second note as I shift more work onto the team (stevo would call them minions but I am a better master) going to get my shoes painted;
had originally thought of going with racing gulf colours,
then I thought, this guy has talent, how about the le mans red, Singer Porsche coming out of the mountains
now I am onto greek and roman gods/mythology - thinking this is the best yet given I have a classics degree but no Porsche0 -

what makes you think I care that you don't care ???
Ultimately you trudge out of BB and ruin many peoples threads .... its only fair we come over here and ruin your threads about clubbies
infact now I know you don't care ..... I might do it more often
I don't care that you don't care that he doesn't care (and none of the rest care).
Oh and BTW - the whole of BB is a derailing exercise, so fill yer boots.
@ Flan. As a one time regular frequenter of the Cheltenham festival and many little known mid week meetings, as you are a casual punter, the only advice I can give is follow either:
A stable that is doing well or
A jockey that's doing well.
...and both preferably.
Without studying form, you can work the 'system'. The system is 1,1,2,4,7. You choose the favourite. You place 1 or 10 or 100 or 1000 on the favourite and if it doesn't come in, you do the same. If it doesn't come in, do the same on the 3rd bet - except 2 x what you put on the 1st and 2nd horses. If that doesn't come in, 4 x and then again, if no result - 7 x.
The odds of a flat favourite coming in is 27%. A NH horse favourite - 29%.
The system is simply playing on the odds of the chances of a favourite coming in, except - there's not much payback unless you put large sums on due to the 'short odds'
Here is a fun method. Low chances of success but high payout.
Each way accumulator.
Place £5 (which is a £10 stake as you are going for an each way placing).
Pick the 1st and second favourite from 4 races.
Then pick the 2nd and 1st favourite from 4 races (it can be the same 4 races)
Accumulator 1:
Race 1, Horse A (favourite for that race)
Race 2. Horse B (Second favourite for that race)
Race 3. Horse A (favourite for that race)
Race 4. Horse B (Second favourite for that race)
Accumulator 1:
Race 1, Horse B (Second favourite for that race)
Race 2. Horse A (favourite for that race)
Race 3. Horse B (Second favourite for that race)
Race 4. Horse A (favourite for that race)
Accumulator 3. 'The 'long shot'
Race 1. 3rd favourite
Race 2. 3rd favourite.... etc
Total cost of running 3 accumulators £30.
Or, take a complete gamble. Mix the 12 horses you picked and place them on 3 different lines.
The other beauty is that you are taking all the indecision out of the process and then once you've placed your bet(s), you can sit back and watch it all unfold, knowing you haven't forked out much money in the first instance and that potentially, you could make a fortune - although the chances are slim but better than chucking £x 'on the nose' because tobefair sounds good and how romantic that would be if that horse came in. If you think about that, what actual, rational basis did you put money on that horse?
It's a long shot but much fun because you can have multiple tickets running but you're not paying out much money. In an each way accumulator, the 'winnings' are carried over for up to 4th place. However, be wary of payouts to 4th place as these races contain fields of more than 18 horses - difficult to pick a winner.... and 4th place can be 1/5th the odds, so not much is being 'carried over'.
Putting a speculative £50 on a horse 'cos the horse has a name that sounds good, is madness and playing into the bookies hands. Bet with your head, not your heart.
Sorry Pinno - can you run through that again please.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Why are you turbo training?
I enjoy playing zwift and I can do it whilst looking after my kid. After she is up etc, then I can leave the house,
Go and do some real miles.

What - you're aiming for shite? Wow - you're good - to have achieved your goal early on in your career. Well done. Have a GCSE and some benefits payments.
So you're leaving your sprig to play at cycling computer games and still achieving mid cat c? Hmmmmm, that's good parental care. Well done that man.
Seriously? I couldn't think of anything worse. A bunch of fat Cat 3 lads at 7 in the morning going really slow in matching clothes going hypo because none of have eaten. I deal with enough idiots on a day to day basis at work, I don't need to add you and your club of imbeciles to the list.
Dude - I've forgotten more than you know. Compared to you I'm a waterfall of knowledge. Just the fact that you're posting about missing meals to go riding shows that you know naff all about nutrition and recovery. In actual fact it's worrying that your clubbies mates are condoning this.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Hang on - so you're cat shite on the turbo computer game? So you're not even cat shite on the road? So you've never raced on the road/track?
Seriously?

