I've made some good profits from laying front runners in large fields, just on this occasion the front running jockey nailed the timing and the others fkd it up. There should be some sort of stewards enq when this happens as it is supposed to be a race and letting a front runner get away whilst actively preventing 10 horses getting involved is quite outrageous. If I was a trainer and I'd dragged my horse all the way there I'ds want an explanation as to why they sat off the leader so much in a 7f race. Horse Racing is all about times/timing. Might not sound like it but I’ve moved on now.
LOL! Mate, wake up. This is full of self-pity and blaming other factors. How about taking some responsibility? Been a while since I've read such a pile of shit as this to be honest. As long as you have that attitude, you'll continue to make those mistakes.
If I want your opinion I will ask for it. Until then I suggest you S.T.F.U. As I explained in other posts I have made quite a bit of money from laying horses that go off to fast from the from and get swamped by the pack late on. The only thing I have said on is on this occasion the jockeys got thier timing s wrong and let the F.R lead to much.

I suggest you change the way you speak to me. I guarantee you wouldnt speak to me like that in the pub, so best check yourself. Mate.
By posting on a public forum, it does somewhat invite other people's opinions.

Pretty random to bring in what would happen if we were in a pub, but let's run with it; If you were at the bar asking for a steward's enquiry because your lay bet wiped out a day's profits, I guarantee you the reaction would be way more harsh than what I offered you.

You said that you're a gambler, and that's obvious from your post, because you have the same self-pitying tone that is endemic in that field. It's the cliche, isn't it? A gambler, run of bad luck, failing to accept that anything can happen, and bemoaning everything else, rather than taking responsibility for a fuck up. Until you can do that, a gambler you'll remain.

So I won't be checking how I speak to you. I'll talk to you however I want, and your usual large and in charge, bully boy persona that you no doubt emply daahn the pub won't work with me, and, judging by your results, doesn't work in the market either.

Perhaps some of these comments should appear in the rant thread.

Let's get back to focusing on the racing?

There is a way of speaking to people and a way not to. What he said was personal attack in a disrespectful manner. I would have thought the Moderator would have done something to set a standard of discourse, otherwise it will just lower the tone of the threads/forum.

But as you said lets get on with the racing.

To be fair that's fairly tame compared to some of the stuff that's been said on the forum.

The problem with getting into personal ding dongs is no matter how in the right you think you may be, both parties end up looking like clowns to the rest of the forum. I'm speaking from personal experience not as some kind of forum police.

Better off just trying to thrash it out in PM's or drawing a line under it and moving on.

If somebody has a problem with something I have posted in the forum then challenge the issue not the person. My complaint was NOT that I lost the money it was £141 in what is a £5k account, Ive lost more with less. My complaint was that the way the jockeys structured the horse race was Bulls**t and they let the front runner get away from them because they mistimed the race as a group. Things like this never go challenged by the horse racing authorities it is all brushed under the carpet to project a harmonious sport, which we all know it isnt. So challenge my opinion of the race, not me as a person who he has 0.0001% information to go on.

In the words of Forest Gump: Thats all I have to say about that.

Laying a front runner and hoping that the field catches it doesn't seem like a sound strategy. You lost that money as someone with faster pictures or was at the track snapped your money up in a heartbeat. I can't see where you can find an edge consistently taking this approach?

Yes good point, my strike rate isn't anything to write home about either but as long as you win more than you lose....
