Tips for Tikay

England first wicket lost for 36, so no good for the bet

[tikay]

"the game drew 111.9 million viewers, per time zone-adjusted ratings from CBS. That’s the second-highest mark ever for a Super Bowl behind last year’s game, which pulled in 114.1 million people.

The game peaked with 115.5 million viewers from 8:30-9 p.m. ET (half time show). Live streams of the game drew 3.96 million unique viewers on CBS and NFL properties, a Super Bowl record in the relatively new streaming world. The average minute audience for streaming was 1.4 million."

Thanks Rich.

I was just curious about that proposed bet by Killerkilsby.

I'm not aftertiming, as I can't recall what the bet was, but it bothered me that viewing audiences can be measure different ways (TV, Digital, & various other parameters), as your reply shows. (111.9, then 115.5 "peak", & its unclear if the Live Streams are within that.

Perfect spot to get freerolled by a bookie, that was my fear.

"Omm"

Some of you may have noticed that Omm, one of the nicest regular guys on both Fred, & the Racing Threads, has been AWOL for some time.

He appeared on another (non-sport) thread over the weekend, so I wrote to him to see if he was OK, as he has suffered terribly with nasty health issues for some years.

It seems that he is on the mend now, but has had a quite a tough time, as he had to come off the various medications & painkillers first.

He's achieved that, & is now back at work, got himself a new job, & is going along nicely. For now, he's abandoned poker though, "priorities" & all that.

When things settle down, he says he'll return to Fred, & blonde generally, which he says he enjoyed very much.

That's spooky, as I was actually thinking about Omm yesterday evening, and was going to text Adz to see if he'd spoken to him lately.

Good egg, so glad that things are looking up for him anyway, and hopefully we'll see him back soon.

Cheers guys, all good my end, life is on the up and new job is going great. Strange how much less time you have for the things you love when you go back to normal employment.

Some great bets and discussion recently.

Newcastle sky dogs tonight, only got a quick minute to put a couple up so explanations may be brief for now...

7.26 Ballymac Cathal 8/1 - took some 10s earlier but generally available great price sole wide that led up and beat the 13/8 favourite last week fair and square. Rec £25

7.59 walshes hill 10/11 - arguably best sprinter in the country 10:11 standout with hills will be a 1/2 shot tonight. Rec £110

9.08 blastoff Mccaw 5/1 - not sure if Fred can get on with 5/1 paddys but take + here can see this being second fav later around the 3-1 mark. Flies out and doesn't really stop with the short price in 2 not drawn great and still very green and making mistakes - no doubting it's the fastest dog in the race though and will be a star this year for sure. Rec £40

Oxford have had a tough run of fixtures with 3 loses in their last 5 in all competitions and only 2 wins in their last 5 at home in the league. Tonight they host a Mansfield side who have won 6 from their last 10 away and are in generally in much better form in all competitions than Oxford.

Mansfield currently have a fully fit squad with Oxford having a first team striker in Ryan Taylor.

I feel like this is over priced at what is being offered across the board, with a top price at 6/1 on b365 (aware we are heavily restricted here).

Mansfield win @ 11/2 most places. rec £15

Oxford haved been backed in to 4/7, blue everywhere

might it be that they've had 10 days off? form isn't that bad either, won at Portsmouth last league game.

anyway

Mansfield Oxford v Mansfield Winner
11/2
Total Stake: £15.00
Potential Returns: £97.50

Afternoon Tighty.

I think we should back Delbonis to beat Fognini at the Buenos Aires  tennis tournament. There is not much between these 2, Fognini leads the h2h 2 - 1, but all 3 matches went to 3 sets and a fair number went to tie breaks. I thought Delbonis looked sharper over the  early tournaments this season and add in that this tournament is in his homeland, and we get 13/8 makes him a bet.

Suggest £15 Delbonis @ 13/8 with betfred.

Double brick on the cricket, no early wickets for the England seamers. Apologies guys, looked a strong bet on past stats :-(
