Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

Total stakes = £1,377 , Total Returns = £1,226, Loss = £151 (excludes unsettled returns, if any, but includes cost of them)____________________________________________

Isn't this a weird way of looking at it/reporting it?  Talk about glass half empty!  All you need to measure is your entry point and your exit point?

You started with a bag.  You are currently showing a profit of £226 AND you have some results to come.

Very probably.

I have been waiting, since the thread started, for some bugger to show me a nice easy way to keep the running totals & profits/losses, set out in a better way.

Not one person cane up with the suggestion of how to set it out, including a sample example. Until now........

Thanks Simon!

he's not showing a profit of £226 though, his returns are £1226, not his balance. 

pretty standard way of setting it out is being used, total investment minus total returns = total profit/loss.

I thought exactly that, but was a bit nervous of saying as much in front of such a seasoned & degen audience, for fear of looking even dafter than I am.....

At present, as I see it, we are in a small loss. Lot of fun for it though, so good value. Need to do better though, this is the creme da le creme of tipsters, & we ain't exactly minting it. I've not even had my SkyBet account restricted yet.

Still, after today's Golf, who knows?

More money buying if you fancy it.

2/5 (corals) Valencia to Beat Stoke tonight.

We've taken the reserves to valencia, completely given up on the tie for some reason.

They are going to batter us, should be 1/6.

Man U/ Valencia double maybe good/better value?  Can't see Man U losing either.

I couldn't tell, without wading through it!  Which defeats the purpose of a summary.

Starting balance = £1000  (this is static until such times as you withdraw some or reload)
Current balance = £xxx     (cuurent balance minus starting balance = profit [or loss, if negative]) - ldo
Value of open bets = £yyy  (this is for info only and just gets included in the current balance as each bet gets settled)

Probably, yes, I just wanted to (try to) be as transparent as possible. It ended up reading like a Virgin Group balance Sheet......

I'll simplify it going forward.

Could I advise a small stakes bet on Van Barneveld most 180's in this weeks darts @ 12/1 with Skybet, standout price for you.

Has had 4 & 5 in the 2 weeks so far and is playing better than he has for a while, drawing with Lewis & Whitlock 7-7.

Plays Taylor tonight so we need a close game with all 14 legs played if possible, but the price is certainly too big.

Thanks!

It is now generally a top-priced 10/1 - is that still value?

Also, how much do you suggest - £25, £50?

Belfast loves Barney and when I was at this last year a fair few sections of the crowd were booing taylor and giving him a hard time. I think it will be a close match between those two tonight

I wouldn't suggest going crazy, £20 at 10's would be fine, don't take lower than 10's imo.

No sooner the word.......

So, will be able to watch a bit of this, with the Argos/Nandos crowd, in between watching the Golf, with only the occasional "IN THE HOLE" to jar. No golf bets today, either. 

[Simon Galloway]

Recommend a £20 last longer bet @ Luton G tonight.

It's stealing money.

If you are about Tikay a bet on England to beat Pakistan in the Cricket in running looks very tempting.

They've bought the boundary ropes in and its a fairly flat pitch and getting flatter, par score from a much shrewder judge than me was reckoned to be 170. They look likely to get between 140-150.

Anything 4/6 + about now looks a good bet.
