Doobs is it worth getting out of the Perri bet by backing Richard at evens? He certainly must have got a huge amount of votes last night.

Superb post Rubbish, generous to a fault.

Just logged on to see a thirty thousand word dissertation on the alphabet and forty five pages of people saying they enjoyed it. Not one bet between them.

This thread's gone right downhill.

Happy Birthday. What a load of Rubbish!

Back to yesterday and another day to forget

A loss of £94 and one single lone sole winner, the smart novice hurdler Red Sherlock out-duelled Rathvinden and served up a £56 profit. Would have been different if Ruby was on Rathvinden, a reliable judge insisted

That aside, the litany of losers continued in January

- £25 loss taken on Bopara in the ODI  series

- £20 loss taken on Buttler, who is currently batting but cannot top score

- £20 loss taken on Michael Hoey who faded to a last round 74 to finish T61.

- £45 loss on Big Bucks who saved his first reverse in 19 attempts for when we were on. As the jockey went for home in 2013 and left him out front to be shot at, the writing was on the wall at the top of the hill

- £25 Rocky Creek, 2nd for a free bet, which led to the last and then metaphorically decided to down tools up the hill in the testing conditions

- £10 Robert milkins The Clock is ticking. but not for him

- £10 Xio Guodong. The Clock is ticking. but not for him


Still, things are looking good elsewhere

Tiger Woods saved his second worst ever round as a professional for yesterday, behind the 2002 open (shot 81) and his 79 at Torrey Pines equal with Winged Hollow in 2010 and the Memorial in 2013. I wonder if yesterday was the easiest course. I haven't taken it as a loss yet. Miracles might happen

In better news Pat Perez is T4 on -6 two off the lead held by Gary "Household Name but at least he doesn't shoot 79" Woodland.£20 at 20-1 would help, if he could win

Ali Carter made the last 16 of the Snooker Fixout, where he has been drawn to face Jamie Cope.


In longer term positions Britt Assombolonga stormed to the top of the L1 Golden Boot race (15 goals, equal with Leon Clarke) by scoring in Peterborough's triumphant 4-5 loss at Oldham. Going to Boundary Park is an experience, as Peterborough found. Wind-swept even in a still day.

Leicester beat Middlesborough 2-0 to go 8 points clear at the top of the Championship. The Camel's 4-1 e/w looking one of the forward bankers in the book

Sadly David Nugent missed his third penalty of the season. Could have done with that. Leicester have been awarded 14 league penalties this season. Of course this was part of my thinking when I recommended him. Possibly. Leicester now go to Birmingham on Tuesday seeking a club record 8th league victory on the spin

Elsewhere Tranmere won to go three places above the relegation zone and send Sheff Utd into the bottom 4

Portsmouth drew 2-2 having been winning and they too are showing few signs  of climbing the table as we wish

Reading lost yesterday, remain 6th but 19 points off the top

In Italy we have Napoli for Serie A and they were held yesterday by Chievo. Napoli 3rd 12 points behind Juventus, which neverthless gives a glimmer of hope for Fiorentina backers in the tangle of contingent bets we have in Serie A

Annie Power bolted at at Cheltenham and we are reading the runes on £25 at 12-1 voucher for the Champion Hurdle. I saw one outlet yesterday went 7/2 Annie Power to win any race at the festival. Could be an interesting one

Finally, reports suggest that our chunky bets on Splashing tumbler Perri Keily are in trouble, due to the performances of someone called Richard Whitehead. No fear though, The Jump starts tonight

Sam Allardyce is still West Ham Manager.

Its February soon

Man City @ 5/2 at Victor looks big to this whale ?

I'm aware of the current score

great shout.

As was Chompy's

Yup - brave effort - weird though he bought on Kompany & Zabaleta, to shore up their back four (who were all over the place in the first half) and it was they that changed the game. Watford ran out of puff, and class took over (helped by a couple of goalie errors) and City powered ahead.

Might have been a bit different if the ref hadn't bottled the pen decision - but the mere thought of sending off a 'top goalie' obv appalled him.

Ho hum, gl to the Mancs

Absolutely laughable that ITV didn't show the penalty incident on their "highlights"

Don't think so.  Betfair is significantly bigger on Richard and we can't get out of Perry at the right price because of the liquidity on Betfair.  Austin is probably the bet, as the market has gone weird.  

Richard could crush obviously, but I just don't see what others find amazing.  He has a disability, but he is still an athlete.  

Congratulations those that got on at the big prices.

It'd have to be some miracle for Woods to win Tighty. He missed the secondary cut!

NH Rubbish.  Who needs Advent Calendars with writeups like that??

Great post Rubbish. Well played to all who make Fred such a must read. To those who just lurk and never sign-up...please give some thought to contributing and not just taking.

Melbourne Stars are playing Perth Scorchers in the early hours of the morning.

Stars have won every game so far, this is the last game of the group stages. Scorchers need to win to secure a home semi final, anyway I'm drifting away from my bet.

Mohammed Hafeez has been drafted in by the Stars as a replacement for Lasith Malinga. He is a top quality all rounder and I'd expect him to bat in the top 4. Prices have been released by most firms and triple 8 who have put out a crazy price of 8/1.

£30 on Hafeez @ 8/1 to top score and see if we can get out of the January red.

He is also too big @ 14's for MOM, he bowls aswell as batting. £10 on that too.

Golf Banzai Time

Torrey Pines is likely to be very hard going with a bit more breeze than yesterday.  It is a course where you can come from off the pace to win or place as the leaders falter.

I like the chances of two players who seem to go for it on the final round rather than look to ladder up a few places.  Kevin Chappell and Ian Poulter are both 100-1 shots (several places) and must be worth £5ew.

Exceptional Rubbish. Thank you.
