Was anyone else on this treble back in August?

I'll be throwing a hookers & blow celebration party in Monaco for us all to pat ourselves on the back. Just ping me a photo of your betting slip and I'll share the address.

Unfortunately, I did it with paddypower and only got 8/1.

That's the funniest post this thread has ever seen I'd say.

*IRL I split my stakes, half with a better price, but less places and vice versa. If he does come in 6th or 7th, I still make a small profit, and there's nothing at all wrong with that. Grind it out.........

Question: do place terms in shops mimic the online ones for a given firm, particularly where extra places are concerned?

I'm that out of touch with shop betting.

Paddy usually have better terms online than in shop. If he's giving 6 places online, it'll probably be 5 in shop, giving 5 online, 4 in shop etc. But then he also has some shop specials too. This morning I backed Git maker to finish in the top 6 in the Scottish national at 2.88. He was being laid at 2.28 this morning, now 2.5, but that's more than likely being pushed out by traders (wouldn't bother for ten quid, but to each his own). Paddy do dbl odds one winner lucky 15/31 in shop, but not online (although I'm not sure if that changes by customer. Some fellas get €25 free bets, I get €1. Which I've made about 40 quid off doing random things last 4 or 5 :LOL!: )

Could have backed Foden @ Evens for a SOT, but if Pep drops him, then paddy ain't the voiding type, so I didn't bother.

Boyles are generally the same place terms online and in shop AFAIK (haven't noticed anything out of line anyway). But don't bet on the machines, as the margins are huge. I only noticed this when I forgot to bring some cash one morning. Horse I wanted to back was 4/1 on the screen, 7/2 on the machine. Boyles do still give double the odds one winner lucky15/31 etc in shop and online. Online though you get BOG, which you don't get in shop.

I very rarely go into a Ladbrokes shop so I wouldn't know.

Oh yeah, Anthony KAminskas showed a screenshot of paddy offering Jose Maria at 200/1 for the US Masters last year. He was 2000/1 elsewhere.

Paddy is still the best for extra places with 365 though. I did most of my EW bets with him today.

Damn, thought he was going to go on and win there for a few seconds, but faded again to take 3rd.

Noticed I never put a price on it just now, but was 19.0 with Sky when I put it up.
