Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

Taylor v Barney
Recommend Taylot 180s under 2.5, he has only managed to beat this line once in his last 10 PLD matches, everywhere else is 4/6 or lower.
Sporting Bet  are 17/20

Best priced (that I can see) is now 8/11, Sporting Bet.

Is that a bit too short?

Golf - Open De Espana

I was looking to oppose Miguel Angel Jimenez in this tournament, as for those who dont know, Miguel broke his leg at the end of December(http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/golf/20872268) and this is is his first tournament back since. He actually only confirmed his participation in this event last week and stated he has played rounds of golf but almost all of them has been using a buggy. He played a pro am event on Sunday, and walked some of the course and used a buggy for the rest. He has stated he is not 100% and merely stated he aims to make the cut. Its no surprise he has drifted from 55.0 to 75.0.

I suspect he is rushing back too early and is only playing here due to this being the only Spanish tournament on the european tour schedule this year, as opposed to the 7 it hosted in 2010. All of the Spanish players are attending, and contending is probably at the back of his mind. He clearly loves the course, and knows it well but its due to be a windy tournament and is certainly not one to be taken on with a rushed preparation. Corals have placed him in a tournament match bet with Raphael Jacquelin @ 10/11. Excellent golf tipster SportsBettingIndex has tipped Jacquelin up to win the tournament, and makes a good case stating that he has played this venue a few times himself and has a "great long term record in Spain". He has made 5 out of 6 cuts this year, 17/25 last, and played fine in a warm up event in France last week, finishing mid pack and closing with the joint 2nd best closing round. All in all, hes a very solid/dependable player, whos good in the wind and likely to play well and make the cut. Making the cut, will actually probably be enough to win the bet.

There are a few different players(E.Molinari and A.Quiros) we could oppose Jimenez with, but both of those have been out with injuries and are a little unpredictable. So I think Jacquelin to beat Jimenez with Coral in their tournament match bet deserves a decent investment. Maybe around £55

I happy to hear any alternative views.

Just been looking at this.

The course they are playing hasn't hosted this event for over ten years. A few of the comments and reports i read suggest its a special kind of challenge and local knowledge will be very useful. Hence why Garcia is so short. I see last time out it was hosted here Jacqulien was in contention (top 8 iirc). He therefore has form around the course and it may well suit his style. Also be aware that Jimenez was also up there that year and has history with the place.  However, I have read a few reports that suggest Jimenez is only going to be making up the numbers due to injury and i wonder if he is under pressure for sentimental reasons and sponsorship reasons to play.

Anyway, think the 10/11 to beat Jimenez over 72 holes is a great bet but noticed whilst looking through that you can also back Jacqueline at EVS in a match bet on Betfred over 72 holes vs Shane Lowry who hasn't as far as i can see played a tournament at this venue and he has also missed his last 2 stroke-play cuts and hasnt played for a month or so in competition. Raphael on the other hand whilst missing the cut narrowly last tournament made 13 cuts prior to that and is generally very consistent and as mentioned knows the course.

I am on as think its decent value but thought Fred would be interested.

Lowry was T15 at the Valero a fortnight ago.

So he was. I only looked at euro tour stats. Maybe no bet then for Fred even though i am still on!

I guess Tikay is probably not up now but if he is then betting +2.5 Houston in the NBA is looking like a good idea at the moment.  Lakers have qualified for the playoffs if Utah lose which they are doing at the moment by 5 as a 4.5 point dog.

You were right, I was long gone by then.

Hope it won for you & Marky.

Morning.

Confirmation below of this bet, which I placed last night.

With hindsight, I think I should have had more on this one, maybe £110. In future, where I see what I think is a standout bet, I'll up the stakes. Too late in this case, as they closed the book at 0630 this morning.

We have £55 @ 10/11, Corals, 72 hole Match Bet, Jiminez v Jacquelin, JACQUELIN.

Will greenwood has just tweeted to say warren gatland will be announcing his lions captain at an event in exeter tonight.

Can't remember fred's bets on this but I think there is some exposure.

As far as I can see, no announcement was made last night, & the Markets are still open.

The latest leg of the chess Grand Prix starts this afternoon in Zug, Switzerland.

http://zug2013.fide.com/

At last night's opening ceremony, the players drew lots to decide who would be playing whom and when (it is a single round robin, so colours could be decisive, although they likely matter least to someone like Radjabov and there is very little between the top six).

Fred saw fit to support Azerbaijan's second most famous chess player (there's a Thursday teaser for you: who is its capital Baku's most famous product?), Teimour Radjabov. Here he is picking his lot, imaginatively disguised as a Swiss tower with chocolates and numbers inside:

Click to see full-size image.

He will face Italian/American Fabiano Caruana, who looks a little like Screech from Saved by the Bell with a less pronounced hairstyle. He can also play chess well. Our man has the Black pieces, so a tough start, but if he's going to win this comp, he will need to at least hold his own against the rivals.

Daily Summary, @ 0830, Thursday April 18th

£43 departed in the last 48 hours.

Losses were from three bets, a £3 Banzai on the World Snooker, & 2 x £20 Goalscorer attempts.

The FGS & Anytime goalscoer stuff is high-variance, we get good prices, but by definition, we ain't gonna bink very often. If we can get ool prices, though, we should keep plugging away.

Hopefully, we will be on Fatty Swanson & others again at the earliest opportunity.

For the next few days, can you please try & get your suggestions up as early as possible, as I'll only be intermittently available.

I'm heading north today, & will be on the road until mid-afternoon. From 10am tomorrow (Friday) I'll be working, up at DTD. Tighty will be there too, & we will both have the Lappies open, so I can still get bets placed, but not always at short notice.

Thanks.
