Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

OK, no bimbling or bombling, time for a ESC punt.

I'm not convinced Sweden is right for the Euro weirdos and not surprised the word is that rehearsals aren't going great.

It can be laid at 1.17 to be out of the top ten. France were shorter last year and that crashed.

It pays to be aggressive on ESC markets so...

Top ten market - lay £300 at 1.17, risking £51.

Also, lay £200 @ 3 in the outright market, risking £400. This is for a trade further down the line. Be surprised if it doesn't hit 5+ before the night. Sigh, I miss being able to get in on this action.

If you don't like this one or don't want to tie up four hundo, just go with the top ten lay @ 1.17.


Euro weirdos...

Jeez, are you sure?

Current prices are......

Top Ten (lay) 1.17

Outright (lay) 2.92.

Seriously, how strong are you on this? Seems a huge risk for very small upside to me?

I know you are a TV addict & ESC buff, so I'll get on, but I just need a little nudge first.

I guess if you are right, & we also have the winner (Russia) backed alrerady, we'd be in clover. All seems a bit iffy to me. What happened to Fixed Odds Football Coupons & all that stuff we used to have, back in the day. Was so simple to do my bollox then.

Bring back Littlewoods Football Pools, I say.

Seems to be a bit of confusion here. You're not risking £300, you're risking £51. You're laying at 1.17. Which is effectively the same as backing at 5/1.

Go to the ESC top ten market on Betunfair. That's special bets - general - ESC - top ten, then click lay next to Sweden. Enter 1.17 as your price and type 300 into the amount box. Your liability will be £51. That's all your risking. £51 to win £300.

Unf most of the 1.17 has now disappeared.

The other bet, the outright lay of Sweden at 3, is a trade. Leave that one if you like.

A bit of confusion?

Sigh @ this.

We are on, or some of it. That's a very little some of it, if I read this correctly.

Sweden, Top 10, LAY.

22.5 is too skinny for me, I am afraid
Nice conditions for our 3-0 series bet though.

You are the Official Cricket Corry, so "no bet" I'm afraid.

[tikay]

regardless of whether the pitch is flat or not these overhead conditions look ideal for england


i would not want to have day 4 or day 5 tickets

i have played small at under 22.5 runs slightly to high still

Good luck horsey.

Wpwp, you've left the other £262 there waiting to be matched. That's fine, fingers crossed it will be matched before 8pm Tuesday, but just keep an eye on it. If it's not matched by Tuesday, take it down imo.

[Simon Galloway]

Sigh @ this.

3/1 for Chanderpaul top 1st innings Windies looks big to me.

Can't find his stats quickly but he is class and has played well in England before.

Darts tonight - Hamilton looks a big price to me at 15/8 with Sporting Bet.  He is in form after a very strong finish to the Premier League and despite being bottom at one stage was unbeaten in his last 5 to finish 3rd and qualify for the playoffs.  Also in recent h2h Hamilton has had the edge.  He beat him in the World Matchplay and World Chmpionships (he was the dog in both of those matches as well) and in the group stages he drew 7-7 and won 8-4.  

Recommend £80 @ 15/8

That's when ESC Semi-final number one appears on BBC3. Hopefully with no Claudia Wankleman this year. The market will probably be taken down and re-opened but remove your remaining lay then just in case.
