Do the oddschecker odds flicker to SP for some bookmakers after an initial display of the odds?

Another gamble on Alice Springs at Deauville. Qemah could be the value at 11/4.

Good call, that O'Brien horse seems to have an allergy to running well in France.

Greg Broderick 12/1 for individual gold with Paddy power. 50/1 with Bet victor. Worth a tenner I reckon. In flying form at the minute!

Looks good!, also @50 via SJ, most other places 21-26 going short. Can be found under Equestrian > Jumping > Individual.

Have opted for the general stereotyping when it comes to the Olympics i.e. Ireland for the fighting, couple of Jamaicans for the fast running, and Kenyan for the slow running. All aboard '3 cats worth of a mixed event tenfold'.

Anybody else on Strategic Heights later? Was thinking this might be a prep run for one of the Newcastle races on Friday but no sign of an entry :-( Market seems to be saying todays the day.

That is a pity. Ill never forget the sight of him motionless coming around the final bend on Belvano (we were on my brothers pick that day) at cheltenham on about 15 lengths behind and cruising up after the last and winning easily. (if i remember he was cursing that he used the whip at all and didnt need it)

He was excellent 95% of the time..

I'll always remember his ride on Frenchman's Creek in Cheltenham. Quality.

On a certain type of horse there was no one better.

How the **** is Chad Le Clos 14/1 in the 100M Butterfly. I've gone in with a decent sized bet

He drifted from 11/4 top price to 15/1 top price after the semi's for some reason despite a strong swim and nabbing lane 5 for the final. Surely Phelps will struggle from lane 2

Three way tied for second :pac:

Seems to be a few quid down on Nobel Aussie later at tipp. 8/1 from 20's

Betfred Mile winner Franklin D has suffered a fatal injury on the gallops this morning.

That's a real shame.

My tracker has lit up with Sutter County, a horse that looked a monster early this season in his first run. Won giving weight away next time, was hoping to see him at Ascot Coventry but he never made it. Would like to see money for him to confirm his well being

BumperD

Heartbreak City is getting some of my cash today. In good form, trainer is a master at prepping one for a big race and ground/trip and ratings boxes all ticked. Hope he settles and is covered up by the experienced claimer on board

Fair play bumper.. Some ride by young McNamara

Nonetheless looks overpriced in the last at hq tomorrow, race it won lto has worked out well, 2nd, 3rd and 5th all winning next time out and she ran through the line well. Jockey bookings suggest the stablemate is preferred but I put that down to a presidential decree being issued for his head to be lobbed off if he jumped ship! Plenty of potential in the race but 12/1 ew looks value. GL

naughto

persuco is out again in ballinrobe tomorrow evening haven't heard anything from my connection this time thought

Francie Barrett

Mad Brian worth a shout in the 7:00. Know one of the owners and they really rated this one until it fell a few years back and sustained a bad injury. Don't know will it ever be the same again, but this race isn't very strong. 11/2 best price now.

Johner

In a jock.

Let the man get his cash on 1st ffs.

Letting people know now who could potentially(Almost certainly) ruin the price for him with €10s or €20s bets.

Yeah it's by no means a cert but I'd imagine you'd get 12s or 14s the night before (too big even before seeing the draw or field). Sports book might even cock up as usual and go bigger. I'll know Sunday anyway and post hopefully will give a good account

MS – We do not close accounts. We do restrict certain accounts, however, but these are a very small minority and these are almost exclusively because bets are not placed in good faith. For example, for customers abusing promotions.

How do they know what accounts are laying on Betfair? In reality they're just restricting people who beat SP.
