[Hawk]

if you are not sure dont bet is generally good advice

True, but what if I am not sure if I am not sure?

This is Premiership grade ditherage.

Squawky!

As for a golf tip ................................. Dont grip the club to tight.

I couldn't resist England at 5's because I won over £10 earlier backing Sweden, basically gonna ride the heater

Sound logic Glenda. No wonder Chompy hangs on your every word.

lol, I guess he does like to run his major bets by me before he moves his money

Nor me, I went up to Head Office in Leeds for a big Meeting today, left home at 5am, got home at 7.30pm, & by then was way too tired to do anything.

Darts bet for tomorrow night.
Winstanley most 180's v Monk 8/13 with Hills.
Price is 1/2 for me and most Bookies.
Winstanley is one of the top 5 180 Hitters in the game imo, I have noticed Monk always seems to be underpriced on the 180's yet he's not hit very many at all on Tv.
My biggest Bet of the week so far, ill let you decide the stake if you take the Bet.

India v England, First Test.

For the SERIES, we are already on as follows.

India 4-0 £20 @ 14/1

India 3-1 £10 @ 12/1

India 3-0 £10 @ 7/1

Top England Bowler Anderson £25 @ 4/1

Top Indian Batter Pujura £20 @ 7/1

________

For the First Test, I am mid a monster dither. I WAS all set on getting with India.

Cliffs.

Tighty thinks India.

Doobsy strongly recommends India @ 2.65 or thereabouts.

AndrewT notes 5 of the last 7 equivelants have ended in draws.

horsey prefers to get against India.

It is unanimous that it is a huge toss to win. (I won't be up at 3am, sorry).

I sought the opinion, privately, of a Gent of whom I have great regard & respect in these matters. He marginally favours India, BUT.....prefers to wait until the last moment, so that we have all the info to hand.

Here is the recent record from Ahmenabad, kindly passed to me by wise counsel....

...which will move sharply post-toss.

I really wanted to have a punt on this, 5 days fun with a chance of making a few bob.

Not sure what to do now.

Oh, & I need to be in bed within the next hour.

Thoughts appreciated. Ideally, soonnsh, as it's time for my bedtime toddy. 

I like India to win the first test, having said that I have backed India 4-0 too.

Any views on spain to win both halves tonight at 11/8? I know its an international friendly, however i feel like this is a decent price.  Spain are 4/5 to score in both halves, I think if they score in both halves then they'll win both halves and therefore the 11/8 to win both halves seems value to me.

Didn't seem to be very popular but a winning bet.

Well done Mr Sparrow.

Sadly, I've missed several good ones today. The Day Job rules, & all that.

Keep them coming.

Ooh, thanks.

The price will be gone by the morning if you are right, & I'm working tomorrow evening, so I've been uncharacteristically decisive, & we are on.

Bugger it, I had an extra strong Ovaltine, & it has gone to my head.

I've decided to have £40 on India @ 13/8 with BetVictor.

Tommorrow, @ 5am, I have to get up & do the TV "squeeze" - or "slow-reveal" as I saw it described today.

I shall be so excited.

Just heard back from Walsall corrie.

7/1 is huge. Way wrong.

Charge!

But.....if 7/1 is "huge", & "way wrong" is 5/1 Value?

VERY odd market, too - the top four are 1/8, 1/8, 1/3, & 11/8!

So do we still get on?

I'd rather like another "Barnet-style" bet, that was so much fun, even though it went down. (Unlike Barnet).

The recommend from Rich (Eso) was £30 @ 7/1, & I'd still like to get on, but is 5/1 too miserly, should we wait & week or two & see if we can nick an extra point or two on the price, as the risk of it shortening still further?

http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/league-1/relegation

He's a very good judge.

He has backed them at a bigger price a couple of weeks ago.

He now thinks they should be 7/2.

Pompey an excellent lay at 1/8 to go down.

Just to add a mix of Opinion, Pompey were awful on Saturday at Bury, heartless and didn't wanna be there, I accept it was a 'funny' one tho with Appleton just leaving.  I was impressed with them at Sheff Utd on tv recently, like others here, but saw none of it on sat.  I don't know exactly what they're points deduction situation is tho?

Also, Bury were very decent, Blackwell had them bang up for it, 5 loan players doing well and a complete change of mentality, which does the Walsall bet no harm.

[Horneris]

I'd be very surprised if Oldham don't finish above the likes of Walsall and Orient, not a 7/2 shot to go down for me.

Pompey are 1.6 to back to go down on betty.

If you took 13/8 me, 11/8 tighty!*  

Tighty put up the series bet, I suggested we should back this test result.  If he did put up the first test result first I didn't see it.






* not serious

If anybody doesn't mind having money locked up for a long time I would strongly suggest betting Knicks to win their division this season @ 2.75

http://www.paddypower.com/bet/basketball/us-basketball/nba-atlantic-division?ev_oc_grp_ids=372814

By far the weakest division in the NBA imo, raptors and nets won't be able to compete over the whole season. 76ers don't look very good at all at the minute (they still have bynum to come back from injury but I still don't think they are gona be all that great tbh.) Which leaves it to between Knicks and Celtics, Celtics are very inconsistent but will probably grind out a 45-50win season. Just love how the knicks look this year, they have clearly worked very hard in the preseason and it shows now.

You could even bet both the Knicks and the Celtics to win the division and still make money, I really don't think any of the other 3 teams has a shot.

I can go into more detail if you would like, let me know. I was just browsing paddypower before bed and saw this and figured I would post it.

Re Ahmedabad recent record. The pitch has been relaid. It is rumoured that it will spin earlier, break up sooner.  Blowers on my radio at 4.45an, meanwhile, bit surreal!

I've been listening to Sir Geoffrey giving forth, since 5am.

I think his piles may be giving him gip - the curry does it - because he is really laying into everyone, in the way only Geoffrey can. Fantastic entertainment, with his Grandmother's stick of rhubarb featuring prominently, as the runs continue.
