Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

As @ Tuesday morning.

Our only action yesterday was a £30 "fun bet" on the Arsenal match, which failed to oblige. It was actually £30 well spent, & I'm sure I was not the only one on this thread who gleaned some useful info from the boys on the value of these sort of "nonsense" bets. As a bit of fun, fine, but we should never forget that bookies built their empires on sub-markets.

We have three ante post bets on Cheltenham this week - Camel's Al Ferof (today), Chompy's Cloudy Lane (Friday), & Simon G's Top Cheltenham trainer, (Nicky Henderson).

If none of those oblige, we will be in a little bit of a hole.   

I will NOT be available for punting purposes this evening (after 6pm), as I am working tonight.

It's hardly much of a hole given the enjoyment and pleasure generated for loads of the members here as well as yourself.

If you do go busto put up a staking thread for the next £1k and sell at 1: 2.0   Bet you sell out

I can't begin to tell you the fun I have had with the thread, to be honest, Jase. (Great thread, Dewi).

If I do the whole lot, I'd probably do it again.

Hugely entertaining, & it has become "An Idiots Guide to Punting", too.

This is more of a "what do others think" post rather than a tip.
Gareth Mcleary is 11/2 to score at anytime with Paddy Power in tonight's Derby V Forest championship match. He's scored 4 in 7 and is as short as 5/2 in places.

[Josedinho]

Fair point. I was actually shocked to see the number of games he has played as this feels like his breakthrough season.

I really like Basel tonight.....massively underrated team.  Think best way is to bet them +2 on the Asian Handicap at 2.025 but wouldn't put anyone off laying Bayern at 2/9+ (or minus  suppose)

I don't know where or how to find "Asian handicaps" Mr Red, & I have exactly 15 minures before I go Offline for the evening, so I don't have time to search for this right now.

I could quickly & easily lay Bayern on Betfair @ 1.22.

Would that be correct, & if so, for how much would you recommend?

PS - Thanks.

Football betting not my thing but should Bilbao be 15/8 to beat Man Utd tomorrow? Far and away the best team in the first leg and we all know Man U won't be winning this donkament.

Oops....They were unbeaten away since August in all comps and obv beat MU etc.....oh well it happens.  Once upon a time both Tikay and I would have sold them on the spreads so could be worse!!!!

May as well lose by 7, as 1, eh?

And yes, when I was doing the spreads, & I took one of these quirky positions, it used to be eye-wateringly painful sometimes.

Anyway, I was working last evening, & unable to watch, so I was spared the pain. For £22, it was a worthwhile punt. Please don't stop posting these left-field ones, it's all good, & without you experts, I'd be at the mercy of the likes of Chompy, heaven forbid.

Any other views on this?

Chompy has been downgraded from "Fenland Elder" to "Probationary" Status (except for ESC & Celebs On Ice), so this one needs approval by the Elders.
