Tips for Tikay

[Doobs]

Yes!

Am up to date, the Bets Thread too.

Just got to put that Marky Darts bet on with Boylesports, which I'll do later.

All plates still spinning merrily.

I initially posted to see what Bazza and Snowball thought. It looked good to me from underneath my flake, but a lot of things do

Do you guys think it's worth backing Taylor @ 2/1* for the World Grand Prix with Boyles, because they're offering moneyback up to €100 if MVG wins.

*Possibly even Lewis @ 10/1, who is in the same half as MVG

Thursday October 10 (7pm)

Second Round

Lewis/Dolan v Pipe/Smith
Chisnall/White v Jones/King
van Gerwen/Part v Kellett/van Barneveld
Hamilton/Huybrechts v Painter/Burnett

OK Marky, we are at last sorted.

BET PLACED

.

I love the way you highlighted that it was only 100 Euros, worked out the exact amount in pounds and still put on the whole £100.  Sort of thing I do.

I was honestly not sure which way to play it!  I blame Marky. Or Chompy.

On the face of it, Taylor is almost a standing dish in these things. The Darts lads think the bet is good, too, so hopefully we'll be OK.

I also have £50 @ 9/4 on my own account, due to some misclickage. Well & truly losing the plot here.

Presidents Cup Update

Not the best of starts for our wager on Hunter Mahan to be Top American.

He & his partner lost their Match, whilst 3 other USA pairings won, so we have a bit of a defecit to overcome.

The Arc draw had happened, low is good.
Orfevre has stall 8, and Ruler of The World 5, which are both positive.  We haven't got Treve, and she has got 15, so this is also positive.  Novellist has 12, which isn't so bad.  I don't know where Ocovango is, but they have had some rain overnight, which is positive for the horse, and his only real hope.  I have done a bit of topping up on Betfair earlier in the week at 65s and 70s hoping for the rain to come.  I think the ground is good for all ours.

merde, ne pas bon

Just found it here

I swear to God this is true - try it.

I typed "merde, ne pas bon" into google, because I wanted to know what it meant.

Inevitably, all the links it produced were in French.....but alongside each, it says "translate this page".

So I pressed the "translate this page" button, & it took me here.....

I should add ne pas bon is "not good", not sure how you got to that page (whistling smiley).

Not even going to try & find what that means.  Think I get the gist of it. I never did French, but, you know, c'est le vie.
