Well I made someone happy today…lol.. when my 100-1 shot on the Bournmouth match did not come off but it was not a disaster with 3 goals 6 cards and 7 corners plus an end to end game which could have gone either way. However maybe I should in future be a little less optimistic when trying these bets out but in my defense as stated when I placed the bet the idea was to show the potential of the bet and to have some fun along the way.
As for the more serious side of the idea the 100-1 shot Strong Current that was taken at 40-1 for 7 places using ‘The Each way Extra Market’ got placed for a small return of 7 points and after taking out the Bournmouth bet out leaves us with a small profit on the day which will help to start the thread off.16/10/2018 at 10:19 AM #503MikeKeymasterI have a couple of interesting shouts for the 100-1 thread today both running at Punchestown the first is called Rince Deireanach who runs in the 2.05 he is available at 33-1 betting without Elysian Plains and Smiling Eliza or as a safer option 22-1 for 8 places.
The second selection is called Allora Yeats and runs in the 3.10 is available at 28-1 betting without My Sister Sarah or once again the safer option of 25-1 for 5 places. Although for the purpose of the thread we have been using the each way extra place market and will continue to do so there is another intersting bet which is using the betting without the favourite/s option but also considering a cheeky each way double which could be also be a money spinner if you can get one home.16/10/2018 at 7:17 PM #504MikeKeymasterWell another profit on the day with Allora Yeats not only getting the desired place but also getting third place which now means that if not only had done the selections as highlighted would you have made a profit but also if you had backed the selections as normal each way bets you would still be well ahead of the game.
As it stands we are still over 10 points up which means we can have a punt at the football tonight and look for one of those face value 100-1 shots and I will go in the France Germany game with Paul Pogba to be booked + most goals second half + more than three corners second half (both teams combined) and France to win from behind.Update: France have come from behind there have been more goals in the second half than the first and there have been more than three corners in the second half. Unfortunately the ref was a tad leniant on Pogba (alright I am biased) but it was a close call.

17/10/2018 at 4:43 PM #508RobmullParticipantHi Mike,
Congratulations, you have certainly hit a rich vein of form with your outsiders in the Extra Place market with Bet365.
Long may this continue, albeit I feel that I must warn you that the Bookmaker in question is notoriously quick at restricting/closing down winning punters, especially when regular profits are being made through one of their special markets.
Not only have I fallen foul of their risk adverse strategy to get rid of successful punters, but a number of my friends and family have also been heavily restricted and/or closed down despite only making modest profits.
Anyway, I hope you can keep below the radar.
All the best.
Rob.

Thanks for that it was always going to be tricky as there can be upward of twenty 100-1 shots a day and my biggest problem is that I get overconfident. Hence with Diamond Kut picking up another nice little profit I am putting up a 230-1 double tomorrow involving Crimson Chief 10-1 in the 1.35 at Tramore and Ballon Onabudget 20-1 in the 4.45 at the same meeting.
The idea of using two horses is cheating to a degree but these are put up as an each way double so could bring that elusive (near impossible) 100 point + return but has the possibility of bringing home a return if both get placed.
Update: Now I will confess this is becoming frustrating Crimson Chief was beaten by a head and with Ballon Onabudget winning relatively easily the 230-1 bet was a whisker away.
In theory I should be happy as the bet produced a cracking 13 point profit for the thread and takes us into a very healthy profit of over 25 points…but…lol.- This reply was modified 5 years, 5 months ago by Mike.

Despite my best protests unfortunately although I thought had finally managed the 100-1 return the dreaded rule4 on a late non runner shattered the dream.
The results from the Wexford five read as follows with there revised prices when the bet was placed were as follows:
1.55 Cash Me Outside (9-1) 7-1 Placed
3.40 Trenchtown Rock (14-1) 12-1 Won
4.15 Presenting Princess 14-1
5.20 Churchtown Glen (10-1) 9-1 Placed
5.50 Miss Cognac (10-1) 14-1 Placed
These were top and tailed to make five each way fourfolds and would have made a return of 102.82 obviously less the 8 points (on the losing fourfolds) which would have made a return of +94.82 points but I would have settled for that. π
Unfortunately despite my protestations to the old enemy over the timing of the last non runner the actual profit after the rule 4 and the losing fourfolds only came to +77.96
points.
To say I am gutted is an understatement but such is life. This leaves me just the Punchestown festival to get the +100 points win home. π- This reply was modified 4 years, 11 months ago by Mike.

In answer to an e-mail query as to why I run threads such as this as looking for a 100-1 shot “as it is all but impossible and surely cheapens the site” I would disagree and politely point out that this thread has made a profit in both the first part (single selections) and the second part (multiple selections). Now these may not have been 100-1 returns but the possibility is always there. π
Now just to prove the point here are two links to threads that I used to run when posting on OLBG as mc1000 a few years ago before starting this site off.
https://www.olbg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=61739&start=12 this one shows that Funny Oyster was available and given as an upgraded tip at 100-1 betting without Bastien. Now as Bastien won the race and Funny Oyster was second this means that Funny Oyster was a 100-1 winner.

This one Drummullagh Rocky was put up as you can see at 66-1 but drifted out to 100-1 and duly won the race and with BOG (Bets Odds Guaranteed) paid out at 100-1.
Now I am not suggesting that these come around every day but as in both of the above threads and this one all I can say is that they all turned a profit and there is nothing in the world quite like tipping one up (even if the losing streaks can be embarrassing).
I have also mentioned a few times this is not a tipping site but merely a place I can put my opinions or ideas down and hopefully get a few like minded people together to join in. πRegards Mike
(I will attempt to answer all e-mail queries but please follow the site rules and although I will not post them without your permission please keep them polite. This is a free site and if you have lost money on a selection posted on here I feel your pain..but it happens).04/03/2021 at 10:47 AM #6199MikeKeymasterHi
We will try Blue Beirut today in the 12.30 at Ludlow this one is currently priced up at 250-1 but we will take the 40-1 on offer for 8 places with bet365.04/03/2021 at 8:09 PM #6207MikeKeymasterHi
Blue Beirut did us proud today and actually finished fourth which was available at 75-1 but we only took a punt at 40-1 for 8 places so will have to settle for a +7 point profit on the day.
However I would gladly have settled for that at the start of the day and we will hope to build on that tomorrow with The Brimming Water who goes in the 3.50 at Fairyhouse tomorrow.
This one is currently available at 150-1 so we should get a decent price in the each way extra markets late tomorrow morning.05/03/2021 at 11:12 AM #6210MikeKeymasterHi
The Brimming Water is available at 55-1 for 7 places and although after yesterday I am tempted to go for the bigger prices we will stick with that as it looks generous enough.
Trying My Best 125-1 is running in the 4.20 and is showing at 30-1 for 7 places but as he let us down last time we will be cautious here. However this a shrewd trainer so if nothing else we will for future reference watch the race even if we let this race go.05/03/2021 at 5:45 PM #6211JoeHParticipantCracking bet that Mike, I had it 150/1 π° π°π°
05/03/2021 at 8:16 PM #6216GeeSportParticipantHi Mike
Nice winner today anymore where they came from. ?05/03/2021 at 8:30 PM #6217MgameParticipantThanks for todayβs tip Mike!
05/03/2021 at 8:42 PM #6218MikeKeymasterHi GeeSport
Unfortunately you don’t get many of those but you never know. π
The Brimming Water won at an SP of 80-1 and was advised at 150-1 which is probably as good as it will ever get. πΒ However I am only really looking to advise each way extra or betting without the favourite/s options for the site to keep a constant profit coming in. -
