Tips for Tikay

Was going to say, I watched the first 1/4, and he was terrible. I put it back on when you posted, and they're talking about triple-doubles

That three was just different gear!

In the words of Stephen A. 'He's bigtime, he's a bad boy'

Looking around Blonde, it looks like argue was big on the sauce yesterday....

A loss of £223 yesterday

Splitting it down into three components

1 long term football, a loss of £129

+£175 Palace top ten. A surprising yet welcome outcome. For most of us. It saved the thread from the £400 forecast ante-post loss



Because we are fans of the Greatest manager of all time

Newcastle with Pardew: 1.37 pts/game Newcastle post-Pardew: 0.68 pts/game Palace pre-Pardew: 0.85 pts/game Palace with Pardew: 1.61 pts/game

+£50 Palace v WBA Season points.

+£16 QPR bottom for £66 less Burnley bottom for -£50

-£200 Wellbeck top Arsenal goalscorer. good start, didn't kick on

-£100 Rooney golden boot. we didn't expect him to be parked in front of his back four for a good slug of the season

-£20 Aguero >32 league goals. finished with 26 in 33 appearances

-£20 West Ham top half (-£40) less the west ham top half cover (+£20)

-£10 Lamela golden boot. Yes, really

-£10 Jelavic golden boot. No, really

-£10 Balotelli to do anything through the season (and for this bet get sent off, far too much like hard work)

2 Monaco Grand Prix

two thirds of the way through the race we were set up for a nice result.

...and it all changed

+£22 Perez points, a very fine drive

-£50 Maldonado. his 5th non finish in 6th racdes, surely Pastor is one of the least reliable betting propositions in any sport?

NBA

The Cleveland Cavs beat the Atlanta Hawks to go 3-0 in their best of 7 conference series. Lebron was injured, and started poorly but powered the Cavs to the brink of the championship finals. It was described as one of the great lebron performances in his canon.

with the warriors and the cavs both 3-0 up 4 to play, there is a chance of two conference final sweeps which has not happened since the play offs started in 1950

Kvyat finished just ahead of Ricciardo. He now has 17 points to his team-mates 35

Great work, Tighty.

And great work everyone for getting such a massive amount of blue in the month where Fred has to swallow such monster losses on the prem.

How have we done overall on the Prem season, by the way?

the ante-post book was down less than £100 (just totting up bets that settled in the last six weeks)

month by month during the season, would need to go back and check

There's a 12/1 the field book on the next Brentford manager. Marinus Dijkhuizen unquoted as yet.

Most amusing Daily Report Tighty, thank you.

So that's the "season" Football bets mostly done & dusted, including one or two hefty losses, but we are still headed for another chunky blue month. Could not be more pleased. We did get more than a shade lucky with the Palace Top Ten bet, but it all evens out over time, & we've run bad plenty of times.

In NBA, the Cavs in great shape, too. 

Outstanding bets are down to sub £2,000, for the first time in years. I understand that if we are profitable, we should bet as much as we possibly can, but it's designed to be a fun thread where we try & nick a few bob as a bonus along the way, & in that regard, it does extremely well.

Given that Benham is not a man we can easily second guess, that looks value on the face of it, though I suppose it depends who, & how many, are quoted.

Some comedy names in the field, though. Given the team is being run on maths this season, it's rather hard to see an old school manager at the wheel.

Dijkhuizen has been linked with the job overnight. It's going to be that sort of appointment. I wouldn't be expecting Paul Ince to appear on the scrolling banner beneath Natalie Sawyer in the next few days.

If the likes of Paul Ince or Big Sam are appointed, I'll eat my hat.

I'm still a bit perplexed by Big Sam's departure. Not a man that is easy to warm to, no, but I thought he did a reasonable job with a team that are, in truth, mid-table material at best. It would not be a stretch of the imagination to see them as relegation candidates next season, imo. I'd say they have over-achieved under Sam.

I suppose it was a personality clash with the owners?

[Chompy]

I've read that Dijkhuizen is due to be announced as the manager today.

Wouldn't be looking to back anyone in the current list, esp Darren Ferguson at 16-1. Add a couple of zeros and I'd still pass.

Daily Report


Because we are fans of the Greatest team of all time

That is how I read it first time off and thought finally someone understands

Great report there.

Not quite sure if for the last three seasons I have been a shrewd Palace bettor, or it is only because I am a mug and it has coincided with the best three years I remember being a Palace fan. Ha.

I will be back to review the ante post for the start of next season, I'm hoping for similar value to that at the start of this, because Warnock tarnished the record, however it is yet to be seen what a Pulis or a Pardew could do for Palace throughout the WHOLE season and it is easy to ride crests of psychological waves after having dire starts from Holloway and Warnock where our results may be slightly unrepresentative if one manager stayed on through. It must have helped that by Xmas in both years the whole squad had a huge pressure of expectancy relieved from them because relegation was somewhat expected.

Interesting stat here for you though which can be read as Palace have a great squad capable of good things if under the 'right' guidance, or not that:

Record under Pulis/Pardew

Played 26 - 38 points under Pulis
Played 18 - 31 points under Pardew

Total Played 44 - 69 points

If condensed into a premier league season of 38 games - 59.6 points

That has us knocking on Europe's door. Lol.

Sam did exactly what he was asked to do

get them up, establish them in the PL

now of course throughout this the fans wanted to win in a style inconsistent with Sam's approach, so there was always that tension

so Sam typically brings in players that suit his tactics, then leaves and clubs generally struggle when he does leave don't they (in part because those players don't fit the tactics of more progressive managers)? blackburn, bolton and newcastle all went down the season after he went?

the lack of goals since christmas would leave me concerned for next season

[Tal]

Agree, tighty. There will be a lot of people interested in what price they are chalked up at for relegation. Whoever comes in (presumably Bilic), the board will need to give him a lot of money to build from scratch, because there's a lot of precedent of managers following Big Sam trying to use the same square pegs in the new round holes.
