Saturday Punt - 27 May 2023

[Ken4155]

Here, there and everywhere for today's ITV7, beginning at Goodwood where the 2.05 gets the ball rolling. Then, via 3 from Happy Haddock and 2 from beautiful York, we take a trip across the sea to end with the 3.40 at the Curragh.

And, if i have a day half as good as last weekend at Thirsk, i'll be a very happy chappy. We began with the forecast in the opener - the race we were initially gong to by-pass - then followed it with 2 x 16/1 winners , Bay Breeze and Danzan (we were both on Danzan, me e.w., son (Dan) straight win), and also had the Fahey trained winner of the last, Hartswood @ 11/2.

In addition, we had a couple of winners on the 'away' boards and ended the day on a very tidy profit.

Envious of the son because he's on a stag do today over at the Knavesmire while i have to make do with sitting in front of the tv:-(

Good evening Ken. I did have a flutter but was out and about early this morning without internet for a while. I did the ITV7 and had 4 winners and 3 seconds! Yacowlet, Covey, Monndamej, Little Big Bear, Mimkyu, Dramatised and Paddington. Picked up just under £180 in all, including a 7 and 6 timers placed for £39.16. Ahh well it gets the drinks in. I always get a bit back when I am away on hols. It is uncanny.

Not been having much luck with my very modest 25p win lucky 15, so last week I decided to have a shot at the dogs.
My bet covered two races, and consisted of ...
2 x 50p rev/f singles
1 x 50p rev/f double

£4 on

Both obliged, and the f/c's were £7.24 & £30.96 which become £3.62 & £15.48
So far, so good !!

The rev/f double IMO should be £7.24 x £15.48 !! (as I'm still just playing with 50p ' s !!
W.Hill thought different, and paid out £131 ( paying

[Sam1960]

Sorry that jumped ...

Meant to say paying out £3.62 X £30.96 !!
Am I missing something, or has the settler made a faux pas !!

[Sam1960]

^
sorry, that should read

The rev/f double IMO should be £3.62 x £15.48 (as I'm still just playing with 50p's) !!

[JJ109]

William Hill are correct!

After the first fircast you have 3.62 going onto the next.
If one pound is worth 30.96, then 3.62 is going to be 3.62 times this
30.96 * 3.62 = 112.07
lus the single forcasts 3.62 + 15.48
Total = 131.17

Very nice win, Sam!

[Sam1960]

Thanks JJ.
Sorry for making such a hash of trying to explain my reasons for doubting W Hills settler. Just happy you were able to understand what I was on about.
When I first worked out my returns I got it to £131 Then I started to doubt myself, and believed that the rev/f double would be £3.62 x £15.48 as I was playing with 50p stakes.
A nice return for a small stake, but like all bets, never easy to get up.
Sorry Ken for hijacking your thread, hope you don't mind. And thanks again JJ for taking the time and effort to reply to my query.
