Piling into Paddy Power now, and hoping for no injuries

[tikay]

To be fair he did put up a bet late at night on Gotze going to Munich.

Although it had been announced he had signed , and I think it was with Paddy Power (might be wrong) so the 83pence everyone could have had at 4/1 would have just about bought a Big Mac, but it would have been a risk free Big Mac.

ha, just because I don't give away free bets all the time doesn't mean I never have bets. Just not really wise to give them away for free is it?

The problem with this life view is that it completely ignores what I hear poker players calling the metagame.  I try and contribute a lot to Fred.  I get nothing financial in return and, you could argue, it is slightly -EV to educate people and have what you are doing out there so why do I do it?  Firstly, I get a lot out of blonde and the community here.  It has helped my poker game and it is just generally a nice and pleasant place to come.  Such communities only work if people are willing to give as well as receive.  Sure there will always be people that take advantage of systems like this in the same way as there are people who don't tip because "you don't have to" or people that download movies at filesharing sites but never upload them.  The nature of the community is such that we can't stop that and probably wouldn't but it is a bit sad.  Secondly, you will find that if you do contribute here then over time you do get equity out of it.  I will give you three examples off the top of my head.  Firstly, there is a poster here who has made me a standing offer to use his 365 account if I need to.  Secondly, last week I had been asked to put some money on a horse that had been lined up for a big gamble.  I obviously have some outs of my own but I needed to do this in small manageable chunks so I pm'ed a bunch of people on here to see if they would be willing to put some small bets on for me and that way I was able to get better prices and more volume than I would have been able to normally.  In return, they were able to have a small bet themselves on a horse at a double figure price that went off at 5/2.  Win win.   Finally, I was trying to back a dog last week and asked a fellow blonde if he could help me back the dog at 2/1.  He told me he had already backed it at 9/4 and I could have some of that even though the price went hours ago.  He didn't need to but I like to think he knows if the situation was reversed I would do similar.

So you see that if you help people you get things back.  Maybe you don't want anything back and are doing just fine on your own but, honestly, I find it hard to believe that in terms of life EV it is the best route.

Everybody should read that carefully, one of the best Posts to grace Fred ever.

I often wonder why the Pros take so much time, patience & care to explain stuff to us regulars, but I know they do.

Clearly, & obviously, when they stick a bet up, they have first got on themselves - that goes without saying. The fact they then share it with us, & expliun why, is just terrific.

The likes of Bobby, Camel, Channing, Dubai, Redarmi - note, alphabetical order - & others (apols to those I forgot), spend, literally, countless hours explaining stuff to us in great detail, which is equally educational & entertaining. Perhaps that is why Fred has quicky become the busiest thread on blonde by a long chalk. And in addition, we now have a whole range of experts in almost every major sport, all sharing their thoughts with us.

THAT is a Community at its best.

Can we expect payout on Warburton now(good call btw) or does he have to be in the first match as Capt?

Many congrats on the Warburton coup Rich.

Gawd knows how many regulars followed you in on that.

check the small print

some were "touring party captain", some were "first test captain"

Not sure which tikay had


obviously for the latter you now have to avoid Warburton injury

I don't recall right now, but I'll have a look when I get to the office. Just out of bed here.

All Welsh back row? Faletau, Warburton and Tipuric?

Disappointed no spot for Morgan. Can understand Robshaw more. The back row spots were always very competitive and will give us the best chance of success.

Invest some of your winnings on  Australia to win the series.

I have 2-1 Australia at 7-4 in mind

It is an underdog to Lions 2-1, which I do not think is correct
