Re: Grand Slam of Darts 2012 - 10-18 Nov Newton v Harms over 3.5 180's @ 2.10 BlueSQ We have two decent scorers here and both should contribute towards covering this line. In their first matches they both hit 2 180's a piece in 7 legs both winning 5-2. I think this will be a closer match and we should see at least 8 legs here that will help towards the 180 count. First matches - Harms - 2 x 180, 6 x 140+, 3 dart ave 101.79 Newton - 2 x 180, 5 x 140+, 3 dart ave 93.39 William Hill have the same line @ 1.67 so I'm more than happy to take this line on at above evens.

Re: Capital One Cup > October 30/31
Well I didn't think it would be quite that easy :cigarReading v Arsenal - Reading to score over 1.5 goals @ 2.88 Skybet Reading have scored in each of their 4 home games this season and have covered this line in their last 2. Arsenal have now conceded 1 goal in each of their last 3 away games. They haven't conceded 2 goals in the league yet this season, but they did concede 2 at home to Schalke in the CL last week. The over 2.5 market is around 1.60 and I think that's about right. IMO Reading are likely to contribute towards the goals in this match and @ 2.88 I think we have some real value that they can score twice. With Arsenal set to rotate their side I think that Reading will be able to get at this defence. Wenger never really give this competition much importance and I think he will already have one eye on the big game at Old Trafford on Saturday. I fancy Reading to give Arsenal a real game tonight, but I'm not quite brave enough to back them outright. Instead will take them to cause Arsenal a few problems and score at least 2 in the process. -

Everton over 1.5 goals @ 2.50 Bet365 Everton have covered this line in 2 out of 3 homes games this season. In the other game they still found the net and played very well in a 1 nil win over Man Utd. Liverpool have conceded over 1.5 goals in 2 out of 3 away games this season. In the other game they also conceded 1 against a Sunderland side who aren't really creating too much at the minute. I think for the first time in a long time Everton go into this match with the better team. They will have the FA Cup semi final defeat fresh in their minds and I expect them to take the game to Liverpool. Also worth considering that much of this Liverpool side also played on Thursday night and IMO that isn't ideal preparation for an early derby game away from home. I'm favouring Everton here but to win it I think they will need to score at least 2 goals. So for the slightly lower price I will take the overs on goals with cover on the draw or possible defeat.[/quote Glad I took this rather than backing the Everton win. Happy days

Re: Scottish Football - Oct 26-27 Motherwell v Hibs - Hibs over 1.5 @ 2.75 Bet365 In 4 away games Hibs have gone over 1.5 in 3 out of 4 matches including scoring 2 at Celtic. In the other away game they still managed to find the net losing 2-1 at Aberdeen. Motherwell have only conceded over 1.5 goals once this season. However they have conceded at least one in every home game so far. I think this game will have goals in it and I think the chances of Hibs contributing 2 towards the total are much better than the odds so I will have a play @ 2.75

Just testing the above and I see what you mean. As a bit of a workaround If you hit return several times and create some blank space this seems to make the space active and you can then scroll up and down and just click where you want to type. That seems to work fine I also can't find a thank post option

I have noticed the same issue. I think it occurs when you move from a wifi connection to 3G without shutting down the app. If i close the App down from the running apps and then open again when on 3G it works fine. Hope that helps

Phew, I really didn't think that was coming in after Durham's innings Fair play to Lancs for pushing on with the run rate Just goes to show how low that line was Top stuff again Kev.

Re: Friends Life T20 2012 For anyone still wanting to follow on the overs - WilliamHill have now pushed the line out to over 7.5 @ 5/6 Skybet have it at over 6.5 @ 5/6 was @ evens earlier today

Great stuff Kev. I followed you all in on that one Ive also just taken England to hit over 5.5 sixes @ 2.25 bet365 They currently have 1 and if they are going to get anywhere near this case then I fancy at least another 5 sixes along the way Top, top stuff Kev

Happy with that. Stroll in the park for the Germans tbh4 points BTTS @ 2.37 Skybet I think this price is too big and I will have a play on BTTS. Most other bookies have this priced around 2.20 so for me Skybet are a fair way out on this one. Of the six games these teams have played in the tournament so far this would have come in 4 out of 6. Both teams have scored in every game with both keeping only one clean sheet. I expect Germany to win this match but I think Greece can at least cause them some problems and get on the scoresheet in the process. Greece showed when down to ten men against Poland they have a decent team spirit coming back to get the draw. They also overcame a better technical side in Russia to progress and I think they will go into this game without any fear. The Germans quality isn't in doubt and I really can't see the Germans failing to score here, so I think we are getting a great price on Greece just getting the one goal. -

Re: Championship > Play-Offs 1st Leg > 3-4 May
Loss - I missed the first half but was really disappointed with what I saw of Birmingham in the second. Having said that King had a great chance to get the required goal in injury time.6pts - Blackpool v Birmingham - BTTS @ 1.70 Williamhill I like the look of both to score here with two good attacking sides on display. The home side will be keen to score to take something into a tough second leg at Birmingham, and like West Ham last night I think Birmingham will be looking for an away goal. Blackpool have scored at conceded in 7 out of their last 10 home games. You have to go back 13 games since they failed to score at home. Birmingham have scored and conceded in each of their last 10 away games, bringing in BTTS for their last 10 away games. Looking forward to a decent game tonight in which I think BTTS looks very likely and I will go with a decent stake. -

