Blacko Posted July 6, 2024 Share Posted July 6, 2024 Reminds me of the old sham years ago where paper tipsters would advertise to pay them after the race. A mass mail shot would then take place selecting each horse in the race and allocating them randomly. A win win situation. Derren Brown is brilliant to watch. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that and it came out as a scam when 2 people who may have known each other realised they were given a different horse in the same race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrUKHackz Posted July 6, 2024 Share Posted July 6, 2024 Denman gave me his horse once but with specific instructions of when to place the bet and max amount allowed. It was 28/1 the night before and went off 7/2 as I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a few owners, it’s a very expensive hobby and I don’t blame them for keeping certain knowledge to themselves. I was told on two occasions where the jockey has been suspended/injured that the unwritten rule is to put a few hundred in his/her hand during lean times. It makes sense to look after each other.

Just gamblers mate, some piss poor, some good, some amazing, but still just gamblers with stories. People get a bit caught up in that world, IF you take a long enough step back - away, the clouds part and you begin2 realise there is a LOT more2 life than gambling on horses most days, when you recalibrate it just doesn't matter. Watched a young boy walk out of a local bookies on Friday, he almost smashed the door, it was clear what he was walking away from, a loss, it feels good now walking past these places. Will that boy return ? who knows, that's up2 him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system is so fucking old that they based an episode of minder on it in the early 1980s I remember one that I did. It was probably in the 90s. I got the horse and had to put 5 torn ones on for him. He gave the horse, Mind Games which was probably the fastest horse Jack Berry had. Only problem was it was against Lochsong. I said to him , you're kidding ain't you. It won't beat lochsong. There was only half a length in it but lochsong won. I thought Jesus I know more than you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate didn't see this post, as I remember I'd gone in the green so much from it being backed in I layed it off and had won without the race even taking place yet. @4houghts was on it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
