Tips for Tikay

[Chompy]

Hold on, you've appeared on a Cheltenham preview AND won the Ten-to-follow? Yikes!

In the early days of The Racing Post taking over the TTF from Pacemaker, it used to be hand-written entries. Then they had over 100 different spellings of Lean Ar Aghaidh, including 'Lenny Henry', so started doing the list of 1000 instead.

Semi interesting imo, yup.

[Snowball]

Any other week against Lewis 4 180s would have been enough but unfortunately Lewis fancied it tonight and MvG was off form.
One of the reasons why I find the PLD the hardest Tournament to win from and bets have to be kept to a minimum

In fact my memory played tricks with me earlier, the TTF I did & won was in "Pacemaker", not "Racehorse".

I have a copy of it somwhere (lol @ hoarding a magazine for 33 years!), I'll try & find it.

Wise words, we'll do well to heed that. It's almost "Turbo" darts.

It's a glorified exhibition until finals night.

We were 2nd a few years ago.  I blame chompy for us not winning, though it was really Westerner getting the better of Bago for 2nd in the Arc that did for us.

I'll be happy enough with a clean sheet now, with the 2.5 goals having gone.

Inter haven't been at the races thus far

Hi Tikay, thanks for putting up re the OSCAR WHISKEY bet offer 2moro, do you know likely max bet?
just as a by the way, was in a betfreed shop lunch time and they had a 'special' between 12 and 2 oclock only salsify for the foxhunters (which i fancy) and you could have max £200.
they were offering 7/2 when its 5/2 almost all spots.

You are very welcome.

I really don't know what the MAX is, it seems to vary from person to person. Some of the lads here will know better than me.

In truth, if you can afford it, you should try & get as much as you can afford. If you are getting 6/1 about a genuine 5/1 shot, at the very least you could lay it  immediately on Betfair for a locked-in freeroll if you so wished, & dont want to risk too much.

As of right now, you can lay it on Betty @ 6.2 (just over 5/1), though of course that could move either way by 9am tomorrow morning.

A little bit of money has gone on the chess market for next Friday's Candidates Tournament on betfair.

Carlsen still 1.67
Kramnik 6.6 and drifting, seemingly
Aronian 6.8

Radjabov is a comfy fourth favourite at 16/1, but I really have never seen him perform against this sort of field to the level required to win a double round robin of this magnitude.

Almost any price you like the rest (someone has optimistically asked for 290 on Gelfand, if you please)

A week to go. Kramnik price is beginning to draw my attention tbh. One of those 'Not betting because I think he will win, but because I think his price is too good' type of bets. If it touches 6/1, I'll be investing.

Do keep us informed on this, Tal.

We only had one Chess bet, which won easily, but it was tremendous fun, especially as you were able to give us running Updates.

I'm not urging you to recommend a bet, but if you sense some value, we might just have a good funk at low cost.

If you want 6/1, just back and then change the price to 7.0.  That way if he ever goes 7 you will get it.

Didn't you say Carlson looks like he could be value at 1.67 and Kramnik is value at 7.  I assume that means that Aronian must be a terrible price at 6.8, so we should be looking to lay?
