Quadpot SpecQrapular

I don't know why I like doing quadpots. The poor man's placepot and, thanks to my enviable ability to make a mockery of easy activities, I can't even seem to win with them, even with a stupid amount of perms.

So, any strategy, perming etc. is now out the window. One selection a race. £2 the stake. Every race I can be bothered getting my fat arse into the bookies on time for. It's going here (couldn't find the riches to rags forum, where I usually post.)

Aintree: 1 Shavansky; 1 Modicum; 2 Sleeping Night; 2 Wizards Dust.

Hamilton: 3 Captain Webb; 2 Hunting Country; 1 Turbo Linn; 3 Sandwith

Newcastle: 1 Woddfall Treasure; 3 Mr Crystal; 6 Il Castagno; 13 Best Suited

Thanks Mickey. Potentially.

Out in the first at Aintree although the winner did begin with an 'S', as did my selection, so although the Tote gets my money, its really a moral victory to me.

Re: Quadpot SpecQrapular

Boo. Hiss. etc. 1k dividend at Aintree and I couldn't even get that. Pathetic.

Some open racing this art'noon, which should create some good honest big dividends. Have a sneaking suspicison that FAV ttc will bag a divvy somewhere or two, so of course I don't go and do that. Bets were struck fairly early this morning in order to further minimize my chances. Numbers only as I can't be arsed typing the names out

Bangorz: 8, 9, 2, 2
Newberries: 4, 12, 2, 9
Newsupermarket: 2, 4, 6, 2

Re: Quadpot SpecQrapular

Is it just luck that makes me start off with 2 losers last night yet actually manage to get progressively worse, or is there a skill to it?

Re: Quadpot SpecQrapular

Well of course the director made off with the cameramen last night, giving me all this "0 wins from 12 makes poor viewing Jomo. We're going to cover Esther Ranzen's gall stone removal."

"If you win somthing though," he pipes up. "Let us know and we'll come right back. In the meantime we're leaving you with Mark Bright, who'll provide updates after every 45."

So what goes and happens? As soon as the lights are off me and on Esther, I go and pick up the quadpot (and placepot for that matter) at Baff this afternoon. Wasn't captured on film of course.

So now the cameras are back. Kiss of death is back from Ranzen's stones and looking over my shoulder once again.

Re: Quadpot SpecQrapular

Don't give up. That is the rags to riches motto. Or is it, 'I'm going to commit suicide or die trying'.
