Tips for Tikay

[Eso Kral]

Just had the exact problem in Hills, weird

Me too, I think it's so you dont go on competitors websites or BF to see if you are beating the price and so that you tilt off on the fobts or listen to "and they are going behind at Kranji" making you have a bet.

Should put this discussion on a separate thread, so we don't miss all the bets that are flooding in.

Very quiet at the mo.

Tonight's televised fayre includes an Under 16 Internatoinal football match that has been won by the same team 12 years straight, snooker from Germany, Ladies Football (Arsenal), & President's Cup golf which hardly sets the pulses racing.....

I'll be able to play my poker session in peace, with no excuses. What can I blame if I lose the lot?

Most of us just use the traditional answers to that question:

- variance (if you don't agree, you just don't understand)
- you were crushing and then some finish got lucky
- you made a perfectly executed bluff but the idiot in seat four apparently only focuses on whether his own cards match some of the cards in the middle

I hate the bloody finish......all smoked meats and fish.....

Crikey, Stu was in like a shot there.

Can the Spurs defence handle the Red Armi?

I am not sure there is too much to be read into it though, you could probably just scrape a bet online with the faint connection. But it is somewhat strange and definitely what Eso has said

you should try living up here enter any building and you lose the weak signal you had lucky we can get wifi most places but that doesnt help if your expecting a call or forgot too log into the wifi when you enter the build too receive a viber etc

Looks a lot more Freudian than I realised!

As the French would say at a time like this...

Strictly Come Dancing First Eviction

I wrote to a learned colleague

Jacklin is 6/4 to be first evicted

He was bottom of judges scoreboard, and next week has to do a Latin

He's 71yo, can't see him doing Latin. Whilst there were genuine attempts to do ballroom technique, nerves and physical inability prevented him looking anything other than poor

Scores from first two weeks plus public votes are aggregated, 1/2 weighting each


Next in the market to be evicted is Feltz at 7/2

The key thing in early evictions is who has a market to vote for you?


Demographics of voters is female 25-60

Some will associate with Feltz

Feltz has a platform every morning on R2 to ask for votes


Jacklin? Golf success in 1970s and Ryder cup in 80s. Now lives in Florida

Absolutely no constituency in the demographic to vote for him and no platform/visibility to appeal for support

Cannot see a single other of the poorer dancers going first. Meaden has Windsor, v v popular pro. hairy biker was comedy, will have a constituency for him etc etc

I think Jacklin is around an 8/11 shot.

Think he will be evicted most of the time here

your thoughts welcome before I have, for me, a big bet please

Hello.

Have done some digging. Tony has a diary in the Express:

http://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/433020/Tony-Jacklin-s-Strictly-Come-Dancing-Diary

So he's doing the Charleston and has been nursing illness. Pros for your bet are it's a fast dance needing swivelling hip action and tons of energy and he won't have any of that. Cons are it's entertaining however bad you are (compare that to a rumba) and he might get some sympathy for his virus.

He has 1,998 twitter followers. Yes. 1,998. Aliona has 60,000 but then Tony's profile picture doesn't have him wearing the tiniest lingerie in a suggestive pose.

As a dancing exercise, I'd boot out Hairy Biker Dave Myers, but he's entertaining so will last four or five weeks probably. Jacklin is a mile behind Feltz as a dancer and will be very likely to be bottom of the leaderboard overall this weekend. Feltz has James Jordan and she will improve.

I think 6/4 is bananas.

I don't see where his fanbase is coming from. The older golf fans who have to watch with their wives won't be voting. Blokes say they love Aliona but they aren't voting for her this early really are they??

Last year, it was Johnny Ball. The public don't mind getting rid of a bad dancer if they aren't laughing at them.

Think you've found a corker, there


I have had a twirly whirly max. If top elder can stomach it, I think this is a good thing

When does this Eviction thing happen, please?

The little clip I've seen of him training isn't pretty. He's about as comfortable as me in PHA when somebody starts yabbering on about ranges and stoves.

You should have time to collect your winnings before the 9pm kick offs in the NFL on Sunday, so that gives the elders something to aim for.

[Marky147]

For anyone that is interested - 7/2 Orfevre from 830 am tomorrow with Hills.

What is the original price & the max? I don't think I can be bothered to get up at 8.30 for it
