If anyone wants a tip for Cheltenham then send me a message. You can put what you like on but must have £2 for me also. The current odds are 12/1.

I don't play on teh horses, never have and hopefully never will, but I'm intregued why a tip would be considered important ernough info to require a PM? just trying to understand the etiquette!

I would imagine the same scenario applies to an emptier/percentage manipulator etc.

Loose lips cause rechips.

If the info is too widespread then the price will fall.

surely anyone giving the tip has already bet while the odds are good though?

True, but would like the price to hold for a while yet.

post it near to the start so we can see how you do; and maybe laugh and point

Laugh all you like, Mr Oak, but I topped the naps table here with six winners out of eight last year and napped the top world cup goalscorer at 25/1.

hmm if you've given out the owners name and the odds you've pretty much given it away haven't you. Don't like the idea of having £2 pounds on for you either, you're just getting a free bet with nothing to lose. Plus I'd want some pretty strong assurances that the horse is definitely going to run, theres nothing quite like throwing your money away on a horse that gets withdrawn because of the ground or whatever.

Thats not to say I definitely won't have a dabble though

Wouldnt ANY owner back theres to win if you asked them?

er, not always. The fact that he was sitting with Nicky Henderson, who told him where the horse would run, was a good indication and will probably get Mick Fitzgerald to ride was good enough for me.
