    Dumyat got a reaction from Mindfulness in Sun sets for Tabcorp   
    An email arrived July 19
    "As of today, Thursday 19th July 2018, Tabcorp UK Ltd will cease providing gambling services on behalf of The Sun and Sun Bets will be closing.
    Your funds are – and will remain – safe. Please log in to your account here and withdraw any funds as soon as possible."
    i requested the withdrawal and the cash came back immediately. All very efficient so why is the OZ firm departing from their tie-up with the Sun newspaper.
    Good article here explains all ; http://www.sportismadeforbetting.com/2018/07/tabcorp-pull-pin-on-lemon-called-sunbets.html
    "In this week's least surprising news in the wagering industry, Tabcorp have decided to stop the haemorrhaging and get out of the lemon that is SunBets. For a firm to willingly pay around £40m to get out a deal, it must have an absolute shocker.
    Let's examine a few of the reasons why:
    1 - joint ventures between media companies and betting firms NEVER work.
    Both sides think it's a licence to print money, and the deals are usually handled by people with limited knowledge of how the other business operates. In my time at Betfair, the powers at be signed two of these deals, with MSN and Yahoo. Does anyone remember those wonderful partnerships? Those from the betting firm think every reader of the site will sign up and spend lots of money, while those from the media operation are just as gullible, thinking their readers just want to piss money away with any new brand they point them at. Unrealistic expectations puts stars in the eyes on both sides and the contract becomes a disaster.
    2 - The Sun is a toxic brand
    It might work well with the white van man brigade (who probably prefer to do business in cash) but to many others, including anyone who supports one of England's most prestigious football clubs, they won't touch it with a barge pole. Losing a big chunk of your available market before you start isn't ideal........"

    Last selections: +2.36 pts from 28 bets
    Overall: +83.73 pts from 1256 bets (+6.67 % yield)
    Here is a spreadsheet with the table I use to track my bank. Somewhere along the way, 3 bets got lost or were not recorded properly and there is a slight difference in the bank value (84.20 vs 83.7 reported here).

    I've been pretty busy this week and didn't have time to make new selections...I'll try to come up with some for Sunday and the next week.

    4/23/2017 17:00 MXC Pumas UNAM vs Veracruz home or draw 1.78 1.61 0.11 Marathonbet 4/17/2017 8:43 1 I think this one is just a straight Home since Home +0.5 is currently 1.18
    Home is currently 1.65 Marathon.

    Edit: Or more likely it is Grozny (Away?) + Draw

    Must be tough trying to keep track of all these different leagues. It's an excellent thread and gives some useful ideas for bets.
