another group tomorrow. Quite a weak group. Here is the line-up :
J.Brown
Saengkham
Woollaston
Grace
Ferg O'Brien
Figueredo
Parsons
McGuigan
I'm not convinced on Jordan Brown. I feel like you could rule out McGuigan, Figs, Ferg and perhaps Woollaston. I like Saengkham and Grace tomorrow and I think Parsons is a good outsider chance. I'll take the 9/2 on Grace and the 66s on Parsons.
2pts D.Grace to win Group 9/2 bet365
0.5pts R.Parsons to win Group 66/1 betfred

No luck with either Grace or Parsons. I like Ursenbacher in todays group. I think only Hawkins looks better in form than him, in the group. 

2.5pts A.Ursenbacher to win group 4/1 bet365

no joy. Typically, I was contemplating taking either Gould or Olly Lines. I went with what I thought was safe and ofcourse, Lines wins. Another group gets played tomorrow. Here is the line up (Group H) :
A.Carter
D.Emery
M.Davis
T.Pengfei
C.Bingyu
S.Lichtenberg
K.Johal
H.Hussain
I'm going to keep faith with Carter and have an outsider half point on Emery. Bingyu was tempting but at 9/2 it's not appealing enough. In a "first to 2" match, anybody can get on a roll, really. Carter has been quite consistent recently and won his Championship League group, recently.
4pts A.Carter to win Group 7/2 bet365
0.5pts D.Emery to win Group 25/1 bet365
 

Carter wins the group, with just one loss. +13.5pts

Fair enough but there were only 3 outstanding bets so let's agree they all lost and call it -234 points and draw a line under it. But you can't run a thread and fail to keep a proper record of the bets in it and then just start again.
No, probably best to keep it in here rather than start another thread. Just do the necessary housekeeping.
To be honest, and without wishing to sound harsh, what I'd like you to do is set out the approach and stick to it for, say, at least 3 months. I wish you well but your track record doesn't bode well for this thread still to be running, on the recently stated terms, come the start of June. Hopefully a bit of blunt but fair criticism will spur you on to make me eat my words!

Imperial cup saturday 
Natural history 9.5  9/2 7/2 no value 
One true king  8.4 8/1 16/1 good value 
Rockadenn  8.2 9/1 8/1 no value 
Competitive race as youd expect ....but natural history is way out in front ....bit disappointed only 7/2 in such a big race but a winner before chelt is a winner .....I'll be going 20pts win natural history with a 10pt saver on one true king at 16/1 as hes the value bet .....time to trust the ratings and blast off

1893 result: DeChambeau 71, Westwood 73. Won £24

O'Neill absolute rubbish. A few big name casualties today, including Williams, Selby and Kyren Wilson. Quite an open looking draw, now. We already know 4 of the final 16. The other 12 matches will take place tomorrow, with the evening being the Last 16 matches.
Murphy and Carter are both playing well for the outright picks. Junxu and Milkins are both still hanging around too. Just the one bet for tomorrow and it's Zifan to beat Jimmy White. We've not seen Jimmy reach the last 32 of a ranking event for a while. He played really well, after going 3-0 down to O'Connor but Bingham was terrible in his next match. I think Zifan wins this one.
5.5pts C.Zifan to beat J.White 10/11 bet365
Gibraltar Open tips -9.25pts

Mann wins but Bingyu manages to lose 4-2 from 2-o up. One bet for tomorrow and that's Jamie O'Neill against Lu Ning. O'Neill looked really good against Lee Walker, with 2 centuries and 2 50+ breaks in his 4-2 win. He went 2-0 down in that match, too. Ning looked terrible against Robertson in the Players but improved to beat Lichtenberg 4-3. He'll have to step it up to beat O'Neill though.

Great! It's nice to see someone winning so much over the long term.

As long as I keep on betting Chad I will continue this thread. It was supposed to end in August last year but I decided to keep it going. If the original stake of £2020 is lost then of course the thread will end. So hopefully you have got me for many years to come.

Unbrigado wins ...killer clown 2nd ...ffs ..??
