Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

The IPL starts this week, an event guaranteed to send tikay into a giddy skip such is his passion for dancing cheerleaders, ludicrous time outs, constant adverts and Dulux pyjama kits

This was a lot of fun on the thread last year

It is possible to make a case for a lot of teams to win it, all have talent and the real opportunity is in individual matches. I could construct an argument for any of the top 5 in the betting

For example Bangalore have Gayle, Dilshan and ABdeV...which is an exciting line up

Mumbai will be captained by Ricky Ponting.

The runs will come from Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma - Nos 3 and 4 on the all-time IPL run lists

Pragyan Ojha is a top IPL spinner, Kieron Pollard is a big hitting all rounder and Lasith Malinga remains a big threat in this format.

In addition the likes of Glenn Maxwell (ref Hampshire/thread in 2012), Jacob Oram, Phil Hughes...

you can see the full squad at http://ipl-2013.co.in/mumbai-indians-team-for-ipl-2013/

Watch out also for Nathan Coulter Nile, quite a talent shown in the Big Bash this winter

Mumbai Indians have made the knockout stages each of the last three years and should give a great run for our money, which is all we can ask in such a competitive betting heat

Recommend £20 at  Mumbai Indians to win the IPL 11/2 (if you can get it)

At 11/2 you are guaranteed a good run for your money

Top stuff Rich.

Worth it for the weeks of Daily Reports, Updates, Weather Forecast, Photos of funny grounds & pitches, & Heavy Rollers & the Sub-Continent Socio-Economic growth news.

Think we backed Mumbai Indians last year, too?

PS - I could not get the 11/2, but I think 5/1 is fine here.

We have £20 @ 5/1, BetVictor, Mumbai Indians to win IPL.

Thread remains too nitty imo.

Very keen on Poshies tomorrow, so...

Also have a £10 double on Posh-Posh H-T/F-T (6/1) and Dwighty Gayle first goal (7/1). Double pays 55/1

That must be a related bet is it not ?

You tell him Jim, you tell him.

If anyone is actively watching this thread, would really contemplate a lump on Bristol Cuty to beat Wednesday today.

We've put out a poor line up and city been consistent at home.

Horrible horrible line up

I thought the same, Jim, bloody amateurs.

Made plenty of money in the shop this weekend? Is the National a big deal in the Shop? It is HUGE for Online Firms, most important day of the year for acquisition. Extra staff and all sorts.

I'll be marking everyone's card for the National on Ch 861 tomorrow. Expert me, see?

The value of the Tofino Bay bet was were taking the 33/1 non runner no bet when it was about that price with comm off in the pure antepost market on BF. On BF it is a loser but fixed odds you were getting a free shot at the correct BF price with your cash back if it didn't run.

On the Donny pricing, page 123 of todays RP has the list of home draw and away % in all the English and Scottish leagues this season. League one home teams have won 38% of home games this season, it is currently running at the worst % home advantage this season( probably to do with the fact there are a lot of teams tightly packed so not a lot of easier home games maybe)

So two teams of equal ability are running at a starting point home price of 13/8, so the game today says that Swindon are rated a slightly better team than Doncaster which Brent might or might not agree with anyway but he deffo disagrees with the supposed difference quoted by the prices.

In the Coventry game did Cov go off about 2.7/2.8 odd  ( I didn't see the off price), that price says that Donny are a better team than Coventry. So your opinion on the games are spot on Adz, they are a better team than Coventry and possibly a worse team than Swindon but the odds for both games say that anyway when using 13/8 the home as the starting point.

Unfortunately, the 2nd leg of our horse double unseated rider-ess early doors.

Still, the loose horse is causing carnage to the rest of the field!

I don't know about too nitty but Mrs Merton style I do wonder , if it was done tastefully, is there is a cricket match or series anywhere in the world that we might consider not having a bet on?

There surely cannot be big enough mistakes in the prices to have a bet on a lot of games imo

[bookiebasher]

Been ok Tony , all my eyes are on leicester at the minute. Need them outside top 6 to save me a five figure
payout.

Grand National I dread , until I start counting at the end of the day. Got a small back office with 4 people crammed
in and will be flat out all day without a break.

Will listen in to the experts tomorrow night then , have you got that Chumpy fella on ?

[Bad Beat]

 Pretty annoying.

 Think I pretty much nailed it with most of the things I said in my original post and I didn't really get too lucky. That unseated animal traded 11/8 a place prior to the off. Think 12/5 was a decent price. First two pulled a mile clear but neither looked that great. Would have fancied at least getting the place.

 First leg is the sort of bet I would always like to have for ten times what I generally get on.

 It's never easy.

 Won a few Sklansky dollars and some G-bucks.

I think the theory is that as well as value bets thread likes to have "interests" in the bigger competitions for a sweat over a period of a few weeks
