Tips for Tikay

[tikay]

And the Rooney to stay bet lands.

Athletico Madrid are well worth a punt for the CL at 50/1 e/w with SportingBet. Woulda done a write up for Fred but the price has generally crashed plus it takes forever to type stuff up with one good arm.

Bumped, for the record.


This was the first suggestion.

Some months later, Aaron also went for them at 20/1.

To be fair, I expect every team in the CL have been suggested at some stage by someone, but McGlashan gets the honours. Hope you had plenty on.

Anyone got a reason why you wouldn't just empty the bank on this ?

seen maywether points is 4/6 thought it would have been nearer 1/2 - mayweathers had 1 leg stoppage in about 8 years and dont think maiadanas ever been stopped but has been down the odd time

Seems like huge value to me.

No is what i said over in the boxing thread.

Ladbrokes offer evens on the final judgement being Mayweather by UD. That's unlikely to be worth the extra vig when they aren't best price on Mayweather by decision in the first place (1.62 by decision and dutching UD/MD/SD pays 1.52).

yeh the hopkins score was just wrong but in that garcia fight he was probably closet to being correct most people had herrera winning it


seen maywether points is 4/6 thought it would have been nearer 1/2 - mayweathers had 1 legit stoppage in about 8 years and dont think maiadanas ever been stopped but has been down the odd time

I agree with you on the Mayweather points thing plus it's currently 1.64/65 on Betfair. 2/3 will be as good as you get unless some tipsters out there start believing the hype and suggest Mayweather will go for the KO to enhance his legacy. 

I see no reason why he'd start going for KO's now, he hasn't for a long time.

The KO is a red herring used to sell the fight. Expect another Floyd Mayweather defensive masterclass.

In the snooker, terrific comeback by Neil Robertson to go through to the semis. Trump had the game pretty much sewn up, but got frozen out by Neil, and seemed to lose his way.

How can 0-0 be 6/1 but either team to qualify on pens be 22/1 pls? Surely there must be a bet in there somewhere....

Where is the 22/1?  That's a decent bet

Sorry: to clarify.

Beteverysingleday offer 22/1 on Chelsea to win pens and also offer 22/1 on Athletico to win pens.

It's 6/1 0-0 in 90 mins, 11/1 someone wins on pens, so I guess somewhere just below evens someone scores in extra time. All moot now though, c'mon Athletico:)

This game with under 2.5 goals pre game at close to 1/2 would have been decent odds on to be 0-0 in ET as well.  0-0 pre game was 13/2 tight on bf as well so the 11/1 implied the 0-0 in ET was a 8/13 shot for the double which would seem about spot on to me. 

I texted Dubai last night convincing him that we should dutch bet the 25/1 with PP or VC and he said cant be too bad but you dont want to watch 120mins funking for 0-0 so just told him to text me a sad face if a goal went in.

He did!

IMO if you bet overs you watch the match/event if your on under's there's no point yeah?

100 100s as well, which they were saying in the commentary box may never happen again.

Seems a bit poor sportsmanship by Judd not to at least give an applause, just sat there miserable.

Think it will happen every season now tbh given they play poor prize money events virtually every week around the world and they all count towards this total.  Think its massively misleading to compare it to previous eras when there was 5 or 6 events max in a season.

Yeah obv easier with so many more events, they all seemed to think it was a huge deal though, Robertson included.

Ding is 2nd for this season and has made 62, and that's with making 6 finals.

Chelsea set up with their normal formation.



And at 1-0 the bus looked parked.



But that man Costa scored again.



Leaving Jose's bus somewhat smashed to pieces.

Elsewhere, Boris Johnson's Son had a good evening.



100 100's if you know what I mean?

These have managed 10,000.



But they've been going a tad longer.

Two legends and Roy Keane meet on the touchline.



Not sure how recent this is?



And who is this, what is he doing and why?

P.S. Nice job Mere, where would we be without you?

Mere,

Thanks very much for the Monthly Update, albeit it was not posted until 18 minutes after midnight.

PS - Seriously, thank you very much, you remind me of a Volkswagen.

[tikay]

Another tremendous Gallery Mr Rubbish, thank you.
