Rockets winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Gonna need you to text me these tips, mans on fire!

[tikay]

Oh yes!

TL900 breaks our run of ducks. The Rockets were down 13 at one stage, but ended up winning 107-105, & we had the cushion of an extra 1.5 points on the handicap, too.

Here's hoping Fred gets back on track. I take it he doesn't play for them?

Good spot!

I was, of course, thinking of Sir Freddie Laker, about whom I could probably write a book, he changed the world of travel in many ways. I never even thought about Jim Laker, who I once actually met, & who signed my copy of Wisden, as did both the Bedser Twins.

Apologies to our younger readers, but I just love these blasts from the past.

Just to confirm that Aronian beat McShane in an utterly wonderful game. This leaves the standings at:

A reminder that the scoring system for this tournament is like the football system of 3 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss.

Tomorrow is a rest day for everyone. Our man is at the top and has broken - unofficially - the record for the highest ever rating in history.

Thanks for that Tal, it all makes more sense to me now.

Interesting one at Hereford tomorrow, Loughalder in the 3.10.

AWJ has put him in the Racing Post at 20-1, which looks fair enough given what he's done.

However, he was backed from 20-1 to 7-1 on his comeback in October and Rob Wright, the only national tipster worth listening to, has put him up.

Also, Bet365, who are sponsoring the card, put him in at 11-4. That price looks wrong on the face of it but it's an eyecatcher.

It's unlikely he'll start anywhere near that short but somebody somewhere obv thinks he's capable of better than he's shown so far. I'd expect him to start nearer double figures and he's worth a look.

Thanks Chomps.

If I am around just before the race, & the price seems right, we'll get on.

Good Morning,

If we can get on the Raiders tonight @ 10/11 +10.5 at home vs the Broncos then we definitely have a bet. As far a I can see it´s only still available with Sporting Bet of the bookies that you can get on with.

We need to be careful at this time of year betting teams with nothing to play for against teams with everything to play for but against divisional rivals on national TV they won´t chuck it in completely and +10.5 is a little big imo. The main spanner in the works is if the Raiders start their rookie QB but I don´t see them throwing him in here, it seems like a terrible spot to try him out to me.

Recommend £22 Raiders +10.5 @10/11 with Sporting Bet.

Thanks Kuku. I believe this is Thursday night/Friday morning, rather than tonight.

Looks worth a small investment, but Sporting Bet currently say......

Suggestions for bets on the Third Test between India & England.

Apologies to all - I had assumed it started on Thursday - ALL proper Test Matches should start on a Thursay. It has started. Today is Wednesday.

There had been various suggestions, but I am too late now.

Yeah the OT caveat is perfectly normal. I´ve been laid low with flu these past few days, that´s my excuse for forgetting what day it is lol. Still a good bet I think, although if I don´t even know what day it is?!

[tikay]

Yup, I'm happy with the bet.

Someone said recently on here that "no Team can concede a 10 point start at present". No idea if that is true, but it sounds good.

Pretty sure if we'd taken all >+10's blind this season we'd be in front.
