[Rec £40 on Nerlens Noel Rookie of the Year 10-1]

Bosh is staying with the Heat, so I think that cancels argueboy's reason to back them (I've backed them at 20s earlier and they may still land Melo or someone good but can't see it, I have quite a bit on Cleveland at 60s, 50s n 40s tho, hoping that works out well).

In light on not getting Fred on Cleveland (tho I did post here I was busy betting on next season's NBA, noone asked what on!) I've been looking at the Rookie of the Year market. I'll post proper reasons when I have time, but Nerlens Noel's price looks like it's tumbling, was 10/1 across the board, now only at Billy Hills I think. For clarity I've backed him at 14s and topped up a bit at 10s. Reasons to come but for now...

Good luck for day 2 Stu, if only so the trip reports continue Defo a future as an updater if it all goes wrong. Think you're right with last hand of day one, about the only hand that checks that will call the river overbet, maybe a set but not many of those in his range given the way it was played. GL today

Totesport are going 13/8 Messi anytime right now.  Seems a shade of value, 7/5 best elsewhere.

2/1 in 90 mins PP Messenger, max £20

I believe it's now called doing an Eso Tal fyi

Looks like an overlay in Cardiff. I'm going when I wake up. Which will prolly be 5am lol

What price is Dai Greene?

Is that Middlesbrough legend Christian Karembeu with Wenger?

it is.

Rather see a pic of his missus.

Did Miami let the cat out of the bag with their draft pick tonight? Selected the guy lbj talked up as the best guard in college ball during the NCAA tourney and when they got him lbj tweeted saying he's his fave player in the draft. Would be weird to now leave the heat after that. Looks like he's opted out to re-sign for less to get a better squad. I've backed Cleveland at 60 and 50-1 but think this signals lbj stays in Miami. Think they'll shorten to 5/2 from. 7/2 once that happens officially

Knicks are trading away Tyson. Chandler back to Dallas, big changes a coming for that roster

good luck stu, hope it turns round for u, reports are great reading from an educational point of view, hope the content becomes better too!!

One for jaffa or other NBA diehards to pass his/their views on if you wouldn't mind.

This isn't a bet for fred as it could potentially take 10/15/20 years to win however it's a truely incredible price.  Fisher is going to be an nba head coach for years and years you would have to assume having retired as a player this season and having won a collection of championships over his career as a solid role player.  His team (NY Knicks) next year are only a 40/1 shot with ladbrokes to win the NBA.  He has a 5 year contract to coach the Knicks under the guidance of the greatest coach in history Phil Jackson (so its highly likely fisher sees out this contract) who is now the general manager of the Knicks and won 6 titles with Jordan and the Bulls and 3 more with Kobe and Shaq at LA.  It's highly unlikely the knicks will not improve dramatically as a team in the next 5 years (they have huge salary cap issues next season which will finish for the following season and they will be able to rebuild their roster to championship level) and therefore won't be anywhere close to a 50/1 shot to win the NBA esp as they are in the very weak Eastern conference.  Even if we assume the knicks are a 50/1 (2%) shot in each of the next 5 years for the nba that obv equates to 10% or 9/1.  This is pretty much the worse case scenario.  So we are getting the right price for the bet easily within the next 5 years and then have a total freeroll on fisher potentially coaching for the next 20 years in the nba.

This looks max bet for me jaffa.  KD had a 50 point game in each of the last 3 seasons and is still improving towards his natural physical peak.  Hard to see how he doesn't have a 50 point game again next season as he is the purest scorer in the NBA since Jordan and has led the league in scoring virtually every season since he has become a true superstar.

Last season he had individual game totals of 48, 48, 54, 46, 51

After much searching found this post Marc. Can't see the prices tho on iPad,maybe the markets were taken down?

The fisher bet must be maths based as as u say there's no logic to suggesting the Knicks win a championship any time soon. They may actually be helped if Carmelo leaves this offseason as they are not able I rebuild at the moment, but they still have monster outlays on Bargnani and Stat and no one will be taking those contracts off them. That's means potentially a couple of years of losing before they have a chance of winning. Will fisher ride that out, five yr dealer not?

There's plenty of good coaches you'd think would always get jobs who are signing on, Avery Johnson springs to mind as one ad there's many the same. Coupled with what a good speaker he is as former head of the players association or whatever the proper title is, I think he might end up in a TV studio. Guess if mathematically it's a bet it is a bet but it's not one I fancy in terms of feels.

I think Durant  will get 50. If it's around evens I like it. What price did they have?

Yo argueboy thought I'd read every post here, but I guess half the time I've been drunk...what's your NBA offering? I've had a few bets myself coincidentally

Imagine how good for the game USA making the final/winning would be.

They aren't the best team but so hungry for it.

Been well impressed with how excited they are about it over here, wasn't like this in 2010. Venetian erupted when they scored the other day, they're loving the WC and can see why, love their team. Had to answer some pretty comical questions about how the game works, how long, what the flag on the play was (explaining offside with poker chips lol) but gotta be good for the game.

PS Yes Doobs I'm in Vegas. Sorry

Thanks for the gratz Freddies x
