The Betting Thread

[Manc]

Your power knows no bounds.

[Don]

Giving 4/1 outsiders who perform like that (1.4-0.7 xG) but no, let's all thank the white man with his white man sport picks. #stopasianhate

[Manc]

Wild punt on Hanna 80/1.

[Don]

Bayern almost at evens against Barca. -2 at 5. -3 at 10. Merry fucking Christmas :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

I was going to say, even if they're through it's surely going to be in their interest to send Barcelona out of the competition. I guess the risk is that actual managers don't think like that and any opportunity to rest players is greedily snatched.

[niko_cee]

Seeing as they can't face them in the last 16 it's probably in Bayern's interest to let Barca through to oppose another of the group winners, almost certainly one of the English sides seeing as they look likely to all win their groups.

[Don]

Thomas Müller (Bayern Munich): "The Ballon d’Or ceremony yesterday was definitely a disappointment, similar to what happened to Ribéry in 2013. This is also a huge motivation for me to do everything possible to bring the Champions League back to Munich and show the football world what we’re made of. We have an opportunity to do so next Wednesday in the Champions League against Barça."

You love to hear it.

[Baz]

12:55 Exeter SWEET NIGHTINGALE
15:25 Sedgefield LENNY
16:30 Dundalk TORO ROHO

According to Twitter these 3 have been smashed in from like 125/1 each to nearly evens with some bookies. Done an EW trixie myself with 16/1, 12/1 & 12/1 :yn:

[Manc]

8th, 8th and dead last. Well played.

[niko_cee]

Worked out alright for the people who backed at 125 and then laid Baz at whatever.

[Baz]

Indeed. Well played that yard.

FOMO though innit.

[Don]

Don't follow Serie A too closely but price on Atalanta looks mad. Napoli seem decimated, no Koulibaly, no Ruiz, no hope. Always fun to back Atalanta too, never let you down with their heart.

[Luca]

When Taz speaks it’s free money. :drool:

[Don]

One of the most glorious games of football you're going to watch that, makes you sick to know Gasperini is overlooked for jobs like Utd just because the Nazis are back in power.

[Max Power]

Napoli at 2.25 on Thursday seems mad despite their injuries. We are appalling at the moment and Rodgers European record is poor even when his teams look competent.

[Don]

I was leaning towards Leicester pending teamsheets.

Bayern train is operating a severely reduced carriage service thanks to a pummelling of the price, behind closed doors and potentially shit team news. Sad.

[Max Power]

Price came in but has gone out again. Should be getting obliterated with the news that Ryan Bertrand is playing and Maddison is playing out wide for some reason.

[Jimmy Floyd]

On Napoli. Think they'll want to hedge their bets in terms of possible Maradona memorial trophies, with the league possibly going west (north).

[Don]

Teamsheets are to my liking, piled in to Leicester. Lyon with some experimental backline and a strong midfield and attack should lead to goals too.

[Don]

Pile in at 5/1 :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Ryan Bertrand is playing

Max knew.

[Max Power]

Ray Winstone has already paid out. We (don’t) love to see it

[Don]

:sick:

Edit: at not topping up at 2-0 obvs.

[Waffdon]

I’d be all over Rangers to win by 4/5/6 today. They were already going to win but United have about 10 players out with Covid. Our line up is some laugh

[Baz]

I’d be all over Rangers to win by 4/5/6 today. They were already going to win but United have about 10 players out with Covid. Our line up is some laugh

1-0 :harold:

[Waffdon]

I’ll take that :cool:

Great shift from the kids

[Don]

Get on the Arsenal thrashing. I was on -1 at 0-0 and -3 at 1-0 and they have injured players and no bench with no ability to keep things tight.

[Manc]

John Whaite 8/1. Worth a pop.

[Don]

Ben White costing mans £700, the self-tanning prick.

[Don]

Piled in on Wolves.

[Waffdon]

Saul has just been brought on so you’re better off lumping on it now Taz

[Don]

Piled in on Leicester. And a bit on double with Brentford.

[Don]

Thought I'd lost a hefty sum all the way home until just now. God bless Ray's early payout policy.

[John Arne]

Thailand v Vietnam tonight. Thailand are longer than they should be due to recent fixtures between the pair, however, they are a much better team.

