I seem to have run out of Brandy, but found a unopened bottle of Cointreau which goes very well with coffee.

Does anyone know anything about cognac? I have a boxed unopened bottle of "Grande Champagne Cognac" is also has X.O on the box - I premume that means something - perhaps X for 10 years? Should I save it for a special occasion, or just drink it?

I love cognac littlewoman, i suggest you just drink it. I have a bottle of Martell VS on the go.
:-)

If the bar is open, GD, I'll take a glass of champagne, please. Got some girl-friends coming round tonight for a 'study session'..... so might as well start as I mean to go on.

You know the bar is always open Vasey and the champers is always on ice for you. Your study session with the girls sounds fun! Can i come?
:-)

GD
I was looking at cars on E.Bay last night. You pays your money you takes your chance.

If I find a web page with the race details and form, what is the best way to post it here?

Horsey Game... Rules...

1. Jeffmack will post up the runners for one race on a Friday which is due to run on a Saturday (possibly televised).
2. Punters start with 1000 funds
3. You may have a max of 2 bets
4. You may bet for a Win (your horse must finish first to win money)
5. You may place an e/w bet (each way, your horse may finish first or second and you will win half the odds for either finish)
6. If you lose all your money you are out of the game.
7. There will be no refunds for horses that do not race.

any questions?

Players to date...

jeffmack, Whatever you think, as long as you list the relevant details, please post an example and i will let you know?

GD
I tried just copy and paste but it comes out shite.

Regarding the EW bet, I know we want to keep it simple but if you have 10 EW it costs 20 and it is effectively two bets. If the horse wins at 4/1 you have 10 win = 40 and 10 place at QTR odds = 10. If it came second you would get just the place part 10. Of course you would get your stake back as well.

jeffmack, keep trying my friend im sure you can post something. Regarding e/w bets -im working on it?

Poochy, I have read Jeffmack's explanation of these east-west bets and it appears I can have a 10 bet that cost 20.....err.... And the difficult bit is choosing the horse?

Not the way I intend doing it - take one pin.....lol

Hee hee Vasey, i know ew bet costs double which is why i initally said an ew bet would cost what you put on and you get half odds money back for either coming first or second. Im trying all avenues for this plus what fits best into my spreadsheet?

vasey
good to see you back, I thought I may have hurt your feelings last week when I said that sometimes they cover up the horses eyes so that you ladies cant look into them, they do you know but not for that reason. I'm sitting in the chair next to the fire come and have something warm with me and we will talk about picking horses, I might have more luck than in picking stocks!!!

Read the rules, and think I can cope with it - and it's not real money so it could be fun.

Please put my name down.

One of the organisations I'm involved with, has their own Marquee at one of the Sandown meets in February. I get a invite every year, but only went along 2 years ago for the first time. It was a fun day, starting in London @ 9am with a Champagne breakfast. At 10am coaches took everyone to Sandown then into the marquee as the bar was already open. They had TV screens up for people who didn't want to leave the marquee, and the bookies were just outside the entrance. Curry lunch was served at 12.30 and I was surprise at the number of people still standing when the coach left to take everyone back to London when it was over!

and did you win anything lw?

Im not really a horse racing man myself but always have a bet on the National, and have been to Royal Ascot a few times and to other race meetings just for fun. Very rare i ever win anything. :-(


Jeffmack, What about if you post a direct link to the page which as the race details? Then punters can see the selection then post on here their choice.

Bunny, I had the bears in red wine for my lunch and very tasty it was to. You are a true talent in the kitchen. :-)

You're welcome..after all this is a trading/investing tea-room
and if you want bears cooked in wine you can have them but I
draw the line at bulls ;.)

GD - I won't use real money for betting, so didn't place any bets - just went along to watch and get very drunk!

Ok for the Gee Gee Game the e/w bet will be as follows.......

If you want to make an e/w bet then double the bet sum......so a 10 e/w bet will cost you 20 or a 25 e/w bet will cost you 50. and so on.....ok

Now for the maths of it.....

You win money back on a first or second placing, no money for third place.

If your horse comes first this is the maths for a 36.40 bet at 8.5/1

Bet of 36.40 e/w will cost you 72.80

You get back 36.4 x 8.5= 309.40
plus half of this of 309.4 divide 2= 154.70
plus half of bet of 36.40 divide 2= 18.20

So you get back 482.3

If you come second then the maths is........

half of 309.4 which is 154.70
plus half of bet of 36.4 which is 18.20
and add on bet of 36.40

So you get back 209.30

This e/w system will now be the method of play.
