3,000 pages looms.

How we going to celebrate that?

Night at the Rhino with Lil' Dave and Flushy?

In the interview with TV's TK, Warney sayed...

"Young Agar is a good left-armed spinner and he'll probably get the nod in the first test ahead of Lyon."

33-1 with Sid and as short as 10-1 elsewhere. Any valoo here?

We were on at 33/1?

Happy Days!

Nice try. Fred pondered long and hard and decided not to invest.
The 33/1 would have been for best Australian series bowler.
He currently has zero, exactly five behind Siddle.

The Rhino? Must have missed that when I was there (feels so long ago now...)

Is it a theatre? Seems an odd name for a theatre.

Another offer:


If Alastair Cook or Michael Clarke top score in their team's 1st Innings of the first Ashes test, Ladbrokes will refund losing match bets as a free bet.

Offer is good, going to be something like 35% either top scores.  Prob best to just back England.

For info, Sky are doing some price boosts on top bats/top bowls at the minute, but none look great to me.  The best is Cook, but though it is clear top price, you can beat it on Betfair.

Froome beaten by just 12 seconds by Martin. That German fella ist ein Boss, but means Froome now three minutes ahead of the field.

Seem to recall he was good in the mountains last year - wasn't there a view he was held back by Wiggins? - how well can the others attack in the climbs?

Froome is a monster. He was definitely held back by Wiggins last year but c'est la vie and it meant we got to cheer home the sideburned one. Froome was always going to get his turn this year, and the next, and the year after...

Another boxing bet for Saturday. Kell Brook by decision 10/11at Boyles (4/6 best elsewhere). First fight ended up going to points after Brook controlled the first half before gassing badly in the later rounds. Despite controlling the early rounds he never really looked like stopping Jones. It's also a 10 rounder whereas their first fight was over 12 rounds. I see Brook winning on points but by a wider margin this time, something like 98-92. Recommend £55 at 10/11

Like this a lot.  Brook hasnt got the power to stop him based on the first fight but I don't think he will make the same mistakes he did in the last fight and should strip a bit fitter too.   Cant really see him getting beat either.  Would have thought it should be like 8-13 or something like that.

Any Women's soccer experts? I really like the look (no pun intended) of the home team in the Euro Championships. Sweden 4/1. Germany Favs rightly so but home advantage might mean a close run thing in a relatively easy group.

We've had no feedback on this.
Sweden play tonight at 7:30pm - coverage on BBC3.

A question for punters, as I am getting confused with returns from bets.

I moslty go via Hills and they go best guaranteed odds, etc.

But numerous times I am backing at a price and it gets bigger and finishes bigger on the horse race, then I am still not getting paid at best guaranteed odds. I keep asking why and they mention it's something to do with when the odds was captured. Like I have just been on a horse at 4/7, it has gone off at 4/7, they have given me 8/13..... Should I be getting 4/6? This is happening numerous times & I do not know if it is right what they are saying or not?

Cheers in advance

If you are betting on the day and not ante-post you should get the SP price if its bigger than the price you took. There are no edxceptions as long as its UK & Ireland racing I don't think

Hills are doing their generous £25 money back as a free bet offer on the mobile again tomorrow. 

Suggest £25 Sir John Hawkins at 9/4 in the 2.10, Universal at 4/1 in the 2.40. 

Just to keep them happy, put £25 on Montridge at 4/5 in the 4.25 .  The horse looks easily the best in the race, price is near Betfair anyway, and we get best odds guaranteed.  There is no free bet offer in this race.

Some companies have a cut off point, say 30 mins before the race when the guarantee stops and if you take a price that is what you get. Maybe you are betting around this cut off point?

That said, I'm not sure what the hills policy is
