Loved reading your Vegas updates, so much enthusiasm and love for playing, great to see when you've been in the game so long 

Hope the Sky Poker Tour will make it back to Newcastle at some point, will donate and we can catch up.

Good luck with everything tikay <3

Nice one Doobs, fun sweat cheers.

Has anyone ever bet with pokerstars?  They are giving me a £1 free bet every day right now, and noticed that they are laying a max of £100 on the 2,000 guineas ante post.  Is that the same for everybody or have I somehow got restricted already?

Maybe it's ante-post related? I can bet 308 on the fav on 2,000 guineas race, but next race at Newcastle can do 3k. Their site is pretty clunky but they give good offers on football (account dependent).

cheers, can bet £59 on Native Trail, so on <20% having never backed a winner.  They are laying 66/1 on Eydon for the 2,000 for those who have backed a winner?

Can get $7.58 on e/w  

Oh, good luck with that.  May not even run, but I think the Fielden produces a fair few decent horses and should be way shorter than 10/1 the place if he runs.   Does Native Trail scare lots of others off?  Don't know if we could end up with a single figure field, or O'Brien turns up mob handed again.

...A better prospect, though not definitely for the full Derby trip, is Eydon  , who won the Listed Feilden Stakes at Newmarket on Thursday in good style.

This was another steadily run race, as shown by those high finishing speed %s, but in Eydon’s case he came from plum last to win by a clear margin.

That is the mark of a good horse but also of a quick one, and the colt’s striding (2.38 max, 2.16 min, 25.5-feet stride) is most typically that of a 10f performer, and maybe a Prix du Jockey Club candidate

Wherever he goes next, Eydon is an exciting horse for the future: perhaps the most exciting three-year-old seen in the last couple of weeks, outside of Native Trail himself.

Still some 40/1 about with Corral/Ladbokes etc.

Still can't promise he runs though.

Well it looks like we get a run at least.  Shy going 33/1 fifth four places which seems a stonking bet given a short priced favourite and 15 runners.   They laid me £1.23 which isn't so great :/   Anyway those that can, should probably do so.

Edit.   Just checked betfair and someone is asking for £100 at 27/1 which I assume is enough to cause a bit of a timber in prices these days.  Get the 33/1 4 places before they catch up at Shy.

Cheers for the sweat Doobs

Assuming Sky Bets 28 Races 28 Offers means 0 BOG?

Been reading this guys blog posts, pretty interesting https://www.handhracing.com/

Yeah, they usually don't do BOG on races with offers so would expect that'll be the case.

Take it easy Keith, all the best!

Fun sweat tmoro, glglglgl.

Regarding the variance discussion, when it comes to analyzing results for online poker I would say you need to have at least a 5k+ sample of MTTs for the last two year period for it to be relatively accurate and worthwhile reviewing, but even a 10k+ sample over that period is far from conclusive. Smaller samples can still have some relevance but anything below 1k online MTTs is close to meaningless. So whilst expected ROI’s will differ live vs online which will affect the variance we should expect to experience, and I definitely don’t know a huge amount about variance in live poker, it's pretty absurd to think about what the variance can be like live and I'd expect it still would be considered "standard".

As others have said updates have been great, thanks for sharing, and glglgl with the grind.

Glglglgl Alex (can't he just make a new account short term?)

That was worth staying up for!

Unreal fight, probably best fight I've watched live, Fury is the GOAT

What is her World Ranking now?

Presumably, she's now British #1?

Think she was at the semi final stage.   She is top 25 i think now with nothing to defend for ages.

Yeah she had already achieved British #1 at semi's stage.

It has to be one of the greatest sporting achievements there's ever been surely? It's genuinely absurd what she's achieved.

Viewing this thread with Mondatoo!!!
