2 outsiders that were given pretty decent reasons by Texters to ATR why they may be good bets today.


2.00 Nottingham Integria (33/1 Sportingbet, 28/1 Blue Square) 14/1 with Ladbrokes



7.00 Towcester Grave Doubts (40/1 Stan James)

Well need something to take my mind off the night of tension that will be the Greyhound Derby Quarter Finals

How did the 2.00 one get on?

I'm pretty new to this But regarding the 7.00 at Towcester, if I fancied a flutter, is it better doing each way?

As I said I'm clueless

No good finished 6th or 7th...winner was well clear and the rest finished in a heap.


I do not bet e/w myself but most people would do on a 40/1 shot.

It's personal choice some people are happy to pick up something rather than nothing for a near miss, others can take that on the chin and know when one of their selections win they are getting the maximum return by having the full amount to win.

7 1 nk Integria 9-3 Luke Morris J M P Eustace 3 25/1
prominent, one pace over 1f out opened 40/1

It finished ahead of the horse backed in from 25/1 to favourite!!!!!!





Ok 7th won't get you any return but it was only a bit of timewasting before the bigger fish to fry tonight

Probably a bit deep for this thread but I was wondering about why people gamble, and whether there is money in it.

I've always enjoyed a flutter, for the excitement of it, I havn't bet big or particularly won big, and whilst winning money is great it's hasn't really been the reason why I gamble.

However, I posted on here a couple of weeks ago that I had won £150 on an accy. Rather than spend the money I decided to keep it to one side as a "gambling fund," and that all of my stakes would come out of that. Now the last couple of days have been bad ones but I've still made consistent profit over the two weeks and that total now stands at £820. Some of it has been won on horses, rugby and football. But mostly it has been won on roulette.

On Sunday however I had over £1000, which made me think. Is it just a blip and will I soon continue to win, or does it prove the fact that whilst you may win at first, the bookie always wins eventually? Can you win as long as you bet smart and are disciplined?

So, why do people on here gamble, and do you make money from it?
