Tips for Tikay

Is there any betting on McCririck's arseholeism case?

I wouldn't mind being on his having to pay costs.

Rare to be able to recover costs in employment cases. If there were ever a market on this, I'd be very wary of betting on costs being awarded (for or against him)

Judgment is being reserved (if it hasn't already), so it will be a fair bit of time before we get the final decision, much to the chagrin of the press, I expect.

Would the court have to come to the conclusion that his claim was spurious to award costs against him then?

Who actually pays for the legal representation in cases like this?

NFL tip for tomorrow's game:

Atlanta Falcons first FG - 11/10, PaddyPower - http://www.oddschecker.com/american-football/nfl/new-york-jets-at-atlanta-falcons/1st-field-goal

Three things make me believe this is worth a bet:

1) Matt Ryan is averaging 330 yards passing per game this season, but it has been well documented that Atlanta have one of the worst Red Zone TD percentages in the NFL. This should mean the Falcons end up kicking a lot of field goals.

2) The Jets have the 2nd most giveaways this season, with 12 - The only team with more giveaways at the moment is the Giants (16). This means that the Falcons should get opportunities to start drives with decent field position, and the Jets could potentially end up taking points off the board, too.

3) Also, whenever the Falcons have won the toss this season, they have elected to receive the ball first (Thank you, Atlanta Falcons Twitter page). Not sure how relevant a sample size of 2 really is, but it can only be a good thing for a first field goal bet, right?

No views on this, then?

.......... Bump?

I can't argue with it really

The Atlanta offense is currently a bit gimpy, Roddy White notably and that, together with problems on the Offensive line is making the points scoring potential a bit lower than in the last couple of seasons.

The Jets defense is also very stout, especially against the run, and Jackson is still out for Atlanta

Importantly too the Atlanta kicker is very solid. I mean you don't want to get first shot at it and miss....

Its probably the marginal good value that 11/10 about a coin flip suggests

Basic position is each side bears their own costs. There are circumstances where you can ask the court to order the other side to pay your costs, but it's very much the exception, rather than the rule. (There was a stat I saw that in 2010/11, there were something like 200,000 employment claims accepted and costs were awarded in 480)

Further, recoverable costs are generally capped at £20k, so it's even harder for the tribunal to go beyond that; you have to show, for example, the claim was vexatious or the other party acted completely unreasonably.

Tough to know when we only read what's in the press, but it seems McCririck has enough of a case to get it accepted in court, has argued a valid point about his diminishing work with channel four and has presented a response to claims he was a comic figure, rather than a serious journalist. Whatever we think of that, it doesn't sound completely absurd.

Just my unprofessional opinion, anyway.

If there are any employment lawyers ITT with more insight, I would be interested to hear what they think

Dear Consultant

http://www.oddschecker.com/tv/strictly-come-dancing/next-elimination

McDonald is priced up to go, and that looks likely

Can he pull out a big performance to stay out of the bottom two? Possibly


I think a good alternative is

- a bloke who is desperately nervous/self-conscious
- rigid, no personality, can't act his way through
- no platform to ask for votes

and is 25/1

Ben Cohen. thought his ballroom was disappointing and over-marked

this week back to latin, where he looked like a llama in the headlights in week one


against this

- he's a beefcake and housewives might want him in
- kristina rihanoff is excellent and popular

but a £5 note at 25-1...could see him being bottom two


feltz is a classic softee story, women of a certain age will identify with the "my heart has been broken" tears and jordan will never get voted out early....hairy biker is funny, fullarton will be ok, meaden won't go yet

none of the others will be bottom two on scoring

thoughts?


Consultant replied

So glad you chose him!

If he's still in come December, he will be a contender. I think he looked a lot looser yesterday until he started to freeze (like he remembered he was dancing on telly) and he will pick things up. He will do a good quickstep, you would think.

This week, he has a RUMBA. I'd be setting the line at 18.5. It's not a dance for the stiff of hip and the long and muscly of arm.

Julian, meanwhile, has told the loose women he is doing a JIVE. The producers are being kind to him in the first three dances. This suits short people and he will have lots of fun with thumpy music. This is his best chance to survive.

The biggest problem you have is that the judges might already want him out.

But then Ben is 25/1...

Do it



We recommend £5 Ben Cohen next elimination SCD at 25-1

A punt, but he should be bottom 4 of 13 in the judges scores, then we all ring up and vote for Julien McDonald
