Can’t see a thread on it so please delete if there is one.
I’m trying to get a bet on on how many horses die this year a bit like the more than 2.5 goal spread type bet.
Can’t find one anywhere but want to go more that 3.5 this year.

Any idea of the odds of Dunk getting early onset dementia from scoring from corners?

It's a shame no crowds means there's betting market for the number of 'professional footballers caught on camera urinating into pint glasses' this year.

Really?
Why not do an accumulator with how many rescue dogs get put down in March coz nobody wants them [the Christmas clear out] + number of kids getting knocked down walking to school in March?

FFS :nono:

T'is a slightly weird/sick bet i agree.....

It’s not a bet you fruitcakes... Christ you must know me by now. I’m highlighting what a cruel sport National Hunt is. There is on average a death every other day in Britain and Ireland over the jumps. Nearly 200 in 2019.

I love the flat and I know horses can be injured during that but it’s rare. Why the f.uck are they made to jump these huge fences and come down like they do.

I don’t bet on it........ And that’s the only reason it exists.

Can you do a double with how many people are photographed sitting on them?

And if there was ever a picture that painted a thousand words about the industry then that was it.

I have always said that horse racing is fine on one condition , if the horse has to be put down so does the owner the trainer and the jockey . That way everyone takes the same risk , if you don`t want to die don`t put the horse at risk , unbelievably F*****g simple . It`s a true sign of what a shite species we are that would take pleasure from the suffering of animals . Humans on the other hand , have a sport and kill as many as you like , they wont be missed , certainly by the horses .

You just got a round of applause from Mrs T when I read out your post.

Surely Early Onset Dementia from scoring from a corner requires considerable repetition? Rather than 10 in 135 games...?

It's a wierd concept of 'sport' when it exists soley to serve the betting industry.

If, hyperthetically, betting on horses was banned, how long would the sport last? 6 weeks?

At this time of year what with Cheltenham and Aintree, i keep a very close eye on my shares in Bostick.
Just after Bechers Brook is usually a good time to sell.
