Southampton/city has had a fair bit of discussion over the last few days.

Reminds me of one of my favourite goals ever. Had the privilege of watching this live at the time.

One bet completed, one winner

Bristol Cty beat Peterborough 3-0 in the fens to cponsolidate their hold on the top of the league one table and produce ad £80 profit

We may need to bank this profit for the end of the season for the big Peterboourgh/Dncaster match bet that is running. Peterborough looked poor. I note they have signed yet another attackintg midfielder (Beautyman) but seemed happy to play last night without a holding midfielder and with various members of the back four doing their own thing

Fair play to Chompy, recognised all this weeks ago

Circumstances have conspired against your SCD cashpoint correspondent this week. I have had difficulty finding much training footage and there was no Waite's Wednesday Warm-up on It Takes Two to get a good look at (this helps give an indication on the Friday show as to how much the dancers have improved over the week). I'm also down in the Big Smoke this weekend, trying to weave my way to winning a poker comp in Kensington. It's "Around the World" week at Elstree, whatever that is. Apparently, that means we have dances representing different countries and not the logical one you'd think of, because that would make sense. Before I start a full scale rant about it having gone right downhill since Sir Brucie left and alienate everyone, let's get on with business:

From what I have been able to see, I am interested in the fact Mr Will Mill and Mr Joke O'Ral have formed different views on who the second favourite for top score should be. They agree on Pixie being favourite, which is fine, but no one wants to back a 2/1 shot when there's got to be an even money chance two or more tie for top score on the night.

Jake danced a Tango in his first dance of the series and he got the highest score on the opening Friday with 28 (7,7,7,7). His technique was good and Craig commented on his staccato (that's the quick, sharp movements in the head and neck that give the tango that unique feel), while Len was delighted with his body contact (really important to get very close in the tango). This week, he's dancing an Argentine Tango, which is a version of the original tango, where the story is a man dancing with a lady of the night in an establishment of lascivious virtue. So, it has a story, which is good for Jake, he has form for doing well in this type of dance and he's coming into form. now that he's got some of those uncomfortable/self-conscious dances out of the way. Would you believe he's dancing to Zorba the Greek? No idea why they've done that. If only there were a country they could set an Argentine Tango in... 7/2 with Choral is attractive.

I'm not enamoured with anything particularly, but that's probably the best of the bets I can see. I am not expecting a 40 tomorrow. None of the training footage suggests it is coming this week, so it'll be someone absolutely nailing the dance to get that kind of score. Simon is doing a Waltz but seems to be sitting a little in the pivots, which is going to be picked up on. He's the main male rival in dance terms to Jake, but I'd not be backing him this week. Mark hasn't been training much again because he's on the Isle of Nolikeynolitey, which is apparently in Tenerife. Salsa looks flat and cumbersome by the standards of his peers. He'll do ok, but he's not finishing top. Caroline has been overmarked for the past two weeks but I'm still opposing her. This could be madness, but there has to come a point where the judges decide to mark what they actually see. Hard to assess how good her Charleston is when I've only seen her dance in trainers (can't get that all important swivel action in trainers). Sunetra dancing a rumba is going to have to pull it out of the bag to be fifth on the leaderboard. Her latin isn't really strong enough (weight not forward enough and not as comfortable on her own as in hold).

It's a tough week for a winner, but I don't think Jake is a bad bet at 7/2. Recommend £20 for interest but no more.

Waite's Wednesday warm up was on thursday's show.

want to watch that and get back to me?

forgot the darts

"Terry Jenkins sealed a 6-3 victory in style as he defeated Kim Huybrechts with a 116 checkout to secure his place in the second round, averaging 100 in the process."

So thats a £10 loser

Jamie Caven 6-4 Ian White

Thats a £10 loser too

and so is this

Jelle Klaasen 6-4 James Wade

[tikay]

Dallas Mavs 106 Toronto Raptors 102

Boo!

We got a losing treble on the darts, which is a shade unfortunate, but worry not, these things happen, keep the valiue bets coming & we'll be fine.

quick nba update as too hungover from last night to do a full one.  Tighty summed up the results.  Portland lost and OKC won which wasn't good for the Portland divisional bet.

Assists - rondo 9 lawson 10 paul 7 Wall didn't play.  No major changes there.

MVP. davies 14 points 11 rebounds 3 steals in a loss.  Not the best of nights for the kid.

Much better look at the training now. Thanks Tighty.

Yes, I think we're on the right guy. It's going to be close at the top, so it's a question of who turns up out of Jake and the two girls who've absolutely definitely never danced before.

Stay as recommended.

Also something to note about that is Westbrook returned for OKC and had a very efficient game, which doesn't bode too well for us, although they still have a lot of catching up to do.

I can almost hear the countdown music when waiting for their trader's decision.

My consistancy has to be admired if not my ability to pick a bloody Fred winner. 0/5.
