Sunday Punt - 7 Aug 2022

[Ken4155]

The 'SkyBet Sunday Series' moves to Haydock, this week, with 7 races to look forward to - most of them quite competitive. All 7 race are on ITV4, so there is an ITV7 with £50,000 on offer.
The first race is @ 3.45 and is therefore the first leg of the ITV7. The 2nd race consists of 13 newcomers so i have left this race out of my usual £1 e.w. ITV7 acca.

3.45; Kimngrace @ 4/1 - 5 places
4.45; Good Earth @ 9/1 - 7 places (Rev f/c with Rambusco Creek)
5.15; Solar Joe @ 13/2 - 5 places (Rev f/c with Jewel Maker)
6.45; Arctic Fox @ 5/1 - 4 places

20p L15, £1 e.w. acca. 4 placed = £22, 4 winners = £2,873

ITV7; Thise above, plus Road To The East, Indian Dream and Rose Barton*. £1 e.w. sixfold.

*£2 win @ 12/1

Also done the placepot. Best of luck if you're punting.

Just a little curious, not being a betting man. Do you think you win, or lose, overall or is just for the fun of having a go?

[Ken4155]

Paigntonian, the 'thrill of the chase' and the constant pitting of wits against the bookies is all important. However, were i constantly in hock to the 'enemy', i would have packed in long ago. As it is, i enjoy it so much that i have a bet almost every day of the year.
I can sometimes go a few weeks without actually 'winning', but then a couple of decent returns puts me back on an even keel. In truth, i am probably 'down' overall - i have been gambling since i was 14! - but because of the amount i stake, i probably haven't spent much more than most folk do on their favourite hobbies.

Just sorting a punt Ken. Done the ITV7 and if that comes in, or anywhere near, I am booking the New Year cruise. Get back to you.

Got on handy before we are off out for a walk again. B.O.G. with 365 and split the Haydock runners into two punts. **** E/W Acca, Trebles, & Doubles. ⁕⁕⁕E/W Trixie. Also done 5p E/W Accas on the ITV7 from the 7timer down to the 4 timers. Good Luck to all but I think that I will need it the most. :))

5.15 Haydock forecast paid £141.76p Kerching! :-))

[Ken4155]

A 4th place for Arctic Fox in the last not only gives me £22.10 for 4 placed in the L15, but also a further £104.83 for the e.w. sixfold. Total returns on the day = £268.69. Total stake was £14. One of those days:-))
