Have I missed something?

Where is Arbboy?

Is he on holiday?

Is he ok?

He is fine as far as I know, he played the Genting Event last weekend.

I did enquire if he was OK a few days ago, & as it happens, a pal of mine told me had texted him to ask exactly that & he replied he was just having a bit of a break. I sent him a PM, too, just to say I hope he is not unwell.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Glad he is ok.

There is a really interesting article on shot on target suprem figures on page 23 of the football pullout in today's RP that footy punters should find a very interesting read.

It emerged overnight that the Mavericks are trying to secure Rondo from the Celtics in a trade

this article refers http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/mavericks/post/_/id/4704068/the-risks-and-rewards-of-rajon-rondo?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

i assume this might be good news for Rondo and good news for our bet on the Mavericks?

It's tough to say really. With the Celtics Rondo has the ball in his hands all the time that he's on the court allowing him to get a tonne of assists, but I think with Dallas that wouldn't be the case, having Ellis and even Parsons handle the ball a fair amount. Having said that, the Mavericks score the most points in the NBA so, depending how they want Rondo to play, could be more assist chances. In terms of how it would help the Mavericks overall, I'm sure it would be a good upgrade from their poor backcourt, and it seems the Celtics are primarily looking for draft picks and maybe Brandon Wright (probably the most efficient reserve out there) which would be a shame to lose, and a replacement guard I'd guess, likely Nelson.

Argueboy probably sulking, his rants about aftertiming not so long ago had me thinking of William Foster.

Mentions of 2015 targets starting to crop up all over the place in diaries.

Prompts me to ask: do the pro punters here set themselves monthly/yearly profit or other targets?

What is the best target to set as a motivational tool?

Anyone got a view on Bolton at Millwall on Friday night.

Lennon seems to have them well organised conceding only 2 goals in last 6 games.

They have lost a couple of young forwards to injury though.

Thought 27/10 might be a bit of value against an inconsistent Millwall?

I'd appreciate any thoughts.

Be interesting to see what the prices are like in Coral shops now...


(From the RP)



CORAL have broken new ground by guaranteeing to lay win bets up to a payout of £5,000 in their betting shops on races shown live on Channel 4.

The new approach comes into operation from Saturday, covering Channel 4's six races from Ascot and Haydock featuring The Ladbroke and Tommy Whittle Handicap Chase, and will continue until further notice.

The Racing Post recently ran a special two-day report on how some punters have faced stringent restrictions when trying to bet on racing, and Coral have reacted by introducing the guarantee.

Coral spokesman Simon Clare said: "We have listened and decided to take action by introducing this new customer-friendly guarantee in order to demonstrate our willingness to lay big bets on big races to each and every customer that wants one."

The bookmaker claimed there will be no exceptions for the liability bet guarantee, with the only stipulations that the bets are placed after 9am on the day.



"The reality is that over 99 per cent of all bets offered up in our shops on horseracing are laid as requested," said Clare.

"We take roughly 1.5 million bets on horseracing a week and receive around 2,000 calls per week from shops for racing bets that need approval from the traders, the majority of which are laid.

"The majority of those racing bets that are restricted in shops are those offered up on lower-grade midweek races, or those with an unprofitable shape for each-way betting purposes, and by customers that know more than the bookie on those events or who are looking to exploit an obvious edge.

"We want and need to offer a full betting service on all races, regardless of grade and each-way shape, for the vast majority of ordinary, horseracing punters who like to bet each day, but clearly this does mean we have to trade these lesser events much more cautiously.

"On the flip-side however we are committed to taking a much more aggressive trading approach to the many bigger and better horse races nearly all of which are broadcast on Channel 4."

engy asked, i think, how best to do these, and i wasn't around to give my answer at the right time last weeked


i think there are three potential types of approaches (please correct me if i am wrong)

(not recommendations, just indicative)

using prices for liverpool-arsenal bet365

1. very conservative

initial £50 bet over 0.5 goals 1/20 returns £52.50

in play bet any correct score/first goalscorer where the price matches/beats betfair


2. medium risk

initial £50 bet team to win of your choice

in play £50 the same bet

effectively doubles the win odds of the team of your choice

eg Arsenal 6/4 twice gives you Arsenal to win at 3/1


3. "active selection"

initial £50 bet as you wish eg Arsenal to win 6/4

in play £50 bet any correct score etc where the price matches/beats betfair


bet365 will duck competitive prices on most correct scores/goalscorers and for restricted accounts you probably won't get the full £50 on anything outside teams to win


not sure if someone like doobs wants to add anything


FWIW (not a lot) I tend to do team to win in advance-team to win in play to double my effective odds

i like this

looking at the form tables on http://www.soccerstats.com/formtable.asp?league=england2

last six games (lennon appointment on) Bolton are in play off form

i watched them on tv once, away at norwich i think. short of a goalscorer (shipped off beckford quickly, then clayton was injured) and width, but lennon has them organised and difficult to beat.

Millwall should be beatable by an improving side?
