Tips for Tikay

[BiloxiDesire]

Would be hard to see anything but a 0-0 carrying on from 76 minutes.

Thanks (& WellChief).

In which case, if they play again today, will the bet be "unvoided"?

Sorry that was really poorly worded. I don't think that they can "unvoid" bets. What I was trying to say was if the match continues from 76 minutes at 0-0 then I can't see any team having the impotence to go on and score in the remaining 15 minutes.

I know you meant impetus but that made me smile

Brilliant, it's still early that's my excuse 

Abandonments are most normally replayed in their entirety. Hence current bets are voided

I once was at a non-league match, we were winning 2-0 after 88 minutes and the floodlights went

The game was abandoned, replayed from the start weeks later and we lost

It does seem very odd to re-start the game on 77 minutes.

I can confidently say it won't be. In fact I have never known this to happen

Definitely a no-bet in that case, going to be a very unreliable match if all players have played 75 minutes the day before.

[WellChief]

I was certainly hoping for a voided match, but just going on what I read on betfair forum plus it says on futbol24 website.  When Tikays bet was initially a loser I thought it was funny that the same bet could be settled as a loser, voided and potentially a winner!

Looking ahead to the Six Nations fixtures this weekend, the odds for italy to beat Scotland to me stood out straight away at 6/4. I wouldnt consider Scotland at 4/6 even though they are at home. Also, though it goes against the forum bet of Ireland to win the 6 Nations, and against my own feelings being Irish, I feel England are a good bet at evens to do us over. Thoughts welcome, though I realise the England pick may not suit all??

Thanks spudy.

We need our Rugby chaps to comment on this.

As a bit of a chirp aside, I spent two whole days recently with this chap. Jeez, his upper body looks strong in real life. I decided it would be best if we got along well, & I did not argue with him.


 

I would never back Italy to win away. It's probably a "no bet" but I would lean more to say I think Scotland are value at 4/6, rather than the other way.

Also, Haskell is a super-beast. That's what our bench looks like.

I believe Spanish rules are different from ours. Quote from http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2009/nov/11/latest-abandonments-the-knowledge

Real Madrid v Real Sociedad was abandoned after a bomb threat with only a few minutes to go in December 2004," writes Vincent Ramirez. "Interestingly, Spanish rules are such that the match not technically abandoned, but postponed, with the score kept as such, and only the remaining time to be played. Both teams had to play for a few minutes to finish the game off.

For ice cream detectors, I should just qualify the clause "I would never back Italy to win away".

I mean that in the sense that I would never turn to somebody and say "I reckon they could do it today", which is not the same as betting on them because the price is fabulous. I'd want 3/1 to be recommending a bet, but I'm a nit.

Not a recommend, more of an open for debate...

Premier League Winner market has United (Manchester United that is) at 1/10 with Manchester City at 13/2 in a couple of spots and even 7/1 at bwin.

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/winner

9 points looks a lot with 13 games to go, but then so did 8 last year somewhat later in the season.

The derby game is still to come and we both have similar fixtures vis a vis the top 8 sides from here to the end of the season, we United have Everton on Sunday and we know how that worked out last year, and also still have a trip to Arsenal and to entertain Chelsea.

They City have Southampton next weekend and could narrow the gap before the United game and although they too have to play Chelsea at home and to travel to Everton and Tottenham it seems likely there will be a number of twists and turns between now and April 6th which is the next time the two teams kick off simultaneously.

The rest of April could be tough for United if City win the derby even if that just narrows the gap to 6.
United are away to Stoke, home to Villa, away to Arsenal whilst City have a trip to Tottenham sandwiched between home games vs West Brom and West Ham. Easy to see United getting 4 points from that set whilst City get 6 or 7

Worth considering?

[tikay]

Wortth considering, yes, everything is.

Personally, I think United are old hat at sealing the deal (the exception proves the rule), & I can't see anyone stopping them this year, especially as they have Mr Mentum onside.

As to City - & I do not want to get into one of those endless & pointless football debates that nobody can ever win - I like Mancini very much, he amuses & pleases in so many ways, but I'm just not sure he has what it takes to be a consistent top Manager. You will have noted that under his stewardship, Mr Balotelli scored only once or twice, but he scored twice on his Milan debut over the weekend.

Man-management is a crucial part of Management, & Mancini keeps finding banana skins. (Tevez was another). Sir Alex has occasional problems with his boys, too, but there is only one boss at United, & if the players get out of line, they soon know the score.

For me, not a bet, but the Football chaps will know better.

[Matt50]

Not endorsing it as a bet either but worth noting that City have no European distractions.
United being so far clear may consider the champions league games more important at the moment and their league form could suffer from that. Just a thought.

[youthnkzR]

I'm not claiming to be an expert by any means - however I really can't see Fergie allowing Man U to throw this away, especially after last season. (+ Utd now have a much stronger team than last season).

[DungBeetle]

I also think Man City are significantly worse than last year.  All the freshness has gone.  Silva and Aguero just look flat compared to 12 months ago.

Im afraid I only flirt in and out with this thread but I seem to recall there was a 2nd series of "splash" bet

Not sure if it pays when "aired" or confirmed, but this looks positive

Thanks Guy.

Yes, we learned that a week or two back, & it was officially confirmed on Twitter yesteday.

However, as of 9am today, we have yet to be paid by the Bookie. It may take a while yet, too.

Incred comeback for Seabass just now in a two-mile hurdle.

He started favourite for the National last season and that's obv the target this time.

Suggest £10 @ 20-1 (general).

[exstream]

Man U have Everton this weekend then 3 days later a clash with Real Madrid don't they?
Maybe rested team vs Everton.
