Don't know if this is one for the WTF thread but BBC2 have just shown a betting slip with a CASH bet of £500.000 on Big Bucks. Whoever done it must have Big Balls as well.

Fair Fcuks to he or she whoever they may be for that gamble. Also Big Bucks what a horse.

Sounds like an RV bet

Does anyone follow floyd mayweather on twitter? - seems to always be posting pictures of bets with crazy stakes!!!

An off sales proprietor in Lurgan passes his time by posting pics of his winning bets on Facebook. If only he would post the losers as well.

Follow The Plan! How bad are the current crop of staying chasers?

Any of the Kildare lads have any suggestions as to somewhere fairly affordable to stay in Naas the Friday night of the Punchestown festival? I'm guessing this night gets booked out fairly quickly?

The accomodation list on their own website is fairly comprehensive (just click the links on the right hand side of the page): http://www.punchestown.com/accommodation.asp

Don't confine yourself to Naas if you can't find anywhere suitable. The likes of Newbridge and Clane would only be 10-15 minutes away in a taxi. You might be lucky and get somewhere in Naas, it's hard to know. Most of the English crowd that come over stay in Dublin rather than locally.

Fingal Bay best price 7/4 at the minute, a bit short for a horse coming back from injury and tackling 3m for the first time. Could Cotton Mill be the one to beat him after unseating against Simonsig?

How the hell was the result of the last race at Gowran Park allowed to stand? Johnny ended up on the chase course and was only beaten a short head. What were the stewards watching?

They must've had a few quid on the winner

NAP of the day Albertas Run 9/4 to bate Finians Rainbow in the 3.05. Long shot of the day, Moon Over Miami 40/1 in the 3.40 Topham but there's 5 places...  Golden Call in the 4.15 Ginger McCains runners perform well around home...

Finians Rainbow wins. Nice favs treble on the first 3 at Ainetree.
