Tips for Tikay

Nittiest bet ever award goes go Mr Power for putting the colour of the Chancellor's tie as being white at 50/1. He would essentially have either to wear a coloured shirt (how utterly grotesque) or wear white with white.

More chance of him doing the whole thing dressed as Rab C. Nesbitt.

I never knew that it is the only time someone is allowed to drink alcohol in the House itself.

Tighty - looks like Bopara bowled his full allocation in today's warm up - that's a change isn't it?  Maybe they are going to use more of him in these slow conditions.

I am thinking of buying his performance quote at 165 (20 points wicket, 10 catch, 1 per run).  I only expect England to get 4 matches but that seems a bit low to me.

Thoughts on how Ravi will get on?

Please add Krishmar Santokie £10 e/w 100-1 Betfred to the T20 World Cup bets

if you can't get 100-1, no bother

WI 3rd spinner, opens the bowling with Badree. Just breaking through, batsman don't know how to play him

We were Restricted to £4 EW, but that's not so bad when the price is 100/1.

Lets say he gets 60-80 runs, which might be conservative

obviously 3+ wickets makes a huge difference


one point to note. england's group is chittagong. generally a bit quicker, dew on the ground. might suit the seamers

the other group is mirpur. dry, spin, no pace (west indies, india etc)

i think i like ravi's chance of bowling 4 overs more in the other venue and not chittagong. he only plays there if england hit the semis

NBA Championship Outright bet OKC Thunder 13/2 with unibet/888.  Recommend £50 win

I backed this via a friends account for the maximum they would allow at the weekend.  They cut the price to 5/1 then we went in again and they went to 9/2.  Now their compiler has shoved it out to 13/2 again for no reason people are queuing up on betfair willing to take 11/2 for decent money.  OKC has a very easy next 6 game schedule where they only play 1 play off bound team whereas the clippers who are chasing OKC face a tough 5 game road trip.  OKC hold the head to head tie breaker over the SA spurs should their reg season records be tied for the crucial number 1 seed and home court advantage in the play offs and the Spurs are well known for resting their older squad at the end of the season over pushing all out for the number 1 seeding.  

I think the favs Miami are finally looking old as a squad (no team in 25 years has made the NBA finals 4 years in a row).  They obviously have the best player in the game in Lebron but Wade's knees are not getting any younger and the bench has really struggled to give Lebron the support he needs in recent games.  Indiana just don't score enough points imo to challenge any of the West Coast rivals they would face in the finals should they beat Miami to in 2 horse race east.  They take a big chunk out of most firms ante post books around 11/4 and 3/1 when they are more accurately priced at 9/2 on bf.  The Spurs are in a similar spot to the Heat in that they are old but everyone has been saying this for years and they were only a miracle 3 point shot from Ray Allen away from being the NBA champs last season.  In what most judges would consider a 6 horse race for the title with the Rockets and Clippers as the 2 outsiders i just think OKC are just too big as they are the squad closest to their peak years as a team and a superstar craving to get out of the shadows of Lebron.

Think Fred's on OKC at 7/1 or 13/2 already Mark, not that I'd oppose pressing....their drift makes no sense, they've been a little indifferent of late but so has everyone else, looks pretty wide open, even my pre-season bets on Brooklyn and Houston are looking a bit lively now, think Brooklyn have the best record of any team in 2014

Think Jaffa got Fred on the Durant express a few months back, or was it just me?

ok no worries didn't realise.  I just had a decent bet at the weekend and they didn't want to lay the rest of the bet and knocked me back on what i asked for but have since decided to move back to 13/2.  They seem an odd outfit unibet.  They seem to be very aggressive price wise but don't seem remotely interested in laying a real bet when they obviously have big opinions on major markets.  Quite frustrating.

I am tempted to back Bulls and Nets are huge prices just because i really don't like the Heat or Pacers in the Leastern conference at their respective prices.

You can buy with Spreadex at 140 with the same points for runs, wickets..

How's our boy doing, Jeff?

I couldn't find any odds anywhere, and haven't seen any really recent articles.

I did see that the team are getting mullered every game, but I guess that works in our favour with him still putting up so many points.
