...backed True Self @ 27-1, just won @ 12-1. That’s Punchestown paid for. I don’t want this jumps season to end.

You certainly have given some great tips over the season, congratulations! I see Allardyce runs in the 3.40 tomorrow at the Festival - won in a big field at limerick last time out. Currently 11s. Colours are Blue & White.

What on earth did the poor horse do to deserve a name like that? Probably be slow early doors, look disinterested for the most part, lose and it’ll be everyone else’s fault. Answered my own question I suppose.

???

It touched 16/1 at its biggest price

A race like that won't get double priced ante-post odds either, usually. Where did you get the 27/1?

On the exchanges maybe?

You wouldn't see 27/1 elsewhere.

Dunno mate, not sure it can be, as he talks about "slips" a lot in the thread.

27/1 seems unlikely if that's the case.

It does a bit.

With regards to that punchestown race, the only thing I can think is that the jockey on finians Oscar shouts something to make Paul townend perform that action.

He was about 3 lengths in front at that point and when he looks back the other two were heading in that direction so from his point of view it looks possible they could be going round the last fence. But nevertheless a bizarre ending to that race, Townend will be absolutely gutted.
I was actually on monalee in that race and think he would have won had he not fallen at the second last.

..i don’t back on the exchanges, Golan. I got the 27-1 via Ladbrokes price boost. Both Hills and Ladbrokes on line have a little button on the slip, I backed that one the day before at 25s and the boost took it to 27s. The Ladbrokes boost is particularly good. Recommended. Quite sad somebody on here questions my little bets, but i’m old, comfortable and very content in my own skin.

This is where I got it from (3rd post down). I like these forums, lots of folk worth considering.

..for those ignorant of on-line price boosts, here’s a bit more detail;

It does mean you end up with unusual odds, particularly with Hills (eg who tend to boost a 12-1 to 12.7-1). As punters know, you bet in the shop and get a physical slip, you bet on-line and the terminology is still ‘slip’. Apologies to those that know.

No-one is disputing that price boosts exist (despite the 'ignorant' jibe) it's just you wouldn't get a boost that nearly doubles the price. 27/1 wasn't available on that horse.

The third post there says 20/1 - would be very unusual to add 7 points on with a boost, or everyone would do it for every bet. As you've shown here

12-1 to 12.7-1

That's a 0.7, rather that 7 points difference.

*shrug* whatever makes you happy I guess.

..I got a price boost from 25-1 to 27-1. I know you say 25-1 wasn’t available, but i’m afraid it was.

I tend not to respond to your posts because it’s pointless getting in discussion. I have absolutely no reason to post untruths. What’s more, I naively believe what other people post but that’s just me. Appreciate if we leave it there as I always try and be polite.
