Tips for Tikay

[hhyftrftdr]

Stallone up for best supporting, as is likely to be Dano. His biggest rival appears to be Michael Fassbender not looking very much like Steve Jobs. Good movie and performance though, I enjoyed it.

Wow I was restricted to £55 at 3/10 despite it being my first ever bet after having the party account for 10plus years. I think it is a great bet and will be watching if anyone else puts up a market or if prices change elsewhere.

Also your post really makes me want to watch the new Rocky movie now!

I'm planning to have a max bet on bwin/party at 3/10 for Leo DiCaprio to win the Golden Globe next week. I know Fred can't bet on that site but anyone want to talk me out of it?

Universally tipped to win the Oscar with talk that he is due. If he wins oscar than he wins Golden Globe?

I've not seen the movie yet myself but I am not sure who is going to beat him this year...

He is also 1/3 best price Best Actor in the Oscars but that's not til Feb 29th.

He seems like an absolute lock for the Oscar. I've read some pieces about Paul Dano for his portrayal of Brian Wilson. Seems like he's been deemed a supporting actor and is a possible chunky price for the Oscar, given I've never heard of him and Sylvester Stallone is up for the award.

One to stow away in your thought pockets anyway

I've not seen it, but the Oscars love nothing more than the role that Fassbender had..... but having said that, LDC is long overdue some recognition, and by all accounts he is excellent in his new film (think its out here 15th Jan).

In recent years, you've had great performances in biopic type films clean up....

Colin Firth, Kings Speech, 2011
Daniel Day Lewis, Lincoln, 2013
Eddie Redmayne, Theory Of Everything, 2015
Sean Penn, Milk, 2009

And a little further back, Jamie Foxx for Ray (2005), Phillip Seymour Hoffman for Capote (2006) and Forest Whittaker for Last King Of Scotland (2007).

Again, I've not seen Jobs, but I know Fassbender is highly regarded in Hollywood, and I wouldn't rule him out binking an Oscar for it. Steve Jobs is a more ''Oscar'' type film than The Revenant IMO. I would've thought the betting might be slightly closer.

Bergeroo,

You can get many times more on ( 8 x I think ) in doubles with BWin.

I think the general feeling is that it is Leo's year as he is due. Nominated 4 times, never won and widely seen as the next Jack Nicholson.

The Steve Jobs film has been a box office flop, and Eddie Redmayne isn't going to win two years in a row for a film that is getting a kicking from the critics.

It'll be like Julianne Moore or Cate Blanchett's Oscars - people will think they've done enough great work in the past to deserve one and this role is good enough to get them it.

Pretty sure in a month's time we'll look back and think '1/3 was just buying money' when he's 1/10.

[AndrewT]

Also, Fassbender has said he's not interested in doing any publicity for an Oscars push, so it'll be difficult to build momentum for him.

Did we get the Washington bet on in the end?

And of the two, I assume we'd prefer to back the team that is firing its head coach (Giants) to lose over the team that is playing in the shop window for the next one (Eagles)?

No idea, I hope so though.

Think Tighty said he had to ask me something, which I assumed meant that WH needed Funding, but the WH account is fine afaics. 

If Tighty does not appear in the next half hour, post again, (with explicit details to avoid fat finger syndrome) & I'll try & get it on.

No say so on washington

i had wanted to be on the side of the team playing hard in the shop window, having hated the previous coach, but as its coughlin's last game (probable) maybe the giants want to go out with a bang too

so i dont know

50.5 is the points line for that game. Both sides eager to please, we think? If so, caution more important than individual highlight reel risk taking, defenses playing up to the game and more disciplined in approach.

50.5 is a lot of points, only three fewer than New Orleans v Atlanta (which could go over 70 if Brees can stand upright for an hour, although we'd rather prefer it if he didn't).

Under?

Edit: 51 now, 19/20 with Chorals.

Only a suggestion.

you want to go under in a meaningless game with these secondaries?

maybe, but i'd have to shut my eyes for three hours while holding my breath....

It's what might fairly be described as a contrarian play, yes.

Darts

Scuy are 5/6 that there wont wont be a 180 in the first leg.  Surely this should be more like 1/2.  They will both have max 9 darts each to achieve this.
Seems like a good bet to me.

Lots of firms are around this price, so can it be that wrong? 365 are longer, at 10/11...

Washington get the first touchdown and lead against Dallas.

...and the second.

14-0.

One quarter done. Passing yards so far:

Tom Brady 6
Drew Brees 72

Table looks like this now:

1. Tom Brady (New England Patriots) 4,642
2. Drew Brees (New Orleans Saints) 4,619
3. Philip Rivers (San Diego Chargers) 4,564
4. Carson Palmer (Arizona Cardinals) 4,542

Great work, Tighty!
