Royal Ascot 2020 (Day 3)

So I kinda fucked up with the 4:40 and somehow came out of the greatest escape over £300 up. Had a meeting a work at 4:30 and had been pretty busy all afternoon. I only realised that the race had gone down to 15R when I came to lock in my monster place arbs on the 4 & 5 place markets and saw Enigma mentioned the 15R. In a bit of a panic, I checked both Bet365 and Ladbrokes who were only now paying 3 places. Without a 3 place tab on Betfair, I decided to let both place bets run.

To hit both 2nd & 3rd with Waliyak and Dubai Love when I was possibly looking at a £100 loss has to be the luckiest situation I have come across since doing these EWs.

Still on shock! Needless to say today has turned out quite nicely! – What do you guys normally do when this situation happens, do you just let the place run and hope for a place. I guess I could have cashed out my bets with the bookies, but then I would have had to mess around with the win lays I’d already placed and didn’t have the time for that mess!

Oh yeah, I was never gonna lay the 4 or 5 places market. Could have been hundreds down. I think this is the first time its happened to me when I couldn’t lay the same place terms as the bookie. Had it on the 3 places being cut to 2 and then I’ve layed the 2tp market for small loss etc. Just didn’t notice that there was no 3 place tab before. Had to have this sort of drama on the one busy day I’ve had at work this week.

Can’t complain with the lucky result. I will be checking the weather forecast for tomorrow now though!

Lope y Fernandez @ 6 for the 15:35 with Sky paying 5 places laying @ 6 on exchange

Go Tony- Cant beat an early/early doors SLYBET scalp- Maybe you should bosh them on a day 4 thread also! Cant be bothered making one myself as its looking an unispiring day tomorrow to me…could be like yesterday…scrappy day-good profs!

Yep- prob best value offer/race atm Andy- aside from SLYBETs extra stuff- Things may improve in at least a few others with nr’s/stronger fav etc. At least the opening is pretty safe from dropping below the runners cut off-so maybe the safest race to scalp some early bird stuff without much risk of the runners dips that we had today nulifying the EPs values. 225 also promising value, but at 13r- ill prob leave that till morning-unless something superb pops up from PP/SLYBET- A good few NR’S would liven up the 440. Soft going predicted again.

Nice one MRM- Easy to forget value elsewhere with these big meets. Hopefully that one pans out better than a very simalar 8r one earlier today at same meeting- which ended up offering next to nothing in value. Looks very simalar slim picking race with the fav having gone up and 3 middling prices behind it- but certainly will be keeping them peeled!
