Friday

Harsh to say the least tinytim i'd say , he quoted 2.16 average over 30 selections which comes out at 36.8% i think , reckon we'd all take that as a guaranteed % and stay in bed all day.

We're all big and ugly enough to make our own decision Neil so i'd say don't let that put you off posting , it'll be interesting to follow anyway whether as individuals we use either monopoly or real money

5.30 Chelmsford Q Twenty Boy ( each way ) 11/2 William Hill

That's surely as good as you'll get if you fancy that double amity and a tad bigger than if it was possible to do an exchange double.

Great shout Neil. Should add you won't see much posting pre match from me as i'm a low odds trader with a green up when appropriate but doesn't mean i can't use your picks to consider trading , example being Putinseva 1.03 to 1.88 which is a good enough swing for anyone

Would be a tragic loss at anytime of the season but not now surely Grass Cash , please reconsider

Agree Neil think it's no bet for now and see how it pans out early on , not taking 4/1 with that draw even though i fancy her.

Sabalenka and Gauff in same half again Top Half: [1] Sabalenka, [3] Gauff, [5] Zheng Qinwen, [7] Pegula Bottom Half: [2] Swiatek, [4] Paolini, [6] Rybakina, [8] Navarro

Wish i could say i like boxing Torque with it being i suppose as bloodthirsty as it gets , but i detest and never ever watch it.

Looking forward to the Australian Open on Sunday guys what do we make of the outright betting , my current fancies would be a Sinner / Gauff double at 12.5 but no bet until i see the draw and how the top 4 seeds are separated , last year it was 1&3 in the top and 2 & 4 in the bottom which allowed Sabalenka to meet Gauff in the SF. For those interested the draw is in a few hours time at 02.30am UK time

I wouldn't doubt what you're suggesting isn't the right way to go Torque long term but it'll be a brave man who makes that decision. Think Hockey's a love vs hate sport anyway tbh and i just happen to be in the love camp , the sport is fast and brutal and admittedly i'm hooked. It's a debate we'd get nowhere with if elongated as plenty have tried before us with no other resolution. One thing we 100% agree on is the non banning of Matt Cooke was disgraceful for either or both of the Savard and Karlsson incidents.

Wednesday Apologies for these blank days but the so called offers/boosts are so poor at the moment , the racing i can understand with the weather and the only worthwhile soccer is the low rated cup competition which i think bookmakers are frightened giving anything too positive or even negative away is due to team news in these 3rd rate competitions. Will keep looking and posting and hopefully something before the inevitability of a few on Saturday

3.03 Newcastle Annandale ( each way ) 13/2 William Hill

There are as many that'll agree with you Torque that won't but it's been debated that much in the past i'm sure it'll never change now , know zero about soccer but reckon Ice Hockey is a far more brutal and physical game so hard to make that comparison , maybe Rugby a nearer comparison. Also worth adding Matt Cooke DIDN'T get any ban or suspension for that hit despite having previous and tbh that's the part i don't agree with , he'd had 5 or 6 suspensions in the past but his previous bad hit was on Karlsson who missed 31 games due to that injury but again no ban for Cooke , go figure on that one i'm afraid. It's all about opinions i guess

Final comment on the fighting topic , the repercussions of not allowing players to throw a few punches and avoid storing the anger for later is well illustrated in this clip of Matt Cooke hitting Marc Savard with a brutal head shot that effectively ended his career and damaged him mentally , the debate will be that a few unbalanced punches could have avoided this incident. Watch the full two minutes including the slow motion replays , it's a sickening blow at high speed and still causes bitterness between Bruins & Penguins.

