Won well first time out,top jockey up and currently about 2/1 on betfair 13/8 in bookies.Has a good chance alright.
-
Carnage in the first 2 races-a 2/9 shot tipped up at the last opener and 1/3 shot beat in the second race. ??? ???
-
have a small e/w bet sizing potzie multilee and pencil .The one in the first was beaten at odds on last time as well .1/10 in running .if you have the disiplin there is some value opposing the really short priced ones .
-
Went weak in the market in the end when they came for the fav which was a concern.They crawled in the race until the last 3 furlongs which might not have suited.
-

No better fall guy than yourself, Hal. You're too wise for this kip....the darts is back up on Quest today so there's that to entertain us all.

Ah would ye stop it LL!!

Watched a bit of it on Eurosport over the weekend. It's not the same without little Richard (Ashdown)... even Winmau have abandoned them... and still no confirmation/discussion of prize money from the TV presenters... and hardly a ticket sold, rumour has it that they even struggled to give them away to the Counties, them Northerners don't like change or that London apparently!
-
Silly move when all considered...........it's their final yr. Hearn has been promoting Sherrock from Milton Keynes big-time...all about the lesbian/feminazi dollar now with that ruthless pox (Hearn).....Even Billy-Jean singing her praises on Grindr. Of course, her heterosexuality (proven with a sprog) not withstanding.
-
Not sure that bringing her around the world is his best ever decision. For the most part the World Series (or whatever it's called) is aimed at developing the game in foreign climes. Showing or telling men that they can't even compete with British women and the like is hardly going to encourage them?
-
Sulovjic's bar is up for sale in Vienna.....last words were " this means nothing to me". Poor auld Serb took all that trouble to learn German only to be beaten by a bird with worse English than himself.

How cruel time and fate can be.......lest we forget only for the BDO there'd be no PDC. Hearn has an uncanny ability to mass-produce or "Chinafy" every game he touches. Even the genius, Ronnie the Rocket, has said he's "roofless, a proper Kant and a farquin' Barra Boy".
-
Indeed, there's still some decent darts/players in it. Disappointing result for Cork's John O'Shea last night, losing 3-2... I didn't watch it, kinda assumed he'd win at odds of 1/3... that was the only Irish interest, unfortunately.
-
Two words...Dirty Harrysson!! 8)

Shouldn't get past Harms... I'll probably have me usual two tenners on the two Scotts, Waites and Mitchell... just wanna see them play first.
-
... or maybe my favourite trained chimp, Andy Hamilton - 50/1 with Skybet but my account is still suspended there, 33/1 elsewhere. I'll hold fire for now, anyway.

A girl from Darndale worked the Leperstown festival.
She said Willie Mullins was one hungry Cunt.
€7.95 for lunch, handed over €8.00 and waited for the change.
Same thing the following day, except he only had €7.90 in change.
The food till made €6.00 tips over three days.
One oul Cunt paid €500 for a bottle of Nolly and at the end of the day gave a €2 tip.

You hear all sorts from people about others in the course of a lifetime....heard that Ruby Walsh was a right uptight aul bollicks too until I met him in a jacks in Monasterevin (by accident, just in case). He mocked himself for the entire 30 secs he was urinating. Didn't they say the same about Tommy Cooper and Benny Hill?.......most of their money was spent on others in need it turned out?
-
Did you see him (Ruby) in the debate with McCririck back when he opposed Gambling and viewed bookmakers as the parasites they are? That was before he became the poster boy for parasite extraordinaire, Paddypower.com.
-
"Punters are paying bookmakers to make bookmakers rich" is what he said... among a lot else!

That's just business. David Beckham is a teetotaller yet he's the face of Haig Whisky's Xmas campaign......Elton John told everyone he wanted to kiss the bride etc...etc....Commerce.

I loved Harrysson's Shanghai 120 finish.
-
He still lost, albeit narrowly. Hamilton is cut to 33/1 now... might have a tenner on that.

Rubbish darts .listening to the commentator "Standard is very high they are hitting that 20 track regulary "not the treble twenty just hitting twenties with one dart .Big fat Freda from Leighton Buzzard and her sisters could do that years ago on Bullseye and win a Speedboat or a his and hers sheepskin Coat combination .

