Didn't we back Ricardo last time out at a tasty price? shame if so

[Just caught up]

Morning all. This time difference thing sucks.

Just caught up, well done on a successful Derby outcome.

Lovely result in the Germany - Armenia affair, thanks McGlashan.

Who gave us the Oaks winner? (Taghrooda). Well done, anyway, ditto for "Abseil".

Shame England spoiled the party v the AB.

well...

Should have said "with the important stuff".......

Where you watching the game tomorrow? I'll be playing Downtwn, @ GN, but if I get busted in time, I'll come join you, & explain how it all works.

Tal-Bloke flies out tomorrow (Sunday), too, arrives mid-afternoon I assume, he's on the Virgin jobbie from Gatters.

We could have a proper Fred-gathering. Tal gave us a winner earlier this week. Who'd have thunk?

Did you play the Seniors?

Played the 1500 wsop last night. Got to 24k from 4500 then lost every pot. Giving the 1k a spin today but if out up for NBA game 2. Am meeting mates for beers downtown at 8 or. 9 so if there's anywhere down there to watch it first I'd be up for that. Prefer a bar to a sports book tho. On English number or have a Vegas no, +17022871365

Hope he gets the job for you.

Looking forward to that text message/carrier pigeon!

Just heard the nz starting fly half on talk sport. Said weather is fine and sunny n has been for days, expecting an open running game, admitted they'd barely heard of Freddie n the dreamers in midfield but that they'd been researching and watching videos all week of them. All blacks by 35 for me

Not invested but wishing u all the best Stu, enjoy the reports and hope u start running a lil better

Got your Text, thanks, will reply next week. Normal service will be resumed when you get back on my Diary.

When u say next week, do u mean next month? In which case you're still late

Hi tikay, been offline on holiday for a week, back now. Caught up on Fred ofc, think most of your questions were answered by Greeky. The main thing with LeBron's foul trouble is how rare he gets into it, I think he fouled out of a game last season and that was the first time in years (could probs check but u get my point). It's a combo of being really good, and also in basketball it seems that the veteran/name players are given more leeway than the less well known guys. It's also pretty evident that the refs let more go come playoff time, be it general fouls/big guys pushing and shoving in the post (under the basket) for position (remember it's a no contact sport!) or with technical fouls too.

Coaches try and manage their players' fouls throughout the game, so if your player gets more than one foul in the first quarter, picks up his third before half-time, gets his fourth early in the third etc etc, they'll sit that player for a while. As Greeky said, if a player is in foul trouble and the coach wants to leave him in, the opposition coach will go at that player trying to draw another foul. If the player gets his sixth, or gets two technicals, he's out of the game, tho u can bring on a sub to replace him. There was a bizarre Lakers game earlier this season where they only dressed about 7 players, a few got fouled out and in the end they had to invoke some rule  where one of the fouled out guys came back on! And they won. Will look that up for u, first time I ever hear of it.

Technicals are generally for dissent, but vary in severity depending how bad the offence, especially overly violent fouls etc. In general tho, they give away one free throw as well as possession of the ball. I really like the way it works and think football would be better with some kind of system like that.

Anyway, never got a letter or a text off u but am in Vegas from Weds so will be up for watching the Finals with u and any others up for some hoopies. Our portfolio looks great right now.

Interested in the value debate on Fred, think some of our NBA bets have been great value but lost, now hopefully we'll be on the right side of it. Still think this isn't a great season, no stand out side. Brooklyn really missed a trick, we backed them at 20s, coulda got them at 50s through the season and yet they beat the Heat in all four meetings this season, showed what they can do on the big occasion. Tbf to them, they lost their best player to injury but still....

Did u see the NBA draft? Will explain more about it when u see it, but Cleveland got the number one pick for the third time in 4 years, was less than a 2% chance of them getting it again. LeBron, he of Cleveland fame and a native of Cleveland, can also opt out of his contract this summer, or become a free agent next...I wonder

PS I lost all that once and had to retype. On returning from hols my laptop, which previously could survive a mighty 5 mins without being plugged in, now has a red X over the battery icon and says 'No battery is detected' and now just turns off if I unplug, or move the wire! Any ideas techie people/tika?!

Defo not for backing ew dogs ffs, what we gonna do when it comes second, start again? Thin we need one of them vote things set u and everyone to go with the majority tho, whatever it is. Personally I like a first goal/correct score combo at 50/1 plus tonight, but lotto fine, whatever fine, just needs a vote.

Can confirm Tal is definitely the value

[BET PLACED]

Nico Rosberg currently 15/8 with StanJames for pole position - there is definitely value there.

Personally, I do think Hamilton will get the pole, but Lewis is struggling with his car set-up, and although he did top the third practice session that was only because Nico Rosberg caught traffic on his flying lap.

If you have the money to spare, it is worth a bet on Rosberg - definitely a strong chance, much better than the 15/8 suggests.

OK Peter, that's your traditional maiden Fred Bet, which all Fred newbies get.

We have had £10 @ 7/4, BetFred, Nico Rosberg to secure Pole. (We cannot get the 15/8 from Satan, as our Account has been closed).

BET PLACED

WINNER

Well done Peter!

A tiddling tenner ffs?! U should write your bank a letter...

Defo spin if it's a tenner back or whatever, if only to save the boys the jobs of shipping it. All in on football tonight or wanna stick to horses?

Did we brick all outs?

what we cheering for places in the next, still 2 left?

thank mili and ads for your efforts, agree this is more fun and less likely to win, just as I thought!

Tighty, are all the top tryscorer bets dead now?

Sorry if I've missed it, but I've got a few tryscorer bets (including one for Tikay) still listed on my 'other sports' sheet.

Tighty is going to be AWOL today, so I'm in charge, & will deal with questions like that.

I lolled.

Then started thinking up questions for u while you're manning the fort.

What's your preferred bet for the £50 free in running on 365 tonight and why pls?

And also....what's the tie breaker between the yankees and orioles if they finish level?

And also....what's the NBA's concussion policy and does that mean Paul George is out for the Pacers tonight?

And also....