Thailand v Vietnam

[Offshore Toon]

I'll hop on any train heading to Christmas. £10 on both Thailand + Thailand -1.5.

[Don]

On and will watch it. What is this shit, full-strength sides?

[John Arne]

Full strength, AFF (Suzuki) Cup semi-final first leg. Nothing dodgy going on, though.

[Don]

Jesus, that second goal. Johnny boy :rasta:

[John Arne]

Easy.

[Offshore Toon]

Legend, JA.

[John Arne]

I won $120, but missed out on another $90 as I had the 0-3.

[John Arne]

Indonesia v Singapore

Nothing dodgy going on , but I fancy Indonesia for this one.

A couple of bucks on Elkan Baggott to score, too.

[Baz]

My tipsters put bloody tons out tomorrow:

(Not my stakes)

:nono:

[John Arne]

Indonesia v Singapore

Nothing dodgy going on , but I fancy Indonesia for this one.

A couple of bucks on Elkan Baggott to score, too.

1-1, 66th minute. Singapore 2 men sent off.

Edit: oh my, Singapore take the lead with a sublime free kick.

This is a cracking game.

EDITEDIT: Indonesia equalise with 10 minutes left.

EDITEDITEDIT: Penalty to Singapore!

SAVED!!

[Lofty]

Seen Leicester as long as 18/1 today, is it really that much of a foregone conclusion?

[Don]

They're ravaged by absentees. Predicted XI:

Schmeichel

Albrighton
Amartey
Vestegaard
Thomas

Soumare
KdH
Maddison

Lookman
Iheanacho
Perez

If that's the lineup I'll back the handicaps.

[Baz]

First horse a winner. Let’s have a day of only backing winners. :clap:

[Jimmy Floyd]

If that's the lineup I'll back the handicaps.

Hope you backed ALL the handicaps.

[Waffdon]

First horse a winner. Let’s have a day of only backing winners. :clap:

The next three all fell. Have any others won?

[Don]

Got on 4-0 and 5-0 at HT scorelines at 2-0. Shame but we'll take it.

[Baz]

The next three all fell. Have any others won?
Absolute bloodbath. :lol:

[Don]

Spunked a load on the Saudis because it's Man Utd. Let's be 'avin ya.

[Jimmy Floyd]

African Nations

Mali 25/1 look the standout value for me. Afcons tend to draw attention for the famous names like (this time) Salah or Mané, but they are usually won by balanced sides that have more options than just giving the ball to player X. Mali blitzed their World Cup qualification group without conceding a goal, and draw their players from leagues (mainly France) where the event is more built into expectations and there will be no fretting about club duties. They may lack obvious firepower, but often the Afcon is about shitting out 1-0 wins, and Ibrahima Kone (Norwegian league) may well be a dark horse in that department.

If you fancy taking them on with a bigger traditional power, Algeria 6/1 would be my choice - a nice draw, a range of interesting players and have proved a decent unit in recent times.

Top scorer: the aforementioned Kone is available at 40/1, or have a go at 14/1 for Vincent Aboubakar, whose host Cameroon side are at their least shit for a while and should be able to fire a few past Ethiopia plus whoever they get in round 2.

[Manc]

Lovely value all round. Is Bissouma walking straight into the first eleven?

[Don]

Man said balanced side and then ignores the Kings' (a king led by a king) team.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They're too obsessed with one man. Should go close, of course.

[Offshore Toon]

I've been monitoring the odds of Toon Top Finish since my little convo with JA a month or so ago. Bet365 at 20/1 is pretty shit, but Sky Bet have 80/1 so I've stuck £20 on. #ToonToon

[Don]

Is that Newcastle to finish top-half? I'll lay it for 100/1, you madman. You're drunk on those Azmoun rumours.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They're getting Trippier, they're making the Champions League.

[Offshore Toon]

It beats the evens that JA offered me at least.

[John Arne]

It beats the evens that JA offered me at least.

:henn0rz:

[Waffdon]

All aboard the Swindon

[Offshore Toon]

Go on then. £5 on at 40/1.

[Lofty]

£5 free bet on Swansea in play at 6/1, Saints lead 1-0 but Swans at home and now have an extra man.

[phonics]

Got Arsenal to win and over 2.5 cards. 6/1

Also had Fulham to win and Mitro to score. It lost so can't be arsed to look up the odds.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Vincent Aboubakar AGS and also to score 2 or more.

