So will I, Ski. I do spend some time away from home, and my laptop is useful then. iPad and laptops useful at point to points and races etc. I wasn't advocating anything, Ski. Just looking for reasons for the demise of the forum. Turnover is definitely down on tournaments lately, could just be a dearth of punters and layers.

Laid Tiger €48 @ 2.48 for an interest as I think the price is not equal to him even playing very, very, well. The market is showing no respect to the class of the 20 or so players around him on the leaderboard. I am factoring in your thoughts rhino. Bet might be a bit bigger later if a horse wins at Dundalk. Very short odds. So not going to give his name.

Quincy.....over 1.5m traded....turnover seems good....liquidity seems ok....were you expecting more?

If anybody wants a good leaderboard for the Puerto Rico tournament, you could do worse than check out Golf.com. I am keeping a watchful eye on my Fantasy teams. All alive so far. Unusual as I have had 3 bad weeks after a good start.

Tiger looking unflappable. Vintage. But very short. Odds on today by the looks of it.

Horse breezes in. It was just a breeze out before he heads for bigger things in Dubai.

Now it's time for Tiger to get a couple of bogies

its in the wind that tigers distance control and stuff has been struggling so if the wind comes at the weekend like predicted it will be interesting to see how he does
|
|
By:
Hopefully meng or this over. He is murdering the course in these conditions. anything can happen in the wind with all that water. This is a phenomenol display though. As good a round as I've seen since Louis went nuts in at the Deutsche Bank in the 3rd round I think it was.
|

By:
luckily im on him and stricker so very happy, but will still like to see how he handles it. i think its gonna be closer than the odds suggest tho.

I've done it again. I can jinx anybody. Serious talent.

maybe not. Reverse jinx that time.

By:
€163 laying Tiger @ 2.08. Liability €176.24. I think the odds do not reflect the chances of a player who is maybe 1 shot ahead of a very good field. And no guarantee he can keep playing and getting so many birdies. He has holed nearly everything. Thought Rose might have a crack at it but he has imploded. Plenty others and we are only half way.

he hasnt missed a putt..........hes not gonna putt like this for another 36 holes..........its far from over but tiger will still prob win

By:
Ski, been asleep in the armchair after a long at Crufts. Only expected more because Tiger was leadly. It's only 1.7m now, just seems a far cry from the old days.
Did lay some Tiger @ 4.4. I've had the needle since yesterday because I forgot to back McDowell. Did move a bit more Tiger @ 3.2 onto McDowell @ 15.5. Not a good move at the time, but it's OK now. Stake back out of McDowell and greened it all up. Got three or four lurkers just off the pace. It's what to do with Tiger now, my mind says I ought to lay more and have him my worst winner. |

By:
Impressive from Tiger . Going to be hard to shift by the looks of things .

By:
My typing is getting atrocious. Should read "long day at Crufts." and "Tiger was leading"

What breed of dogs interest you , Quincy ?
|
|
By:
Keeshonds. My wife was in the breed for over 60 years. Can only claim 40 years. First year not had an entry at Cruft's since 1986. Today's claim to fame is that I was asked to put a necktie on the Best of Breed winner.
|
|
By:
Necktie on the handler, not the dog, by the way.
|
|
By:
Not familiar with them , Quincy . Cant say I have seen too many this part of the world . Well done on the necktie . When do they announce the winners of the breeds ? We usually watch some coverage on TV , but haven't seen any so far . Must consult the schedules !
|

By:
More4, 6.30. Moves to Channel for on Sunday for the Best in Show. Have a look at the North of England Keeshond Club website, Kelly.

Any greyhounds Kelly ?

By:
No tober , my father used to have a lot way back in the forties , but I was only interested in backing dogs , not owning them . Spent a good while visiting those dogs when I was young , used to go every Sunday down to Mick Horans to see the dogs , and travel down to Tipp to pick up new dogs . Long time ago though .
Have spent a lot of time at Celtic , Dunmore , Shelbourne , and Tralee in my time . Will check that out , Quincy . Looked them up , must need a lot of grooming ! |
|
By:
@Kelly...I'm down in Tipp. Who did ye get young dogs from ?
|
|
By:
Is the Ballinabola kennel still going? Christy Murphy? in ballinabola of course! Lots of dogs at Ennisc, had a few bred round that way..

@ Ski - turnover has been consistently down this year compared to last. Eddie the Eagle and Knight Rider leaving/doing less these days would have a lot to do with that I think.
|

By:
Toberanna, might be over in Ireland for the dog show circuit later this year, if I can make arrangements for the three geriatrics I have at home.
Just for the stunning, at least talking about dogs has got half a page of posts on here. Have decided to make Tiger my worst winner. Should give me more scope for trading tonight. |

By:
Good point Quincy
![]() So who is the jolly in the Bernese Mountain Dog market?? |
|
By:
Apologies to the golfers in our midst , thread took a different turn late last night after Tiger blew the field ( and prospects for a lot ) away . Bit of wind might concertina field again .
Tober , not sure where we were going in Tipp , I was very young at the time , might not even have been at school ( didn't go to primary school until I was 6 , and I was out of it by age 10 ) . Still meet Mick's son occasionally ( Mick trained Mick the Miller by the way to his first English Derby success ) , he might remember although he is younger than me . Quincy , sounds like you have a good book on the Cadillac , and Tigers price now assures you of good opportunity for green ups if you choose . Have a good trip anyway whatever the outcome this time . Cheers . |

By:
Just to finish it up , Tober , only recollection re my fathers dogs was a leaning towards the "Tanist " line at that time . If that is a clue , so be it . My mother might also have some recollection , still on the ball in her nineties , but she was not into dogs ( except spending any associated profit ) , so unlikely , and my father never kept any cuttings etc , and both our premier tracks --Celtic and Dunmore --went to the wall years ago .
There was a publication a few years back about the Irish greyhound scene , my brother bought it for me , but I lent it to him and have not got it back yet . Mind you , two of my fathers mates won English Greyhound Derbys back then and that book had no write up on them , sad ommission , poor research . Crebilly men , coursing lines I suspect . Cheers . |
|
By:
the stunning, I'm not saying the judging is suspect, but it would probably depend on who is on the other end of the lead. Just had a look at the Best in Show market on here, total matched £0.00, available to back 7 for £10.00 @ 1.01. And we worry about liquidity!!!!
|
|
By:
Liquidity on here is getting worse , especially in running . Guess its down to the fast pics/ scalpers activity . Thought there might have been some activity on the 2nd round leader market with all the good scoring , buttons on the market ( on either side ) . Laid Gmac myself for small , backed Tiger 1.01 , huge profit ( not ) . Think I was about 30% of the total market .
Since the lads migrated the only time there are decent markets are overnight and the majors . Rest of the time you would be scratching yourself most of the night looking for accomodation or value . And the European market is normally useless outside of Sundays . Cant see any reversal though with current criteria in vogue . |