The big Russian woman's darting level has dropped for sure. Thought herself and Prins would never get off the stage with the low scoring. I'm now convinced big Sully threw that game against No Sheet Sherrock.
-
Did you see him (Ruby) in the debate with McCririck back when he opposed Gambling and viewed bookmakers as the parasites they are? That was before he became the poster boy for parasite extraordinaire, Paddypower.com.
Ruby was always Two-faced, he used to come to Cork every year fer the Cheltenham preview night, pick out his new suit from Saville in the afternoon, stay at a luxury hotel and get his Monkey appearance money all paid by the Bookie who was sponsoring the night and then slag off the bookies from the top table whilst telling the audience a load of lies about his upcoming rides at the festival.
Annie power despite hearing all the millions of theories about what happened, I have never managed to get my head around it.
-
Suffice to say someone made a few quid with Ruby
throwing himself off falling.
-
Fer me it is one of life's mysteries, Ruby seemed to have the horse in stride and took her to the front at the correct time and was straight on fer the final hurdle, he could have held her back or got in to trouble within the field but he didn't.
Realistically the figure won or lost on Annie Power was in the Billions if you take all the online betting in to account.
Why would he ride such a great race on the horse and then Pull her at the final hurdle ?
I reckon Ruby will take the truth to the grave with him !
-
Are yis for real lads?Horse racing is about as spontaneous as the WWE and much less entertaining.Completely fixed.Only a moron would bet unless you're getting good insider info.And I doubt anyone on here could afford to be in the company of good horse tippers.Get up the yard.
-
Everyone knows it's fixed. Just another form of punishment, or entertainment if you're a desperado. Another contract fools enter into where the odds are stacked against them like........matrimony.
-
Marriage is alright.It's the divorce that's expensive.Dont marry a cunt and you'll be fine.
-
Laughing....they don't start off as cunts, Merc. Wish my brother was looking in....twice he thought he met Mrs Right........
-
The warning signs are there if you know what to look for.Sorry about your brother.Few lads I know had kids on top of a rocky marriage and now they're extra miserable.Not fair on the brats.
-
I'm not sorry for him at all but thanks anyway. He's smart, believe it or not...he told me so.
-
He's probably just autistic or something Ll..that will be the norm in twenty years.
Anyone who tells you they're smart usually has other stuff that's weird about them.
-
Nah, he's not artistic but you're right about one thing....any man who thinks he's smarter than any woman is a total fool. You don't have to be a Harvey Weinstein to end up facing the chair in the family courts. I've seen men who slaughtered themselves working losing everything because of an unbalanced/unfair judicial system... Thank God and Allah, I've never gone for the vag when it came to sex.
-
I'm not sure how to respond but enjoy yerself...whatever floats your boat..Life is too short.
-
rofl You're getting very diplomatic.......strictly hetero all the same, Merc....just not into the danger zone as I'm terrified of women getting preggers.
-
Just get the oul snip....I'm going in soon...we could get a group discount.Although I've been deferring it cause eh.... I'm busy.
-
No thanks. You've a vested interest as you're married...I'm not. I'd insist on the woman getting a tubal ligation before my Vas goes for a hop. Works out best for all if I go deep throat or Tradesman's.
-
I dunno if this sweetens or sours the deal but the surgeon who performs all the snip operations in Ireland does a sideline gig performing heart operations.....seamless.
-
Just get your prostate, seminal vesicle and Cowpers gland removed...your sperm cells can't survive without the semen to feed them. Either that, or make sure you shoot your load every day....sperm cells take 3 days to form properly in men over 30...you can't impregnate her if you're constantly emptying the bag. Habits take yrs to change.....I'm sticking to short neck spouting.
-
Because I chose chemistry over biology my instinct is to try the two elastics on the ball bag method of contraception.If you see me pushing a triple buggy down the NCR you'll know ot was a bad idea.

And if I see her pushing a pram...you'll know my one wasn't bad after all.
-
Ha yeah maybe, Obviosly a third or fourth elastic is what's needed!
-
Looking forward to tomorrows tips from youse lads.
-
No need to wait Hal....
If it moves and it shouldn’t, use duct tape. If it doesn’t move and it should, use WD-40....Engineer's Bible.