[Lofty]

£5 on Nketiah hat trick at 28s.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Two penalties for Aboubakar in the first half :cool:

Edit: £5 on Cameroon to win 4-1.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Over 3.5 cards, over 1.5 goals and Cape Verde win @ 6.

[phonics]

The worst Sports Gambler of all time

https://i.imgur.com/54bfhII.png

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Over 3.5 cards, over 1.5 goals and Cape Verde win @ 6.

Thought that was a lock at halftime with Ethipoia down to 10 men (plus two extra yellows shown) and Cape Verde with a goal.

[Jimmy Floyd]

You're betting on overs at the afcon. Might as well go into a care home and start putting wagers on one of the residents to win Miss Europe.

[Pen]

Can you do some sort of daily pre match info packs from the Afcon games? ( by which I mean a few sentences covering basic stuff you already know) I’m thinking of watching at least the last games each day and would be fun to know something about the teams beforehand. Betting tips are very welcomed too.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I don't know as much as I would once have done. Today there are four games: Senegal would be heavy favourites over Zimbabwe; Morocco v Ghana I would expect to be quite cagey, Morocco have more goal threat even without Ziyech, but Ghana are quite solid. Would like to see Ilias Chair play for Morocco, but don't know if he will. Guinea v Malawi; the latter are jobbers. Guinea I don't know a lot about but obviously Naby Keita and possibly the teenaged Moriba worth looking out for. Gabon v Comoros... the former still a bit of a one man team and everything goes through Aubameyang. Comoros are a bit of a mystery but they do have a bloke who scores a lot of goals in Serbian football.

Looking at the prices, the only one that tempts me is Comoros might be a fraction long.

[-james-]

Comoros have already been battered in as well. I think Gabon opened about 1/2.

This is pretty much what I was after 👍

Before reading any of this I went for Senegal to win to nil and by at least two, btts draw in the Ghana game and then Guinea and Comoros. Was like 60/1.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You're betting on overs at the afcon. Might as well go into a care home and start putting wagers on one of the residents to win Miss Europe.
I almost went overs and BTTS in the Cameroon game but talked myself out of it :(

[Jimmy Floyd]

They are low on name recognition but have a pretty strong system relative to their size I think, and obviously very strong links with France. I wouldn't have them as favourites over Gabon but they're not mugs.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'm using Parimatch because their odds for the outrights were better than Betfair's and they also offered a signup bonus but my word is the site shit.

They're not offering any odds for any AFCON match today other than Mauritania/Gambia.

[Pen]

El Fardou ags and 1-1 @15 might be my pick for the late game.

That’s played on Wednesday.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That’s played on Wednesday.

That's how bad the website is.

Anyway, I've managed to find the Senegal/Zim match. I've put £10 on Mane to score 2 or more.

[niko_cee]

They'll probably need at least 3 penalties for that to come in.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They way he's been shooting so far 3 pens wouldn't be enough.

[Pepe]

Don't 'star' players always severely underperform in this type of tournament?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Put £15 on over 0.5 around the 70th minute.

Thanks Morocco.

[phonics]

Had a fiver on Senegal to score 2 goals. lol.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Comoros 1-0 and under 1.5 in the next game for me.

[Manc]

Put £15 on over 0.5 around the 70th minute.

Thanks Morocco.

Please refrain from such posts.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Please refrain from such posts.

I don't think I will.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I didn't have the bottle to go under in the Algeria/Sierra Leone match.

[Don]

Gone in on Egypt -1 alongside my outright bet. Bold to back handicaps in this sea of shitness and mediocrity and Nigeria lining up better than I imagined but if you can't ride a train during work hours, when can you?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Under 1.5 @ 2.375 and a bit on Nigeria to win.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cashed out of both.

I don't see another goal in this but I'd hate it if Egypt scored a scrappy one at the death.

Under 0.5 and under 1.5 in Guinea-Bissau/Sudan.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I was just about to cash out of the 0.5 bet :moop:

'Mon VAR.

Thank fuck the penalty and rebound was shit. I'm out.

[Manc]

Is THE COMPUTER making an appearance in 2022?

Sony Open:

Kisner 35/1
Horschel 45/1
Keith Mitchell 66/1

[Jimmy Floyd]

It will do but more sparingly, at the moment I can't be fucked with doing research on two tournaments a week.

