Tips for Tikay

[McGlashan]

Couple of really cracking bets on the darts today:

Joe Cullen vs Micheal Smith

Cullen Win 13/10.

Joe Cullen has been super consistent all year and his doubling has improved no end, Smith on the other hand has been erratic at best, if these two both bring their A games Smith should win comfortably but I don't think the 3 weeks in Oz has done him any favours whereas Cullen looks very Fresh.

Ratajski vs Kist

Ratajski Win 11/10

Kist is a bit of an enigma in the sense that his stats are pretty awful, however he's got some stones and knows how to win games and LOVES a scrappy match, Ratajski has been solid all year and even though it's his first time in a 1/4 of a Euro tour he played great last two rounds. I think he should be a small favourite here.

Rob Cross vs Peter Wright

Rob Cross Win 13/10

Peter Wright hasn't been playing consistently well for ages, he messes around with his equipment relentlessly and plays way too many events, he stumbled over the line yesterday averaging 87 and really should have got beat, there's a chance he turns up as we know he loves stage darts but I think the chances of him turning up and putting in a stinker are too real to resist this price.

Did Peter Wrights suitcase turn up? Yesterday he was playing with Simon Whitlock's darts.

edit: he's using one of his old set of darts

I dont think it'll be an issue for him as he's always changing and chopping, seems to be able to chop and change very easily.

Most Bizzare though is seeing him without the colourful clothes!

Must be nice to have a few days break from dressing up like a clown. Let's go Ratakski.

Thoughts on the 3-1+ on Ratajski versus Peter wright later on?

Gonna keep on eye on the markets for Messi's next club (can't find anything yet apart from an outdated one via oddschecker).

This outburst from La Liga this morning stinks of them being genuinely concerned he's gonna move on for nothing in the summer, and City are right at the front of the queue to make it happen apparently.

Watch this space....

Fancy dropping Livermore - absolute joke team selection.

For those that can I don't mind this boosted accumulator at 11/1 which may rise to 12/1 - https://www.skybet.com/football/crowd-boosted-accumulator/event/21197919?dcmp=Bet_IH_crowd-boosted-acca - Ireland, Wales, Croatia.

Best odds elsewhere is 7.7/1.

Rather than for just the sake of doing it, I don't mind Ireland as a standalone bet at 21/10 tonight, and the other two are favourites. A team in ROI that haven't lost in qualifying up against a decent foe who too haven't lost and are winning the league in Serbia, but before I saw the odds and with the history of watching most of Ireland's qualifying games for the WC, I thought the fair price would have been Ireland at around 17/10.

Hoolahan features tonight and shows a more attack minded set up with O'Niell probably having the intention to win this over getting a draw as a priority, which is ballsy. Without the win, automatic qualification would be all but dead.

Serbia have failed to beat Wales or Ireland in the group in three attempts but have been clinical against the minnows which separates them as leaders of the group. Possibly with ROI at home I just see ROI as favourites.

Very tough to judge the International games as they occur so sparsely but I would suggest a tenner nibble on the Ireland outright win on anything over 9/5.

For those of us that remember Taffy in his pomp - he had a couple of greyhounds with Elaine Parker way back when she was at Nottingham in the early 1990's - you could say(and I'm absolutely sure that Taffy would) that without his patronage she wouldn't be the top trainer that she is today.

Change makes no sense if it doesn't include the rest of Europe. Nothing stopping (insert European club) swooping in to sign your player/s after 9th August, but means you have no way of replacing them. Transfer fees are already sky high and this is just gonna inflate them further as teams will be very reluctant to part with their better players if they are unable to dip into the market and source suitable replacements.

Plus it limits how often we can get our fat chequebook out, which is just cruel.

Fat chequebooks though.

It will be a lot more pleasant in the swimming-pool too.
