Man City team news more than anything. You have your best front three finally playing though so 2/1 is very decent odds for the win

Man City XI: Steffen, Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko, Rodri, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Sterling, Foden
Looks fairly rancid.
Fuck it, Mon the Waff.
Waff is cancelled.
Bonjour and a happy new year. Tournament of Champions. These are dull picks but there is absolutely nothing in the market, tightest one I've ever seen.
D.Johnson 6/1
Reed 16/1
Muńoz 55/1
Horschel 66/1
All E/W.
The Jimmy train is here lads.
Buckle up.
I'll follow on Reed. Money down for JT also.

This should be an interesting affair. Markets have Chorley a slight fave. No opinion myself, just interested to see how it pans out.
It's hard because I have seen these reserve teams play lower league teams in the cup and batter them. I might have a single but would swerve it for my acca.
Speaking of which, I often feel this saturday is the most potentially profitable in the football calendar due to the round of the FA Cup, a lot of big teams playing lower league opposition. There are some question marks over the likes of West Brom and Sheffield United, but simply backing all the PL teams against the weaker ones and the likes of Milwall against Boreham Wood pushes the odds right up.
Could be a potential train in there if we could narrow down the cupset potential.
Dundee United are 7/2 to beat St Johnstone at home and I can’t quite get my head around it. United aren’t on great form but they’ve faced the top four recently and are a lot more reliable than the latter. If not going outright, lump on double chance as it should be about 1/3
Pitch inspection at 12 apparently so hold off for now
It's fucking freezing here (-1) so could be a frozen one.
-7 last night in Perth so probably similar there. There is under soil heating but no idea how good that is.
Feelings towards JT @Jimmy Floyd?
Speaking of JT:
This wasn't great.
That's what I was getting at. Do keep up.
Hasn't improved my opinion of him. It's not worth cancelling him (or anyone) over, but at the same time if you use it in that situation you probably use it a lot, and it's not a word I like at all. Has a nasty edge to it that the other ones don't, the yanks seem to love it.
Most American golfers are genuinely terrible people and JT always comes across OK to me, but, yeah, well, whatever. Let's put it this way, you hear Tyrrell Hatton mouthing off on every hole of every round but you never hear him say that. And to be fair, you never hear Bryson or Reed say it either. It's not a great look.

The computer obviously has a method given three of the selections currently sit at 16 under and the other 15 under.
If Munoz hadn't played like a wanker on Thursday he would be right in it. Would like to see Joaco win this, lovely player.
If you can find a market for Hibs/Celtic might be worth lumping on the former. They were 13/2 before bookies realised majority of Celtic’s team is self isolating. The latter are pretty shite anyway
Edit: new odds probably aren’t worth it. They’ll be playing their third choice keeper if the list of players out is correct but still have first choice midfield and attack

Sky Bet have Hibs 3/1?
It's total guesswork at this stage without knowing who is out. Not many Hibs players who would get into a second string Celtic side anyway.
Sony Open
Simpson 12/1
Bradley 60/1
Na 66/1
Piercy 90/1
Perez 200/1
The best value of the five by a mile is Na.
Hard to imagine Edouard and Ntcham aren't two of the thirteen who got told to isolate tbh.
Livingston price looks nice given they seem to have been not up to much tonight.
Anyone seen this new betting craze doing long accas betting over 1.5 goals on farmer's leagues? Some guy landed one for £11k off a tenner earlier in the week and now everyone is trying it, to the point bookies are now suspending markets on the dodgiest fixtures
2.37 for Fulham not to lose with that Chelsea line up is very good odds. They played a better team against Morecambe
He is doing very nicely. I'm slightly afraid of Niemann for the win, but good chance of place.
Simpson rolling up to joint second with Na is good news for the computer but bad news for dead heat odds settling.
Kevin Na winning with Simpson placing would be the perfect result here.
I'm still following my tipster's staking plan and up 37.675 points, aka £ 188.38 for January.
I'm a twit
Think Steeley might go away with it now. Two places would be a good result though.
4 way tie at the top right now
Kevin Na \0/.
The Computer coming up big early in the year.
Touch under £150 profit for me.

Top stuff Jimmy.
He had a few moments in that round but ultimately was just hitting it too well. 66/1 was straight up banditry, no idea what they were playing at.
I made a mental note to myself to open up a betting account and get on the Jimmy train this year, but the Old-Order Mennonites that run my bank don't do business with gambling companies, so I'll have to get creative to load my account without signing up for some questionable third party transfer service. Twats.
EDIT: Turns out the majority of Canada's banks and fintechs are run by Old Order Mennonites.

Yeah, excellent stuff Jim. Thanks!
Hey, I think you should get a Monzo account. Get one through this link:

Does anyone ever use your affiliate links, Baz?
Nah, Bet365 doesn't accept that here in Canada either. The intermediary services on offer ("iDebit" is one of them, "Instadebit" isbanother) have a history of being a bit wonky, so I'd rather avoid.
I've been meaning to try out Neo Financial (a new neobank here) so I'll give it a whirl for this. Probably won't work, so I'll have to resign myself to using one of the above-mentioned services.
Oh, that's annoying.
Feels like I've had no luck on when to follow Jimmy's train - one time I did it I forgot to do e/w so the place didn't even stick any money back. Great work again though.

This is a slightly odd one. Much like Hawaii last week it's normally a pretty run of the mill event which would not attract the HUGE names, but this year Jon Rahm is playing and the market is a mess as a result. If he doesn't win, whoever does will do so at a tasty price. The computer likes Rahm so much that even his short price favourite status is seen as amazing value, so we're on him, and then I've gone with a few bigger priced citizens too.
Rahm 6/1
Champ 40/1
Clark 80/1
List 200/1
Bramlett 300/1

The first Euro event of the season has a great if very top heavy field, almost the equal of the US event according to owgr. Rory McIlroy is playing here, as is Justin Thomas, who looks to atone for last week's 'faggot' controversy by taking a hefty appearance fee to play in a locality where homosexuality carries the death penalty. The computer barely makes the field favourite vs McIlroy and Thomas, so I have to be on one of them, but they're quite hard to separate. I've gone with McIlroy as he knows the territory a bit better, though perhaps Thomas will benefit from the newfound freedom to choose his own clothes.
McIlroy 6/1
Hatton 12/1
Coetzee 125/1
Rock 150/1
All E/W