I was doing alright a few years back with no insider info... all I had was an app that found the best prices on horses it thought had a better chance than the odds dictated. I was only foiled by most of the bookmakers closing my accounts... fucking parasites.
-
Taking advantage of their poor maths is a different story I suppose.Just betting because you got a tip off a bloke at the bar is lunacy.Genuine tips cost hundreds of euro from what I've been told.
If there was no jockeys maybe it would be more predictable and honest.But without someone whipping the poor bastards then you'd struggle to get the horses to complete a lap with enthusiasm...
-
To be fair, I've had a few tips from the lip over the years that have seen me right... and MMW got me a decent few quid one Chelenham back before posting a tip on here became a kiss of death!
-
I wish yis lots of winners but I'm too sceptical.
-
You're right to be sceptical. As my project of a few years back proved it's against the rules to win or, as Paddypower poster boy Ruby Walsh put it, punters bet to make bookmakers rich.
Wayned Warren playing the trained chimp now - live on Quest. Reminds me of his post match interview last year or the year before.. your woman asks if he pays any attention to averages and he responds, in his wonderful Welsh accent, do I bollox... before being reminded it was a live TV interview!
-
Charlie McCreevy was given the credit for saying it but some other real gambler said it....The only way to end up with a small fortune from gambling is to start off with a large fortune.
-
Tipster services work on a rotation basis...Rats, Liffey Lip and John M get horses 1, 2, 3 respectively in a 16 horse handicap. All are advised to back their horse ew...chances are one of them is placed. Rats, Liffey Lip and John M aren't aware that horses 4 to 16 inclusive are distributed equally amongst the premium payers for said tips. One of them is a certain winner....he tells 3 more mugs after he wins 2 from 4.....the exponential domino keeps falling...racket is right. Best policy of all is to stick to one nag you know is knocking on the door and keep backing the useless bastard until it wins.

Annie power despite hearing all the millions of theories about what happened, I have never managed to get my head around it.
There's no hookier sports than this but in my opinion the horse just fell as it took off a full stride too early.Way too dangerous to try anything like that,could have crippled/killed himself or the horse or both.Going full pelt into the flight like particularly as we knew Ruby was near the end of his career even back then.
There's way easier ways of cuntbaggery where stopping horses is concerned without something as perilous as that.
-
Ruby was a wreckless devious cunt liked to wait to take it up between the last two fences or hurdles trying to fool the handicapper .Was brought up to be a mucksavage low life scheming jockey like his oul man .I would bet he fell off more horses at the last fence than any other fence on the racecourse .I agree Annie Power just got it wrong if you wanted to stop her all you had to do was feed her plenty of Grass on raceday bloat her out no chance of injuring her .
-
Think he might've taken a few knocks in his time all the same....no spleen...........several bones shattered.........earning a pittance when compared to the likes of footballers at the top of their game whose lives aren't in danger. Don't think he's worried what a few fag smoking, semi-retarded dipsos outside bookies shops think of him, or what housewives blowing their last fiver do for that matter.
-
I wasn't referring to tipster services, LL... they're for mugs... I was referring to the odd tip from yourself and selections posted by MMW during one of our Cheltenham competitions.
-
I knew that- just conforming what Merc had said about being a sceptic etc...it really is a farce of a game, betting that is. And, before anyone gets all uppity about being described as a fag-smoking, semi-retarded dipso....that was just a generic description of most lads I see "outside" bookies.
-
If the cap fits...
-
Wesley Harms win? Had a day off from the dismal darts yesterday,,,,,I see Boris is about to introduce new legislation re-the interweb....Harms Law....just might back him if he won last night,
-
Waites beat him 4-2. Mitchell won 4-0... the two of them meet in the quarters tomorrow, should be a decent game.
-
Only one game this afternoon (williams -v- Hogarth) sandwiched between two womens games. Might get the rest of the grout out of the ensuite tiles before that!
-
Dire standard this yr with the background blocked to hide the lack of people. More atmosphere at a Mormon Wake.
-
Some pretty poor stuff alright... BDO ticket prices have always been way too high IMO but folk obviously liked Lakeside. Hamilton has gone way downhill considering he was in the Premier League a few years back despite being the most tedious player on the planet to watch.
-
90 lids per person, per day as opposed to 240 lids per table for the weekend at the PDC events....that's what I read somewhere. Regardless, the death knell has tolled for the BDO. London is one expensive kip to go out in or even to get a decent meal.
-
Minehead worked out at €210/head for the weekend last November... including flights, car hire, accommodation, tickets, entertainment, etc. No comparison. I think Citywest was €30-40 per ticket on 1/4 finals night.
-
That Belgian lad, the fan I mean, never misses a comp....looks great for 82...
-
Fair play to him... one of the commentators on Quest or Eurosport was saying you wouldn't want to get into a drinking competition with him either.. hollow legs is the phrase he used!
-
Not that hateful Geordie muppet, Nicholson? A total merchant banker.......
-
The suicidal "aussie"... I don't think it was.

