Tips for Tikay

[Chompy]

Good work Rich, thank you - I really missed those Reports, & I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Absolutely. Some of us appreciate the work that goes into these.

Absolutely this.

Has anyone been slagging them off then?!

Such an idiot

Roffle! Such a troll!

Been a while since I've put a MMA bet up but if I remember correctly it's a winning sport for us, albeit with a tiny sample, so I thought I may as well start throwing the odd one up here again. I absolutely detest the thought of people losing money backing my stuff so please keep stakes small.

The bet is for Soa Palelei to win in the 1st round of his fight this Friday (UFC Fight Night: Rockhold vs. Bisping) with Walt Harris and it can be backed at 7/4 with 888, Unibet and 32red according to Oddschecker. Actually, do we have any of those? If not, one of the main stream operators may open at the same price as the week goes on. Victor goes 11/10 which is my kind of feeling of the right price.

As a background to my MMA betting, I've been a fan of the sport for many years and have watched thousands of fights, and previously wrote for one of the top UK MMA sites, as well as my work with Betpal. It's still a developing sport and I feel I perhaps have a small edge in knowledge which allows me to pick out some decent bets.

Palelei and Harris are heavyweights, a funny division with very few real quality fighters, and neither of these guys are likely to be challenging the upper echelons of the division any time soon. In fact, Harris was recently released before winning one fight outside the UFC to make his return.

Anyway, that's all mumbo jumbo. Palelei is a worthy favourite, and as short as 4/9 in places. He was won all of his 21 career wins inside the distance so my opinion was that if looking to back the Australian we should look at the sub markets: evens to win by TKO/KO and the aforementioned 7/4 to win in the first round. He has won 17 times by TKO/KO and 16 times in the 1st round throughout his career so that alone has me favouring the R1 bet at the prices. Plus, he's not renowned as the most blessed cardiovascular-wise so if it escapes the first round he may be in trouble.

Harris is a better athlete who has a fair amount of power himself but not technically superb so I see the fight playing out with Palelei taking the American down when he goes for a power strike early and from there Palelei will use his superior ground game to work himself into a position to do damage with his vicious ground and pound. Palelei cuts weight to make the 265lb limit so good luck getting him off you.

The fight is something like 8/13 to finish in the first round so like the 7/4 for Palelei to be the one to do it. Recommend £30.

Morning Scott, & thanks.

We had some difficulty getting on, but managed to get £19.35 on @ 13/8 with PP which is, in itself, quite a result.

Is this televised?

BET PLACED

Friday evening on BT Sport I believe.

No wonder this place is dying a slow death.

If you have an opinion and its not the same as "The Clique", you're a Troll. Very grown up.

I often wonder if your the same nice bloke I met in Vegas a few years back Graham, because you weren't such an ****hole then.

The internet. Its a wonderful thing.

[TightEnd]

Pack it in everyone please.

It dies a slow death because people don't want to post when people ruck/troll other posters

Lets get back to the sport (and miscellaneous) please

I think Palace to win at 11/1 away to Man U is a good price for a bet.

Similar reasons why I thought we would score away to Everton. Very open at the back, and we have a lot of pace that can punish. The thought of Bolasie teeing off on Valencia is an interesting one. I fancy the Zaha vs. Shaw one too to favour the former.

We also have a decent defence on an "on" day, as was seen away to Everton and Arsenal.

Scored 9 in our 5 prem away games this season.

At the odds given I think we should be at most 8/1 and below. Of course they have an attack force that can hurt anyone and they often play well against us, but I still think it's value.

Take it or leave it, I don't really mind, I just wish everyone a nice day really . Suggest 20 quid with betvictor.

As I was watching Palace v Sunderland I was thinking they might give United a good game. They looked very dangerous going forward. But Jedinak out. Also Zaha can't play against parent club. 2 very big drawbacks.

Semi-serious question: do cheerleaders HAVE to have long hair?

I appreciate there are worse requirements in some quarters (as some of the Buffalo Jills will no doubt attest to), but that is the most striking feature of that photo...well for me anyway...
