MADMAC's GET ON...

Well backing the outsiders in the football is not working - Doh! After all the build up for last nights game it was very poor viewing, Portugal played like they were defending a 1-0 lead not chasing one. As for yesterdays nags, it was looking good when the first two went in, but unfortunately the last two were poor.

Oh well it's time to get back on the horse again literally, so here are today's:

16.00 @ Catterick - Avitus 7/1
17.10 @ Worcester - Sarahs Gift 9/2
20.50 @ Kempton - Highland Legacy 7/1
20.40 @ Chepstow - Parc Des Princes 11/4
21.10 @ Chepstow - Carter 7/2

I've had a 50p Canadian laying out just over 2.5pts

GL Punters!!!

I'm pretending yesterdays Chile bet was a dream or in the words of Shaggy ' It wasn't me'. Today I have again gone for the outsiders and have Japan @ 11/4 and Portugal @ 3/1, I've also had the double @ 15/1 - 1pt on each.

Todays horses are as follows:

15.15 @ Hamilton - Killing Moon 2/1
15.45 @ Hamilton - Gritstone 5/4
16.00 @ Brighton - Mini Max 9/2
16.30 @ Brighton - Dualagi 5/2

Trebles and acca to a £1 for another single point outlay.

GL Punters!!!

Oh Well, Never mind....

Apparently David Blaine is said to be well pissed off that his record of doing fuck all in a box for 42 days has been broken by Wayne Rooney! Also the Three Lions badge is set to change to the Three Tampons after the worst fucking period ever in English football history!

I played the £50 rebuy last night at the G-Casino in Sheffield, thinking I could drown my sorrows with a wedge of cold hard cash on the hip. However, it was not to be when, ever popular pro Barry Neville re-shoved my early raise. Of course I snap called with my Kowboys and was delighted to see him flip over the Ladies, it all still looked good on the 9 high flop nut of course the Q hits the turn - That's how I roll baby!!!

No horse tips todays it all looks very dull, but I have had a cheeky 1pt win on Chile to beat Brazil tonight at 11/2. I believe they have a chance if they can keep 11 men on the pitch for long enough and it's a big price in a 2 horse race - COME ON CHILE'

MADMAC's GET ON...

Two seconds again yesterday, a nose and a length and a half, out of the 3 tips, it's so annoying hitting the crossbar all the time.

Another one of the big guns falls in the World Cup with the Italians going out bottom of the group - WOW!

I've had a bet on the football today and I've gone with a pony on the draw in the Brazil v Portugal encounter @ 2/1. My thinking is that Portugal and Brazil will both be content with their places in the next round and won't be risking any injuries, also by finishing 2nd Portugal could well avoid Spain in round 2.

My horse that will finish 2nd today is as follows:

19.25 @ Newcastle - The Nifty Fox 7/1

GL Punters!!!

Obviously my plan yesterday worked a treat. Having not won a football bet since 1990, me backing Slovenia for a win/draw guaranteed an England win. I think we can give the German's a game, we always play better against better teams. BRING ON THE TRUMPETS!!!

I played the £20 rebuy at naps in Sheffield last night to no avail, finishing 20th of 61, after being card dead most of the time I finally shoved my short stack with QT suited from late only to run into AQ in the blinds.

I've just had a cheeky 1/2pt trixie today on the following:

14.00 @ Goodwood - Santefisio 9/4
16.40 @ Warwick - Magic Millie 4/1
21.00 @ Hamilton - Hazelrigg 3/1

I'm not overconfident with any of them so don't bother if you can't be arsed.

HOT Video shame about the tune.

MADMAC's GET ON...

Choc Thornton was looking good yesterday in the 20.40 2 fences from home, but it all went pear shaped when Evan Williams came out of the pack and romped on like a majestic stag.

Just a 1pt e/w for you today in the 2.30 @ Carlisle 'Bonnie Prince Blue'

I've also had 1pt on both the win and the draw for Slovenia. Unpatriotic I know but at least I win a bit if the unthinkable happens.

COME ON ENGLAND!!!

MADMAC's GET ON...

If the object of the exercise was to name the horse that was going to come 2nd, I would be a millionaire by now. Both 2nd's yesterday by no more than 1.5 lengths between them both.

I don't really like anything on any of the cards today, but if you put a gun to my head and said you must have a bet, my tenner would go on 'Now listen to me' in the 20.40 @ Newton Abbot - So it has - LOL!!!

GL Punters.

MADMAC's GET ON...

I had quite a good Ascot last week, mainly due to backing the Gold Cup winner @ 20's LOL, a lump on Rainbow Peak as tipped as my (nap) and a nice bet on Treadwell @ 14's. With regards to Treadwell on Friday, it's not often you go through a card at a big meet and only like one horse in a field of 20+ runners, but Treadwell was the only thing I could fancy in that race :o)

I played a £50 rebuy at G-Casino Sheffield last night, which is a comp. they have stolen from Napoleons, but last night they nailed it by guaranteeing at 11k with 45 runners. They needn't have panicked as word got round and 79 runners produced a prize pool of £11,600, to which the casino added another £1k, meaning a 1st place prize of £4k - awesome!!! Unfortunately I went out 25th after being short-stacked and pretty much card dead. I predict however that this tourney will only get bigger and better, as they are guaranteeing it at £11k for the next 8 weeks leading up to the festival in July. Word will get round and I think it may even touch 100 runners next week.

