Considering he has finished in the top 3 in all 3 majors this year, Rickie Fowler at 20/1 is worth a punt ew.
Given his record of top 3 in all 4 now, I'm amazed he is 18/1 for the next big Tourney, the Barclays.

If it ain't broken, don't fix it. I'm on again.

I've learned that when I really have a strong feeling for a bet, not just a like, but a really confident position, I am right quite a reasonable percentage of the time. I'm pretty discliplined on keeping stakes consistent but now I have started doubling on those strong bets.

Sole Power, treble stakes today.

I love that horse, been on all his wins this year.

Signed up to Coral connect and got 5/1. Unbelievable price for such a horse. :scarfer:

Could one of you betting gurus work out the return if this comes in today please. I can't remember what it said. I thought it said just over 2k but someone else said they thought it just over 1100k. Cheers fellas. :thup:

Have you considered laying off your bet for a guaranteed return?
Example £50 on the draw @ 6/1 and £50 on the away win @ 14/1
Worst ways £350 return then £750 then minus your new stake money £1000 return

Final score 1 -1. Unlucky.

We had this debate a while back, but I really don't understand why people put 1/8 shots in their accas. The risk v return makes no sense to me.

All you other picks are blinders, the perfect way to stack up a big win at reasonable odds, but you are brought down by something that I'm guessing was worth £120 in a £1120 acca.

Put it this way, would you ever have stuck £800 on Dinamo as a single bet to win £100?

As Screech said hopefully he covered it. I'd be staggered if he didn't with that sort of money involved.
