Bowie - Blackstar at 2/1 to win the Mercury Music Prize.

I can see the judging panel going for the tribute/remembrance factor.

7/2 on Stan James. Best priced 6/4 elsewhere so i've topped up

bruffell06 · « **Reply #3082 on:** August 18, 2016, 04:04:00 pm »

Yeah im already on him to break the WR at 5's. Anywhere else offering odds on sub 19 seconds? Im banned from Paddys and had a quick look and couldnt seem to find any others pricing it up

Can't help but feel I've found a sleeper bet on Paddy Power:

Usain Bolt to break the 200m World Record: 5/1

13/2 now.

LeVeon Bell to score a touchdown for Pittsburgh @ 1.95
LeVeon Bell over 78.5 yards @ 1.76

Starting QB and backup RB on inactive list. Expect him to have extra carries today.

Any betting going on the Presidential race?

I placed a lay bet on Trump during the height of the FBI email investigation furore last week, but still only got odds of 7/2. Now drifted out to 9/2 so looks alright value for a lay, but Brexit drifted as far out as to about 10/1 only a few hours before the results started coming in so I don't want to start lumping on it. Actually I made a bit of betting money on Brexit, so I'm just reinvesting that on this race.

I also noticed SkyBet are taking bets on the percentage of the national popular votes the candidates receive and also on the way individual states/groups of states will go, but don't feel I know enough about the individual states to take on anything there.

Not sure where my post went but the Aussies to get over 310 at 7/2 seemed good value. Then Finch got out to the first ball he faced!

A lot of overs to be played though.

Fiasco · « **Reply #3093 on:** December 4, 2016, 04:04:14 am »

That's why I don't bet anymore

Cried that one in. Australia post 324 after a record-breaking innings by Steve Smith.

Been given T6 Flirtini in the 14:47 at Romford. Currently 7/2

Lad we go the match with who has never shown an interest in betting EVER. He even preaches 'Waste of money" blah blah blah.

He's been given it by an unknown source he deals with,

As usual with tips. no comebacks and bet with caution.

I've backed the single and also stuck it in a RF with T2

I have been around dog racing my whole life and there are so many variables in a dog race that it just makes having a certainty so difficult, much more so than a horse race. Having said that, when I saw your post, I was going to stick a fiver on it but then I got stuck doing something and forgot all about it!

Anderson most 180s
Ospreys win
Kansas city chiefs win
Seattle Seahawks win
Atlanta falcons win

Wasn't much that appealed when I had a look at the odds for tonight's game between MVG and Anderson but I'll have a little go on Anderson most 180s at 13/10. Anderson's hit 3 more than MVG so far in the tournament.

I used to do basketball betting but it's a proper mugs game, teams go 16 or 18 points up then throw way the lead so infuriating that is.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #3111 on:** January 11, 2017, 03:18:54 pm »

Jeff Smith to beat Martin Adams. Adams won the first set. Smith available at Evens now.

Yeah betting on outcomes is hard, even if you're tracking injuries, form, stats etc. My recent bets which I've won have been based around points totals (over/under) and winning 1st quarter margins, half margins etc. Still down on my NBA bets though hard one to master.
