Tips for Tikay

[horseplayer]

If a second thread was started the viewer would still need to be around to view the bet placement pretty quickly. Maybe 70% of bets now are time sensitive and the prices perhaps do not last long.

money back or a free bet?

if it is a free bet, expiry is?

Thoughts on Defoe @ top spurs goalscorer with Bale's impending departure?

Don't see anyone scoring >15 goals this season, so you're pretty much always in contention, backing a proven goalscorer who'll likely get double figures.

4-4-2 much more likely without Bale.

I don't much like saying "we wuz unlucky" in betting or poker. But we were, a bit, after such a bad start.

Coral have pushed Chelski out to 3/1 as a price boost. At the same time that nice man Dale Tempest is on SSN telling us Chelski are now the 9/4 faves with SlyBet

3/1 sounds very, very generous.

thank you.

On Camel's point, anything that keeps admin to a minimum please

Enjoy the thread immensely, but its a challenge in various respects, and the main one is admin

Also true, we bet on a lot of thin markets, & the whole key to the thing is value, & getting the price, something which, when we started, I never appreciated, as I just looked for winners, & had no understanding or interest in "value".

If we had missed the price by, say, 5% (the difference between, say, 11/10 & 21/20) on every bet Fred had placed, Fred would be a net loser, instead of a 3% (or whatever) winner.

Unless, of course, a volunteer stepped forward to Post the bets, which would require them to be Online a great deal. 

My other points, ditto horsey's, still stand of course.

Fair enuf.

Was just an idea, just annoying when good bets are missed!

[kinboshi]

Maybe an idea would be for a standard header at the top of any post that is a suggestion for a bet?

Could be in bold, larger letters, even in a different colour - so that it stands out when people scan through.

Much like the:

ON

that tikay uses when a bet is placed.

[horseplayer]

I would be happy to volunteer if it helped at all

Would not be around all the time but most of it at present

Deffo agree with that!

Just one of those things though.

Well that sits with those who Post the recommends.

Thanks John.

We will mull this over for a few days, & see what ideas surface.

It IS a good point, but it needs looking at a little wider, imo.

A Thread which JUST Posted the bets placed would be a Godsend for outsiders & lurkers. Everyone is welcome, but we want contributors, givers, rather than those who just "take" from it.
