    Anything stand out to you?like the look of wigan lane(fahey/hanagan) in the first,and supermassive muse(mcmahon/donohoe) later on for some reason,lol.
    The winner of the last should come from 1 of Brisbournes 4 runners,personally Thorny mandate,best of luck.........

    I had a look last night and backed Bertoliver (8-1), course and distance winner, on the ground, last year off 90 (racing post gave it a mark of 101), now on 80 and a good draw. The fav looks good but as they say never be afraid of one horse, unless it is Dancing Brave (and even then icon7.gif). The clincher is, it is not even mentioned in the Sporting Life write up icon7.gif
    Racing post comment Fellow speedster Bertoliver is dangerously well treated if the return of Philip Robinson does the trick,

    Just had a look, the 20.45 looks like a reasonable e/w race. Bert would have been a steal at 8/1 e/w. T Rex worth a look too.

    Bookmaking is a fascinating subject for anyone who wants to learn about risk and risk management. As I say, there are plenty of people making extremely good livings from gambling.

    I have been interested in making use of the gambling loophole stuff on MSE as I read that you can make upto a grand for not much effort, but I suspect you're talking about actual gambling rather than loopholes?

    Are you making a living out of gambling? If so, what sort of 'income' do you generate out of it (if you don't mind me asking).

    and plenty more mugs who thought they had found the perfect system. Yet failed.

    Some of your other comments were interesting. Particularly the hedging. The only problem with it is that if a bookie was offering 9/1. They wouldn't accept a bet of £100,000 at those odds. The odds would be agreed between the punter and the bookie irrespective of the current market rate.

    One thing is often forgotten, bookies are gamblers as well.
