Was really looking forward to today's picture montage!

Disappointing imo.

Joking aside Keith (& others), do you enjoy the daily galleries? I love them, but they take a bunch of time, & there's no point doing them if they are not enjoyed by others. 

If there isnt a picture of Jessica Ennis from behind today I am going on Fred strike.  After that not generally that bothered although they are definitely a bit of fun.  But then I would probably be willing to suspend the twelve days of Xmas for twelve days of Ennis so.....

I can get you a read view of Mo, if that helps?

Rear view of Colin Kaepernick better than the rancid one.

Clippers travel to Detroit in amazing form winning their last 9 games. CP3 is working this finely tuned outfit to a tee and brushing team after team aside. On average they score 8.4points more than they concede.

Detroit have lost their last 4 although they have a 5-7 home record this year, Clippers have too much in the locker for them.

Thoughts on this game Jaffa/anyone?

I see clippers being 9-10 favourites here on the road. We can get evens @ -6.5 with Coral which is an extra little bit of value. Im in for 3 units.

For tomorrow:

Cavaliers have been playing pretty well recently since Kyries return, the kid is absolutely on fire and undefendable at the minute. I think short term form has effected this line because I think its way off. Cavs have lost their last 3 but have been impressive in doing so (almost pulled off a shock win last time out in NYK) and Raptors have won their last 2 however Calderon had to have a Triple Double last game just to barely beat the Rockets at home who are awful on the road. Also, Raptors are alot better at home than away where they have a 1-14 record so far this season.

They also have a very thin squad at the minute with two of their best players (Bargnani and Fields) out for the game. This means their starting line up is worse but more importantly their bench is very weak.

I think Cavs are alot better than the Raptors and they say home court is worth 3 points so they are basically saying Cavs are 1 point better than the Raptors which is wrong imo. (also its probably worth more vs someone with such a bad road record like the Raptors)

Im in for the max 5 units on Cavaliers -4 with Bwin. 100% a Fred bet imo

I really like the Clippers....if I knew how I'd post my video message from Deandre Jordan from preseason my mate got for me lol....but I only had them 5 points fave tonight so not betting it but gl if u do. Not looked at tomoro, but Cavs defo playing better than their record...and Calderon is playing coz Kyle Lowry is out, which is huge, all positive

The pictures are simply wonderful Mr T. I love the action ones, the nostalgic ones and those with hidden nuances.

As regards Leeds/Chelsea I think those that post on the Leeds thread here would be able to tell us if Leeds are actually playing well. If they were then  I think I would risk a bet for myself but not sure it eeks of great value. I still get annoyed every time I see that David Webb goal, not only did he foul 2 people running in but I am sure it came off his arm. First FA cup final to go to a replay too.

fascinating reading

a lot of people say betting on international friendlies is a lottery

have a read of the above and especially with an unknown referee i would advise anybody to steer well clear

the infamous  June 2011 friendly in which Nigeria beat Argentina 4-1 has a link to the above? have a guess who was the ref ?

I like those most of all! I often wonder if people fathom them out.

Anyway, move on, we shall continue "as is", all being well.

highlights of the infamous match

1.40ish and 7.00 ish are particularly amusing

I enjoy the pictures and daily reports

Doesn't matter what time of the day they arrive though, afternoon or the evening is fine. Doesn't need to be first thing if things are hectic

I enjoy them, but if the time taken to compile them is one of the reason for considering passing on the reigns, then drop it!

Mr T. A bit of deja vu here but have you looked at the corners market for the Reading Arsenal game. I can't help thinking that 2-1 for Reading to have most corners is worth consideration. They are at home, likely to go behind so have to attack more, and had more corners than Man Utd and Spurs when they played them at home recently.

No, not really, or as such. I love it to bits, tremendous fun, but it is very time consuming, & I have so many things I want to do. It sort of depends on my work situation really. Right now my desk is creaking with stuff, & I need to pay full attention to all of it, much responsibility sits on my shoulders next door.

If I packed up work, got the tin tack, or retired, of course, everything changes.

I'm actually trying to write a book, too.  Not going too well, that, I never seem to have the discipline or time to spend the time on it that I need to.

Tighty has offered to share the load, which might be the way forward. Don't forget how much time Mere has to invest, too.

We shall see, nature has a way of finding solutions to these things.

Come what may, we will see the 12 months out, & hopefully beyond.

The fun has barely begun.

Think we need a Blonde Fred Bash.

It's looking a little way ahead, but I reckon this is the perfect event to meet up and drink beer and gamble it up...

Anyone up for it?

[The Camel]

We could make a weekend of it and go to a football match on the Saturday, out for dinner and/or play poker Saturday night.

Then Mr Kaepernick for the main event on Sunday evening.

I'm looking forward to it already!

They are at home, likely to go behind so have to attack more, and had more corners than Man Utd and Spurs when they played them at home recently.

I had a very long look at the Corner Markets in this yesterday hector.

I have had 5 sub-market bets on the game, though only two are on the Corner Markets. ("Over 11" @ Evens, & "2nd half most corners" @ 10/11).

Both Teams have a tendancy to have high corner counts from time to time, but on balance, no, I'm not sure I like "Reading most corners". 

Reading at home average 6.5 for, 5.5 against.

Arsenal away average 7 for, 5.5 against. 

In total, Reading Home games average 12.5 per game, with Reading having a 1.5 corner per game advantage.

Arsenal Away games average 12.5 corners per game, with Arsenal enjoying a 1.5 corner advantage.

I therefore concluded "inconclusive" on Corner Superiority.

If you are on though, good luck.
