Profit on Month £17.66
Outstanding Bets £2813.66https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aia1Hxq-NDNWdFk3UmlTSXMzTjRBTVNfOWRndVFsZHc&usp=drive_web#gid=30A profit of £220 yesterday returned the thread to profit for the month
Two whoppers did the business. As we have just heard the eclectic combination of a cheapwetsuit and Mr Inexhaustible combined for the biggest priced winning tip on here ever (he says without checking) at 150-1 and 125-1 for £133 returned on less than £2 staked. Though I suspect thread's delight pales into insignifcance compared to those not restricted
Phil Taylor stormed to World Grand Prix Success backed pre-competition at 2-1 for a £200 return
Also yesterday Coventry survived a late Sheffield United comeback to add another £20 to the coffers
The losers yesterday?
The £40 Taylor cover bet on Chisnall
Cardiff at Exeter in a really odd game when Cardiff were 36-3 down before they decided to turn up and proceeded to run in four tries
Ben Cohen was not evicted from SCD, though Feltz was, so not all is bad
-£65 on Denver beating the Jags by less than 21.5, meaning the cover won and the main bet lost. When the Broncos went 16 points up with 8 minutes to go I had a few borborygmi, and thoughts of playing the middle and scooping both bets entered my head, but sadly not, the Broncos settled for what they had
Say it quietly, but pick the right quarterback in the draft and the Jags will have a really good team on a two year view. Got some nice players, hamstrung by ineffectiveness elsewhere
The two BE NFL bets cancelled out, one winner, one loser
Onto longer term stuff, not that anyone will read this far with a 150-1 winner in their pocket
Tranmere beat Bradford yesterday.Which was surprising and unwelcome, but Tranmere remain bottom four and it looks a good bet to be relegated to me.
In the NFL we had a huge huge result last night when the Bengals went to Buffalo and won in overtime to go to 4-2 on the season. Baltimore and Cleveland both lost so after six games the Bengals sit atop the AFC North.
The Kansas City chiefs are on pace to effect the biggest ever turn-around from one NFL season to the next. 2-14 last year, now 6-0 after recording 10 sacks in beating the Raiders
Amazingly at 6-0 the Chiefs are still 4/1 to win a four horse race and their division for us. Why? The Denver Broncos who are also 6-0, have the best player in the modern game and a really deep roster.
For both bets, Bengals and Chiefs, we only really scoop if they can somehow overcome the Broncos later in the season
By the by, at Kansas' Arrowhead stadium yesterday the crowd recorded a record volume, at 132.6 decibels, for an outdoor stadium sporting event. Not a home advantage much talked about compared to say Seattle, but when the Chiefs have a good team,it certainly exists
Tennessee scored 13 points in losing at Seattle, which is below what we need for the season points bet but not unexpected at Seattle, another tough place to go and play
News on the QB season bets tomorrow. Brees had a disapponting day at New England, Stafford a good day at Cleveland, Ryan is on a bye
Finally, the Philadelphia eagles beat MRSA inflicted Tampa Bay yesterday to go to 3-3 on the season. Rather precipitously we backed them to win the Superbowl after week one, and they promptly lost the next three. However, the NFC East is so bad that it might only take 8-8 to win the division and get into the play-offs. Once yu make the play-offs, its the team that gets hot that has achance. That is a bet worth watching
