Littewoman, Horse racing, share trading! all a mugs game i suppose but it's fun. The real winners are always those in the know fiddling the books.

Bunny, The poached bears in red wine sounds great, and may have some with my lunch.

Snoball, Have you ever tried the pack of do'nuts that contain varied flavours or those with custard in - very nice.

I have just started to be hooked on ebay (i have put a link above), never knew there was so much stuff for sale. Not sure i would buy a car without looking at it first.

Bunny, Have you got a car for your son yet?

No GD, number one son is still saving more pennies for a better selection
of motors to choose from. But secretly I think he's beginning to wonder
if he really wants the continual drain on his disposable income
that always comes with a car...being in an urban area the public
transport is not that bad so I think it's proving to be a hard
choice now for him.

Watch yourself on E-bay I've got a friend (true story) who is
addicted to the site and goes 'missing' for days only to reappear
having bought yet more stuff!

Morning Little Woman - hope the cold goes soon, try brandy and
lots of it!!

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.
