Tips for Tikay

My opinion is the bet should stand on here

If the thread sometimes takes a flyer or two (it neded quick action and it was actioned as requested) on the basis of some info, you have to take the rough with the smooth...

Yep bet should definitely stand.  The bet was based on the chance that Valerie adams might not start.  The bet hasn't lost yet although an element of it has.  In many ways if you took it off then it would be a bit like betting a double and then taking it off after the first leg had lost.

adams throwing as we speak

[horseplayer]

ostapchuk qualifies with her first "throW"

[horseplayer]

i am not trying to get anybodys hopes up here but adams according to the official website didnt no have an attempt 1 and is now showing on attempt 2

no idea whats occuring

[ripple11]

as i mentioned to bobby in a pm i am not sure it is entirely a great preparation for the favourite ?

i am on anyway so prepare for the worst!

On as well.
Phil's info over the last few years has been excellent......and this was definitely a "quick, just get on" bet.
gl us!

[horseplayer]

a certain athelete has had two "puts" and adams has yet to have any

no idea what is going on here

[horseplayer]

she keeps getting moved down the order on the live website

she is there as she was shown at the start

[horseplayer]

ah it was a red flag first attempt

not as good as our hero anyway but would have qualified her easily

[horseplayer]

i strongly suggest not viewing the shot put website if you are either eating breakfast or planning to eat lunch soon

jesus

[horseplayer]

adams is through

[horseplayer]

1   1193     OSTAPCHUK N   20.76   Q   
2   2613     ADAMS V   20.40   Q   
3   2870     KOLODKO E   19.31   Q   
4   1377     LI L   19.23   Q   
5   1374     GONG L   19.11   Q   
6   1383     LIU X   18.96   Q   

it looks like at the very least our hero will be at the worst close to adams regardless

Daily Report as @ 0830, Monday August 6th

Mostly bits & bobs yesterday, with one exception, watching the Olympics beats betting the Olympics.

Completed action yesterday included the ever popular Gatlin, who we had for the 100m, £10 @ 25/1. He finished 3rd, so a worthwhile - if losing -  tip by Mr Kimber. Bolt is just different class.

In Golf, our 70's TV Cop Duo, Hunter & Mahan, or even Mahan & Foster, bombed out, but we only had a tenner on each. Save the golf run good for this week's PGA, whhere we might have a good bit of action.

In Womens Handball, Norway got turned over by Spain in what amounted to a (nearly) dead rubber. We progress to the next stage safely.

We placed a few more bets on the Irish Greyhound Derby, another £30 in total, not big money but big prices & fun sweats, hopefully.

In Olympic Tennis, we had no interest in the Murray-Federer match, as we had conflicting recommendations. Once again, the contrarian Doobsy scooped. We should have known.


We also stuck £100 on a Shot Put lady named Nadzeya Ostapchuk, more on which shortly.  

I do mean to be pedantic. Wasn't this Rickie Fowler?

Correct. Having a bad day here........

OK lads, the Shot Put bet stays put on Fred.

Good luck Miss Ostapchuk. And us.
