Dont see any of the top 4 winning, though tempted to stick a fiver each on PJ Harvey and Wild Beasts

PJ Harvey has moved from 14/1 to 6/4 favorite on Hills, hope someone was on it, got her at 8/1 at Ladbrokes today.

Shouldn't be too hard to pick the Derby winner this year with only the one horse running if you're watching it on the BBC.

Would anyone care to join me in a stirring rendition of La Marseillaise?! At 6's no less.

blimey, how'd that happen.

might check it out, not a pj harvey fan at all though. maybe think twice about putting a tenner on everything everything now. even though it blatantly should win!

some restrictions though i.e. sometimes a minimum of evens for the qualifier/freebet at the bookies - also need to try and get the odds as close to betfair or betfair lower , to lock in as much profit from the freebets as poss

Ta. I have a hundred stake, and I was recommended BetFred but I will look at bet fair. I am looking for bookies that will do a stake on return, but if I try revery one it seems I will still be on a winner for my initial hundred.
