    If anyone's interested in horse racing, do you fancy doing a bit of a competition? Nothing at stake though, just a bit of fun? Was thinking if you pick a horse from each race and so many points for a win, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th? Double the points for your NAP? Just an idea I thought I'd put across.....

    1st - 10pts
    2nd - 8pts
    3rd - 6pts
    4th - 4pts
    5th - 2pts

    My selections:

    Ritual 2-00
    Zumbi 2-30
    Sea Moon 3-05
    Midday 3-40 NAP
    West Leake Hare 4-15
    Ithoughtitwasover 4-50

    Al Khan 2-30
    Seville 3-05 NAP
    Twice over 3-40
    Es Que love 4-15
    Eagles Peak 4-50

    Yeah, not goin' with as much money as I'd hoped though, f'd meself up at the weekend by losing hundreds on the online betting.... So I shut my account and I'm having to stick to patents this week until Saturday and then fiver a race on Saturday! Would advise anyone not to use online gambling sites, it's too easy to keep putting money into the accounts.

    It was just a one off this weekend mate, never usually gone that far, but a mixture of boredom and online sites is not good! I had to get myself banned from the website for five years. I can still go on to check odds etc, just not allowed to bet on them.

    I could imagine how you could spend alot on online bookies, coz your not physically handing over money, some people actually make a great living out of gambling dont they, tax free lol

    I've had similar problems in the past Andy. I have set myself a maximum deposit limit per day, so i can't lose too much in one day,

    I'd love to BE a bookie, sounds like a great job, a modern-day Highwayman haha. Yeah, the gambling sites are far too accessible if you've got an account, dead easy to keep depositing money. I find it better going into the shop because it's easier to walk out with your money intact.

    I've seen on some sites that you can set a limit, but the William Hill website doesn't seem to offer that.

    Await The Dawn should be interesting, think I heard earlier it's never ran in Grade One company before and yet it's odds-on today?? If I understood how 'laying' works, I would be laying that one.
