Tips for Tikay

[TightEnd]

SPOTY

Ennis-Hill 10/11
Froome 8/1
Murray 8/1
Hamilton 8/1
Farah 16/1
Rooney 22/1

People who won't win 40/1

You can get 1/4 first three with some bookies.

Is this just each way thievery?

I'd back whichever of lewis, froome and murray will finish 4th. Nailed on

davis cup final is just before the SPOTY night, live on BBC by the way

with hamilton likely to clinch in the next 2-3 races i would suggest immediacy bias means Froome finishes 4th?

[arbboy]

Couldn't have rooney on my mind at 16/1 (his current bf price).

Agreed.

Do we not just back people who aren't the 10/11 shot (subject to reasonable betfair prices) each way and count our winnings?

Just looks like a 6 horse race where we get 2/1 a place for 3 guys vying for two spots, plus the bonus of Murray winning the Davis Cup and taking the lot.

Murray can't finish outside the top three in a BBC poll, surely?



Edit: I know it's dangerous to count out the greatest British sportsman of all time...

Don't we just break even if two place at 2/1 and one doesn't? Or have I got my maths wrong. Assuming none of them win of course.

I think Ennis Hill looks clearly too short. I think the discussion might be only theoretical as Victor don't seem to want to lay much on this market.  I think Hamilton is max 12.50 e/w at 8/1 and I was heavily restricted similarly on Murray a bit ago.

[Chompy]

Agree with Dooooobs, Jess is an absurd price. Don't see any way Lewis is out of the three.

+£151.50

force india +15 points, season total 92 we are £2 a point at 69

mclaren +3 points season total 20 we are -£1 a point at 153

kvyat 8 points
ricciardo retired

season points kvyat 74 ricciardo 73

bet is Kvyat v ricciardo 9/2   20

I was due a solid weekend like this, good stuff

Thanks to all those who congratulated me/us 

I remember one of peters first goals when he came on Fred was to turn a big -ROI into a + one are we close yet? Force India and mclaren bets both look huge

That's right, it was minus £550 ish when I joined here, looks like we're going to end up on a big plus at the end of the season. Although, I don't just want a big plus, I want to get motorsport top 

[Peter-27]

For the record, having looked at the remain races, I expect the following points for Force India & McLaren:

USA/MEX/BRA/ABU

Force India, currently 92. 4/8/16/4 = 124
McLaren, currently 19. 2/0/4/1 = 26

great stuff peter

if your expect mclaren to score 7 points surely as pointed out swinebag we should be getting out at the price of 6?

For those that can, 33-1 Posh EW for L1, and 18-1 to win the playoffs are cracking bets with Scuy.

As long as Maddison and Angol stay put in January, anything is possible now we finally have someone in charge with half an idea.

We have a really easy November, with Fleetwood (H), Crewe (A), Barnsley (H) and Scunthorpe (A), and the next three games, Port Vale (A), Wigan (H) and Doncaster (H) aren't too bad either.

Cheers Chomps, that 18-1 is probably a good home for my £5 free bet this week.

Moeen Ali Pakistan - England Top England Batsman
8/1
Total Stake: £50.00
Potential Returns: £450.00

ladbrokes went before my eyes, limited to a tenner at corals, no chance at stan james.

8/1 for series still excellent and in a few spots

Support for Ali opening builds ahead of first test tomorrow at 7am.

Big Sam tells us what happened when he went for an interview for the England job:

"I wanted to do a real knock-your-socks-off interview for the FA, so I put together a PowerPoint which looked at every single detail.

There was nothing missing. Nobody but nobody was going to beat it.

But then Brian Barwick, the chief executive, told me there were no PowerPoint facilities at the interview venue, so I had to print off hard copies for the panel.

So much for the progressive FA."
