The boosted odds or 3 teams to win on Sky Bet are usually a sign that the bookies fancy an upset might be on the cards, imo.
I used to take those before Skybet disqualified me from offers and think I won like 2 in 3 seasons, even more cursed than this thread

The SoT boosts Sky Bet offer are like printing money. I went on the De Bruyne 2+ SOTs yesterday @5.00 and it came in within half an hour.

Skybet are doing a money back if your horse loses in the 1330 Supreme Novice (up to €20) Stuck the 20 on bring on the night at 18/1 yesterday but has drifted out to 22/1 and they aren’t doing BOG. Was pretty impressive in his last race winning by 8 lengths. Willie Mullins outsider in the race. Looks a nice prospect, best of the outsiders but probably much too soon.

Those ones are decent tbf unlike the trebles, unfortunately got limited to 50p stakes otherwise would keep doing them as definitely value long-term

Just using the free bets this year. If I get a win I'll have a dabble, but not putting my own money down this year. Gone for a bit of a cover on the first race using different bookies so should be able to have a look at the today's races as a minimum

Any one knows of anything in the Arkle, not aware of any these horses, maybe go Blackmore just?

Was watching a preview this morning and all 4 went with constitution hill in the first one . Ankle was difficult to predict they said but 3 of them still backed the favourite Edwardstone

my old man used to have a daft theory that horses returning from wind pipe ops go well when they come back so I've stuck my Paddy Power free bet on Tea Clipper in the next as that's returning from the op

I was also just looking at Tea Clipper too for an outside punt along with Floueur

My grandad had this with greyhounds. If one has a shit before the race, back that one.

slightly profitable day, hopefully the free bets do better tomorrow, main bet won that's the main thing.

Close on a few big prices. Basically broke even.
