    iff the price goes down too much will end up with a quarter of plant pot :D
    There is a lot more races at the dogs around 16 and i lost the other week when i went, I prefer horse-racing iff you can pick one at a good price.
    My friend just lost out saturday she had five winners her last one black beauty let her down iff it had won she stood to pick up �£167,000 hows that for bad luck

    If i was your friend i would have had trouble sleeping..I knew a man once that used to put 10p plus his penny tax..and do an accumulator and he won about Ã?£300 i dont think the bookies would accept 1p bets now.. [​IMG] We are having a meal at the dogs with husbands work mates i prefer horse racing too..its just a night out really..Those lucky 15 bets are reasonably good as you stand the chance of getting your money back..I like the big race meetings best..Their is a horse racing track here in wolverhampton all weather its okay for a night or day out..

    hi wildflower, iff i was her id feel like slashing my wrists, losing that amount for one last horse she was waiting for, I watched the race as i fancied black beauty myself and it was sweating up and really did nothing managed to come fourth. Hope you enjoy the dog racing have a great night when you go. [​IMG] :rolleyes:

    :mad: Unlucky Rosa she was there but it seems she came just to late.Still theres always the lucky 15 on Saturday.
    I know a little bit about horseracing as I live in Newmarket and worked for one of the trainers there( maintenance)not jockey.
    It is a fascinating game,but it does help to be in the know.......... ;)
