Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

Given the swingy nature of Big Brother, I wouldn't be against the idea of laying back the £150 @ 4.

When she hits 4 that is, probably some time today or tomorrow. I'll leave the decision to TV's Tony Kendall though.

As it stands we have £150 @ 8-1, which would return £1,200 profit.

If we lay back the £150 @ 3-1, she'd return £750 for a freebie.

Sometimes housemates change once they know how they're perceived on the outside, the likes of Nikkkki and Ashleeeeeen, but I don't think Gina will tbh.

I didn't get enough on to bother trading - Vegas has cost me here - but it's fine to ghey out in a volatile market if you'd rather.

Thanks.
I think that my Big Brother betting skills are comparable to your spreadsheet know-how.

Couple of thoughts...

Think the max bet amount should be put up to £300 when the bet is for trading purposes.

Any mileage on trying to get a double on the following?

Froomey @ 5/1 for SPOTY and Djok to win Wimbledon @ 8/13.

Pretty sure Murray needs to win Wimbles if he's to win SPOTY. The two bets are, of course, connected but we might be able to get it through.

I think that has some merit, surprisingly, given the source.

Generally speaking, we never have the whole £300 at risk, do we?

[Chompy]

Yuh, there's always a danger the whole three hundo will be lost. It's not an exact science. Pretty unusual though.

The more you can get on the better with bets you're looking to trade back. Getting enough on should be the problem here, rather than restricting yourself to £150.

You have the whole £300 at risk until the lay is placed and matched or until other bets are placed which reduce the liability.

Tried PaddyPower who are best priced on both but not allowed the double.

Nice try.
