Tips for Tikay

[scotty2hatty]

Throwing darts, gutted Tennis Cap couldn't hold.

[tikay]

No damage so far, our only interest was the Free Bet.

We have £10 EW @ 20/1 Utopie des Bordes in the next.

Lions captain

A Lions Captain has to be sure of his place in the Test team

There are 4 clear candidates

Robshaw at Evens

Pro: Could lead a Grand slam winning team tomorrow
Cons. English/Gatland. Not sure to get in at 6 or 7 ahead of O'Brien/Warburton/Tipuric/Wood/Ferris especially on hard ground in Australia.
Probably a midweek team captain

O'Driscoll at 3-1

Pro: Respected. Should be a shoe-in for Test Team
Cons: 34, injury prone. A back. Captains most often forwards

Warburton at 5-1

Pro. Gatland's captain before. Back in form
Con Does he get in at 7 over Sean O'Brien?

Best at 10-1 plus

Pro Should be first choice Test Hooker
Con Irish team not gone so well this year

Of the others Ryan Jones is out for 8 weeks injured. Not a sure thing for the Test Team anyway. Can't see any of the others being realistic propositions

(edit Alun Wyn Jones maybe, but Gatland tore into him when he got sin binned against England 2 years ago, said he "cost them the game", not sure Gatland would have him as captain)


Of the leading fancies I far prefer Warburton at the price to Robshaw. Warburton had a world class game changing performance against Scotland, and could well dominate on the floor tomorrow against England

If Wales win, his price won't be 5-1 for long

Recommend £10 Warburton at 5-1 Lions Captain Ladbrokes or Blue Square

I like the idea of Warburton far more than Robshaw, who should never again captain any team after his decision to go for goal against South Africa. I did like my idea of Jones as a team captain but 8 weeks out makes him a no-no. He may take the safe option of O'Driscoll but  he will never last the pace out there. I had not heard that story of Wyn Jones but that must count against him. So go for Warburton and put me down for a dart on Heaslip @ 33-1 who was as short as 5-1 before the 6 nations and despite some average performances I would still have in my team as No 8.

Warburton as per His Tightiness
Heaslip £5 @ 33-1Bet Victor

Rory Best WTF priced from 3-1 to 14-1 !

We have £75 total invested in the Gold Cup, on three animals, Long Run, Captain Chris, and Sir Des Champs.

We have a £25 lay on Long Run @ 5 which has not been matched, Long Run now 5.9 to lay on Betty. Should I take this off, or leave it?

[atdc21]

Gotta agree with karabiner , cracking race .

[Simon Galloway]

And Bobs Worth went 9/2 pre race into 7/2 BP just by watching.

Couldn't even swing it with a weather chart!

William Hill just made another Priority Offer for the Gold Cup.

I took £20.

Do we want this for Fred?

Confirmed.

This is ON.

Confirmed as a Fred Bet.

Ooh, forgot we had this!

Think we just about covered ourself on the race, as we also had the £25 lay on Long Run.

We must be up on the race?  Laid off £25 win on Long Run, got it for the place at quarter of 10/1 and backed Bobs Worth late?