Sony Open I won last year with Kevin Na and I fancy a repeat this year @ 25/1.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Under 1.5 on Tunisia/Mali. I don't have the balls to go 0.5 too.

Anything :sherlock: in the Mauritania/Gambia match btw? Parimatch has all markets for the match currently suspended.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Markets have been unsuspended and I'm going in for under 1.5.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've followed with the golf tips.

Also, under 1.5 in the Ivory Coast game.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Under 1.5 in both of tomorrow's games including a little bit on the double.

[Baz]

Had a 4-fold on “result & btts”

Cameroon & no
Senegal & no
Morocco & no
Nigeria & no

Hopefully I’m not underestimating Ethiopia, Guinea, Comoros and Sudan. :rosebud:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

RIP the unders :(

I'm blaming you Baz, my run was brilliant.

[Baz]

4 mins :D

If you don't have my address to which to send the letters of thanks, mine's the house constructed entirely from money.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Under 1.5 in each of the AFCON matches tomorrow along with the four-fold.

Mon the 1-0/0-0's.

[Manc]

A casual 61 from Na. No biggie.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Apparently he's one of the featured players in the upcoming golf Netflix docu. Thirsty motherfucker.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Unders <3

Edit: Done in the final minutes in two games today :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Under 1.5 in both AFCON games today.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Under 1.5 again in all matches.

To stop the spam, just assume if there is an AFCON game I'm on the unders.

Edit: In play, Mali to win 1-0.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

£5 on Equatorial Guinea to win.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

\0/.

Cashed out for £37.50.

[Baz]

Coley 1 - 0 The Computer

[Jimmy Floyd]

Na, leading, then got embroiled in a twitter feud with Grayson Murray ahead of day two, which probably did for his chances.

Coley is an outstanding writer/tipper but it's basically impossible to get on his selections at the prices quoted as they get hammered in as soon as he publishes.

[Manc]

Kisner & Killer Keith doing the business. All aboard The American Express.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I realised yesterday that I completely forgot to put money on Aboubakar as top scorer :moop:

[Baz]

^Same.


Hayden Buckley to win the golf.

#inb4coley

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Forgot to look if a 0-0 would be favourable for any of the pairings in group B (there was and it finished that way) so didn't get on Senegal/Malawi.

£10 on Morocco and Gabon under 0.5 goals though. Morocco have already advanced and need a point to secure top spot and Gabon need a point to ensure Ghana don't leapfrog them into second.

I'll also place £20 on the draw just in case they play out a score draw.

[Manc]

I'll have a tickle on Comoros.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Good start.

[Manc]

You love to see it.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fair play.

Under 1.5 hasn't been treating me too nicely in this last round of games, hopefully tomorrow will be a lot better.

[Manc]

American Express:

Hoge 140/1
Hickok 125/1

[Jimmy Floyd]

I hate the Amex, but have small plays on Alex Smalley and KH Lee.

I thought I'd posted his podcast before but I can't find it on search. If you like the above there's another three parts of it on youtube and about 24 hours worth of it here (https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/inside-betting-matthew-trenhaile-eZyvALrcl1T/). Proper treasure trove.

[Don]

Decent vid. I missed your previous mentions of him, what's he known for?

[-james-]

Understander of betting markets, disseminator of industry know-how, and just pretty listenable-to guy.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Kone AGS and to score 2 or more.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just put £2.50 on over 4.5 goals in the Mali/Mauritania game.

[Manc]

Patrick fucking Cantlay.

[Reg]

Is Comoros beating Cameroon a no-hoper? They're @11.

[Jimmy Floyd]

It would be astonishing if Cameroon lost that.

[Baz]

Bailey Akehurst 22/1 AGS tomorrow. Let’s hope he’s in the squad.

[Manc]

Cannavaro to Everton 10/1.

[Reg]

It would be astonishing if Cameroon lost that.
Thanks. In that case... All aboard!

On a serious note (extremely serious, that is), I've gone with Dennis 1st goalscorer @4. (Watford-Norwich.)

[Baz]

Afan Lido to beat Goytre Utd @ 9/2

Trust me boys

Finished 2-2 with a 92nd minute equaliser :cry:

Hoge. :rasta:

Nice one. Watch out for this week's event being Wed - Sat.

[Manc]

Appreciate the heads up.

