A €200 treble on Kauto Star, Dunguib & Bucks Fizz would currently return €979.23
Would you?

And more importantly, will I?!!

I think you`d be better off having the €200 on a soccer or GAA treble IMHO. All 3 are superstars but I think at least 1 of them is going to be beaten. I could be wrong though but I`d be interested in hearing other opinions

Ya iv often had big bets-and anything over €100 is a big bet to me. But never on doubles and trebles. Dont like the idea of depending on all 3.
All 3 seem certainties. But in many ways we are all waiting for one of them to be beaten next week.

Also interested in other opinions.

Good point. Also, all 3 are running on different days. Say Dunguib is beaten on Tuesday, you will possibly go and place another treble with a different "certainty" or perhaps go larger on a double of Big Bucks and Kauto Star. A dangerous game as Big Bucks could end up being beaten, not likely, but it could happen.

If I was you I`d keep the €200, enjoy a few small bets and a feed of beer for the week. There`s no enjoyment in a bet like that. No offence but I`d imagine you`re not a regular large punter. If you were I believe that you`d have upwards of €500 on the treble if you really wanted to make a few shillings.

I could be wrong, but it`s just my opinion.

lump your 200 on a double 2morrow ipswich and doncaster to win.. with the winnings back your treble for 200 and if your treble looses your not out of pocket.. confident enough over that double but ya know soccer anything could occur..

Dunguib and big bucks look a good double.
Not so sure about Kauto.
Reading 4/5 , Bristol Rovers 3/4 and Coventry 7/10 tomorrow to get some cash for Cheltenham. 9/2 the treble.

Now that you`ve considered betting the €200 you have to follow through or you`ll be kicking yourself if they come in.
However I would bet the €200 as an E/W Trixie. 8 bets  (3 double + i teble ) @ €25. It gives you a better chance if one of them is placed only.
BTW I see Bucks Fizz as the weak link.

its madness to bet on any of the big 4 favs at cheltenham, at least 2 of them will be beat, laying all 4 would be the way to go.

I think the 4 you have mentioned here will all win, look at each race individually if you come up with these 4 as winners then why not put them in an accum. Dunguib has more question marks over him than the other 3 no doubt.

i`d be with you on that, although i probably wouldn`t lay them either i`d just stay away from them.
but i still might back Dunguib, i think he`ll be worth it

Doing the treble at this stage wasn`t the smartest move.If you backed them all individually every day placing any winnings on the next horse all prices would be guaranteed which could make a significant difference.
