GENTLEMEN...... I have been expecting you....

This is great, all the old names floating about and a few new ones!!

Been off the internet for a week, what a nice surprise to return to.

Good to see you all doing well!!

Have not had a bet for a week so behind on the 365 challange, tips welcolme :-)

VSSSSSSSSSSS!
Thought you'd gone missing :(
I haven't bet for a while either, which seems strange when i've got money floating about on here!
But decided im going to have a big look at the Libertadores tonight after I get back from work, expect a big write up in here :)

Im off out now though, but be sure to check the thread around 9ish, I did have a good run in this comp last year!

Free - what time is the game later? I will be back about 11:00 from footy tonight?

Rob - good to see you are about mate, i am ok, stated this 365 challange again, £100 on 1 Jan but about 1.5weeks behind as not been on for last week. Was lookig at laying Porto myself, what you think?

VS.
Good to see you about,
Wedged,
The Accenture world matchplay begins tomorrow in Tuscon.
No Tiger Woods 3 time winner,but there is Geoff Ogilvy who is a 2 time winner and a runner up in four attempts at this comp.
Obviously gets on with the course and this matchplay format.
Current form also encouraging as one title won already this season.
Definate back to lay material i think.

Win outright @ 17.5.
Top Four. @ 5.2. Last nights prices when placed mine.*
Found nothing to interest me tonight so no bet Day 9.

Deportivo Cuenca v Banfield (00:15)
Well this one will be very tough to pick a winner, but I am very certain that goals will be very few and far between. Wouldn't expect many, if any at all. Banfield known as a strong defensive side, haven't seen many games where goals have been easy to come by. Add that to the fact Cuenca really aren't that much of a threat in front of goal, I find goals very very unlikely. If Banfield went for it, then goals will come flowing, but they won't. Away from home they will be shrewd and defend tightly. As for a winner, I think it's very tough to call. Banfield I would say is the strongest of the two sides, but that's probably because they can defend. I can actually see a 0-1 win. I do think Banfield's organisation will see them successful against a very mixed Cuenca side. Therefore my best would be.......
Back Under 2.5 goals @ 1.8
Back Under 3.5 goals @ 1.31
Lay Deportivo Cuenca @ 2.26
Back 0-1 @ 12.0

Universitario v Lanus (02:30)
Goals, Goals, Goals!!!!!!
That's how I see the game going anyway. Both sides play a very free flowing attacking game, especially Universitario. At home they will really go for this, not the greatest in front of goal but they will create a lot of chances, and in doing so will leave gaps for Lanus to penetrate. Match odds, I couldn't care less really, I just think it's going to be an exiting to game to watch.
If I was betting,
Back Over 2.5 goals @ 2.12
Back Over 3.5 goals @ 3.85
Back Over 1.5 First half goals @ 3.1

Best of luck if any of you guys follow me in :)

Hey C&T, good to see you too, nice that your having a go here. Do you do much Golf betting?

Rob, saw teams and went for 1 goal or more in Porto v Arse game (good job didnt lay Porto).

Free, good work with the write up, may have a small interest on both following the effort you have put in there

Hi VS, please don't feel obliged to follow my tips!
Im quite confident of the first game, especially the 0-1 correct score, but it could all go horribly wrong!
By:

When: 17 Feb 10 22:36
Free,
You dont want to go into so much detail as you will only encourag gambling,lol.
So read your post and now on unders.
VS,
Like to play for small stakes on the golf if something looks reasonable.
Thought at work today about how much to increase initial stakes and posted the odds here tonight,went to the odds after posting and 7.5 pts shorter.
No point in placing the rest now.
What are your markets these days.

When: 17 Feb 10 22:39
Haha Tom :D
Harsh, but well, im confident of my predictions :D
By:
Valueee Seeeker
When: 17 Feb 10 22:44
Free - you sound too confident not to follow!!

C&T - Ogilvy 11s on here now to win (8/1 with most bookmakers) so if you on at higher odds well done you. Well away from here play on the Gee Gees (like e/w betting in the main, which is hard to do on here), On here - quite a few things (too many if I am honest) - Footy, Tennis, NFL, Darts, Cricket (T20 and ODIs), Ruby Union (6 out of 6 on six nations so far) and Rugby League (like I say, too many).

They are useful notes for those of us that would not know the game was on,well done.

When: 17 Feb 10 22:47
Also VS, I don't think you can be involved in too many sports, as long as you pick your bets carefully and don't just chuck loads on in all sorts of markets (Like me :( ) then there isn't any reason why you can't be successful!

Have you had much success?

Horses and dogs were the bane of my bank.
Luck was so bad iwould back a nag ante-post and day of race trainer would scratch it.
Then back a mutt at hackney and he stops first bend to scratch himself.

Matched WGC Accenture Match Play : Outright - Win Market BACK Geoff Ogilvy 17 £2.00 17

Matched Top 4 Finish - Place BACK Geoff Ogilvy 5.3 £3.00 5.3

Pasted this from my account at Purple place,means nothing as i could have printed it that way,just that as the price has gone since last night it looks like large dose of aftertiming.

Morning chaps,
Just been on the golf thread and discovered that as this is a matchplay event it started yesterday,no wonder prices changed so dramatically.
Ogilvy won by 7 shots with 5 to play,just placed a fiver @9.8 as he appears to be in rude form.
Thats the full stake on,will pay more attention next time.
