Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

Goalllllll.

OK, a shilling even.

That was a gift...but how about this for a true definition of a gift of a goal.

Belgium - 2de Klasse (Table)
 
Sint-Niklaas   0 - 1   Roeselare

I'd be interested to see your search history Phil, how the hell did you "happen" to spot that?!

Tikay if you are around at Midday tomorrow then Hills are doing their priority price, they are sponsoring the Grand Slam of Darts which starts tomorrow evening and I have a feeling they are going to offer Taylor to win the tournament at a tasty price although it will be £10 max bet.

Top man, thanks, I'll be here at Midday, let's hope we can get on.

Hopefully, we can find a bit of value in the Darts Grand Slam thingie, & have a few bets. Darts betting is pretty good fun, & we seem to do OK.

I know its generally way to the poorhouse backing 7/2 favourites in 23 runner handicaps but Henry Cecils First Mohican looks a worthy fav. Get the lot on.

!

Thanks Biddy.

I'll need some views on that, but if the gee gee experts give us the nod, we'll have a small interest.

Not an expert but 16 years since SP fave has won this race. (prepares for incoming posts on why history is bunk)

Thought you was holidaying in Vegas for Deep Stacks Tony?

I don't know if there is something wrong with the sky sports app, but Doncaster are 9/5 with sky bet to beat Bournemouth.

I can appreciate Bournemouth are doing well at moment, but Doncaster are a decent outfit at home.

Surely too big?!

Daily Report as at 9.40am, Saturday November 10th

As you were. We broke even yesterday, no profit, no loss, no nuffink.

Two bets completed, one win, one loss.

We had a tennis bet which failed – we needed 3 sets, our man had multi set points, but could not convert. At 2/1, I think we had superb value, & that’s all that matters.

Our other bet was on Basketball, where moonandback found us a nice winner (£20 profit). He actually suggested £44, (for £40 profit) & I bottled it, as a) the line had apparently moved, & we’d lost a chunk of value, & b) I’m very nervous about Basketball, after our early setbacks. I am determined to see the other side of variance on Basketball though, so keep the suggestions coming please, but note I have no idea about the game, or value, so I’ll invariably need advice from the experts.

We placed a small but intriguing bet on the London Chess Masters, which will be fun to follow. Not started yet.

We also have a bet on Australia v South Africa in the First Test, & I’m afraid the entire Second Day was lost to rain – the first time this has happened at Brisbane in 29 years! I blame Tighty, inadequate research, & no long range Weather Map. We are in big trouble with this bet now, our best hope is that South Africa press on hard in Day Three, & knock up a huge score, to give them a chance to skittle out those horrible Aussies twice.

Meanwhile, our Obama Electoral College Bet (£30 @ 6.6) has still not been settled by Betfair. Hopefully it is a bit of wool on our back, as my old Chairman used to regularly lecture me. Daily. For 23 years. Yes John. Of course John.

Note to modern cricket fans.

This is what cricketers SHOULD look like.

PS - Can you name any of these? One VERY famous Englaish cricketer there. Topical.

Morning Mr T.

I am still smarting over the tennis bet. Not since my first ever bet, 10p on Crisp to win the National, have I been convinced to have backed the winner and then lost. I still remember that moment vividly. I was always good at maths and knew the concept of odds so had worked out that I was going to get 70p for my 10p. I then had my mother trying to explain that I had to pay some of my 70p to the taxman. At the same time Red Rum came from a mile back to catch Crisp in the last furlong. Just to rub salt in the wounds this then becomes the most famous National of all time and gets shown pretty much every year throughout my life. It is a miracle that this didn't put me off betting for ever.

I specifically asked Mr Tightend about the weather forecast in Brisbane too !. Anyway I need to ask the same question of you. What is the weather forecast for the Twickenham area for this afternoon ?

Would be good to see tightys view on Leicester v Forest.

Thinking having Leicester in an accy & hopefully get a winner to 'mark off' - seen 4/5, not amazing price.

Morning hector.

Ouch @ Crisp. You shall forever be reminded.

Tighty & that weather. Yup, very sloppy work by him. I blame him completely.

Twickers weathers?

It rained very heavily overnight, & was still tipping down at 6am.

It has stopped raining now, but there is not a breath of wind, it is quite chilly, & the road & pavements remain sopping wet.

The forecast for this afternoon is to remain mostly dry, with a few showers maybe, but grey & overcast all day.

The Fred Shop will be unable to place bets between late-afternoon & Midnight today.

Chelsea vs Liverpool.

Chelsea are evens with lad broke and hills ( and I'm sure with others).

Following an depth post from tikay, I'm still not sure what makes a bet and this "true odds" scenario.

But the recent theme if Liverpool odds being history driven rather than actual talent/form, this has to be a value bet if the weekend?!

We just come back from a long Russia trip, on Thursday. Chelsea played at home and with a boosting late win.
We don't play we'll at the bridge (unless its dalglish playing or managing)
Terry back after ban will give them presence
We are miles away from them in form, players etc
They really should be comfortable odds on
I'm a Liverpool fan and this is one of the most painful post I've ever done!

Morning Wazzy.

Good stuff, all the ingredients are there, the only thing I don't know well enough is if the price is correct, or has factored it all in already.

Personally, I think Chelsea @ Evens is a steal, but we'd better see what The Big Boys say first.

If we get some warmth, we'll get on, & the bet will be owned by you.

We have a bit of time to muse & dither, as it is not until tomorrow.

Thanks mate.
