In hindisght I probably should have layed off at evens But I took the view that the horse was a 1/2 shot and so why should i lay off at evens? But I guess that I should have layed him at that price anyway due to having him at ave odds of 7/2; and so should have traded the position even if I thought the price was a bit too big. But I didn't. Live and learn . . . .

well at least YY is consistent; he was always on about the price, not the horse's winning potential

but when trading out was mentioned it was scoffed at by some because the horse couldnt be beaten or couldnt possibly fail to get a place....

I suppose it comes down to this

1 as YY said, if you had played the market on this horse, there was money to be made because the horse was available at a price which would more than likely contract

2 as some of us said there was over confidence being placed in the horse because nothing is certain, expecially at Cheltenham (where the horse had never won)

so if you were playing the market, good bet, if you were backing the horse to win, hard luck.

shall we call it quits now?

Can't make up my mind whether Judge has kept out of this thread because;

1) He's embarrassed
2) He's distancing himself from some of the undignified banter
3) He's had to sell his laptop to pay this months bills.

Maybe this should be a poll.

I'd vote 2.
