He's no longer eligible for England Hutch. Has played in competitive internationals for Ivory Coast so an option lost.

Well sadly the Shockers got shocked by 13th seed Marshall, losing by 5 points. Disappointing end to a year which saw them ranked as the third best team in the nation for a time.

However, a larger story was to emerge later in the day as Virginia became the first 1 seed in March Madness history to lose to a 16 seed. 0-135 became 1-135 and it wasn't even close, as little known UBMC (from the unheralded American East conference) routed them to the tune of 20 points. Virginia wasn't just a number 1 seed, it was the number 1 seed. The clear cut tournament favourite and demonstrably the best team all season in college hoops. This was a proper 1.01 shot and they got beaten by 20 points, incredible.

The regular season has finished in the NCAA men's basketball and March Madness is upon us. For those with long memories, you'll remember we backed the Wichita State Shockers for this way back when. They didn't have as strong a season as we'd like, losing a couple of 1 point games against key rivals, but still come into this as a 4 seed in their quarter. They're a 40/1 shot but definitely have a chance if they can get through a couple of rounds and build some momentum. First game for them is tonight at 6:30.

Malcolm Butler to the Titans too.

He's turned Paul Pogba into Mathias Pogba and Alexis Sanchez into Sanchez Watt. Impressive.

Yeh, that is pretty standard I'm afraid.

I managed to find the thread in the end. Hat tip to Doobs for putting it together.

Free bets are usually not stake back

There was a thread about free bet maths a year years ago but I can't seem to find it. Essentially, pick one that is as tight to the machine price as possible and back it win only.

False scoreline in the first game due to the Mane red card?

Isn't it pretty widely known that Allison is their target rather than Burland? Seems like paper talk.

Very good haha

The PGA Tour website broke yesterday, due to the volume of use requests. Tiger is transcendent.

Maybe a touch of recency bias but I thought the majority of the teams in the league that season were genuinely competitive, which is what enabled Leicester to win as they were all capable of taking points off the big teams. This season there is a massive gap between the top 5 and the rest. Burnley remained in 7th despite falling to win a game for two and a half months. The bottom half of the league is essentially just a bunch of Championship sides in all but name.

Yes City are brilliant, and I'm sure in any given season they'd do damage at the top of the league, but on this season's form its like having a grade 1 horse entered in a seller.

very weak year in the prem though. weakest in recent memory for sure.

Definite recency bias in this result.

If you enjoy a drink with your rugby, be aware that the stuff in the ground is 0.5%.
