Tips for Tikay

Daily Report, as @ 08.45, Sunday August 5th

Very quiet day on the betting front, more a day for watching than betting.

We placed a £9 Football Banzai which "got cleared off the line", so that was a close run thing. No cigar though. I think the occasional fun fiver or tenner does no harm.

We also had £5 @ 18/1 on the Swansea City Manager to be the first Premiership Manager to leave his post this coming season, no sooner had we placed it then a Post suggested it was a bad bet. Whoops, goodbye £5.

On the very day of her greatest triumph, we dedided to do some tidying up & LAID Jessica Ennis in SPOTY, £65 @ 5.2. Note we had BACKED Miss Ennis to win SPOTY, £62.50 @ 5/1 in May.

In the Mens 100 metres, we have Gatlin @ 25/1 for a tenner, he qualified yesterday for today's Semi-Finals.

In the Basketball, we are on Brazil for a Medal, & they crushed China yesterday, so we are in good shape, & our Basketball Corry, one J Cake, says he is happy with progress.

We have an interest in the Medals Table too, we need 3rd or better, that is looking better by the day, we are in 3rd place & some way clear of 4th & 5th at present.

In the Boxing, we have Tom Stalker @ 6/1, & he won yesterday, though not convincingly, we gather.

We might yet do nicely out of the Olympics, as we have a few other bets in good shape, too.

In golf, we have small interests (£10 each) in Hunter & Mahan in the Bridgestone Invitational.

They began Day Three 17 & 21 shots behind the leader, & finished the day 16 & 20 shots behind. Progress, then, & if it continued for another 3 weeks, we would have a chance.

I don't mean to be pedantic but isn't this the same person

Whoops, good spot Squawky, got me bang to rights there!

At least I now know someone reads my Daily Blather.

I did of course mean Hunter Mahan and Rickie Fowler.

Objection sustained.

PS - was just watching the golf, having got home from a 6 hour round trip to play half an orbit of poker, only to find a 30 minute break in TV coverage!

Furyk is on fire today again. Does everything wrong swing- wise, dresses fashionably unfashionable, and just gets on with his game quietly. Must be worth a few bob, too.

Norway's women take on Spain in Handball at 7:30pm.
Nothing rests on this game apart from, perhaps, an advantageous draw in the knock-out stages.

Hunter & Mahan were a 70s cop duo.

Lieutenant Rick Hunter, former Marine, now a hard-hitting member of the NYPD's war on drug crime.

Sergeant Tom Mahan has seen it all before. 35 years in blue but his toughest assignment is keeping Hunter in line.

But if you think Mahan has it hard with Hunter, you try being a bad guy!

Always enjoy your daily blathering, keep up the good work

woahhh Gatlin 9.82 in the semis of the 100m while looking round Bolt-style, think we're on at 25/1 right?

Yes.

We are, 25/1 for a tenner I think.

Lord Kimber will be King Kimber soon, if his current form continues. Brazil going along nicely in the Basketball, too!

Am temporarily otherwise engaged, so briefly for now, full details later.

I have actioned both those bets, exactly as recommended, except that I doubled the bet size on Sawpit.

Full details and confirmation later, but we are on.

Thanks!

Details please.

Bolt was almost in reverse from about 20 metres out.

There are possibly some doubts about the fav, we are either on at the right(ish) price in what looks a 2 runner event or we have brill value.
