My brain is malfunctioning (AGAIN!)
What does e/w mean in this context 2nd in the final? These bets are not for the heats at all are they. Sorry my head is fried with the Guineas

Re: GREYHOUND DERBY ANTEPOST COMPETITION
Do you have to make selections pre-heats, or can you wait and join later - knowing that might have a dog at a much lower price than someone has already selected it at? |
||||||
| alansouthcoast |
E/w as per the ante post best available. Some bookies do six places, others only four. Scroll to the bottom of odds checker to see if the price you pick is 6 or 4 places.
Adds.......There is also a comp on betfair, in the ante post dogs forum |
||||||
| alansouthcoast |
Good question Sky..... Its fine by me, but to be fair maybe we should say people must place selections before round three starts.
Its not really on letting you have 5 E/w picks on final night is it 
|
||||||
| alansouthcoast |
Re: GREYHOUND DERBY ANTEPOST COMPETITION
Sky has suggested joining on part way through the competition. I am okay with this but think in order of fairness people must make selections BEFORE heat three, thats the last 48. Anyone who has already selected, can opt to change to this. I will stick with doing my bets now. |
||||||
| Sky_Of_Darkness |
Sounds fair, as my thoughts were that picking so early is just a bit of random guesswork. |
||||||
| alansouthcoast |
Ignore the PM Sky, to be honest though, most of the top dogs get to the last 48, however, there often is the odd shock. One drawback of not betting now, is if a dog wins in a superquick time, any value will disappear. | ||||||
| Sky_Of_Darkness |
True, but as with any dog races, luck plays a large part. Best dog often doesn't win. |
||||||
| westmeadhawk |
Random guesswork 
edited to add: may take some time in my case - I will try to post up before the heats tonight but I want to read my RP supplement properly first and the dog has just dug a big muddy hole in the garden and run it all up the stairs and round the Venetian boudoir that is my bedroom 
So, lots to do best crack on

Reminder that the last chance to enter is before Saturday nights racing 17th May | ||||||
| westmeadhawk |
Alan - could you fix it for me to win please - I've not won a thing in ages? | ||||||
| theGoingStick |
I've never read such blatant cheating in all my life
|
||||||
| westmeadhawk |
Sheer desperation
|
||||||
| alansouthcoast |
Through to the final :
Westmeadhawk. Loyal Honcho £10 @ 40 William Hills 1/4 odds 1,2,3,4 Blonde Dino £5 @ 100 Extrabet (never heard of them) web site doesnt say TGS. Tyrur Kieran - £10 e/w - 6 places - 14/1 Tyrur Laurel - £10 e/w - 6 places - 25/1 Well done both of you. |
||||||
| westmeadhawk |
Bother I haven't got the places for Dino | ||||||
| alansouthcoast |
Since Loyal Honcho is only the first 4 places, i am sure TGS will be a sport and let you have the first six on Dino. I wouldnt if it was me though 
|
||||||
| westmeadhawk |
Fingers crossed - I think I greedily shot myself in my fat foot there
|
||||||
| theGoingStick |
Ooooooohhhhh after the blatant cheating on this thread
|
||||||
| alansouthcoast |
Dont be stupid ! IF there was cheating going on i would still have some runners left wouldnt i ?
First prize is a trip to Great Leighs. Second prize is two trips to Great Leighs
|
||||||
| theGoingStick |
Well I'm glad westmeadhawks attempts at trying to bribe the quiz master failed
Does that include a chauffeur driven white ford escort to the track and you're accompanied by a couple of dolly birds wearing white stilettos
So what happens here then, seeing as it's an admin error it looks as though it should be £5 e/w, but how many places did Extrabet pay ? Some were 4 and some were 6, I can't remember Extrabet. |
||||||
| alansouthcoast |
Its your call TGS... If either of you get the winner the places wont matter. If WMH doesnt get the winner or the other dog placed 1,2,3,4 you have won anyway.
White stilletoes and Essex girls, i cant wait for Westmead to read this..
|
||||||
| theGoingStick |
I'm sure westmeadhawk is a canny punter and would of chosen the 6 places, lets go with that. TBH I fancy Tyrur Laurel to win it after watching the semi finals last night.
I think she's too busy sorting out her perm
|
||||||
| westmeadhawk |
You don't think I actually back dogs do you
4 places was the deal with Extrabet I think - Mikey has posted something similar. Anyway Honcho will win so it's all good
PS off for a short break but back for the final |
||||||
| alansouthcoast |
The winner by a country mile is WESTMEADHAWK with a massive £630 return. Second was TGS with £117.50p Well done to both of you. |
||||||
| westmeadhawk |
HURRAY! 
Thank you Alan - I haven't won a comp before 
|
||||||
| theGoingStick |
Well done westmeadhawk 
I wish I'd actually placed the bets now
|
||||||
| alansouthcoast |
My pleasure Westmead..... great tipping from both of you, two each into the final from a possible 180 odd selections.
Loyal Honcho made me £15 profit on Betfair, so im happy to get all my outlay back. I had Lenson express at 510 to win on Betfair as well. |
||||||
| westmeadhawk |
Glad you came out on top Alan
A modest profit for me on Betfair too, win bets only! I was wondering, next year, could you give us real money for the comp?