Re: World Championship - April 21st - May 7th 3pts - Day v Stevens - Day (+6.5 Frames) @ 2.10 Bet365 Day was terrible for second session yesterday and his head had just gone. Stevens reeled off the 8 frames but I wasn't that impressed with him either - I think his top break was around the 60 mark and he gave Day plenty of chances to take frames. I will have a little play that Day comes back with a clear head today and can take 2 of the first 3 frames. He will know he isn't going through but I think he will want to put on a bit of a perfromance to show he is a better player than we saw last night. At odds above evens I think this is worth a little punt Excellent stuff in here so far guys

Re: Indian Premier League 2012 4pts - Pune Warriors v Deccan Chargers - over 25.5 Fours @ 1.83 Bodog More stroke players than out and out big hitters on display for me today so I will try and take on the fours line rather than the sixes. I might well live to regret that if some of the big hitters do get going, but I just think we are more likely to see lots of fours today than a six fest. Pune have gone over this line 3 out of the last 4 matches contributing - 13,19,11 and 15 themselves Deccan have gone over this line 2 out of the last 4 matches contributing - 9,15,18 and 6 themselves Barring Dale Steyn and Alfonso Thomas both attacks are capable of scoring off and I will have a go that we can see over the 26 fours today.

Re: Indian Premier League 2012
Line covered this time with Punjab hitting 7 and Hussey coming to the party with 4. Still nothing from Pollard though - It looks like I have well and truly put the mockers on him. Good shout Wongy :clap8 sixes in this match so lost out by 1. The surprising thing for me was the only player to hit a six for the Mumbai Indians was Franklin who chipped in with 4. It was good to see Punjab contribute 4 though and still without Hussey clearing the ropes. After the narrow miss last time, I will try and take on the line again with the same reasoning as above. IMO we have so many hitters on display that the line just looks a little low to me. Hopefully we can get over the 9 required this time. 4pts - Mumbai v Punjab - Over 8.5 sixes @ 1.83 Skybet -

They have had two batting failure at home in three matches and we have got nowhere near this line. However in the other match they managed 12 themselves in a match that had 23 sixes on this ground. This included all of the top 5 hitting at least one 6 so we know we have plenty of potential to clear the ropes. You also have Singh coming in at the end to help with this line. Punjab haven't got an array of bit hitter like Mumbai, but Azhar Mahmood came in for his IPL debut in the last game and cleared the ropes twice. I'm still waiting on Hussey to really fire yet with the big shots, and Shaun Marsh has shown he is capable of the big shot. Mumbai will be without Malinga which has got to be a bonus for this line as he is very difficult to get away for 6. Tendulkar is back from injury as well. For Punjab the availability of Gilchrist is still unclear. Any T20 match anywhere with Pollard in the lineup and a line of only 8.5 sixes is a bet for me. Williamhill have the same odds with the lines set at over 9.5 -

Re: Indian Premier League 2012 The over's on sixes came in yesterday, thanks to a fantastic innings from Pietersen who covered the line on his own with 9 sixes. I will take on the line again today and will be hoping for something similar from Gayle. 4pts - KXIP v Bangalore - over 9.5 sixes @ 1.83 Skybet It has to be said the stats on this ground for sixes hasn't been fantastic. In the last two matches we have seen only 3 and 4 in pretty low scoring affairs. However that has included some poor batting displays and wasn't with the Bangalore batting line up. Bangalore have massive hitting potential in their side and managed 13 last time out with 8 coming of the blade of Chris Gayle. We also have Tiwary, De Villiers, Agarwal and Dilshan who are more than capable of hitting maximums. As with yesterday my preferred option will be for Bangalore to bat first and hopefully get close to covering this line on their own. However if not I still believe we have enough hitters in the KXIP to help contribute towards covering this line. David Hussey has had a quiet tournament so far, but if Dogra can stop running him out then he is more than capable of clearing the ropes. FYI - Williamhill have the same odds with the line set at 10.5 so I think we have a bit of value on a line which could look very low if Bangalore bat first and Gayle fires.

Re: Indian Premier League 2012 4pts Delhi v Deccan - over 8.5 sixes @ 1.80 - Skybet This line is low enough for me to take on considering the big hitters we have on both teams. The danger here is that the Delhi attack have been blowing teams away, restricting three teams to below 110. They are then coming in and knocking off the runs with little fuss and without the need to score many sixes. Last time out on this ground we had 6 sixes in 33 overs with 110 playing 111. Deccan managed to hit 7 sixes last time out with JP Duminy hitting 5 himself Ideally I would like Delhi to bat first in this game and try and put a decent score on the board. However even if they bowl first I still think that 9 sixes is achievable. At some point someone will get after this Delhi attack and I will have a play that Deccan can do enough to contribute to covering this line today.

Re: West Indies vs Australia - ODI Series & 2xT20 Internationals 4pts - Over 1.5 run outs @ 2.30 Bluesquare Hard for me to go into massive in depth reasoning here, but we have seen 3 run outs in both the 3rd and 2nd ODIs with 1 run out in the 1st ODI. I think this is a good price for the pattern of the last 2 matches to continue and I think we should see at least 2 more run outs here. 3rd ODI - 3 run outs - 2 Australia, 1 Windies 2nd ODI - 3 run outs - 1 Australia, 2 Windies 1st ODI - 1 run out - 1 Windies IMO the fact that both teams still have all to play for helps this bet as we should see some pressure situations with guys pushing for the extra run that isn't really available.