Decent game this evening between the two Scotts, Mitchell winning 5-4.
Our own Keane Barry contests the Youth Final tomorrow (Sat) afternoon.
Seems the prize money has been cut again:

CHEQUE OUT Skint BDO chiefs slash World Darts Championship winning prize money from £100,000 to just £23,000 as problems mount
Rob Maul
9 Jan 2020, 15:59 Updated: 10 Jan 2020, 0:49
CASH-STRAPPED BDO chiefs are preparing to slash the Indigo champion’s prize money up to a whopping £77,000!
And this could open the door for a series of legal challenges from angry darts stars.
Glen Durrant, 49, earned £100,000 for lifting the BDO world darts trophy at Lakeside in January 2019.
However, several BDO players fear they will receive a minimum of just £23,000 for becoming the 2020 world champion on Sunday.
It is also believed the runner-up will get £10,000 – down by £25,000 from 12 months ago – and semi-finalists will pick up just £5,000.
SunSport has approached BDO chairman Des Jacklin for comment but these figures have been confirmed by a number of disillusioned stars.
Dean Winstanley, the 2011 BDO world finalist, wrote on Facebook that he had been told it would be £50,000 -- which is still a 50% reduction.
The women’s prize fund was supposed to be a world record £20,000 but it has been slashed to £8,000.
The BDO is struggling financially following poor tickets sales and rising TV production costs.
It is expected this will be the last world championship in its current guise.
A leading Dutch TV production company claims the BDO have not paid them for broadcasting the disastrous 2019 World Masters.
The 1:1 Producties company have started legal proceedings to reclaim more than £20,000 in unpaid money from the doomed BDO.
The Dutch firm organised the TV broadcast, presenters, make-up artists, sound directors and travel details for the event at Purfleet last October.
According to 1:1 Producties, Jacklin responded in writing to say he “hopes” to pay them after the Indigo World Darts championships.
Owner Erwin Beenhakker, who has worked in TV for 30 years, told SunSport: “This is unacceptable. This is a lot of money.
“The BDO are in financial difficulty. I’ve had clients in the past who were at a similar point but as long as you keep talking and be honest and open then I’m willing to find a way to help each other.
“I’m not abandoning the BDO but as long as Des Jacklin is chairman of the BDO I won’t do business with them again.”
The WDF withdrew its governing body support for the BDO after the chaotic World Masters, which involved a re-draw once the event had started.

Good win for Keane Barry... 3-0... best darts of the tournament so far! I wonder if he'll get his BFH.
-
Is a Keane Barry Cork rhyming slang for an urgent shite?
-
Women's final could be decent tonight. I'd rate Lisa Ashton and Mikuru Suzuki above Fallon Sherrock.

Barry Hearn is a parasite only ever championed by Don King.
Every sport Hearn touches and tries to get Gold in mass from turns to shite.
He had Snooker in the palm of his hand but his Greed outdone him.
He will do the same with Darts.

Looks like he has already

Lads in the darts final should decide who wins before they Bully off and have a bet .Guarenteed income for both .If you won that Title in a Raffle you probably wouldnt collect the Prize .The other Darts Organisation is the only one that counts .
-
Who'd take the bet? It's not unheard of for them to agree a split of prize money... Taylor and Priestly famously agreed to share their winnings for a period when the PDC (then WDC) was set up. At that time Priestly would have been thought to be the generous party to that agreement but (perhaps appropriately) he ended up being the beneficiary...but then BDO haven't said what, if any, prize money is in place tonight.

