I bloody hope so. All I've bought for the missus so far is a wooden leg and that's only good as a stocking filler. My child still believes in Santa and unfortunately so does this wife. While gambling can never be encouraged to pay for ones expenses, this weekend's racing at Cheltenham offers the chance to make some big money from smaller stakes. So instead of tackling a card with well thought out careful analysis and avoiding any silly bets I'm diving right in for the big return off the small stakes. No more small profit from disciplined bets its all duck or no dinner time( Don't really gamble the dinner money)
With a set stake of €20 I'm going to try and turn that into a a 3 figure amounts that isn't €2:38. In fact if my Lucky 15 goes right I'll start to understand why it's called Lucky. I must point out I've never picked 4 winners on one docket. Luck doesn't shine on me that much I'm afriad. Usually winners come with hard graft but no more.
So is the races the best way to go? Should I go for a more reliable sporting bet this weekend?
Well there is some sizzlers with Newcastle v Liverpool, Spurs v Chelsea, UK Snooker, Munster v Ospreys and Man Utd v Arsenal.
So I guess the best way to play it is a crazy €5 accum and a €1 Lucky 15 on the horse racing front.
You need a banker to your bet and the racing tomorrow throws out a few that many will be keen to bet heavily in Sam Winner, Master Minded and Time for Rupert. But none of these will make me rich and while I'd normally back at least one of these, there are reasons too why all 3 could get beat. Sam Winner has to give a stone to French Oaks 3rd A Media Luz, Master Minded is not the horse he was despite his win last time out and Time for Rupert although a top animal may lose out to a Chicago Grey who has kept work on the Dundalk all weather with the cold snap not abating.
OK Here we go- The winning lucky 15
1. Celestial Halo 1:20 Cheltenham
2. Somersby 1:55 Cheltenham
3. Great Endeavour 2:30 Cheltenham
4. Cue Card 3:05 Cheltenham
At Current prices if all 4 won, I'd receive €2,824.94.( It could happen)
Celestial Halo is back over hurdles and I've always seen him as a more middle distance hurdler and this race should suit. Somersby was second in the Arkle and while I found it hard to dismiss Gauvain and Kalahari King, He looks the biggest danger to Master Minded who I fancy to get beat. Great Endeavour was a winner at the festival last season but was useless the first race this season. I'm prepared to forgive this run due to his price and his talent. Cue Card is the best and shortest prices of the horses and I can see him beating Menorah as Menorah needs a bigger field and a fast pace to get the best our of him.
Now onto my mad €5 accumulator to try and win some readies if the horses go Sophie Dahl (pear shaped). I'll go a for a mixture of football, rugby and NFL. No problem then. This will return €474.77
Spurs to beat Chelsea
Liverpool to beat Newcastle
Arsenal to beat Man Utd
Munster to beat Ospreys
New York Giants to beat Minnesota Vikings
Clermont to beat Leinster
Philadelphia Eagles to beat Dallas Cowboys
Wish me luck, I think I'll need it. If I don't speak at you again. Enjoy Christmas and bet responsibly at all times.
