Is Fred able to bet with Tony G's site Tony Bet? Some interesting prices on the NBA on there...

He can now!

What do you recommend?

Ha good work Mere. The prices on Mike Miller in tonight's games are all too low. Looks pretty likely he'll start the game after stellar performances off the bench in the first three games. He's 10 for 11 in three pointers over those games. I really like over 5.5 points at 1.85 and more than 1.5 three pointers at 1.90. I get the feeling they're using averages  to set those prices (he's performing way better now than earlier in the season, has got right into the rotation where earlier in the season he was barely playing, and there's rumours he'll start tonight to provide more offence). I wouldn't put u off Miller +2.5 in the match bet against Tiago Splitter either, tho maybe having three bets on one player is a waste. All look good tho, esp first two. I'll take a look through the other prices now too...

Using some simple maths if he gets two 3-pointers he will get > 5.5 points.
I have very little idea about basketball but what is the likelihood of him scoring > 5.5 without two 3-pointers, i.e. 3 2-pointers, 1 3-pointers and 2 2-pointers or various free shot combinations. Does he get a nose bleed if gets close to the net?
I think we'll place one of the bets but is the extra 0.05 worth it for the two 3-pointers and losing all the other options?
My ice cream inclination is the > 5.5 points option.

Think you are right.  He could easily get fouled late in the game or score a couple of fg's.

There's a chance that I may fall asleep so I've plumped.

yeh, all his shots are threes basically but he may get fouled or whatever so may as well go over 5.5. Really, really like this bet

Lineup - 6/13Heat
Mario Chalmers (PG) Dwyane Wade (SG) Mike Miller (SF) LeBron James (PF) Chris Bosh (C)

Good start...

Fabulous bokking....so far this series Miller has shot 2 of 3 for 5 points, then 3 of 3 for 9 points and 5 of 5 for 15 points, all as a reserve. Been so good he's worked his way into the starting line-up which was a surprise (v unusual to start tinkering with starting lineups at this stage) but meant he'd get more opportunities and the price was wrong. Tonight? 0 of 1 for 0 points. Fabulous

Unlucky. Fred dines on value pie once more.

SkySports News says that rain may "interrupt" play in Cardiff.
Possibly an optimistic forecast?

BBC site currently forecasts a dry afternoon after rain in the morning.

Could be an important day for our chess bet, as two of the players who lost yesterday play each other. Our man has the White pieces against America's Hikaru Nakamura.

Kramnik would have been bitterly disappointed to have lost yesterday, but he faces an opponent who is having worse luck in longplay games.

Might be one where they both are happy to play out a solid draw, but, as in relegation battles, the draw suits no one. If Kramnik were to win today, he is right back in it and the way he played yesterday is encouraging, in the sense that he is there to win.

They tend to have interesting games, so we shall see.

We don't want to see him resigning again.
