Rough tips and other bets...

Short favourites winning easy is so boring
-
I can't believe that big cat of a horse has just thrashed them.
-
What the fuck was that?
-
I had Reykavik in a multi with Mr. Executive to place for $7.50...plus an e/w on Mr executive, so that's about it for my wins today.
My other multi paying over $6k I only got 4/8 horses...
-
Shit day. 1 winner and 3 money backs. Thankfully only bet Flemington today
-
Reykavik is a nice win though mate. Had a nice piece of it but at $8 and the bugger drifted to $12!!
And by 'big cat' I assume you are talking about nature strip??? Was one of my better wins yesterday. Loved the outside draw and knew it wouldnt be caught. $4.80 yes please but wow didnt expect it to win so well. Santa ana lane just unbackable at that price.
I chose Rondinella over Girl Tuesday but both no good. I was almost on Oceanex which won it but didnt think it quite had the class..doh!
-
Yes. Nature Strip is a big cat who steals people's money.
My old friend Stealthy Lucas won The Ararat Cup today to cash in one of my bonus bets from yesterday. So I end the weekend ahead.

I just saw a classic “bridge-jumper” at Mountaineer racetrack in USA. Total 103K bet in the show (3rd place) pool — of that 92K was wagered on the 1/9 fave — who ran 4th. The three show places paid $18.00, $17.20 and $34.30 respectively — better than the win & place payouts.
I gotta start paying closer attention to the betting pool totals...

@Smudge is Some Do one of the horses you are involved with?
-
Where in the actual fuck are Racing NSW getting all their money? They have another ordinary race in Newcastle tomorrow that is for $1M. Some average horses stand to make serious money in NSW these days.
-
Just put a fiver on Kolovos to place at $16 at Alexandra Park...bloody thing won, was paying about $61 to win too, thought was too longer odds to go e/w haha

If she is, congrats on the win, if not, yay anyway, got her when she was $18 for the win.

@mariner4life I think the answer to that question is, from Muppets like me.

She is! Sorry, full on week so I didn't get a chance to get on here and tip her out. She got an average draw but I couldn't believe the bookies opened her at $18 - I was thinking $6 or so. I popped $15 each way on her. She was driven like she was the best horse in the race and that's exactly what she was. She's now 3 from 5!

How much of the betting pool actually goes to purse money in Australia?
I’d imagine something close to 85% of the total betting pools get returned to punters, yes? Higher/lower?

it sounds like skill, but i want to make it absolutely clear i don't really know what i am talking about and it's guesswork
stunned!! Here I have been following your every post waiting for your expertise...only to find out you are just a bit more experienced at guessing than me
i can't even call it educated guesswork.
It does mean i do really shit on days when favourites clean up. like every day in Cairns recently
And on a day like today in Sandown I get done over
-
@mariner4life I started the day with an e/w on an an $8 winner, but nothing since...even found out I have Trackside, so wasted a few dollars there too this afternoon while cooking dinner...
down on where I started the day, but still way up from where I started yesterday!!

Gold fields at 5s, and one at riccarton at about 5 means I'll end up even I think
I've had 2 at decent odds pipped on the line. Conquerer would have been very nice

One good bet for me today was savitiano. Smashed it when it opened on weds at 10/3.50. Knew it could get to rail and lead from the outside barrier and it did that and ran them ragged to win paying about $5. Farken brilliant!
Edit - should mention that I had it mapped to follow Homesman across however they elected to take it to Sandown which I thought may impact the race shape but in fact it possibly made it easier!