Matthewfalle wrote:What - you're aiming for shite?
I am aiming for the best I can be .... if that just happens to be shite then so be it, I can cope with loads of people being better than me, there are 7billion people in this world, I would be a fool to think that a mere hour a day of exercise will amount to anything more
So you're leaving your sprig to play at cycling computer games
damn you are slow its easier explaining stuff to P.E teachers .. I am playing computer games so I DONT leave my kid, if I was leaving my kid I would cycle outdoors, I go on the turbo until she is up and off to school .. dumbass :roll:
matching clothes
again ... you don't know what you are talking about. You join in with one club, realise that no one likes you very much, get all sulky and moan continually about it on the internet where you can pretend to be a big man ..... the reality is, some clubs are just a bunch of people that turn up to put the miles in and chat and eat cake
I deal with enough idiots on a day to day basis at work, I don't need to add you and your club of imbeciles to the list.
eh ? .. you don't deal with me, what ?
the fact that you're posting about missing meals to go riding shows
I don't miss meals to go cycling, I eat the meal AFTER I have cycled. Dang to eating that time in the morning and then cycling ..... and really, I had dinner, I went to sleep, there is MORE than enough glycogen in my legs to a couple of hours before I need breakfast.
In actual fact it's worrying that your clubbies mates are condoning this.
Wouldn't know, generally speaking we don't start a ride talking about who had breakfast ... its 7am, it wouldn't surprise me if several of them hadn't eaten0 -

Mate, you need to get a life before you go blabbering away. I presume you bought your bike from the local Trade O' Rama as well?

As an aside, do you tell everyone at work that you race bi-cycles without telling that it's actually a computer game and not real racing?

define "real" club
its in real life and we go out on real roads and we have real cake afterwards
BUT
there is no club kit you have to wear, you can ride what you like, you don't have to have helmet, you don't have to pay any money, some rides are MTB/cyclocross0 -

heh .. .no they know its a computer game , bit hard to have prejudice against it though when they play online computer games like CoD ... oh and they don't pretend they are real military either, they are aware its a computer game 0 -

Sounds like mine. Turn up in what we like go pedalling places come back to the LBS that has a coffee shop attached and sample much cake.0 -

There are real people there. You know, life carbon based life forms.
I'm not talking about you bi-cycling With Rimmer, but like real people on real bi-cycles.
If there are really real people there, do they pretend that they racers as well because they play at a computer game?Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Blimey, the estate agency you work at sounds a barrel of fun.
And are you sure that they are sure that it's only a computer game? Generally these people don't realise that and believe that they are the second man on the balconey..

man you don't give up do you ... you are like one of those little dogs that no matter how much you shake off your leg they keep trying to hump it ... although secretly everyone likes the little humping dogs, where as everyone thinks you are a knob
I hope they do realise its a computer game I have shown them the clips of it ... perhaps to them a computer avatar of someone in lycra actually looks like a real person in lycra ...... they do all drive to work so I guess they don't look at cyclists much !
The best bit about it though, is even though its a computer game, the social side of it means you can have online clubs and race teams ..... heh on-line clubbies ... just think out there there are whole groups of people that virtually wouldn't like you as well as the real clubbies that didn't like you0 -
I am quite enjoying feeding the monkey
I used to have a dog when I was a kid that would sit at the top of the stairs and roll a ball down them at me ... I would pick the ball up and throw it to her, she would catch it and roll it down again.
being a kid I had an almost endless amount of disposable time (and Zwift hadn't been invented) so I occasionally tried to see if she would ever get bored of the game and I would keep playing
she never ever gave up, I didn't once beat her, it was just the same repetitive motion, throw the ball, catch, roll .. wash rinse repeat.
Its like that with the MF ... he just doesnt ever stop ... its almost therapeutic, I cant help myself, just one more reply, just one more reply .... is it possible to win this game or will his little pea brain just endure and endure ?0 -