[Baz]

Aboubakar to score, Cameroon HT/FT and Cameroon to win by 3 or more.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Hoge. :rasta:
Cheers for that. So close to getting the win too.

[Manc]

Farmers Insurance Open:

Zalatoris 28/1

Skybet are offering an extra place.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'm on Scheffler 25/1 for that. He has to win some time.

Dubai - Garcia 20/1, Forrest 175/1

[John Arne]

Australia v Vietnam. Kicks off in 10 minutes.

$3 on Australia 6-0 at 30/1
$3 on Trent Sainsbury hattrick at 500/1
$8 over 3.5 goals at 7/5

[John Arne]

I always forget just how shit Australia are. 40 minutes in, still only 1-0.
Queenslander - Is this the worst Aussie team for a while?

[Queenslander]

Yeah easily.

Having a binman as a coach isnt helping either.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Decided to put some money on the Royal Rumble winners the other day.

£5 on Brock Lesnar to win the Men's @ 6
£5 on Ronda Rousey to win the Women's @ 10.

Rousey has now been hammered to 1.83 as there have been strong reports that WWE are pushing hard for her to come back for the Rumble, win it and then face Bekcy Lynch at Wrestlemania.

[Manc]

Zalatoris holding off Rahm only to lose in the playoff. :moop:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Playoff losers are character-building.

Seething that I didn't tip Meronk for this Dubai job, I bloody nearly did.

I had no idea you could bet on wrestling. Who takes bets on something with a predetermined outcome? Must be rife for insider trading.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I had no idea you could bet on wrestling. Who takes bets on something with a predetermined outcome? Must be rife for insider trading.

I don't understand it either.

Rousey was only on my radar because a well respected Wrestling journalist revealed that the company were pushing to bring her back, win the Rumble and go on to face Becky Lynch at Mania. I'd imagine if I was a bit quicker I could have gotten an even better price on her.

[Ben]

It looks like golf chat just goes in here so I'll say it here: Rory you fucking numpty. 3 wood over the water from 270 when he could have laid up and got it up and down to win.

[Jimmy Floyd]

If Bland wins this I will laugh so hard. Probably gets him in the Masters if he does.

[Ben]

It would be a great story. Be some good odds on him in the playoff if Rory scrapes in here.

[Ben]

Fleetwood just showed Rory how it should have been done. Not laying up was criminal in that scenario. For such a long hitter, he's shit at par 5s.

[Manc]

I know of someone who put a lot of money down on the Rahm/McIlroy double. Must be sick to his stomach.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Pebble: Berger 11/1, Mitchell 80/1
Ras: Brun 50/1, Paul 80/1

Not touching Saudi.

£5 on Brock Lesnar to win the Men's @ 6
£5 on Ronda Rousey to win the Women's @ 10.

[Manc]

Ras al Khaimah: Rasmus Hojgaard 30/1

[Manc]

I've picked the wrong twin. :moop:

[Jimmy Floyd]

I followed Nicolai for a few holes at last Wentworth, the kid is special. He might be too skinny to reach the absolute top but the class levels are so high.

[Manc]

I'll take England at even money here.

£2 accumulator needs Watford Burnley draw and a Cameroon win for £560.

Phoenix Open:

Matsuyama 18/1
Henley 40/1

What you saying for Ras Al? Jimmy Floyd

[Jimmy Floyd]

Phoenix (caveat: I hate Scottsdale): Cantlay 12/1, Matsuyama 16/1 (skybet 8 places, I can't be arsed to find wherever you got 18s), Wise 80/1

Ras: Shinkwin 40/1, Pavon 40/1, Guerrier 60/1

Frogmania running wild.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

On them as always, cheers gents.

[Manc]

Betfred. Seems he's be backed in.

I'm half tempted to double down on Rasmus.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Cantlay bottled that putt on the 18th.

Feels like Scheffler will take it from here.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hell of a finish, this. Scheffler should have strolled away with it if he wasn't useless on the front nine.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Thank you Scottie, I guess that's why you haven't won yet.

Playoff between my pick and Ben Coley's pick.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Definition of a bottle job there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck.

[Jimmy Floyd]

About the 4th playoff in a row I've been on the wrong side of Cantlay. Oh well, place and a half.

[Manc]

Unlucky, Floyd.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Deki was actually as good a shout tbh, silly man forgot how to putt today.

