Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

I really like Marco Fabian, the Mexican striker, in today's game v North South Korea. He's scored 13 in 12 at this level, the Mexico team has been put together for this tournament and played together a long time, and Gio Dos Santos of Spurs has been left on the bench, which means Fabian will be the main man for Mexico, who are decent outsiders for this tournament. 13/2 with 365, a cheeky 20 quid could get us out of it, if we're in it yet

Hi Jeff,

I was unavailable & missed this, though I note the score was 0-0. Did Fabian score?

Don't suppose you remember "Fabian of the Yard"? One of THE great TV Series. I think it may have ended now.

He missed a sitter with 10 mins to go but wasn't that impressed with the Mexicans, don't think u missed out, tho his price was too big I would maintain.

Erm, Fabian of the Yard? Think it must have been on ITV while I was watching BBC....only commoners watch ITV see

Always good to see the captain belting out the national anthem...Giggs...silent.

BTW judging by the picture, I'd venture Fabian of the Yard was the story of the first days of the Tips for Tikay thread. No "odds checker.com" in those days; if you wanted to know what price Faustian Dream was in the 3.35 at Haydock back then, you jolly well went to the library.

Been away from this thread for a while, but very nice to see it still going strong.

Just a reminder to get on a bet that I remember Dubai recommending a while back; Taylor is playing White in the Darts tonight, and you can back White over 92.5 at 1.9ish (I've searched Oddschecker and Easyodds, you can get 5/6 with BetFred or 1.9 with Betfair [better to use Fixed Odds section to get a bet on]).

As Dubai pointed out before to us, people who play against Taylor generally have a higher-than-their-average average, as they generally have fewer shots at doubles. I have to admit I don't know a whole lot about White, but he looked impressive in the last game that I watched him, especially on checkouts. If somehow he manages to push Taylor in this match I can't see him averaging under 93, but if he's blown away, as expected, he should have few enough chances on doubles for the bet to come in.

This bet worked beautifully for the thread originally, hope some people here can make some profit out of it again.

EDIT: Just noticed that the BetFred price quoted 5/6 is for over 93.5's, obv better to go with Betfair's 92.5's at 1.9. Would definately suggest going for the BF sportsbook rather than exchange, as you'll struggle with the current strength of the market to get a bet on.

[tikay]

Any views on Sighmuns suggestion, please. The logic is proven, but I don't know the player, or whether 5/6 equates to good value, which is key to the bet.

[Dubai]

Ive backed it but only just got indoors so hadnt put it up, id say its defo backable for the thread

[Sighmuns]

Looks to me like he averaged 95.4 in his last match against Van De Voort, which he won 10-5

[Dubai]

Great 9 darter that with the switch on the 2nd throw

[tikay]

Am on that White Darts bet, details later, am currently 3 tabling poker, so a bit pulled out. Old peeps struggle to multi-table and mess around with punting......But we ARE on.

Thanks.

Read an interesting piece on the 200m individual medley betting, where Phelps and Lochte are thought to be very close to equal. The way the schedule has been worked out, Lochte is set to be swimming in the 200m backstroke final just half an hour before the medley, so the 10/11 on Phelps looks very generous.

Lochte beat Phelps to win the world title last year so has previous, but the schedule is bang against him here. Phelps, needless to say, is the greatest ever Olympian, with 14 gold medals so far #form

White's last 4 Major tournament averages
95.4, 92.84, 91.98 and 90.02
Looks a good bet to me.

Just wondering but the SPOTY bets that were discussed earlier in the thread about Wiggins being a lay at the odds he was, is Andy Murray good odds at 14-1 (skybet) to win worth having a look at, if he was to win a Gold Medal (probably his best chance of winning something) and with his final in Wimbledon not catapult him in front of wiggins??

Just a thought??

Not sure on the price but he has really tough route to win Gold.

He has to play Wawrinka in the 1st round, could also have to beat Gasquet, Berdych, Djokovic & Federer to win.
