No. My man is " The Wall II " a bit like Terminator II - bigger and better.

Does this mean Rahul Dravid is evil?

i dont rate nigel clough or derby but one thing they have a lot of sides dont in this division is certain stability ( he is unsackable) and despite me thinking there squad isnt very good it is the most stable in the division and they are going ok this season

evens doesn't excite me a great deal

We both know Derby have been rubbish for a long time under Clough?   Evens at hime suggests that Palace are just a tiny bit better than Derby?  Not sure what we are waiting for?  How many people have to say the bet is OK?

Anyway time to concentrate

[TightEnd]

I have a bit of a blind spot regarding Derby (can never quite understand why they don't get relegated) but I also think Palace should be odds on home to Derby

there, I agree with Ant.

Clough has been there long enough to achieve something though. They always finish near the bottom, it must be just as depressing supporting Derby than it is Coventry, who probably did want to get relegated.

i am not disagreeing derby are rubbish

palace at evens really doesnt get my blood rushing though

Well bumped. Forgot about that completely. Yes, the Everest book won. (Mildly interesting fact: it should be pronounced EVE-REST, rather than EVER-EST, as that's how the man the mountain is named after pronounced his name).

Judges said the "momentous" book, the result of ten years' research and writing, "shed new light on events and stories we thought we already knew".

Davis is also the National Geographic Society explorer-in-residence.

The adventurer gives a detailed insight into the explorers' world, focusing on Mallory's expeditions and the impact of the Great War.

Chair of the judges, David Willetts MP, said it was a "fascinating historical narrative of a great adventure".

"It's an exciting story of human endeavour imbued with deep historical significance," he continued.

"Wade's scrupulous use of sources and attention to detail, combined with his storytelling skills and ability to enter into the minds of the people he is writing about, make this a thoroughly enlightening and enjoyable book."

I didn't tip any of them, I'm afraid - as much as I'd love to take undeserved credit - I was struggling to find anything that stood out.

I actually suggested the Everest book didn't seem to accord with the brief as much as others of something that would "last for the ages", so it was as much indicative of a lack of knowledge on my part as anything else I've posted! At least I was wise enough not to suggest a bet. I'm learning.

sorry wasnt a rub brain has been switched off so far this week finding it hard to get it back on

Its that time of the week where we should try to take advantage of some poor work on the TD markets in tonight's Pittsburgh game Tony. We have really hit the post the last 2 weeks and this week provides a slightly different bet.


Paddy Power are 14/1 Emmanuel Sanders first td in the Pittsburgh v Kansas game, he is likely to start at wr in place of Antonio Brown who is injured. The 14/1 is clear top price and its a perfect example of trying to take advantage of bad markets. They are quoting 2 players in their list that aren't even playing for Pitts tonight Mendenhall and Brown, Brown being out changes the Sanders price completely. They simply haven't done the work.

Maybe a £10 at 14/1 Emmanuel Sanders for the first TD.



What is interesting is they are also 23/10 that Sanders scores at any time and this is far too big in a game that Pitts are likely to put up plenty of points in. ( it is a rick basically because the guy that is supposed to follow NFL for them simply doesn't seem to know the team news)

I suggest £30 or £40 at 23/10 Sanders to score a TD.

They were actually 16/1 and 12/5 those earlier in the day, they seem to have laid a few bets and trimmed them up and still haven't realised why they are wrong.

Bets were both losers Tony, Sanders had 2 passes thrown to him in the end zone, one in the first qtr that he looked set to catch but one of the D managed to get a small diving touch to the ball which deflected it upwards and it hit Sanders in the face instead.

Pittsburgh lost their QB to injury and their back up played almost all the 2nd half, he is poor and the game ended up being a run and defend game with just 6 points scored in the second half and 3 in overtime. We had one more scoring pass thrown to the front edge of the end zone when open but Leftwich over threw him out wide.

Just to show how big an injury blow that was for Pittsburgh, they were 16 on BF to win the superbowl yesterday, won the game and are now 24.

Daily Report as at 08.10am, Tuesday November 13th

We made a loss of £110 yesterday.

4 bets completed, (2 related) & all 4 lost.

Our hopeful punt on the Samuel Johnson Book Prize failed (-£20), & the 1st Test between Australia & South Africa ended in a draw, with South Africa eventually very much on the back foot. (£-40). Finally, we failed to convert 2 Touchdown bets on last night’s Chiefs v Steelers affair. (-£50)

I guess after 12 days of run good, it had to happen sooner or later.   

We had a brief glimpse of life in 4 figure-land on Monday, our fingertips were on the summit briefly, but we could not hold on, & now we are back into the area where we don’t need commas.