Things have improved greatly for the Housewives Championship £8000 available back in the 70s they would of needed their husbands skills and talents to get a decent score to win a good prize on Bullseye .

Winning a speedboat and living in Sean Mc Dermott tower was never a great arrangement.

Well considering last year the winner got €100K, and this year the prize pot total is €50K I’d be taking everything if I won.
-
Warren won it, becoming the oldest person to win it and he won Fuk all, and I wouldn’t be sharing that with any other player
-
Did they say how much he got?
-
£2/4.9d
-
Source?
-
Scotty Dog off to Q School and many more I suspect. They'll all struggle in the short-term with the standard.
-
Forgot to source it...apologies. Think Scott has a few beers on him but he's perfectly coherent. Dave Evans has a few choice word to say about the BDO too on another video....both very clam and calculated.

A bit tired and emotional alright. Is he good enough to get through Q school? Waites didn't manage it last year. It is a shame that the BDO is in such a mess, they have good players (I'd watch Waites and Mitchell any day) who probably prefer to be semi-pro or amateur. Williams might be a better prospect for the PDC, his darts just look so messy when they hit the board and he rushes and jabs and stabs, basically a great example to any kid of how you shouldn't throw... a bit of refinement and he could be another great Welsh player... as if the world needs more great Welsh players!

Leighton Rees, what an athlete.

Didn't know Waites tried. Surprised he didn't make it as he's normally very composed. Durrant barely qualified too if I remember correctly, his opponent having 3 missed attempts at a double to send him home. Williams would make it with his relative youth etc....think Scotty is a farmer so he'd be hard-pressed to travel the world in a Samsonite while the wife does the dirty job at home. The format is confusing they say........have never been that much interested but Price managed to come through it from nowhere so Williams should be capable...he needs to toughen up a bit though...seems rather timid at times. Think Mitvhell was just lashing out at the organisers in his own way...the BDO appointed the wrong man to take charge it seems.
-
Yeah Waites tried last year but (at least gave the impression that) it was a half hearted attempt, just because it was allowed for the first time... said he hadn't decided how or even if he'd use his tour card if he had got one... they've got a few women to compete with this year too, Mikuru, Fallon and Lisa Ashton are all having a go I think.
-
There are some benefits to trying and failing, BTW. The brother was trying to explain it to me when I was full in Minehead so I only really got the gist rather than specifics. As I understand it you pay 4 ton odd and that includes PDPA membership which, in turn, entitles you to play in development tour events, restricted UK Open qualifiers and you could get to make up the numbers in some other tournaments as well.

Bobby "diamond geezer" George was giving out about that, sort of, in his own way. He made reference to women being under more pressure to tour with them "Avin' to look arftur kiddies and the 'Usband". He got away with it because of his recent health issues and Wayne Mardle covering in the background. Sometimes, I think certain men are oblivious to what's going on around them.
Might be the wrong video but I watched it recently.......out there somewhere.

The worlds gone mad with all this PC nonsense. Sure you can't even say paint the fence black.. you have to say please paint the fence, Jamal.

When you see Nicholson toned down and all p.r. etc, and going back to Q School...... you know it's game over. As one of his most ardent Geordie fans said about him, "Man was a leg-end on the oche....noo he's just a bell-end on the oche"
-
Indeed. I don't get all his "we this" "we that" when he's commentating. He'd struggle to win a leg down me local FFS, with the darts!

Seigniorage....the art of making money.

Forgot Barry Hearn's innate ability to make it....my mistake....told you earlier diagnosed with Early Onset Dementia.....2 yrs left before I end up drooling and talking through a mediator.

Must be more to the "arrest warrant" than reported, I guess.

No joy for Jim Williams, Scott Mitchell or young Keane Barry at Q School, Barry losing to Scott Waites in a tour card decider. Wesley Harms and Andy Hamilton are among the qualifiers with Lisa Ashton just about scraping in to make history as the first woman to get through Q School. Cork's Ciaran Teehan got his tour card as a development tour qualifier, might shake up the competition among Irish players as the season progresses.

"Who cares, Habibi, they're gorgeous" became a come-on line for a whole generation, the first Irish TV slogan to catch the popular ear. The product was biscuits.
