if i ever go to the races i like to look round for best price. once in ireland i was backing the fav. and it was shotening all the time. only 1 bookies left with 9/4 i think, rest at 2/1. just about to put it on when i was knocked into middle of next week by about 500 irishmen. bookie changed odds but gave me the 9/4 whilst 500 irishmen went away disappointed

Guaranteed odds is always helpful but if it's 6/1 BOG or 7/1 not guaranteed I'd take the 7's given the sort of stuff I back it generally shortens.

Yes so do i as a general rule. Certainly if they are all quoting same price then i go with BOG for sure.

Quins -4 is far too small tonight.

As for the footy acca, tried to be a bit ambitious:

Charlton v Watford
QPR v Sheff Utd
Sheff Wed v Wolves
Hartlepool v Peterborough

Works out about 43/1

Quins -4 was a very generous start to the weekend

fa cup means a week off football for me

Like you i have several accounts and look around for best odds all the time. I like Hills, Stan James and Bet365 most as they do 'best odds guaranteed' which ive benefited from several times when my bet has drifted badly but still won. Also like Bet365's loyalty free bets that they dish out.

Bet365 have never given me anything and I they are my main bookie. I guess I win more than you

Looking at setting up an account ready for Cheltenham next week but would like to set one up this morning to get on the two amateur Cumbrian clubs.

Who does everyone recommend to go with to give me the best of both worlds? Possibly even a firm that has an offer on at the mo?

Thanks
