Tips for Tikay

[Graham C]

Surely Swindon are a bet tonight at 1.8?  Swindon with 6 clean sheets in thier last 8 games, the only downside is that they've lost thier last two away games.  Swindon are top of the league, Barnet 22nd.  Win for Swindon puts them 5 points clear with a game in hand and 8 points clear of third place.   Barnet as we know aint good.

Hi horse,

Im on the iphone so cant quote properly.

In the outright i would usually bet win only but have the same on for the win as an ew bet would have cost me, i would then use the extra win stakes to lay a little if my guy got into serious contention. That way i can take some profit by him being in and around the places even if he doesnt eventually place.

The bet i am mulling over is in the end of first round leader market and i doubt there will be the liquidity in the BF market to play with it in running.

hi mate

you are right there the liquidity is generally ok before the off in that one but not much in running

Been reading this thread every day and loving it, and now it is time for me to put forward my first tip.

Mumbai Indians to win the IPL @ 9/2 (Bet365, Betfred, BlueSquare)
Starts tomorrow with a match between Mumbai and reigning champions Chennai

Mumbai were losing semi-finalists in this last season and then went on to win the 2011 Champions League T20

They have made a number of decent signings, including South African opening batsman Levi, Wicket keeper batsman Karthik and two of the highest IPL Wicket takers RP Singh and Ojha.
Add those to the already impressive squad including Tendulkar, Pollard, Harbihjan Singh and Malinga and in my opinion they should be favourites.
Tendulkar has stepped down as captain to concentrate on his game leaving the way for Harbihjan to captain the side as he did to the Champions League title.

Will leave the bet amount up to you Tikay if you decide to go for it.

Agree that they are super-strong this year, but every team I look at seem super-strong in their own way! Without analysing too much, Bangalore... Gayle/Dilshan/De Villiers...Vettori, Muralitharan, Khan ... i could do the same for several other teams, gonna be some brilliant matches.

In the office my boss did an experiment last year... he put in a few hundred to lay on both teams at 1.33 in 10 games and left the bets... he got matched in 7 out of the 10 games he put it on and came out with some very nice profit. Twenty20 matches best thing for trading ever imo. More swings than a playground.

Something to file under speculative but I couldn't back it and not put it on here given the price Tony. Obv it is unlikely to win but I think its the wrong price as this guy is in with all the has been's and can't win guys, when his career is barely starting.

Try a fiver ew on Patrick Cantlay to be leader after round 1 in the Masters at 300/1 with the Tote, Betfred or Bodog. Basically this guy is still at Uni but is currently the number 1 ranked amateur in the world. It is simply a matter of finishing his schooling before he turns pro.

What makes him interesting is he played 5 times on the main PGA tour last year and ran top 25 in 4 of them, that included a 21st in the US Open. The week after that he got an invite to play in the Travelers Championship on the PGA Tour where he shot a second round of 60, to lead after 36 holes, he then shot around level par for the weekend to fall away. He played one event this year as an invitee in the Nissan Open and missed the cut.

Obviously its a big ask to lead the Masters after round 1 but it is only last years Open championship where an amateur led after round one, when Tom Lewis did it. Lewis then turned pro soon after and won an event on the Euro tour str8 away, so it can happen if the amateur is good.

I think he is in with about the same chance as the guys at 150/1 in the market, so getting 75/1 he finishes in the top 5, I have bet it each way.

I've also thrown a pony at him at 1000 in the outright as it will give something to play with if he does start well.

Tonights games

Leyton Orient v Huddersfield    11/10
Barnet v Swindon   3/4

Pays 2.68 / 1

Huddersfield need a win to keep automatic promotion hopes alive, granted they have drawn LOT of games but tonight is very important.

Swindon I think have lost last 2 games away but they have been difficult, however Barnet cant seem to find anywhere at home right now.

I'm sticking on 200 to win back 735 (pay my UKIPT entry!!)

Afternoon Mr Pie, & welcome to the thread.

I'm a little busy today, so in brief, I am going to back the Swindon part of that "Tip", but not the double. I'm not saying the other bet is bad or good - I have no idea - but I don't want to do Doubles at this stage for a variety of reasons which I will explain tomorrow.

Hope your double comes up!

Swindon are very weak on Betfair.

Probably a mixture of Barnet's improved display against Torquay and Swindon having a touch of promotion gitters.

I couldn't back the Robins at odds on, but obviously hope you win!

[The Camel]

1-0 Swindon

[The Camel]

My man at the game says "it should be 5-0 already, best even money shot I've ever seen"

Although given his track record, we should be lumping on Barnet now.

[The Camel]

2-0

[horseplayer]

Barnet had had 2 good chances at the end of the half.

McLeod probably should have scored with the second.

Let''s not count any chickens!

[The Camel]

2-0 full time.

Onwards and downwards.
