Nice one, Mere.

Must be a new month.

[exstream]

Spotted a mistake on spread sheet.
The sport of e-sports is not listed as a sport, it's in misc.

[Micko]

Nishikori is into the semifinal and plays Djokovic tomorrow.

Can he beat Djok hector?

That's not a "mistake".
It's a matter of interpretation.

[exstream]

I should have put after my comment admittedly, however, what would make e-sport qualify as a sport?

Daily Report

Outstanding Bets £4686.26

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aia1Hxq-NDNWdFk3UmlTSXMzTjRBTVNfOWRndVFsZHc&usp=drive_web#gid=32

A loss of £65 to end October with two losers at the Breeders Cup on a night where Dettori gained his 11th Breeders cup win, on Hootennany



Ongoing positions

- Nishikori through to the semi finals of the Paris Masters, beating Ferrer 6-4 in the final set. He plays Djokovic in today's semi-final. In the other half Raonic beat Federer



- In practice for the US Grand Prix Hamilton was fastest in both FP1 and FP2 ahead of Rosberg. We have a winner coming here, one or the other, though it won't be settled until the last race of the season due to the ludicrous introduction of double points for Abu Dhabi



- In basketball relevant results for us, our bets in bold

Cleveland Cavaliers beat Chicago Bulls 118-111

LA Clippers beat the Lakers 118-111 

Phoenix Suns beat the San Antonio Spurs 94-89

For the Cavs it was their first win with their new big three and gave a glimpse of what they can do with this new line up



they had 27 Free throw attempts in the 25 Mins with LeBron James, Kevin Love & Kyrie Irving on the court together -- only 6 in the 28 Mins with one of them on the bench.

James had 18 drives to the basket, compared to just 4 drives against the Knicks in their opening loss. He scored 36 points, the most he's scored against the Bulls since November 2008.

The Cavs won despite shooting 2-for-20 from outside the paint in the 2nd half/OT, including 0-for-8 on 3-pt FG.

Only another eight months of basketball statistics to go

In football Norwich join Wolves, Watford & Derby on 26 at the top of the Championship after seeing off Bolton 2-1 at Carrow Road

Once more, our bet Hooper is on the bench, unable to displace Cameron Jerome from the starting line up, after being injured at the beginning of the season. Jerome scored twice to go to 8 for the season

I should also have put an after my comment. A surfeit of red wine dulled my wit, sadly.

With regard to the definition of a "sport" then, with the exception of wheelchair sports, I believe that there is a requirement for the activity to be one that cannot be played whilst sitting down and drinking a beer. That would rule out any playing of video games in my view.

With regard to the spreadsheet, any activity that has enough individual bets would qualify as a "sport" but I'm not intending to retrospectively apply any changes for bets which have previously been attributed to "Misc.".

I hope that helps.

Ha, brilliant. Post more, Mere.

As to the "problem", like all stuff we only have very occasional bets on, "Misc" is fine, otherwise the Spready will just become unmanageable & unreadable. 

I suppose "LolSports" would work, mind.

I'm not a frequent bettor on footie but WBA who I think have been improving, look a little big to me today against a Leicester side which seem to have somewhat lost their way (sorry Tighty), so I've taken some of the 3.45 available on betty.

Any opinions on this?

[DropTheHammer]

For anyone who can get on at Boysports, they seem to have some lovely short-odds horsies in the Ch 4 races where they give up to £25 cash back if it finishes 2nd. One of the races only has 3 runners!

Having put some stats up on RT, one that fits the bill that also may resonate with TFT regs.

7.43. 7/8 runnings were won by 3 or 4 year olds. This leaves 4 qualifiers. Of those I really like Secret Gesture.

It looks like her season may have been geared up for this, with a very light campaign and nothing that has previously looked like a primary target.

The great news is she finally has Frank Spencer off her back and has Irish Champion Jockey Pat Smullen on board. She is well drawn in the middle, and normally displays enough early speed to hold a decent early position, that has looked a prerequisite so far.

Ralph has been making some positive noises.

10-1 looks nice. Ew of course.
