Tips for Tikay

[Chompy]

Nah, that's not great.

Have added Austria in various markets to the portfolio.

Any love for Lithuania? low as 20's and 25's in a few places for Semi but 66 still avaliable with BV. Disclaimer here is I have no clue other than a few youtube reviews.

I like it to qualify at around evens. One of my three against the field on first listen, alongside Bulgaria and Austria, but it's a simple song that will get lost on the night. Better than a flip to make the final but can't have it top three in the stronger semi, nor top ten in the final.

Chompy, Bulgaria seem to be on the drift after this first rehearsal.

10/1 outright and 11/2 semi final.

Equinox appear to have lost a leg. Plenty of double figures around this morning. Don't seen an issue myself.

Blimey ...as well as this video , they're in a press conference , a video at staging rehearsals, and a video blog of reviewers....critiquing the performance so far.

Never had all this with Sandie Shaw.

ESC is HUGE in Europe. We're the odd ones out. Europe knows best!

For anyone with Betbright, the 66-1 Cyprus is somewhat stale.

Can't have it though, just a shamelss ripoff of Diamonds by Rihanna.

Sky 3-1 about Burnley relegation next season.

Makes the 6/1 look about right then.  They offer a one way price and are never going to take any risk going close to the real price.

Do they still do that weird double voting thing that came in a couple of years ago and caused chaos in the betting with the massive about turn between panels and viewers? Enjoyed that immensely.

[Chompy]

Yuh, half jury, half public vote. Like in Melodifestivalen, as I'm sure we all knew. It's great, adds to excitement.

The Fodds brigade were slow to adjust last year, offering overly big prices about the winner doing it by more than 40pts, 50pts etc.

I'm not sure why Barry Hawkins is the complete rag out of the last eight - ~16 on betty seems decent.

Hoping for another "Oh my god he got up" after the final now

[arbboy]

Ding always too short, Hawk always too big.  Classic hype v substance match.  Was the same in 2006 in the qualifiers where Hawkins won as a 7/4 underdog as well.

Smoggies to finish in the top six has been paid out, so sent the £360.

Pompey £80 to be top south eastern club has been marked down as a loser but it's a winner. Not sure if Hills will have settled yet though.

Happily confirmed, £360 received, thank you.

Plump Percy, aka Consonant Bloke aka Hhy aka City Chirper wrote to me last week, too, & confirmed he owes me £340, so we agreed he would send me £250 & keep the rest on account for future use.

I owed 4kSuited £80 for 2 bets (Bulgaria & Sunrisers in the Silly Cricket) so I've sent that this morning.


If I owe anyone else anything for April, let me know please & I'll settle you up.


PS - Send more money, I rather enjoy being on the receiving end.

Charlton not count in that market? i assumed so and marked Pompey as a loser

[Chompy]

Best way to check is probably the account balance.

[TightEnd]

I'm sorry, you are right

it is settled as a winner

some stale eurovision prices about for those who can