That's got me right back into it anyway ahead of what may be the best run of tournaments of the year leading into the Masters. Next week's course is my absolute fave. There is a Rahm bulldozer job on its way, just not sure where.

[Manc]

I'm on Scheffler 25/1 for that. He has to win some time.

Nothing to see here.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Early days but for LA I'm pretty sure it's going to be Cam Smith from me.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Does he still have the mullet?

If so, :drool:

[Manc]

Genesis:

Xander 25/1
Bezuidenhout 90/1

Slow and steady is the order of the day (I hope). Do you like any at three figures?

Not really in this field. Patrick Rodgers was the closest.

For me: Hughes 45/1, Sigg 100/1, Streb 175/1, Uihlein 250/1

Want someone shorter but the computer only likes Niemann at 16/1 and I can't see him going back to back on opposite coasts.

[Manc]

Famous last words.

[Offshore Toon]

Went on Skybet earlier to see what Newcastle's current top half odds were (down to 14/1 from the 80/1 I got just fyi) and saw I had two free £10 bets. I chose the top six selections on their 'popular bets' tab and I've just cashed out at £142 (£7 away from max winnings) so I can go to bed. Nae bad

[Manc]

Arnold Palmer: Max Homa 40/1

[Ben]

Just had an absolute nightmare. Tried to put a bet on Lincoln to cover my accumulator and the fucking betslip wouldn't pop up on 365 so didn't get it placed before they just scored. Also accidentally cashed out my 2-1 Newcastle just before Brighton scored in the process.

This is why I don't bet.

[Baz]

Shane Lowry 50/1

[Jimmy Floyd]

For what, the players?

I will be on Mugilroy most likely.

[Baz]

Yeah. Hoping he excels in the wind and rain.

What are the computers thoughts? :eyemouth:

[Ben]

Scheffler is worth a decent wager now he's finally broken his duck although winning 3 in 4 weeks is Tiger territory. He's an excellent player and was held down purely by not winning. I'll wait until the field is finalised before looking into it but I might get on Im and Hoge as well.

Rory ain't closing out shit until he stops flapping about as soon as he plays one bad hole. A proper caddie would be a good start.

[Baz]

[Jimmy Floyd]

Bit of a weird one, as if he was English surely he'd be at least fairly close to making the squad and therefore more like a 3/1 shot or so.

Ukraine @3.2 for Eurovision is lay of the century.

[Don]

Why? Don't politics usually dictate the competition?

[-james-]

I don't think it does anywhere near to the extent that most people think. More than anything, songs that win or do well just tick the requisite boxes for a good Eurovision entry.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foqgjD_SNss

More than anything that's just not going to tug on any heart strings. It'll be interesting to see how they try and milk it.

Their original entry (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz6aQLKyBHc) would have stood a chance but she got cancelled after the powers that be noticed a Crimea entry stamp on her passport.

[-james-]

It does look a pretty weak year so far tbf. I don't fancy second favourite Italy at all either. I think the market's just waiting for something decent to appear.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

UK's year?

[Ben]

Has anyone ever gone from no points one year to winner the next?

[-james-]

UK has traded as low as 15 so someone clearly fancies it, but the song is not out yet. This happened last year as well and that was a turd.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Have cooled on Mugilroy.

The PLAYERS (caps vital)

Cantlay 18/1
Berger 25/1
Hoge 110/1

Gone quite large on Cantlay, should be 14s max.

[Ben]

Likewise I've cooled on Scheffler. Fatigue has got to be a thing there.

Im
Kim
Hoge
Hughes

[Manc]

Hideki 30/1
Koepka 40/1

[Manc]

Hideki :(

[Jimmy Floyd]

I live for that kind of late withdrawal (usually it happens to my players) because it brings out turbo-seethe from the still extremely immature US online betting community.

Oosty is a great one for it, turns up at the course and thinks actually nah you're alright.

[Ben]

With every passing moment I'm becoming more and more convinced Cantlay will win, so sorry Jim.

[Ben]

Got a little wager on Sam Burns as well before he teed off @ 40.

[Manc]

Play suspended?

[Ben]

Until Sunday morning looking at the forecast.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Almost as good as the legendary 2020 THE PLAYERS.

