[Baz]

Selling my horse today.

[Manc]

That was short-lived.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

At least it didn't need a bullet.

[Ben]

It still might.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Profit on it, Baz?

[Baz]

Profit on it, Baz?

Likely a massive loss. Bought for £18,900 and they’re hoping for £5k, but I reckon we’ll be lucky to even sell her, nevermind get half that.

[Lofty]

Selling to another stable or Iceland?

[Jimmy Floyd]

What happens if you can't sell a horse? Do you take it in turns to go in and muck out the stables until someone takes it off your hands?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Shipped to France for meat.

[niko_cee]

Who would buy a horse, nevermind a shit horse that other chumps have bought and now want to sell?

[SvN]

It's quite something when it turns out Bazbot wasn't the worst financial decision Baz made in the last year.

[Baz]

It's quite something when it turns out Bazbot wasn't the worst financial decision Baz made in the last year.

Collectively I guess, but individually it’s not even close.

34 of us are in the horse syndicate. I’ve only spent £1k on buying, training and caring for her.

Bazbot was an immediate £5k loss, or £8,667.84 if you consider how high it got.

What happens if you can't sell a horse? Do you take it in turns to go in and muck out the stables until someone takes it off your hands?

We'll have a vote and see whether we want to move her up north for a little while and stick at it, or look to just give her away for re-training.

[Lofty]

How did Barrington Sr take it?

[Baz]

How did Barrington Sr take it?

Wasn’t arsed. Not much phases him tbh.

Actually I repaid his £1k and he sent it back, so I sent him £500 and think we left it at that.

Plus then £400 to TTHers who took me up on the repayment promise, so it was more like £6k immediate loss, vs £1k.

Owning a horse for a year > Bazbot

[Baz]

Lot 225 if anyone wants to watch it live.

[-james-]

I watched for about a minute and I think it's given me an aneurysm.

[Baz]

I watched for about a minute and I think it's given me an aneurysm.

Forcing the kids to watch it.

Bargain if you buy one of those listed as 190A-190E cos they’re all in foal so it’s basically BOGOF.

[Lofty]

Making money off horses is a mugs game, I've seen enough of the wife's bint horsey friends try and fail.

[niko_cee]

Can you not take it to that massive gypsy fair that I've always assumed was up that way somewhere? Sure I've watched a doco of some mug buying a horse there.

[Baz]

Not sold

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What happened to the 900 guineas?

[Baz]

What happened to the 900 guineas?

Needed to hit 1k

[Lofty]

Appleby and fuck going there.

[Foe]

Quite the life you lead baz.

You should’ve just created a tik tok channel about garden soccer and made a mint of the youngens.

[John Arne]

Anyone's bookies offering odds for next President of VN?

Mr To Lam, particularly.

[Lofty]

I looked last time and it appears most UK bookies don't offer odds on politics beyond UK/US.

[John Arne]

Ta. I couldn't find anything either.

[Waffdon]

Southampton u21s are currently @1.70 to win in half an hour and they have at least 4 first team starters in the squad. Seems a bit overpriced

They’ve caught on. Dropping rapidly

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Got on at 1.45.

[SvN]

I had £500 on at 1.4 just before kick off, and then stopped and thought "WTF am I doing?" and cancelled it.

[Baz]

I see they won 1-0.

[Lofty]

Arsenal record at Goodison not great but Saka Nketiah 1 SOT each 3/1 boost seems like free money on Sky.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Arsenal DNB.

[Ben]

Colchester, Salford and Yeovil @ 9/1

[Lofty]

Annoyingly meant to do this after the PSG game and forgot, odds have backed in after his last appearance. Spreading a few quid across Balogun anytime, Balogun 2+ goals and Balogun 3+ goals today.

[Waffdon]

£5er on Honeysuckle/Pied Piper forecast in the 3.10 at DRF @ 45s

[Offshore Toon]

I'll join for that.

[Manc]

Inter available at even money. Lump on.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Card betting

[Lofty]

Decent return that.

[Don]

Inter available at even money. Lump on.

Looks tasty.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

25p on the trixies too.

[Lofty]

You inspired me to back Brereton Diaz and McClean on one tonight at 16s with my £5 free bet. Definitely an interesting market you have discovered here.

[Lofty]

Tonight I am thinking of Poveda and Helik in the Blackpool Huddersfield fixture and Bradaric and Danilo in the Juve match. All of them picked up two cards in the last five games.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bradaric and Danilo are on my radar too.

Poveda benched.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

SEETHING at Fleetwood and Sheffield Wednesday.

[Baz]

Horse sold for £500 to a random girl who our trainer knew. Happy retirement, Bally.

[niko_cee]

Cheval burgers all round!

[Jimmy Floyd]

Dogs cost about four times that, and you can't even ride a dog.
