To win Lexus Chase and Gold Cup: Bobs Worth 10/1 SDC 14/1 First Lieutenant 50/1 To win Ryanair Christmas Hurdle and Champion Hurdle: Hurricane Fly 15/2 Our Conor 12/1 Jezki 25/1 Christmas Hurdle and Champion Hurdle The New One 6/1 My Tent 6/1 Not sure if any of you look at that sort of thing, but its interesting as a market. Plenty of value but it gives the bookies 2 chances to get you beat. You can see these odds via oddschecker.
I don't rate these bets as value Toppy - you can get 6/1 about the Fly for the Champion Hurdle, so 15/2 for him to win the Ryanair AND the Champion Hurdle doesn't feel like value. I've only ever done 1 of these in my life, was for Grumeti to win the Cheltenham Triumph Trial (where Pearl Swan beat him but got demoted for interference) and then win the Triumph Hurdle itself - odds of 16/1. When the stewards helped him on the first leg I thought my luck was in but, ultimately, he wasn't good enough to win the Triumph and finished 3rd at 5/1fav. I suppose the 16/1 was a bit of value (he won the first race at 7/4) but I think that was an exception, rather than the rule.
they are all 'mug' bets --any bookie is trying to lure people with 'value' --facts tell us the likelyhood of such events occuring are much greater than the odds offered--therefore 'mug' bet... like all those daft football combos--correct score, scorer,etc-- sure they occasionally come off--but that is it-- mind you suarez first scorer at home has been fairly good--hence the 5/2 odds --but as a general rule they are bookie bets... we all know how hard it is to get one win never mind another a few months later !!!!
