Tighty the Chris Riley try scorer bet is a loser. Wakefield lost heavily and look an awful team. I will certainly be looking to oppose them for the rest of the season, including in next weeks challenge cup match.

Nothing to apologise for Tighty, who could possibly have predicted that?
All the pollsters got it completely wrong, as far as I can see.
Quite incredible how poll after poll got it so wrong....even a substantial poll on election day. How can it be missed that only one man and his dog was going to vote for the LibDems? |

I would just like to thank Tighty for his reports and analysis on the General Election. Fantastic to have all that information collated into one source. Really appreciate all his hard work. The Lib Dems unders bet was a cracker  |

Just to get the ball rolling, I Can't find the post but I think u mentioned you get 3x odds for first bet on 888? They are best price 6/1 on Rory for US open, poor price on its own but with the offer that would give u 18/1 on him which can't be bad can it? Think it might be limited to £25? seems like a nice home for offer.
Also keep an eye out as 888 do quite a few offers every month like deposit xxx and get the same as a free bet, usual via email.
The maximum stake for the treble odds is £10  |

Quite incredible how poll after poll got it so wrong....even a substantial poll on election day. How can it be missed that only one man and his dog was going to vote for the LibDems? As posted in the General Election thread when people started talking about certainties a couple of weeks out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_1992Almost every poll leading up to polling day predicted either a hung parliament, with Labour the largest party or a small Labour majority of around 19 to 23. Polls on the last few days before the country voted predicted a very slim Labour majority.
With opinion polls at the end of the campaign showing Labour and the Conservatives neck and neck, the actual election result was a surprise to many in the media and in polling organisations. The apparent failure of the opinion polls to come close to predicting the actual result led to an inquiry by the Market Research Society. Following the election, most opinion polling companies changed their methodology in the belief that a 'Shy Tory Factor' affected the polling.Tp be fair to the pollsters, they aren't massively out, 3% isn't that big. It was probably just the don't knows taking the safe option as they did in the Scottish Referendum. I guess a few people South of the border exercised the vote they were denied on an independent Scotland too. |

People forget the electorate vote for a person not a party. People keep giving the electorate too much credit and trying to assign logical arguments to how they vote/voted. The reason polls are so off is people were embarrassed to say they trusted cameron more because he looked like a PM.

Chuka has timbered from 5-1 this morning into around 5-2. Often seem to hear him on LBC radio, comes across well....down to earth . Cant have Burnham or Mrs.Balls. Saw the 5/1 earlier but dithered. |

Unfortunately the Wild ran into a Blackhawks team playing the absolute top of their game. The playoff experience in their lineup really shone through and they were deserved victors. Will be a tough out for anyone left and look the most likely cup winners at the moment. Would really like to see a Hawks/Lightning finals now. We'll get 'em next time.
