Tips for Tikay

[Cavey007]

If Tighty wants to verify this then i'll let him have a read...

But I think that DeAndre Hopkins yards are set far too high in their match v the Vikings today, Skybet have 79.5 yards as their line. The Vikings haven't given up more than 75 to any single receiver all season, held Odell Beckham to 23 last week, kept Kelvin Benjamin to 0 yards the week before, Jordy Nelson came close, with 73 in week 2 but this unit has improved since then. Additionally Hopkins only got 4 yards last week against a poor Titans team and that was late in the 4th quarter.

Can I recommend £20 at 10/11 on -79.5 yards at Skybet. If you can't get on there (I can never remember where you can and can't) then there's a few others offering slightly lower lines, but they should still come in http://www.oddschecker.com/american-football/nfl/houston-texans-at-minnesota-vikings/total-receiving-yds-deandre-hopkins so wherever you can get on really.

Won't make you rich at those odds, but they it should land

Also think that Martellus Bennett is overpriced at around 2/1 (12/5 at PP) in most places, I don't think Gronk is healthy but he'll still attract a lot of the attention, Brady is back (You may of heard of him) and they got shut out last week, they're going to be pissed off. This one is a little more dodgy as Gronk would usually be the go to target, but I don't think he's near fit, unfortunately with the Patriots it's hard to find much out about players health so for all we know he may of just been held back for now although it seems unlikely. - I'll leave this one up to discretion, but seems a generous price. http://www.oddschecker.com/american-football/nfl/new-england-patriots-at-cleveland-browns/anytime-touchdown-scorer

The list of places we can bet is on the first post of this thread, updated last week

We can never bet with Skybet, because of a conflict of interest

the best i could do on Nuk is u74.5

Gronk, reportedly the first week he is going to be doing deep routes rather than blocking/decoy as last week. with Brady back i would want more than 2/1 on Bennett.

Looked through the markets, got no more bets to suggest for F1 or FE.

That is on the assumption you're all on:

Race Winner - Nico Rosberg - Over EVS (F1)
Race Winner - Jean-Eric Vergne - Over 2/1 (FE)
Top Six Finish - Sergio Perez - 13/10 minimum (F1)

Having said that, one spread bet to suggest:

Buying Perez against Hulkenberg at 4. Perez is the stronger driver this season, and on this circuit. Plus he starts three grid spots ahead. This should be more like 6 or 7.

WINNER, well done Peter.

Now for the, err, other one.

The Formula E bet means it's a loss for me personally this weekend. Unfortunately, Jean-Eric had a technical gremlin which essentially put him out of the race. Although he did have a poor qualifying session anyway.

The good news is that the car is quick, and Jean-Eric is still my pick for the title

Wow Tikay, that picture is two seasons old, get with the times

if we are going to so £30 Norwich, Bet365 are 16-1 if anyone wants to help.

That's the thing though Peter.

Try a little test.

Go to google, type "Jean Eric Vergne", then go to "Images", & every photograph - or certainly the first 50 shown - is either him wearing his Toro Rosso gear (he drove for them in F1 from 2012-2014, as you know) or Ferrari F1 gear, where he is a Test Driver I believe. Not a single photo of him in Formula E apparel.

Now change the search question to "Jean-Eric Vergne, Formula E" & the first photo you see is the one I uploaded. And most subsequent photos are also from the same era.  

He has a fairly large Wiki page, too, with acres of stuff about his Formula Renault,  Formula 3, GP3 & then, F1 career. And a little footnote about his Formula E exploits.

Formula E just does not have the profile yet.

I really find it quite hard to watch, too, primarily because of the Mickey Mouse nature of the circuits. Each to their own, of course, & if you can give us a winner or two, I might just warm to it.

Meanwhile, in the ODI, England are 132-8, chasing.....238.

No-one's claiming it does, it's not supposed to have that profile yet! Formula E has been running for just over two years, Formula One has been running for a little over 66 years. Formula E has actually exceeded expectations for where they predicted the series to be at this stage, and it's bringing a new audience to motorsport, which is a good thing (on the assumption you want to see motorsport develop).

The "Mickey Mouse" nature of the circuits isn't for everyone, however one of the USP's of Formula E is that all races take place on street or temporary circuits, that's just one of the founding philosophies of the series. The Monaco GP is run on a street track and that very much divides opinion, but there's no denying that it is one of F1's more prestigious races.

I know Tikay's been waiting with baited breath for this years X Factor tips.......

First live show was last night....any thought's re tonight elimination?

Bratavio                 8/11
Ryan Lawrie            16/1
Emily Middlemas      50/1
Freddy Parker         10/3
Honey G                25/1
Gifty Louise            66/1
Relley C                 13/2
Samantha Lavery     33/1
Matt Terry              100/1
Saara Aalto             8/1
5 After Midnight      40/1  

no value in Bratavio....obviously cant sing /joke act....but not sure these acts always go in the first week. Might get enough votes to stay out of bottom two, with a flash app vote this yr for bottom 3.

I see Freddy, clear 2nd fav to go, has the least likes on facebook (under 0.9k)....compared to 1.3K, 1.7K, 2K, 2.1K ...up to 14K for Matt.

I've had a little bit on him to go at 7/2.... and a bit more on bottom 2 at 8/5 on betfairy.

Aso think Saara could be in the bottom 3.

Well perhaps that might explain why it's is not THAT easy to find up to date & accurate images to satisfy the purists.

Anyway, I'll leave you to post Formula E Images in future.

Can Fred get £33 at 10/11 on UNDER 44.5 points with any of these fine establishments?

http://www.oddschecker.com/american-football/nfl/washington-redskins-at-baltimore-ravens/total-points

I've been notified of the weather by a very helpful Elder. It's very windy. Anything over 15mph affects the ball through the air and teams run it more. Looking at 20-25mph with gusts of twice that.

Running the ball means the clock carries on and the ball doesn't travel as far in one go, so fewer points.  

44 is a big number so we want that in our favour.


Elsewhere, those that can should be taking over 61.5 receiving yards on Julian Edelman in the New England Patriots game. That is with Scuy. Brady's favourite receiver and the Browns will have to deal with Gronk and Bennett, meaning lots of space in the slot. Anything in the sixties I'd be backing overs very happily. I would not be surprised to see him in the 80s tonight.
