Gruff 2,790 Report post Posted August 22, 2019 Got the bully from Capalaba last Sunday a dog called Barbaresco was a past the post cert, first starter from Box 7 with the fav yeah what drawn 1 .... now If I know this how many others ? Before the race Barb was $2.80 with yeah what at $2, commentary team was saying solid late money for the third fav and calling yeah what a ‘good thing’ with the draw..... not a mention of the 7 and I knew of one punter at least ,with four figure bets ? As it turned out the Fav in one didn’t want to be there and ended up on the other side outside the speedy winner Barbaresco .....are these people ‘working ‘ for the betting institutions,? Talk about being lead up the garden path Watch this pooch, been running time . My Two Cents 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lad27 404 Report post Posted August 23, 2019 Go with ya gut, very rarely I have put my bet on and being swayed to their thoughts. You right though, the mug punter at home with not alot of knowledge will chuck a $5 or more on the commentators thoughts. There is one really good greyhound commentator that does the catching pen, he is on either wed or thurs nights on sky. Very honest and very good.

The only issue is your gut isn’t 100%, ... some say your gut is the 2nd brain ... considering what the brain is made up of why not ? If your going on what you perceive Straight sets must go close tomorrow but who knows, maybe your gut tells you otherwise regardless of what you think you ‘know’ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lad27 404 Report post Posted August 24, 2019 Gut did me good last Sunday with a $14.50 winner, only thing it didn't tell me was I should have taken fixed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Two Cents 43 Report post Posted August 26, 2019 I gave up punting on horses when the Tab started announcing during lead up time that "this horse has taken a $5k bet at 2.80 and another $3k bet at 2.70" etc etc blah blah bollocks! There's no way the tab would take bets of that amount and the horse starts still paying $2.70! Furthermore I did not see even one of these horse's win! Utter bollocks and misleading info and backed by the fact we could never ascertain if these bets were actually placed.