On to today's nags and it's a bit boring as to be expected after Ascot but I like these two at chepstow:

18.50 Sermons Mount 7/1
20.20 Born to Excel 5/4

I've lumped on Born to Excel as I think it's a steering job and included the other for a cheeky 18/1 double.

GL Punters!!!

Sorry it's late today but it was an intense study for Ascot today, as usual we start with the pisspot:

19. Radharcnafarraige 2.30
9. Hortensia 2.30

3. Bullet Train 3.05

1. Anna Salai 3.50
13. Tabassum 3.50

6. Rainbow Peak 4.25

3. Corsica 5.00
2. Chink of Light 5.00

29. Treadwell 5.35

8 Lines @ £1 = £8 stake, but you can if you like add in Monterosso in the 3.05 to make it 16 lines, as it will deffo get a place.

Rainbow Peak is my nap of the day and should be a steering job. I also like Puff in the 3.50 as an e/w punt. You could if you like make up a big priced e/w treble with Hortensia, Puff & Treadwell.

GL Punters !!!

Let's look at what you could of won....

Go on Jim kick em' while they are down!

Made a fatal error yesterday at Ascot, I went through all the races and came up with a 1st choice and a 2nd string. I then decided to put my first choices in the pisspot and all my 2nd strings in an amazing multiple. Unfortunately most of my winners were from the 1st choices which were in the pisspot - Doh!

I did however start backing them as singles from Hibaayeb in the 3.05, so I still managed to pull four winners out of six races, which is amazing at a big meeting.

Had I stuck to putting my 1st choices in the multiple, including Right of Passage, the 4-timer alone would have returned 4031/1 - arrrrggghhhhh!!!

Rite of Passage was my big pull of the day, which won @ 20's, I had been raving to my mate about this horse all morning and couldn't understand why no one else liked it. It was one of only a few in the race that had done anything like the 2m4f distance, and had done so in it's previous two races off a weight of 11-12 and 11-7. Yesterday, however it ran at 9-2, it seemed like a no brainer to me.

I played the 3k gtd at Ladjokes this morning and was chip leader with 36 left, only as usual to get crippled when I am massive fave. 6 handed, blinds 4k/8k they all fold to me on the sb with AQ suited. I make it 28k and the bb reraises allin for 100k, I have 150k back and call, he shows JQ off and the flop comes AK8; of course the T on the river is Gallon Tea'd - battled on for a bit but to no avail.

Sorry for the lack of updates on twitter in lat nite's tournament, but it was so uneventful for me, there was nothing to report. I did manage to get all my buyins back on the cash after though, so it was a free night out with a nice fillet steak to boot!

I've gone mental on Ascot today, but we will start with the pisspot perm:

12. Zebedee 2.30
9. Hibaayeb 3.05
9. Darley Sun 3.50

10. Balducci 4.25
12. Sea Lord 4.25

2. Afsare 5.00
13. Quadrille 5.00

4. Dandino 5.35
14. Life & Soul 5.35

8 Lines @ £1 = £8 stake

I've also had a Heinz 57 on the following six aswell as an e/w acca:

2.30 5.Dinkum Diamond 3/1
3.05 12.Principal Role 4/1
3.50 5.Rite of Passage 16/1
4.25 10.Balducci 10/1
5.00 13.Quadrille 11/2

Todays Pisspot Perm for Ascot:

GL punters...

I will be off out tonight to play the £20 rebuy at Napoleons at Owlerton in Sheffield, updates on twitter during the tournament and a write up on here tomorrow.

For your information the tips I was posting last year were from a tipping service that I was subscribing to. Unfortunately they had an awful year, which obviously means they are not getting my money again. The only reason I signed up was they were on a +100 pt streak when they sold it to me.

The tips I will be posting from now on will be mine from a new system I am trialing. I have been having some success with a lot of crossbar days on big L15's and I am quietly confident that it is only a matter of time before I stop hitting the woodwork.

Not much happening today as you would expect the day before a big festival. So save your money for Royal Ascot tomorrow, but if you are really desperate for a bet then here are todays:

3.15@Carlisle - Desert Hunter 3/1

This is really my only tip today and I'm going 4pt win, but just for interest you can include the following two tonight for a 45/1 treble:

7.20@Roscommon - Grey Soldier 6/4
9.05@Windsor - Shy 7/2

GL Punters!!!

Return of the MAC - They knew I'd be Back

A thousand apologies for what is nearly a year since my last post, what a lazy git I am. To be honest I have four kids now and the little one was only one last year, so something had to give and the blog suffered. I can't guarantee on daily posts but I will try my best. I have been tweeting and you can follow me on twitter @markcullumbine, for which I will pace a link on here as there is a link from there to here, if you know what I mean.

Anyhow it's Ascot starting tomorrow and how uncanny that was what my last post was about last year - spOOky!!!

I will be back later with todays tips if there are any.
