Tips for Tikay

Willets is one of the rare breed in recent history of cabinet ministers who are believed to have genius IQs. The sad part is, unlike France, we don't want intelligent people running the country; we want charisma.

No - there is no liquidity which is probably why they have made the rick in the first place they actually had to compile a price instead of copying it!!

Ooooh!

Not sure if Bazza has a thought on this but I think the 7/4 Bet365 on Craig McEwan to win the Prizefighter tonight is pretty good.

Was with Freddie Roach for years fighting on Golden Boy promotion cards against some real class opponents.  I think he is in a different league to this lot, but outside boxing circles nobody will have heard of him.  interested in Bazza's view but I see him walking this.  He is not a banger and over 3 rounds I dont see any of them outpointing him.  Second favourite has only boxed twice, he would not be near a ring with McEwan at this stage outside of this sphere.

McEwan's CV is head and shoulders above everyone else in the lineup but I couldn't back him at 7/4 in this format. I'm not sure his style is suited to it and he has previous for gassing. The draw hasn't been kind to him either. If I had to have a bet on it I'd be more interested in Carslaw at 7/1. Mansouri at 14/1 might be a bit big too seeing as he is in the weak side of the draw.

The Samuel Johnson Book thing.

Pinker's tome is best priced now @ 4/1.

Too late, or still worth a small investment?

I watched a programme on TV called Real time with Bill Maher.  A humorous look at the US political scene. They had a man from a company that analyses all the polls over there. He gave the figure that his company was 93% certain that Obama would win. He also said that it was possible that he could win the election but get less than 50% of the votes cast. He also said that the only real worry was that if the white vote realised that he was going to win with less than 50% of the white vote and there could be a reaction to this.

The Poo-pertrator's mate? Don't think so.

As long as the weather is OK round your house then I think Harlequins to win 40-20 ish- but less confident than last nights game.

Nope, no time constraints today. I'm doing some intermittent online stuff next door all day and evening, puff and stuff,  so I'll be tethered to the computer throughout.

Look forward to your Breeders Cup musings.
