Tips for Tikay

[Tal]

Oh that's very sweet of you all.

To wrap the story up, Magnus gave quite a funny interview afterwards, full of conflicting emotions:



Of particular amusement was his comment that he hadn't expected Gawain Jones to play the (Sicilian) Dragon. That is pretty much like saying you hadn't expected Mourinho to try to defend a lead or the barmy army to drink alcohol and sing.

What a great word that is, used in that context;

crucial

A good win by Swansea last night gets them right back in the fight to stay up, with the bottom 6 Teams covered by just 3 points.

Of those 6, Stoke have the worst goal difference.

It's the Chimps v the Poshies tonight. We're on Posh to win this at fancy prices.

Good news...

Wow.

Likely number of viewers? (NAP)

If the line is 200, I'll take the under.

We might pick up an extra dozen from me ramping it on here, so I'll set the line at 25-27.

Massive price swings in this game and I've no idea why. They opened Evs Posh, 5-2 Lincoln, 5-2 Draw and it's now 5-4 Lincoln, 9-4 Posh, 5-2 Draw.

Both clubs have played full-strength sides throughout the tournament. If we weren't on already I'd put Posh up at the current price.

Would love to see the chess equivalent of a hand history of that game Mr Tal.

Jack Marriott injured during the warm up and doesn't play. Marv.

I read the caption and decided not to carry on: Sky Bet chief executive Richard Flint: "We do not close accounts simply because a customer wins"

EDIT Just read it and what a joke. Closing accounts and massively restricting them are basically the same thing, but it doesn't stop this roffler, same as it didn't stop Simon Clare when he got torn apart on Channel 4.

I'd never heard of the Horseracing Bettors Forum until now. I might have a go at getting on the panel.
