Tips for Tikay

We on the Prodigal Bilic next manager yet?

He's just been sent to the stands, having squandered a 2-0 lead at the Boleyn Ground.

arb sent you a pm the other day btw

no rush just was not sure if it went through

Yes got it.  Most of the spreadsheets i use are specific for recording my dog results by track/grade/tv dogs/bags etc.  Not really much use to anyone else.  I will send you my EV spreadsheet for my ante post bets which you might find useful for calculating the current EV value of your ante post portfolio if you want.

Nah no worries then cheers anyway

Like Wickham, think there's potential there, but would rather back him to be top Palace scorer, price dependant.

What do people think is the correct price for an Australia win tomorrow in the cricket? It is not inconceivable that the lower order (who can all bat) will thrash a rapid 100+ and then England find themselves 20-4 before collapsing to <100 under the pressure.

Just had a look and 25s was too short IMO. Was hoping for 40s or 50s (or at least 33's min)

The team not in control in this series in my opinion have always been under priced or no value to win so far in this series.

Aus may be value above 50/1 but not 25/1

I have a RWC bet I like.

Ben Smith top try scorer 12/1 ew 5, 1/4 with billy hill.

NZ are the faves for title being not only the best team, but they have a pretty easy route relative to England/Aus/RSA as well.

Obviously Savea is going to be the guy to beat here, but Smiths versatility (FB, Wing and 13) should give us lots of opportunities if there is an injury. Regardless, just because of rotation he'll probably start more games than Savea who they might rest in the easy group games.

In general scores about a try every other game for All Blacks and with seven games (they must be 1/100 not to reach semis!) we might find 4 tries. Weighting the earlier fixtures for being against Georgia, Namibia and (lesser extent) Tonga I think not unreasonable to think he might score 6 or 7 especially as his lines off the shoulder will be devastating vs those teams. They start with Argies as well and a win there more or less tops the group for them - which means showboating from then on! As a comparison, Savea scores almost a try a game and is priced at top of market.

For comparison, 6 tries almost certainly finds you a place and would have dead heated the win last time out.

k we'd be rather unlucky to hit the post on a 3/1 shot for him to place where there is definitely some value and he could win it overall where I think 12s is quite generous especially given his record vs Savea.

Recommend £10 EW on Ben Smith RWC Top Try Scorer 12/1 with Billy Hills. It cannot go off longer than that I think.

If it's Street Fighter II Turbo or MarioKart, I reckon we should enter a TfT Team.

Can't wait for CDEC Gaming v Vega Squadron, titanic clash, that.

The Key Arena is, of course, home to the Rat City Rollergirls. I kid you not.



They are girls. On roller skates.

Shockingly it seems that Electronic Gaming, or whatever it's called, is yet another 'dirty' sport.

Just off camera, there's a middle aged bloke in a novelty jacket, playing all the hits of the 80s.

I wish this sentence from that piece made even an iota of sense to me.


Kory ‘SEMPHIS’ Friesen, a professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player, admitted he and other members of his team at the time, Cloud9, used Adderall during ESL One Katowice in Poland.

Rat City Rollergirls is the name of the league. Quite a wiki page...

Cultural Significance
The league is a prominent example of a subcultural trend which combines diverse strains of postpunk, third-wave feminism, the reexamination and re-creation of 1950s recreational pursuits, new burlesque style, a do-it-yourself ethic, and sports for all women. As the number of roller derby leagues have increased quickly since 2005, the Rat City Rollergirls have provided inspiration and peer mentorship to other leagues.
