Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

A belated Good Morning Afternoon.

I've been somewhat waylaid, so not much point doing a Daily Update at this time of day, so I'll leave it until tomorrow morning.

For now, an abbreviated summary of our performance yesterday.

Rugby League Catalan Dragons v Leeds Rhinos.

Since it was decided, this fixture has been causing me much angst. Both teams have their failings, Leeds are a team of old men who struggle against good teams and Catalans  are playing badly and have an awful record away from home ( I am aware this match is in France). The winners will probably face a trip Wigan, where Catalans got completely stuffed last week. If a giant was threatening to stomp on my nether regions if I didn't make a choice I would plump for Leeds who will at least not be fearful of a trip to Wigan whilst the cheese eating surrender monkeys will. However all the signs point to a close game. When they played each other a month ago there were only 4 points between them.

Instead of going for my usual draw bet I am going to advise backing a drop goal to be scored. Both teams have scored them regularly this season and the Leeds player Sinfield is canny enough to do it even when they are 3 scores ahead. It is not going to occur until the last 20 mins of the game but if the match is at all close then it is a very likely occurrence.

Recommend a drop goal is scored £20 @ 7-2 with Paddy Power but 3-1 is acceptable if the price is gone.

Do we have anything lined up for tonight which I need to action?

I did see a debate about the Blackburn game, which was largely negative. I WANT them to win it, but that is irrelevant.

I did see the stat "max points @ Home versus nil points Away record". The worry I have with those is that BOTH those 100% records will get bust at some stage.

"No bet" on it at present, then.

Great work Tighty , woke up in a better mood this morning

Why do they call you "Lucky Jim"?

[tikay]

Six goals scored total in the last six matches between Manchester City and Arsenal

All three matches in 2011-12 finished 1-0

So far this season Arsenal in 4 games concede 0,0,0,1

So far this season Man C in 4 games concede 2,2,1,1

Yet under 2.5 is a 11/10 dog to over 2.5 4/6 favourite

Would suggest that his is the wrong way round for Sunday

The goalscoring firepower is perfectly priced in/extremely well known by everyone, tight defences aren't priced in

We get 1-0 either way,2-0 either way, 1-1,0-0 at odds against (obviously)

Wouldn't expect this to be popular on the thread, but its a contrarian view with stats to back it up

Boro: Steele, Hoyte, Bikey, Woodgate, Hoyte, Friend; McEachran, Thomson, Leadbitter, Carayol; Jutkiewicz, Emnes

Looks a pretty good side to me

Tikay, did you Bet Micheal Van Gerwen @80s for the Darts World Champs??
It was suggested on here a month or so ago by someone, the Darts Season on Tv started last Night and Van Gerwen is currently tearing it up on ESPN as I type, this price will be about half that come December at this rate.
100/1 on Oddschecher with Youwin but I don't know if you have an account?

Reckon we should all lump on Boro if they're getting away with fielding 12 players!

[tikay]

The extra man made all the difference. 'Boro lead 1-0.
