Looking for Value. Clued-in, restrained sports betting from the recreational player's perspective

@SteepleTimes Will huitrerie also reopen?

@robert_stagg Many things might rightly inhibit close reading ... a sense the style lends itself to performances of the reader's subjectivity, as much as to textual elucidation ...

... a sense authors effect their designs over a longer span than the passages reviewed by close readings ...

@itvracing @PTownend @WillieMullinsNH A very enjoyable programme--thank you.

All the presenters (for their own personalities) struck the right balance between authoritative and approachable, with Mulrennan natural in the role and Chamberlin and Walsh esp. on top of their game

[James @RowleyBushes]

@CaanBerryTrader @RacingPost @leemottershead It's time the Post led a campaign for the 'right to bet' for small, skill-based, non-insider winners.

They should lobby for the reintroduction of PW box prices and an 'allowance' of about £500 of bets per bettor each major raceday

@stevenctilley @StarSports_Bet The Gambling Commission should outlaw KYC at withdrawal. If you can bet, you should be able to withdraw

[James @RowleyBushes]

@NJHag @kevinblake2011 The answer is an elite British programme with prize money comparable to Irish races. The sport is doing something wrong if ambitious, deep-pockets UK-based owners want horses with Mullins

[James @RowleyBushes]

@MichaelGreaney3 @ItsRossBrierley No--it would be perverse e.g. to exclude novices from the Ultima. The old four-miler needn't be an additional novice staying chase.

[James @RowleyBushes]

@ItsRossBrierley I would add the Albert Bartlett and the Boodles.

There's no need for every 'championship' race to be at Cheltenham. Why shouldn't the Melling at Aintree be more prestigious than the Ryanair or the Punchestown bumper more so than the Festival renewal?

@hugorifkind Are you saying there's been a change in people's attitudes and behaviour towards you as a Jew?

[James @RowleyBushes]

@ChrisPoole___ Think there are embarrassment issues for BBC w/ having a racing winner given the tone or just absence of their coverage. Racing has become a bit like fishing or pigeon-racing for them

[James @RowleyBushes]

@chrisgambler247 @StarSports_Bet @BenStarSports Don't understand the 0-0. Is that a Correct Score bet or are you backing England--in the rugby?

[James @RowleyBushes]

Who's da burglar?

'Fred's pushes are industry top price'

Burglar Push Price 6/1
Exchange price 8/1+

Show your mettle and go 8/1!

[James @RowleyBushes]

@CaanBerryTrader @chrisgambler247 A horse can be the wrong price without having moved in the market. The Harrington horse in the Coventry would be double figs. if ridden by a young Irish jockey

It's around 8-1 BF and 9-2 industry

[James @RowleyBushes]

@RowleyfileRRR Your prices on the US horse, Hannon horse and the Scott Yarmouth wnr (the ones I've nibbled at) are almost exactly mine ... though I haven't used a measure of time in the case of the US raider.

If RT is a Fred push, my placers are all over it and I win irrespective of time

[James @RowleyBushes]

@CaanBerryTrader ... These are freely available tips on ATR, so there's a possibility a proofreader, publisher or other intermediary is getting the price, instead of Hugh Taylor's followers

[James @RowleyBushes]

@CaanBerryTrader No tipster who's profitable at advised prices will (or should) be profitable at SP. An efficient market will cut the price of their selections, on average, by the amount they are profitable

The issue of the lag between the stated and actual published price is different... (1/2)

[James @RowleyBushes]

@PlusEVAnalytics @KirkEvans0 'The system' supposes bookmakers i.e. commercial firms trying to make a profit. There are other ways to organise betting.

Sports betting is more of an ecology or ecological system

[James @RowleyBushes]

Contrary to indications from pedigree, Mawj looks 10lbs better as a miler than a sprinter.

Bit of a flashback to 23 years ago when the talk was of whether fillies could win the 1,000 w/out spending the winter in Dubai

@IBAS_UK What is the future for @IBAS_UK when racing has an ombudsman?