[Baz]

Hoping he excels in the wind and rain.Get playing, softies. :panda:

[Baz]

If your bookie offers non runner no bet (NRNB) then for the Turners Novice Chase (first race on Thursday) these two have multiple entries and may switch to this race to try for a place:
Presentandcounting 125/1
Busselton 100/1

Worth a quid each way or whatever. Money back if they race in the Paddy Power Plate anyway, where they’re 33/1 & 12/1 so obviously not rubbish.

[Manc]

I'll discredit that Bussleton selection. Absolutely bombed at the festival last year.

[John Arne]

In play now. 10 mins left. Currently 0-0.
Back Quang nam at home to hue

[Don]

Let's ride baby.

[Baz]

Love it.

[Don]

One of these days we should go heavy on one of John's bangers.

[Baz]

:eyemouth:

[John Arne]

It's not what you know, it's who you know.

[Offshore Toon]

How often do you get tips?

[John Arne]

Not regularly to be honest, maybe 5 or 6 times a season. More so if there is a regional youth tournament.

[Ben]

Chelsea @ 1.33 is absolutely horrendous, especially if Joe and ASM are back. Newcastle @ 10 worth a tenner of anyone’s money.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I'd say the opposite, we're at home, we're somewhat cornered, and they've done their job now.

[Ben]

You’re rattled so that could go either way. Like I still expect Chelsea to win but even the draw at 5.5 is worth a punt and hardly unlikely.

It’ll be like 4-0 Chelsea now I’ve drawn my line in the sand.

[Ben]

The wind is blowing now and it's absolute scenes, especially on 17. Put a little EW on Harman @ 50 who seems to excel in dodgy conditions.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Had it on for 20 minutes and already watched 4 of the world's top 10 have an absolute nightmare down 18. Americans + wind :drool:

[Ben]

With things a bit all over the place odds wise, I've got on scrambling specialists Ancer and Garnett as well. I'm invested in about nine now.

[Manc]

Noren 35/1.

[Ben]

Van Rooyen looking like something out of Peaky Blinders.

Bets are up and down. Hoge looking good, as are Burns and Ancer. Garnett dropping like a stone and Cantlay can't find a green to save his life.

[Waffdon]

I’ve barley watched any NH racing since the flat season ended so Cheltenham should be fun. Mon the long shots.

PP doing a £5 free bet on any race for the first 3 days

[Don]

Palace look a tasty bet, especially if the refugee replaces Cancelo.

[Baz]

I’ve too many antepost to list but here are my dailies:

Supreme Novices Hurdle 13:30 Mighty Potter Win 6/1
Arkle 14:10 Brave Seasca EW 33/1
Ultima Handicap Chase 14:50 Vintage Clouds EW 25/1
Champion Hurdle 15:30 Appreciate It EW 4/1
Mares Hurdle 16:10 Telmesomethinggirl Win 11/4
Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle 16:50 Champion Green EW 10/1
National Hunt Chase 17:30 Run Wild Red Win 15/8

Sky prices are shocking compared to 365

[Waffdon]

Bring on the Night
Couer Sublime
Lostintranslation
Zanahijr
Mrs Milner
Bell Ex One

I’ll have them all in multiples EW alongside a few others. Betting w/o fav was good to me last year

[Lofty]

£10 win on Bring on the Night money back if it loses with Skybet, then a £6 E/W Lucky 15 on all Cooper's rides tomorrow. Probably do nothing but he has pulled some great wins in for me at big meetings over the years.

[Ben]

Jack Kennedy top jockey @ 7.

[Baz]

No chance.

I’ve got loads of afternoon meetings this week, plus don’t have the house to myself, but hoping I can still watch every race live. I love it all though; the dry comments from Ruby, the fashion segments, interviewing random people, Francesca in the parade ring thing, inject it into my veins. :drool: Honestly don’t even care about winning money. Can’t wait to see Honeysuckle and Shishkin again. Shishkin’s last race with Energumene was so fucking good.

1484914742175186949

How can that not get you horny, fuck me.

[Ben]

No chance.

He'll get two minimum just tomorrow. Put a tenner on and thank me later. He's 8/1 actually, not 7.

[Ben]

Keegan Bradley absolutely steaming through the field to be tied for the lead now. He'd have it almost sewn up by now if not for that two stroke penalty.

Bussleton in the turners. 50/1. 4 runners. :eyemouth:
