As in what Tim? Free cash on muzza? I expect so
Sir Ben steaming in for t3 I sat looking at the cash at 8/1 a few weeks ago and didn't bother  |

Muzza of course. Crazy move but boredom does often set in I guess. Well done to Shirley and gang who were laying at 1.02 and 1.03 for this very opportunity.

imagine he'll be 1.04 again soon
|

By:
The T3 W/O games far more interesting to me
Resting on a few noms... Time Ronnie had one? Halfpenny looks interesting Froch of course |
|
By:
Ronnie w/o a corking bet if he got those noms

...don't worry Nige ~ your 1.02/1.03 Murray back is safe

These markets are very thickle and even though almost every time big favourites come out on someone trying to manipulate them I can never bring myself to have a net lay position. Shirley is very good at this.

"Very difficult here to see how you go wrong backing both Murray and Froome." "It will 95% for me be one of the two. Probably Murray no matter what happens today." nigelpm1 • July 7, 2013 5:54 PM BST "yep. Done and dusted. Two good years for me." nigelpm1 • July 7, 2013 6:01 PM BST "accident wouldn't change anything." nigelpm1 • July 7, 2013 10:09 PM BST "what can you get on an ISA these days?" "It's near as dammit risk free. Not sure there's a better investment" nigelpm1 • August 26, 2013 10:16 PM BST Keep picking up blocks of Murray here - won't make me rich but it's absolutely 99.9% assured. ...don't worry Nige ~ your 1.04 Murray back is safe |

There isn't a chance Murray loses this. You shouldn't be able to back him any more.

wales rfu host saffers, argies, tonga and wallabies in november
1/2p could be a great shout if nommed, you know how these welsh enjoy a phone vote bbc might even do free votes online for spoty, that'll help the facebookers ! still think muzza would be very unlucky not to win |
|
By:
No campaign enough to beat him
Though farage and froomage look very vulnerable for the places |
|
By:
the longer bbc leave the nominations the less time to organise a campaign too
there must be some wimmin to get nommed...... a top ten market would be good, but obviously open to insiders no overseas spotty market again vettel v bolt would be a goodun |

By:
I've asked several times for a SPOTY shortlist market and even suggested that Betfair could suspend such a market at the time the BBC selection panel begin to convene for the first time for their sole purpose of commencing the shortlist selection process (...or simply at midnight on 31 October). Perhaps if enough of us 'badger' Betfair in this regard, they will consider such a market for next year.
However and much more importantly folks, where is Richard Kiel?  Richard, your 1.04 Murray back is safe and the market will once again soon reflect this |
|
By:
OK guys, with SPOTY just over 6 weeks away, of the likely shortlist contenders who do you rate as having "not a chance" of winning.
I'll start off with: Chris Froome ~ "not a chance" |
|
By:
 everyone except Muzza |
|
By:
Except David Weir

All of them Richard, including Murray?

Multiple Universes = YES ~ Parallel Universes = NO
Richard, what price do you think that Murray will drift to when he announces he can't be @rsed in coming over from Miami to Leeds for SPOTY? |
|
By:
He'll come this time
He knew he wasn't gonna win last year |
|
By:
...you may be quite correct Mr Brush, but Murray's price if he doesn't change his usual Miami training block and normal itinerary?
(iirc Sir Bradley drifted to about 1.75 on the day/night of SPOTY 2012, so there will be panic in the Peleton if there is another no show by Murray) |
|
By:
Others have won the award while abroad, Jim - Flintoff, Calzaghe… If anything it earns more respect for professionalism & dedication. Did Muzza no harm last year when he grabbed 3rd place in a very competitive heat.
The Wiggo drift was due to discovery of early running order of his VT, & Jess getting all the fanfare later on. |
|
By:
Pretty sure I've read somewhere that Murray isn't attending. The Wiggo drift was a bunch of folk getting themselves all excitable about the running order and ignoring the polls.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
He is not fully fit right now, so that probably makes him more likely to come?
Was expecting 1.01 or 1.02 by now to be honest - very surprised it's moving the other way |
|
By:
Moving the other way?? Been 1.04-1.06 for ages with the small spike out to 1.11

You a backer or a layer nigel?

By:
and I'd add it really would have to be major!
|
|
By:
...such as a major power cut north of the Border on the night of 15 December?
How is Murray polling Richard? |
|
By:
|
|
By:
I did see Murray didn't poll particularly well on GoggleBox when he recently collected his OBE, but as you correctly say he's really a 1.01 shot much like Darren Clarke was in 2006.
