    The 2025 Grand National

    I would love to know the full T&C's ......... BEWARE terms may change if any NR's

    The 2025 Grand National

    Shop business and office / online business are treated separately ( wrongly in my opinion ) so that the bookmaker can control how much a customer can get on a selection ...... if Pricewise for eg tip one at a big price with 6 Places then restrictions can easily be placed on accounts, but if the...

    The 2025 Grand National

    The whole industry has changed somewhat from what it used to be. Betting via the internet and mobile devices was seen as a huge move forward for both bookmakers ( in terms of turnover ) and for punters who would have everything at their fingertips - rather than dashing around numerous shops or...

    The 2025 Grand National

    I think their place side of the market will be under the 800% mark ...... they would ( as you point out ) need to drastically reduce everything to get a 800%+ place book - having been an odds compiler for around 30yrs I understand the mechanics of it all better than the average shop punter or...

    The 2025 Grand National

    They can't halve the prices , but if they are 12/1 for a general 14/1 chance then that is understandable ........ if they went top price on everything then it would be commercial suicide.

    The 2025 Grand National

    Have been told by a couple of people that Paddy Power will be going EW 8 PLACES on Saturday in the SHOPS on Grand National Bets ..... a great offer IF THE ODDS are competitive enough.

    The 2025 Grand National

    I was convinced Burrows Saint was gonna win the National in 2021, but it looks as if the race almost finished him ...... sad to see he still going around and being comprehensively hammered in the Irish Pointing fields - he should have a comfortably armchair and his hooves up in front of the fire...

    The 2025 Lincoln Handicap

    Tom Segal's Pricewise pick for the Lincoln is Lattam Paul Kealy's Lincoln selection is Magnum Opus

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    Lope Harswell is now as now as 12/1 and no bigger than 20's from an initial quote of 66/1 when odds were released for the opening race, one for some EW cash today is Justice Twice ( still a little 25/1 left ) ........ but it's anyone's guess in a field of 17 debutants.

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    Fingers crossed if you're backing Beringer ........I couldn't myself given his past issues and time off the track, I would say he needs more help from the handicapper too, he's only 4 pounds lower than his last win almost six years ago - that said if he is anywhere near his form when dead...

    Apparently the Mildmay course is already Good - Good to Soft in Places.

    The 2025 Grand National

    I stick by what I said the other day, Thursday is likely to be Good to Soft and by Saturday it will be riding very close to Good. All depends how much they put on, but they surely can't over water. The course is looking great at the moment.

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    Justice Twice interests me a little 28's yesterday and 25/1 generally today, trainer has had two winners recently from as many runners ......... I would sooner chance two or three at big prices than go for a fav in a race full of debutants

    The 2025 Longshot Thread

    Have been out for a good chunk of the day, but would have put this up earlier. It is somewhat of a guessing game in this race but I was advised by somebody in the industry to have an EW interest at a similar price ...... with 4 places on offer the 33/1 with Sky - Ladbrokes and Coral may shorten...

    The 2025 Grand National

    Don't be put off by Jockeys having their first ride in the race, a few that spring to mind that won the race on the first attempt = Ryan Mania ( Auroras Encore ) Niall ( Slippers ) Madden on Numbersixvalverde , Jason Titley ( Royal Athlete ) , Liam Treadwell ( Mon Mone ) ....... there must...

    The 2025 Grand National

    I think one thing that is overlooked by some, is the fact that since the race distance has been shortened along with the modification of the fences is that the race is generally run at a quicker tempo. I don't know the stats ( maybe someone has the figures ) but how do the injury & death rates...

    The 2025 Grand National

    '' Good '' safe jumping ground is not dangerous, tacky going hinders jumping and is potentially worse ..... as I've said they will aim for G/S on Thursday, will most likely water that even to hopefully maintain G/S but with NO rain forecast it will be close to Good come Saturday. The Going...

    The 2025 Grand National

    I'm not that far myself - just over the other side of the Mersey. Not long back home from there ........ the Going is currently '' Good to Soft '' ( soft in places ) ...... I'll be amazed if it doesn't dry up a little at least.
