Artum a good pick for our girl.....not that I ever watch such rubbish....

[TightEnd]

The Gumball Rally

(with her just announced partner Artem Chigvintsev)

This is a decent partner to get. Very popular with the lady voters, and a good all rounder unlike Du Beke who can't do Latin

Djokovic 2 sets to 1 down in the first semi.  Milkman warming up the float, looks like the greener outers could be left drinking bitter.

Confirmation from Mutha Kimber that Artem is one of the faves with the target audience. Market seems to like it, Gumball is 3/1 with most now....shoulda been braver and chompied in with the 300 at 8/1 and laid some off....live and learn

Interesting article on the Olympic hosting bid. Politically & economically the pros & cons for each city seem to add up to a close race, with no stand out "safe" option. Has Madrid got an edge?

I think there might be something about Istanbul being a more ool price with bwin at 9-1, The 2 main polls have it a lot closer than the betting suggests ( albeit Madrid have gone up slightly were as the other 2 have gone backwards but this has just levelled it out more) Historically as well the fav has not always won eg London got it over Paris and Rio got it over Chicago, all of these cities have a strong bid but equally they all have a few issues and maybe the price on Istanbul reflects the trouble they had with riots etc which look like they have now been resolved?

Now I am far from an expert and I have no other information than is available to anyone else, the bookies probably have it right and Tokyo may well win it, but it just doesnt make sense to as to why the prices are so different for what very much looks like a 3 horse race. Backed up by historical data. Maybe someone on here might know abut more and can add whether backing Istanbul is not the value?

I'm convinced they shouldn't be as high as 9-1 ( 13-2 or 6-1 maybe if that's what they all say but def not 9's). Would be great to hear some more views on this.

Edit  This is announced tonight.

Madrid are out, between Tokyo and Istanbul now, final vote at 9. Just in case anyone got on.

Happy with the Gumball first effort in the group....almost too good tho in a Van Outen type way.

From what I saw Ben Cohen could be a dark horse. One for the ladies for sure.

Never got on.

Istanbul would be an interesting & controversial choice. But the correct one imo.

First drive of the game, Mariota runs 71 yards for a touchdown!

Can still lay Tokyo at 1.2 on Betfair

Oioi indeed. MW Braxton Miller, who I think was one of the Heisman faves, has left his game on a cart with what could be a serious knee injury. Ofc we wouldn't rejoice in another's demise but...

[TheDazzler]

Tokyo wins. Bah!

[Omm]

Tokyo wins. Bah!

Yeah, can't help but think it should have gone the other way but it was a good sweat.

Hope it's not anything too serious, but he should definitely take the time to ensure he recovers fully.
