it means that a lot of punters back the jockey no matter what the horse and therefore u can probably knock a couple of points off the price due to that. so if say tom scudamore would have been riding the horse u may have got about 6/4 or even the 2/1 this morning

im also guilty of this with jockey ruby walsh. if he was on a 3 legged donkey id probably still back him

120 lines. personally i've never liked accumulators. sometimes i'll do a heinz (57) with 6, but a 4 selections yankee (11) is normally my biggest bet.

im glad super league is back, football is too hard to predict

had hull kr (+12) and quins (+4) today
would have gone for wakey too but its less enjoyable watching when you bet against your own team
