Tips for Tikay

[Omm]

Thin I know but on ft table in 125 at dtd and no sign of the ppv on the TV. Redic scenes. Biggest bet of the day after Rory and I can't  watch it

There are no words.......

I went AWOL all evening, pokering, once Rory had got that Golf gig wrapped up. Gutted that I missed all this WWE stuff, gutted. 

[BigAdz]

Sad to report, sounds like we did actually miss a beat here. 

My little nephew just told me the result and he didn't even watch it. He said is was obvious Cena was going to win it because he is already defending his title in the next major PPV against Brock Lesnar(don't worry TK), it's already been advertised!

Just need one of the WWE guys to confirm he did win now, but if so, that was buying money....all £1.46 we could have got on, of it.

Evening Mr T.

The ATP at Gstaad starts tomorrow and looks especially weak, and likely for an upset. The top half of the draw is the easier half and I think the young Austrian player Dominic Thiem could make his breakthrough here, and at a decent price. It is only a matter of time before he wins an ATP 250 event and it could well be this week.

Suggest £10 e/w @ 16-1 with betfred or Ladbrokes.

I had to google the golfer, I'd forgotten about him.

Sad to report, sounds like we did actually miss a beat here. 

My little nephew just told me the result and he didn't even watch it. He said is was obvious Cena was going to win it because he is already defending his title in the next major PPV against Brock Lesnar(don't worry TK), it's already been advertised!

Just need one of the WWE guys to confirm he did win now, but if so, that was buying money....all £1.46 we could have got on, of it.

I'm sure if Tighty had been around, we'd have had an interest, though as it was only available on Sky & PP (?), we'd only have been able to get pennies on.

I feel a little bad that I'm so anti WWE type stuff & was a bit stuffy about that "fun" bet last night, so by way of an explanation....

Partly, I think, it was because it followed 4 days watching one of the great sporting events ever, The Open Golf.

Real skill, amazing skill, with extraordinary ability levels by every single player. Played, & supported, in THE most beautiful sporting spirit. The players are scrupulously honest, & the spectators warm & gracious to every single player as they marched up the 18th, & generally, around the course. 200,000 spectators attended, & barely 2 or 3 misbehaved.

When they cheered Tom Watson & Sergio Garcia up the 18th, it was spine-chilling. And how gracious Garcia was in defeat, despite, presumably, being devestated that he was not quite good enough. Only in golf......

The TV coverage, even though we can't all like all the commentators, each to their own & all that, was of exceptional quality, & we got 11 hours per day, live. What a feat of logistics it must be organising that lot. No adverts, either. Ken Brown & Peter Alliss (despite a few minor errors from Peter) were imperious, but they were all top notch & entertaining. Peter, of course, has great appeal with the "recreational" viewers who make up most of the audience. If we'd been forced to listen to it on the wireless, on R5, we'd have had to cope with the condescending blather of Mr Inverdale. Please Lord, spare me that.

And the players? Jim Furyk just appealed so much, with his old-fashioned clothes, plain plimsolls & high-waisted trousers, & dear Fluff shuffling around behind him, barely able to walk nowadays. And Jim just would not go away, nothing spectacular, but always a threat. He should be backed EW in every Major.

Tom Watson, too. 64 years old, & no longer has much length, & his legs look a bit dodgy these days. Just plonks it up the fairway, dead centre, plops it on the green, 2 putts, move on. He ended with a 68. What a wonderful Ambassador for golf he is, & even after his magnificent career, he still respects the game so much.   

Rickie, what a future he has, & he seems a really decent man.

Dustin surprised me on the closing holes, perhaps, as Ralphy suggested, he was fatigued for some reason.

Darren, minus 4 stone, kept plugging away, too.   

Woods? What a thing, watching the former great man struggling to string 2 good shots together. OK, he was the architect of his own downfall, with his indiscretions, but as an exercise in psychology, he is intensely interesting to watch. What a battle must rage between his ears. He used to blow these fields away, now he is an also-ran. That must feel pretty bad. 

And of course, Rory. A remarkable talent, but the wheels came off after he changed to Swoosh, & he was written off by all & sundry last year, & was roundly mocked when he imploded in a previous Major. But he has 3 Majors in the bag, & is just a boy in golf terms, 25 years old. Curiously, & deliciously, his ex, Miss Caroline Whotsit, also won yesterday. His shots just struck me as so brave, he attacked every hole bar, sensibly, the last. What nerves of steel he must have when the margins between a great & a terrible shot are wafer thin.

Fred won a few bob too, thanks to a team effort by so many people, & we ended up blending the best mix of Team Maths & Team Research & Golf Know-How. Both, when blended, can be right. Or wrong.

Absolutely loved the whole thing, & was on an adrenelin high, after what turned out to be a bit of a twitchy Day 4, with Sergio snapping at Rory's heels.

And before I could draw breath, we got onto WWE.....bit of a sea change in every sense, that. Each to their own is good.

What was it like to watch him, Ralph?

Arbboy's Tournament report

Was down in London all week seeing my imaginary girlfriend, but played the Online day one of the WPT125 as I had won 27 satellite seats with superb play, not only flummoxing my opponents with my superb tactical nuances but also talking to them in the chatbox so much that they just wanted to log off

I reached DTD last night confident of victory, had backed it with Wadey and laid it with Frankie for a nice green-out, whilst downing my sixth pint of stella, apt name for a stellar player

It was never in doubt. Even had time to lay the field in the WWE last night and get £37,000 on Cena to win at 1/5 (mugs, should have been a 1/20 shot) with Paddy Power. No one remembers now that Denise sacked me in 2002 for thinking it was real, oh no. She won't mock my Rey Mysterio masks now will she?



I sailed through the final table. Maria was agog with my wit and joie de vivre. I think she was really impressed with my knowledge of BAGs dogs, particularly the outside bias at Sunderland on wet Thursday nights. Perhaps that's why she blinded off, asleep, in 7th

I crushed heads up, won £5,300, went back and had a six hour skype conversation with redarmi about Conference North poisson distributions, had a quick flick through my Suar Panini stickers, and stuck it all on laying Wilkinson top 3 SPOTY.

There was apparently a rather boorish comment made by one of the spectators as Rory stood at the first tee yesterday about Miss Wozsniaki. One of those he can't have failed to have heard. But, he just stared straight ahead and pinged his drive straight down the fairway.

How'd you like dem apples, sir?

A chap at work recalled to me this morning that he went to watch the Irish amateur championship a few years ago, where the final pairing was Rory and Lowry. I assume that was 2006ish? I told him he should have got on to Ladbrokes...

Ha, you don't miss a single thing, Rich. Good spot.

Grand report, too.

We could have a Chompy version, but what are the chances of him ever winning a Tourney?

PS - Well done Mark.

He did eventually snap with that lad before teeing off on the 16th (?), & the kid was removed from the premises with alacrity & stuff like that.

Just a quick cheers to all those that put some tips up for the open, took a few of them on along with the offers mentioned in here and actually enjoyed sweating the golf which I wouldn't normally. Good work
