Still not had my B365 refund, said two hours, been over 3.5. I'm sure it will come through but if they state 2 hours and they know it will be busy I'd of expected them to sling the required processing power to meet it.

I haven't had mine either. I'm still doing the rollover so only put a grand total of £10 on with them in case the offer wasn't available to me. They sent me messages about it though, so I should get it really.

[member=2426]xDPS[/member] Have they not narrowed yet? I looked a while back and the QLs were pretty high. Would have thought they'd come down by now.

Not enough! Stupidly I put the back bets on this morning.

 

[stonecrows]

Oh no! Some of the back odds have fluctuated a bit so that will affect the lay odds too. Hope you get them laid. Is it worth risking them unlaid?

 

[stonecrows]

Unlaid bets definitely don't suit me, I feel a little bit sick right now....

I've layed them now.
But just realised that the worst is a £5 QL but is the BB offer for £5 free bet, so I should only be a couple of quid down on that overall. So not as bad as I thought.

Did you place them by 12pm? Maybe lots of people did it last minute so it's taking longer.

 

[auntygeek]

Almost time guys!!! I have so many random £1 EW bets on outsiders that I'm going to have to cross reference the result with my spreadsheet before I know what's what! If any of them place it should cover the mugs..

THEY'RE OFF

 

[xDPS]

Me too. decided to play with £10 on all the extra place offers. Ive forgotten who I'm cheering for!

 

[auntygeek]

My PP refund went £10 EW on the last samurai also have £10 FB on many clouds

1 and 27 I'm cheering on!

 

[stonecrows]

Oh god how long is this race?!

 

[auntygeek]

I hate it when they fall it upsets me so much

Come on last samurai! Rule he world is my TMS horse too lol

 

[stonecrows]

BASTARDS!!!!!


I hate it when they fall too, especially for the poor horses.

 

[Uhhhhh]

Wahey [member=143]auntygeek[/member] yours won! I think mine came third....the TMS Sweepstake I mean. When I looked this morning it had the second to highest odds. Really does show that it's anyone's race.


Blimey there's going to be a lot of happy middle-aged female Take That fans this afternoon!


Also...one of my bet365 bets came 5th! Only on a £25 bet so I don't know how much extra I will get but I think I get something!!

 

[auntygeek]

Ahhh I had Rule the World in the TMS sweepstake... £50! Yeah [member=2431]Uhhhhh[/member] ! I can't believe it!

If Last Samurai had held on it would have been £120 from my fb EW... plus £30 from 2nd sweepstake, wrong way around for me!!! Can't complain though I'm still UP at least £50 plus Last Samurai for placing... I had a load of £1 and £2 EWs and NONE of them placed, unbelievable!!! So my Last Samurai place mainly covers the mugs... !!!

Probably good though, I didn't want to win big in PP from a fb so ALL OKAY

 

[Chammy]

So, erm...guess who had Rule The World with their free Stan James £5 and DIDN'T lay

 

[Jon]

OH MY GOD!!!!!

NICE WORK [member=277]Chammy[/member]

Well quite an exciting day, bets placed all over the shop haha!

The tactic I took - which is not risk free - is I Backed this morning and placed my hoped for Lays straight away but were obviously unmatched at that point. I don't wait for the odds to drop before Laying as a) sometimes odds will jump down and straight back up again in a matter of seconds and b) there is a queue system for funds in the pot, so that also helps ensure my chances of a match in the event of a blip in odds rather than a sustained move.

Out of all my bets at the start of the race, 6 were unmatched at the off - Saint Are to win and 5 Each Way bets. I was actually ok with all of these going unmatched (otherwise I'd have taken the QL) and considered it part of the fun...I abstained from betting for nearly all of Cheltenham so this was my treat

However, Saint Are very kindly made the running for the 1st few fences so I was able to actually Lay him after the off and even got an arb!

I had Goonyella for 5th place and he was one of the horses I got an EW Lay on too so happy days...while I didn't make a fortune, I did end £8.74 up overall taking into account all of my QL's, the unlaid and mug bets.

Very happy with that and also very happy to hear all our 4 legged friends that took part made it home ok too

You lucky thing [member=277]Chammy[/member]
Well done.

Sweet!!!! Congrats

 

[Uhhhhh]

Well done [member=277]Chammy[/member] !

Does anyone have the link to the calculator that someone posted on PA where you can figure out how much extra you get if your horse placed 5th? I can't find it on the thread as it's so long my screen keeps jumping back and forth.

I'm impatient and can't wait for bets to settle!
