Tips for Tikay

[Tal]

Apparently chandimal has dropped himself and malinga really is captain and it isn't a joke like we all thought.

What's going on?!

chandimal was banned for the last game and malinga captained superbly. great motivational stuff and v good tactically

seems a nice unselfish decision to me if chandimal doesn't think he is part of the best eleven#


meanwhile....could we get Paulinho some TEFL lessons to get him back in the team please?

Yes, I read this this morning. Ummed and ahhed about posting it

Repeat after me...

"At the end of the day, yerknow, the boys give it everything out there today and we're gutted for the fans that we couldn't, yerknow, get the result we all wanted. It's always tough coming here because they make it hard for you, yerknow..."

Some of you might remember Bill Hartston as the winner of (and later resident expert on) The Master Game. Others might know him from Gogglebox or the Daily Express.

Anyway, chess, Cambridge, a dodgy application of maths over tiny sample sizes, eccentricity. What's not to like?

This looks like a really good offer to me for those with a working Bet365 account. Looks like more money for me to punt off this week. These weeks are great for my ice cream account

Western Warhorse is 5/1 with Paddy power as part of there power hour promotion

Psycho appointed as Nottingham Forest Manager - Marky got the lot again, I suppose?

I think Red got the lot, but I steered clear.

Nope - not a single penny on unfortunately.

Onto todays action I definitely like the idea of laying The New One.   Everyone is pricing it with the assumption it is the moral champion hurdle winner and ignoring the fact that Champion Hurdle winners have a horrendous record in this race.  It takes a totally different horse to win over half a mile further on this flat track.  I like Diakali fwiw.

[BigAdz]

33/1 Neil Lennon to Nottingham Forest of any interest?

surely an available manager has to be a stronger possibility? Lennon could get a PL job in the summer if he wanted to move on?

Zola is evens favourite, and you can see that I think

Malky Mackay (16-1)  must be sought after by any championship side with ambition looking, but there are a couple of flies in the ointment I suppose a) can he take a job while he is in legal dispute with cardiff? (reference di matteo not taking one until chelsea finish paying him) and b) would he go somewhere dysfunctional with chairman issues?

S Pearce has pretty much stuck his hand up and said he would take the job. With his Forest connections he has to be a strong candidate. 6-1

If I was him, its a hiding to nothing as a Forest legend, but then no one thinks like me.

I Leave Next Manager stuff to horsey and Marky

Ahem....a little before the others, and a better price..I TY

I haven't got the Betfair log in unfortunately, otherwise i'd lay The New One for tikay. think 4 people have agreed with that one


if there were formal recommendations for things like diakali, first lt etc i would get on if william hill were competitively priced

A great judge once told me 'you will never go skint laying a short one'!  He knows who he is!

I actually think the opposite these days, loads of stuff that is short should be way shorter, too many people scared to get stuck in to long odds on- and as Redarmi has said a few times, traders don't get sacked laying 1/3 winners when they should be 1/5, but go 33-1 about a 32-1 chance and it wins and you're in big trouble

I actually agree totally with you dubai.  It was a piss take out of redarmi if i am honest because he loves laying a short one!

I learnt my lesson on that one long ago....probably about the point when at VC where I had the reputation as the office bookie and Tony Bloom called me into his office and asked me if I fancied laying him a few athletics bets that were all 1/3 and shorter.  If I remember rightly one I knocked back was Michael Johnson at 1/4 to win the 400m.......which just goes to show how bad prices were back then.  He would be 1/33 if the race was run now!!!!