6.30 Wolverhampton Red Walls ( each way ) 11/2 William Hill

Tuesday Obviously thin on the ground for horse racing but suggesting soccer marginally for Bet365 over the other SOT boosts , subject to both players starting. Bet365 Isak & Jesus to have 1 x SOT each at 2/1 Only one of the players starting so as suggested via team news no bet , value evaporated. Stakes today £0.00 Today Profit £0.00 Cumulative stakes £250.00 Cumulative Profit £127.50

Obviously agree the more accounts the better and you need either of all of a syndicate , big family or lots of trusted friends. I'm a massive believer of needing both the exchange and bookmakers to fulfill all your requirements , on that note ive been a fanatic follower of bad e/way acca's for as long as i can remember and that's probably my biggest lifetime earner overall when the shape / maths / exposure of a race fits the criteria. I've not seen this strategy discussed anywhere on the forum , i'm not the only one to play this way surely ????

I've been full time punting since August 31st 2007 MC so god help me if they're not decent 😁

Thought about posting 2024 figures but then thought pretty meaningless as i've only been conversing with the forum for 5 minutes , will leave it 12 months. Best of luck to everyone

Sorry meaning to say great shout Anders Lee anytime , he bagged two for good measure

Monday Can't find a single bet to fit the criteria today so far , good job patience is a virtue.

6pm Wolverhampton Sweet Couture ( each way ) 11/2 William Hill

Kudos Minella for generating profit from pre match plays as it's a difficult sport to do that , in fact any of the American sports is a challenge playing that way. Considering NHL is my No1 sporting passion i feel a bit of a fraud really for not posting regular opinions as with or without a bet i watch every minute possible whoever's playing , my ways are purely in-play by laying generally the team with at least a two goal lead but putting my own requests in rather than waiting for someone to hand it to me , as i'm primarily playing after midnight you generally get a different type of punter involved at that time and being very late ( in the UK anyway ) they make ridiculous errors at times like placing odds on the pink instead of the blue , BOT's going wrong especially the night the clocks go forward or back and also there are plenty of chasers who can't sleep and try to recoup losses on either the horses or soccer , the reasons for the quirkily matched odds is mainly due to the fact the markets are unmanaged and are the traders sole responsibility , someone last week gave me a free £3.2k by placing an intended lay as a bet by mistake ( probably tired eyes , inebriated or just a BOT glitch ) and whilst it's maybe not morally correct to exploit this stuff if i didn't take it someone else would , just need planned odds in your head after the next goal goes in , a decent bank and above all patience whilst remembering on the exchange in unmanaged markets if you don't ask you don't get. Another way of playing is the divisional outright betting particularly around now or from February onwards as most bookmakers rarely suspend divisional odds overnight and the angles can get bigger and bigger as the remaining matches run down , even on trade deadline day ( which is 8pm March 7th this year ) they rarely suspend which is daft as the General Managers normally make a statement by either splashing the cash for this years or showing no trading interest as an inkling to waiting for next season , bookmaker errors are rife here around March when they end up tweaking divisional outright prices depending or the result overnight ( laziness ) instead of clearing the market and starting again due to the volatility when they're approaching the 82 matches played in the regular season. Occasionally play the outright in all markets but only when the prices are too big because some bookmakers have left the market dormant for too long. Can't honestly say i never play pre match but it would have to be a strategical play such as , opposing home teams back from a long road trip , oppose teams who have a statement or divisional game within a day or two and generally look at past and future air miles as these coaches cherry pick certain statement and divisional matches as big targets in which they also look to protect the 1pt earned for the tie if up against a big rival even with a good way to go in P3 , Dallas Stars for example earlier in season played 5 road games in 8 days across 4 different time zones and there isn't another sport on the planet that has that sort of brutal schedule. On the topic of fighting i've seen a few documentaries with questions repeatedly asked as to why it's allowed and it always comes back to the lesser of two evils , far better to let them throw a few punches at each other off balance on skates than let the revenge spill over into open play when the bodily damage can be a lot more serious and life threatening normally involving head shots at speed , so i don't see fighting being stopped anytime soon. Good luck and will keep looking in and post anything i see as looking too good to miss
