    What is "predatory pricing"?

    I worked in the betting industry for most of my career - mainly head office for various companies ( now gladly out of it ) and I could tell you many tales of what goes on ' behind closed doors ', one tale that sticks in my mind from the early days of internet betting - one particular firm was...

    Ubedizzy

    There were some great rogues back in the 1970's .......... the hurdler Levaramoss was a favourite of mine, pretty sure he beat the Josh Gifford trained Kybo one day who was a high class hurdler. Levaramoss often refused to race and eventually banned, ended up Pointing under the name of Max and...

    Bet365 up for sale

    Assuming 365 do sell up, you can guarantee that the product will see a complete overhaul by their new owners - particularly if it is by an American buyer. The free bets - superboosts - cash back - 2 goals up and be paid - numerous place markets on the same race etc etc etc etc will all be gone...

    The 2025 2000 Guineas

    Green Impact is a horse that I like, and is well thought of by trainer Jessica Harrington. Has a bit to find on the ratings but there will be no stamina doubts about the trip ( and should stay further ), my main concern though is the current stable form - Jessie is 0/29 at the time of posting...

    Bet365 up for sale

    They are considering a number of options, but the business I believe is not officially up for sale yet. But tbh I can totally understand if the family choose to sell up. The betting industry has been destroyed in this country by the GC, politicians and do gooders. Bookmakers are scared to take...

    The 2025 Bet365 Gold Cup Handicap Chase

    Is Willie being naughty keeping Grangeclare West in the race to keep the weights down for more fancied runners from the yard ? Lombron has something to find on form , but is young and open to improvement and 33's / 25's looks too big to me carrying 10-02 from a mark of 142, I would think he...

    They are a dreadful firm Alex, and offer precious little to punters.

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    I think she was 19 pounds wrong plus the jockey's 3 pounds claim ....... on what she had shown she probably was close to being a 200/1 chance to win the race - but taking the top three or four in the market out of the equation, that's when the extra places come into calculation and some of...

    What are you backing Today? Part 2

    **** Not my Bet ...... but just seen this on X , a guy was fortunate enough to back this one this afternoon - but they don't pay BOG when offering Extra Places ....... his return elsewhere would have been £1210 - virtually three times the amount that he received .... more or less every race this...

    The 2025 Queen's Cup Handicap

    Wild Waves looks great EW value to me @8/1 ( Bet365 ) , yard is in great shape as you say and trip looks ideal - he was very progressive last season and has been rested since a gelding operation back in September - can see him starting around the 5/1 mark. There is rain forecast on Wednesday...
