Just got this e-mail:

Alright Lads, Stanjames have made a mess of the womens 10k market.

Dibaba will be 5s on here with Defar opting for the 5k.

http://www.letsrun.com/news/2013/08/the-sports-fans-lose-again-meseret-defar-and-tirunesh-dibaba-not-to-double-in-moscow/

They put Dibaba in at 13/8 with Defar 10/11 for the 10k.

I checked the rules and there's no rule 4 or anything on outright bets.

http://www.stanjames.com/UK/541/betting#action=market-group-list&bo-navigation=59179.2,95427.2&market-group=709994.2

Bombs away on Dibaba for the 10k.

1.19 Dibaba on Betfair

Nice 18k jog before bed...Needed it after the Cheesecake Factory today

Colonel Sanders · 13-08-2013 11:09am

Its that time of year again.

1.43 Lolerpool at home to Stoke at the weekend. My (reasonably rough) model implies for that to be fair Lolerpool are approx 24 points better than Stoke over the 38 game season. Sporting Index pitch their spreads in such a way that they make Lolerpool 25pts better so I'm not far off

Guess the question is are either Lolerpool being over rated or Stoke under rated

Johner · 13-08-2013 11:12am

I think Swansea at 10/3 at home to United is a pretty decent bet. Swansea have a good home record and look very strong this year. Think Bony is going to tear it up. Have him in my fantasy football team. :cool:

I think Liverpool HT-FT will be a good bet this season along with Chelsea to to win to nil or also HT-FT.

Simple advice, try their Buried At Sea milk stout, its a serious, serious drink

It's just over 1.16 the big 3 coupled at best odds/Betfair (even assuming 5% commission) in the Premier League betting.

Not saying I'm backing it but its surely value

Colonel Sanders · 14-08-2013 10:54am

Best odds give a slightly under round book for all 20 teams & Liverpool are surely under priced.

They're 2 ticks shorter than Spurs in the outrights who are 4/6 to beat them in a match bet for some unknown reason

Don't really fancy having my money tied up at 1/6 for 10 months though?

That's the problem. I make it just under 1.14 if you apply a discount rate of 2.5%

Kevin Pullein wrote in the RP that the 1/8 (which was the price using best bookmakers prices at the time) was more than fair, in fact he hinted it was huge. If you're into punting 1/8 shots that is!

Any price on betfair for the hammers to finish in the top 10? Not sure if the bricks and morters take those bets.

Johner · 14-08-2013 11:52am

West Ham to be relegated. What price? :pac:

Three promoted teams really don't look like they will be good enough this season to stay up.

True! West Ham should be in around the top 10 this season. Ravel Morrison needs to start! Most impressive player on the pitch when Chelsea youths played United a few years back in the Youth Cup and that includes Pogba! If he wasn't such a headcase he would have been unreal. Having some preseason though! Still has a chance for him to fulfill some of his potential.

Also think Downing and Carroll are two very good signings for West Ham despite what Pool fans would have you believe. Solid squad with the likes of Rat,Demel,Reid,Jarvis,Maiga,Vaz Te,Noble,Nolan,Downing and Carroll! Don't rate Collins though think they could do with a new centre half!

yeah I agree its big and Im not adverse to backing that short its the time that puts me off, might be an interesting project for me actually to do up some sort of formula/table thingy on the correlation between the price and how long the money will be tied up........ummmmmmmmmm
