Gentlemen, place your bets

19th June 2008

Afloat asked a number of betting shops to take a book on the 2008 BMW round Ireland IRC handicap winner (as was done 10 years previously) but the bookies declined...

If, however you can get your local bookie to accept a bet from you here are Afloat.ie's unofficial odds.

No doubt some skippers will rate their chances more or less highly than we indicate here but that's a matter between them and their local bookmaker...
