Saturday Punt - 9 March 2024

[Ken4155]

Despite keeping myself largely to myself last weekend, i managed to catch a bug that's going round. Starts off with burning nostrils, then terribly sore throat, hacking cough, sweats, etc, etc, etc.

Hardly managed a wink of sleep last night so i've taken all of 5 minutes with the ITV7 and subsequent L15. I just cannot be bothered looking for further bets;

1.50 San;  Champagne Twist @ 8/1 - 5 places

2.17 Her;   Ginderella @ 5/1 - 5 places

2.25 San;  Making Headway @ 13/2 - 6 places

3.15 Wol;  King's Code @ 15/2 - 4 places (RF/c with Final Voyage)

20p L15, 2 x £1 e.w. accas.4 placed = £55, 4 winners = £6,773.

 

ITV7; above qualifiers, plus Doctor Khan Junior, Crazierthandaisy and Kotmask. £1 e.w. acca.

Could have been worse; Son works away and he's come home with measles!

Hopefully fully recovered (me that is) by Tuesday.

Best of luck all.

There was a thread for you in Chatterbank Ken. 

[Ken4155]

Thanks for the nudge, Togo. Just been on and replied to it. Made me feel a tad better😉

I was saving this for next week Ken but if you can open it it may also give you a boost. I read it las week but it is paywalled. This may get around that.

Thanks for that, Togo. He's made into a grand old chap. Long may he continue to thrive.

That sounds awful, Ken.

Hopefully this bug will buggger off soon!

My OH was just listening to a song called 'Stumbling In' whilst looking at betting forecast, when a horse called Stumbling in, jumped out at him! ( pardon the pun) I said it's a sign, do it!.. 😄

[Togo]

Indeed Ken sound to me like he is still boss hos. 

[Ken4155]

Patsy, i've done that quite a few times. Reading a news item when radio presenter mentions a phrase i have just read. I immediately look at the ABC to see if there's a coincidence. And i have been known to part with a few shilling e.w. if there is. They don't call us 'Mug Punters' for nothing😉

[Togo]

Bit of a faff this end earlier Ken. Skybet did what they call a periodical security refresh and made me change my pin from a 4 to 6 number before letting me on. Guess what   ...  It also now applies to the ITV7 and Fantasy Football accounts. Just a heads up whilst you are feeling groggy. If you get any of those sky pins wrong you are locked out and it is a devil of a job to get the account open again. 

[Patsy33]

Well, let's hope we can prove them wrong this time, Ken!..😁

[Ken4155]

Togo, i've commented on it on your comment on the FF thread. Been with Skybet quite a few years and this is the first time they've had me change my password.

[Ken4155]

Thanks to the extra places, both e.w. accas came good = £55

[Togo]

Same here Ken. Never had to change details, although about 4 years ago someone tried getting into my FF account and caused me a bit of grief. Had a rather good day all round. A nice 91/1 double which tripled my stake for the day. Stoke beat Preston(one of the oldest fixtures in English football). England beat Ireland in a heart stopping game and Italy won. 😉
