Tips for Tikay

[horseplayer]

yes it would have been

i had a look but it did not really have the look of a game for it

basically it has all kicked of after a bad tackle by gabi who was booked (should have been sent off was on half time) which riled everybody

without that i doubt the make up would be anything like this

Before I forget, very best of luck to BadBeat in tonight's Oscars with his new venture and, of course, to Fred.

What a 24 hour spell it could be.

I'm currently watching a BBC 4 show about British Pathé. It seemed a completely innocent choice, but I'm starting to think it was a subconscious funk.

+1 to that.

Beyond Fred, (Les Mis) I've not had a bet, but I may go look again at Betting Emporium's selections & see if anything tickles my fancy.

I do hope their new site goes well, they are two Gents, & both have been very helpful to me down the years, both personally, & to blonde.

Just looking at the Betfair markets and I've stumbled across a newly formed market on the Candidates Chess Tournament. This is the tournament that will decide who plays Vishwanathan Anand for the World Championship.

There are 7 people who were born in the old USSR and one Norwegian chap who Fred won a nice bet on called Magnus Carlsen.

The tournament will be in London, starting in 3 weeks' time.

Carlsen is a big favourite and the days of 6/5 (which we got for the London Chess Classic in December) are long gone. He's opened on the exchange at 8/11. It's probably still a bet tbh. He is head and shoulders above the competition at the moment and just isn't losing games, even when his back is against the wall. Maybe hold fire, though, and see if there's a bit of interest elsewhere, such that he drifts a little.

Vladmir Kramnik (a former World Champion himself) is the next best and the candidates tournament format might suit him for reasons I shalln't go far into tonight (if I'm recommending a bet later I will). He's 9/2 and that's close to being very interesting: anything from 5-1 out is likely a bet in my eyes.

I much, MUCH prefer Kramnik's chances to Lev Aronian's, who is the same price.

After that, it's a 12-1 bar and I wouldn't touch those with yours.

Watching brief and I'll happily provide more details nearer the date.

It's Fred's fault I'm looking at chess betting markets. It is also Fred's fault I'm starting to work out what to look for.
