That last one of the ITV7 was very close. One person was on that favourite for the jackpot. Imagine being that close, I would need medical treatment if l failed so close to the line.

I do ITV7 all the time, I only managed 1 winner and 2 places today, best I've managed is 5 winners, 1 placed, 1 unplaced, came 63rd overall.

4 winners, 1 placed today, which isn't bad for me because I've never had the attention span for detail, hence, I rarely have a carrot in my pocket. Although, I've tried to be a bit more studious of late. Would much rather lose by two or three than one, or the length of the last race winner. I actually won it once, would you believe,  but about 50 others too and it was only a grand and before they brought in the distance decider. Story of my life really.

my initial thought would be "i should've done the acca as well"

but i guess that's the idea of them doing this, they're counting on you to back your selections with the associated bookie

they weren't short priced winners either! I would have won a few quid with a Super Heinz, only thing is, of the 5 or 6 years of doing ITV7, this is the closest I've come, most times I'd probably end up losing most of my bet. I see it as a lottery type thing now, so just put a small e/w 7 fold acca. ITV7 is tied to SkyBet so the terms for e/w are normally the best but the odds are usually very poor.

I still put a couple of bets on most days, I don't bother with anything more than trebles, my system usually only picks me 1 or 2 horses each day anyway. These are always on the nose, e/w single bets are for wimps 🤣

Lucky 31 35p a line = £10.85 

Johan won at 18/1 . Albasheer probably would have won with a clear run but eh ho .

SkyBet have money back as cash if your horse finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th in the 1405 today.

I’ve had a lucky 31 with them. I can’t tell you wether it’s worth it or not I’m just trying to find a way to get some decent priced winners from time to time . These horses are top weight and the handicapper has them top weight for a reason because he thinks they are the best horse in the race. He knows more than me.

typical, noticed your bet yesterday & matched it. first 2 placed so chucked 5 e/w on the next 2 races that came nowhere so didn't bother doing the final one. ah well

I feel your pain . Tough one to swallow sometimes 😂 That first race at Curragh today there were two top weights. I picked the one because I felt his current handicap mark was workable. He ran well enough but guess who won? Yep, the other top weight at 12/1
