    All races are off from Rosehill and now at Randwick hence Canasta was scratched but it’s still actually running.

    Righto then ... makes sense now

    I'd already put Canasta into a 2/3 parlay but the Canasta legs were refunded.  I ended up cashing out the multis so will have to start all over again!

    Sportsbet won’t allow me to cash out the multi, maybe cos it was just out two horses? Anyway, means it really becomes a $5ew bet ?

    Laddies keep about 10% but I like my multi's to be on my terms so I'll take that small hit. 

    Trouble is that Lunar has come into 2.40 for the place (was 3.20) ... so I'll find another along with Canasta to get the odds up.  An all-up place bet might salute

    There's plenty of value in Melbourne & Morphettville though.  Waiting on Gator's Randwick tips but there's 3 or 4 shorties so the multi's up there might be the go

    By the way, www.skyracing.com.au has all the big tipsters picks from about 9am tomorrow

    Lunar didn’t quite get the job done. Canasta once again pipped over the last 50 meters. 
    Away game came very late and stole the win.

    Got a couple of late tips. 
    Sunshine Coast race 6 number 1 Tumbler Ridge each way

    and

    Murray Bridge Race 7. No 1,  Just Folk

    It was at $9 when he got on it, said it was $6 and I just checked and it’s already into $4. I’m going to hope it drifts back out again.

    Nice one

    I had it going in 2 doubles and missed on both!  Still, that's my strategy on these best bets

    Get one up and it pays for itself for close on 6 months.  And the small outlay doesn't hit the pocket

    Just missed the trifecta in the last by a nostril. But otherwise a small profit which I’ll always take.

    Reckon I'll start using our 2 tips with 1 other to form a 2/3 parlay bet

    I picked up another 3 doubles using the 2/3 parlay method in the UK (over the last 2 nights) to end up in front for the weekend.  All 3 of the other picks all ran 2nd so I could have been swimming in it!

    What’s the parlay method?

    3 races with 3 set picks in each race

    You then take the 3 doubles within the 3 picks (A & B, A & C along with B & C) as well as the treble (A, B & C)

    Any 2 get up and you get 1 x Double ... if all 3 salute then you win the Treble & 3 x Doubles

    So 4 bets in all ... I usually split up $25 or $30 in the total outlay (often 8, 8, 7 & 7)

    But I carefully pick out the 3 races, not just any old race.  So our best bets can be used in that fashion.  A 2nd chance if you like

    If you outlay a total of $30 and if one of the doubles gets up at $8 @ $3 x $4 ($12) then you'll get back $96 (well in front!)

    If all 3 salute it's happy days!

    Seems slightly confusing, but I’ll try and figure it out ?

    A better way to describe it is you use any of the 3 picks in any sort of multi ... but not as single win bets.  Thus, it gets called a 2/3 parlay

    And there are a maximum of 4 multi combinations using the 3 picks

    But I generally only use races where I don't want to have a win bet because the thing I like is too short in the market and my outlay is too big for a not big enough return

    $3 or $4 chances as a general rule

    I see J.Kah need three winners this week to get the most wins. I hope she can do it.

    Now down to one for the champion jockey (Jamie Kah) ... on a number of chances tomorrow so much so that I've taken out a one-out Jamie double!

    Quietly confident too!  The best bit when doing the form is finding a horse that you like and then seeing that J Kah is on board.

    Some of the best Jockeys ride well into their 40's but Jamie is still only a 25yo

    In Melbourne it's Kah, Oliver & Williams whilst in Sydney it's McDonald,  Bowman, Berry & McEvoy.  Elite company

    I’ll have to have a look, hadn’t checked as zip try and keep my punting to the weekend. 
    She is a great jockey and yeah so young to be going so well. I remember Oliver was good when young too but this is next level.

    Just had a look, she is on a lot of good chances early on.

    No winners for Jamie today! 

    Nevertheless, Saturday awaits where she sits on no fewer than 6 favourites.  Gotta be at least 1 winner there but perhaps 3 or 4

    Dipped out on the Jamie double but managed to snag a place double at decent odds.  Back to Saturday's only though ... midweek racing is a raffle!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
