Which bookie laid that bet CM ??

That's what I like to know as well, here in durbz they scared to lay us 5horses to win 30k

BETTING WORLD....What makes it even worse I "know" this punter, who is a well known in racing, and still did nothing for myself.......He had a word with me as he knows me by sight and we have had a few pleasantries over the years.He is a cash customer nowdays so I wonder if this was all his ???.

The horse started 4/1 , bettingworld must have balanced the books lakka!

I honestly find it hard to believe a bet like that was laid and no shortening in the betting .

Isle of dogs shortened from 22/10 to 14/10(drifted 16/10 at off).........dont know why ibuscus went from 22/10 to 4/1....(maybe because flush of funds went from 10/1 to 3/1....???).

CM maybe I am wrong but if a bet is laid to win 200k and a claim limit is 25k then 22/10 to 14/10 is not significant enough .

Thandolwami must be the most overrated piece of shit to run on this planet ... yes I'm talking from the pocket:X

That Thandolwami could not win this race tonight with Felix up, a great draw and the weights stacked in his favour says to me that he will find it hard to win again.

Everything was in hi favour tonight and he still could not win..........

Punter, claiming horses is for show. Bookmakers trade 100's of thousands of rands on the phones between one another. That's how a horse really shortens. Unless an owner or a big punter wants to claim a horse beforehand, bookmakers will wait for race time to make their books.

you hit the nail on the head tommy about the claiming and shortening of horses...PLEASE FELLOW PUNTERS DO NOT READ MUCH INTO ANTEPOST CLAIMS AS THE AMOUNT CLAIMED IS OF VERY VERY VERY LITTLE SIGNIFICANCE IN FACT ITS A FCUKING DISGRACE WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THE DECIMINATION OF BETTING MOVES TO THE PUBLIC

I prefer to study the card before looking at any odds.... Less chance of my small brain being influenced by betting moves....
