Very much like Joshua-Usyk result by split decision either way @9.5.
Man City are well above evens at PSG. They should never be that price in any football match let alone one against that dodgy shite.
They ain't rotated. Choo choo indeed. Same with us tbf although we're facing the best target man in world football so...
On siddy @ 2.4
Men against boys. Piled in on a City 3/1.
Yep, need to get an early one and open the floodgates, fucking Bernardo Silva.
I bailed at half time. Back to small balls and varicose veins for me.
Absolutely filth but it was never a Bayern mismatch. The teturn legs in both shall make us millionaires.
Sanderson Farms Championship
The Ryder Cup is over and the comedown is this slightly random 2nd event of the new season in Jackson, Mississippi. The field suffers from the Whistling Straits hangover but defending champion Sergio Garcia, who won for me last year at 40/1, does play. However, I think this is very much as an obligation to defend, so instead of him I will be backing youngster Sam Burns, who is one of the few outside the victorious American twelve who will fancy forcing his way past some of them and into the next squad for Rome. Burns is a long, straight driver and in the last few events here that has been the profile of player to win. However, before that some proper randos ruled the roost, with wins for the likes of Peter Malnati, Cody Gribble and Ryan Armour. It's a great place to set up your career versus a not great early-season field and so at longer prices I have sided with several of the newly-promoted PGA Tour players.
Burns 14/1
Pendrith 66/1
T.Moore 100/1
Hagy 175/1
Lahiri 200/1
McGreevy 400/1
Dunhill Links
This is a great if slightly chaotic annual autumn visit to the Scottish links, taking place across the contrasting trio of Kingsbarns (new), St Andrews (old) and Carnoustie (hard). It is also a pro-am, which makes for very long rounds as the celebs do their stuff alongside the pros. Usually Irish horse shark JP McManus is to be found near the top of the leaderboard as he lies about his handicap once again. This year the pro field is quite strong and there are some cracking 'erm, what?' amateur pairings too. Who could not be dazzled by pairings such as Max Kieffer/Wladimir Klitschko, Luke Donald/Jamie Redknapp or Eddie Pepperell/Ronan Keating. For the betting I've avoided the Ryder Cup contingent, who will be mentally and physically drained, and gone for a fresher team while avoiding drifting too far down the market - the winners here tend to have pedigree.
Migliozzi 45/1
Canter 60/1
Jordan 60/1
Burmester 66/1
MW Lee 70/1
In Mito we trust.
Had a £50 treble on Juve, Benfica, Utd draw for £2.5k
Burmester has gone from a slim chance of winning to trying to hold onto a place...
Think he will place with a four at the last, 17 is playing wildly over par so a few will trip up there on the way in.
Mr Burns is my 9th winner of the year, not a terribly outlandish one at 14/1 but they all count.
Winning is always a convenient time to post the annual P/L again:
661pts staked, 923.23pts returned (+39.67%)
341 selections, 9 winners, 42 places, 290 losers
I'm -7% in 2H (since 1 July), so the bonkers first half carrying it a little bit but a bounceback recently.

Not the kind of betting we’re talking about but I’ve been playing poker a lot recently and I think if I just quit every time I doubled my money and quit when I lost my buy in. I’d be up about 100 quid now. So frustrating.
Also because this is the first time I’m in this thread. I’m going to presume Jimmy is making up all these golf names.
Shriners Hospitals for Children Open
This event in Las Vegas always gets a strong field for the time of year, mainly I think because pro golfers love going to Vegas and drinking/shagging their way through the various casinos. On the course it can be quite hard to predict, but it's a pretty fun easy course that is ripe for low scores and dramatic finishes. Several Ryder Cuppers make their returns to the grind here, and after recent wins for Homa and Burns, my biggest play is on Scottie Scheffler to break his duck.
Scheffler 22/1
Casey 33/1
Streelman 70/1
Piercy 125/1
Jaeger 125/1
Putnam 200/1
Open de España
This is one of the weirdest fields I have seen for a long time in golf. It's a bog standard European field... and Jon Rahm. I presume Rahm is playing in this fairly low-money event not only for the glory of winning his home Open, but also to try and get a win to catch Morikawa and Horschel at the top of the Race to Dubai standings. Either way, he is going off 9/4, which is the shortest odds I have seen a golfer go off at for at least 15 years, since the infancy of my golf betting days, when prime Tiger was still stalking the fairways. Amazingly, I think there is still some value in that, because Rahm is so much better than everyone else here that if he plays well (by his own standards) it's basically all over. No one else appeals, so this is it, kids: my split with Rahm is over and the full 5pts is going on one man.
Rahm 9/4
I'll also play the Rahm/Scheffler double at 73/1 for shits and giggles.
Does any bookie have 5-0 to Australia for the Ashes?
I'm a twit
No, but Australia 1/3 outright on Sky bet is... value.
5 holes into the tournament, 67 to go, Rahm has gone odds-on. Haven't seen scenes like this since the Sheffield Rally.
Iran and Japan double at I think around 3.8.
Apparently Oisin Murphy glassed someone last night?

Is there a poker thread. If not I have had the worst beats of my life. I have been beaten by 4 of a kind 5 times. I finished 16th in a 10k poker tournament that paid out the top 12 finishes and had my first placing in a tournament that didnt cover all the other losses.
South Korea tomorrow at 3.6 away to us. No crowd permitted and results will show us being on a 10 game winning streak under our new manager whilst SK have struggled against weaker opposition. However, having watched all the games, I can confirm our manager is clueless, our defence is shite and we can't string 3 passes together whilst SK have been unlucky with their finishing and are a much much superior side.
The only 2 risk factors are our pitch isn't ideal for SK's quick passing game and we have 2 elite strikers who can work individual magic to make shit happen but I'm fairly confident it's a tasty bet.
I've consulted my friends in the Zoroastrian community, who have in turn been in touch with Ahura Mazda himself, and apparently he says 0-0 nailed on.
Is The Computer dead?
I like Garcia & Noren for the CJ Cup.
I'm having this and next week off as I haven't had / won't have time to do the research, rest assured I will be back after that.
From a quick glance, agree with Garcia, would also look at KH Lee at a long price.
Dhoni 20/1 MOTM today in IPL final. Go and collect now tbf
In all seriousness, if he does anything of note in the final and CSK win they’ll probably give it him. Potentially his last IPL and the most loved man in Indian cricket, wouldn’t surprise me if they gave it him for a 20 off 18 balls ffs

My 365 account got limited again
Gonna have to stop doing antepost bets on these disposable accounts cos gonna have to make a note of all the bets still standing and log back in to claim any winnings. Annoying.

Are you getting accounts off acquaintances, or have you moved on to shady Bangladeshis on Telegram?
Found a reliable seller the lads in my tipping chat use.
https://t.me/IOUBettingAccounts
2 365s for £25, but other accounts are available much cheaper and they do sales most Fridays on everything except 365. They’re all purposely made accounts using fake IDs where you can change all the details except the name and address as soon as you get them.
I'm a twit
What sort of stuff are you staking and how long do they last?
Can't see past Xander for the Zozo.
Porto should be a shoe-im today. Taremi up against a significantly weakened Milan side Gonna double up with Liverpool. May back Leipzig too.

Atalanta at 4/1 is absolute filth.
I'll join on that (or some silly goals line) alongside Juve.
All aboard
I'm a twit
On Atlanta single as well as -1 and -2. Mon.
My boy better not come off the bench and bag for Zenit.
Used Will Hill because they had minus handicaps for Atalanta so didn't get the Bet365 payout at 2-0. Fuck sake. /o\
