Tips for Tikay

[The Camel]

World Snooker

This has to be one of the best 1/4 final line ups ever imo.  All 8 players are smoking.  I think the standard of play is off the charts and i am really tempted to lay Ronnie at the prices for the title.  He seems very very short to me given how well the whole field is playing.  Ronnie can easily throw in a bad session which could easily be enough to lose any game against any of these guys the way they are playing.   Ding trump has the making of one of the best 1/4 finals ever imo.

Anyone got any thoughts?

I don't think Ronnie is playing that great. Missing lots of easy balls and generally looking disinterested. Might be because he has won so easily so far of course.

I can't see any way McGill can be 3/1 to beat Murphy. That looks a monstrous price to me.

I agree tbh but i am on McGill at 90/1 for the title so don't need an interest in that one.  I have just looked at the Hawkins Robertson prices which is an arb currently

http://www.oddschecker.com/snooker/world-championship/neil-robertson-v-barry-hawkins/winner

I have spent the last 30 mins in my head making a case for backing both at the prices but i can't pull the trigger on either.  One of them has to be value.  Which one?  I was at the cruciblenfor the whole final the year betfair sponsored it when Hawk put up the greatest performance ever imo as a loser in a final at the worlds against Ronnie who no one in the history of the game would have gotten close to over 35 frames that year the way he played.  I felt for Hawkins winning so many frames against a 1000% motivated Ronnie and still getting destroyed.  I really want to back the Hawk at 16/5 but Robbo is smoking!!! help!

I thought Barry looked very twitchy in the last frame v Allen and even more so as Selt came back against him.

Maybe now he's fulfilled his expectations and made the quarters he'll be more relaxed now and play stressfree snooker...

But still, I'd have to play the 1/3 Robertson given the choice.

Snap i just can't get away from backing him at 1/3.  I keep trying to talk myself out of it but i think he is smoking right now.  You have convinced me now.  If spreadex weren't 1/3 i would already be bashing loltotesport up for their 1/3!  I am not a fan of taking on the spread boys generally.

I think Spreadex fixed odds are just copied from Betfair.

Impossible given punters on the exchange are asking for 3/10 now.  They are quite opinionated on a lot of stuff but it is impossible getting a meaningful bet on so i have no idea why they take such opinions.  I give up trying after getting 3 accounts closed in a month 2 years ago betting stuff they clearly 'want' to lay but when you offer them a bet they are not interested.

Did you try ringing up for a bet?

They have laid me fixed odds on the phone when my max bet is pennies online.

Lolz so that will take totes port from a 1999 website to a 2004 style website I assume!  Have they even got 247 lol traders yet or do they still operate a 1999 style rota where they go home after the last football match/horse or dog race at 945pm leaving all the overnight usa prices on site then open up in the morning and see how much they have knocked out on market movers to arbers?

I did find it quite interesting that they were trumpeting a common wallet in 2015. Surely they all have common wallets (Ladbrokes excepted, of course) by now?

PS - have you been up all night, do you never sleep?

PPS - Any news on Wiggins?

Haha I have just woke up. Just having breakfast! 6 hours sleep is plenty. Not sure on the delay announcing wiggins and the rest of the nba season awards. Quite frustrating waiting I agree.  Should def be sometime this week I think.  You itching to get the profit into April?

Ha!

We don't know for sure he will win yet......

But no, not really, as you know, it makes no odds what the numbers are on any given month, as long as they are going the right way long-term. Psychologically though (& maybe vanity) it is nice to see steady profits each month, rather than huge swongs. My old Chairman used to say "I like boringly predictable, don't be giving me surprises".

We are north of £700 for April right now, but we have some big numbers imminent, both ways. I'd happily take £700 for April now, & get May off to a flyer, in truth.

Plenty of lumpy stuff will need settling soon. All that NFL Draft stuff we splurged out on yesterday will fall in May (I assume it's announced after Midnight), Wiggins, various meaty NBA stuff, Burnley, Arsenal etc, & all the football season bets etc.

Scary, but quite fascinating. I'm easily fascinated. The numbers scare me a little bit, in a nice way, bit like rollercoasters are scary nice.

I almost get as much satisfaction from monitoring the numbers as the bets themselves, I have a bit of stat OCD.

Oh, & don't forget the Royal Baby, & that silly Britain's Favourite Bird nonsense.

It is a terrible time cash flow wise for myself and many other pro punters who dabble so much in ante post stuff across sports.  Don't think I have ever had a bigger percentage of my bankroll tied up in ante post stuff as I have had the last three weeks across numerous sports,  the election falling next week just makes it even tougher than it already was.

It's really hard to understand why a professional cricketer would do such a thing in those circumstances, I mean, it makes abso no sense whatsoever.

The dressing room must have been a tad frosty afterwards.
