UK Horse Racing Tips

I had something of  a ‘lazy one’ last week, though you might not know it due to the amount of walking I did. A group of us went on our yearly trip together to Great Yamouth to watch the races, go to the casino, and soak up a few rays (an optimistic way of stating ‘avoid the rain!’). On this occasion we decided to book a caravan for a more ‘authentic’ experience, though the beds were about as wide as a plank of wood so in future we’ll likely stay at one of the countless hotels in the area instead.

While we were there, we ate in a lovely restaurant called Pamela’s, and spotted a few seals bobbing up and down in the sea during a beach walk. We also chatted to a good few taxi drivers who all seemed to be local characters with stories to tell, it was a bit like being plunged into the a sitcom scene once some of them got started with their stories! The only down side perhaps was the on-site entertainment, which was anything but entertaining. We have declared that if we return, we’ll have to have drink ourselves to the point where it becomes amusing. I’m not sure if that’s humanly possible though!

The restaurant is a stones throw away from the local casino, which can be good or bad depending on your perspective! They certainly have their fair share of characters in there too, especially at the roulette wheel. Sometimes it’s easier to spot what numbers people haven’t bet on, than have! I tend to set myself a limit and just stick with that, so even in a worst case scenario things can’t go far wrong. As it turns out, due to a bit of early luck on single numbers, I more than doubled my money, so not bad going at all. One member of our group had a rather memorable run of wins while betting on red and black. Another One had a decent win on a fruit machine too, a fruits gone wild online type game. That was on the first day – it’s nice to have things go your way  from the off!

Our time at the races was eventful too. We managed to pick the odd decent priced winner between us, and also lumped on the odd favourite or two, which turned out to be a decent idea since it’s known as a good track for favourites, and that was certainly the case the three days we were there. At an eye watering £24 a ticket to get in each day (premier badge price), I’m glad I managed to get the odd winner ;).
