Shot. Did you have best odds?

Love it when that happens. I once backed two horses as singles and had a double on the pair, first one won and I got on the other one at 6's on the morning but it went off at 20/1. It got beat by a short head but I was on for about three grand.

Rubbish results for me on the football, 3 bets on the Madrid game..3 down

Backed Michelle to go in strictly at 15/8 ( yea its strict;ly) but specials are good for betting on..easy to find value, the books know as little/much as you and i :)

i'm debating laying off Scott Maslen in the outright..backed him twice at 8/1 and once at 5/1 now just under 2\1 - the times I lay off it wins and I lose profit and when  I don't i just lose it seems lol

Anyone use StanJames?..there's a good bet on the NBA..they took it down 2years ago..but somehow it's back again (new traders, or old trader just forgot ) the prices are wrong..,and if you pick the right games you get a massive advantage

Hills are offering 14/1 on Zenyatta, Midday and Goldi all to win on Saturday night - a tempter!

Was considering a double on Midday and Goldi cos I don't like horses that the Americans big up. Half the time they come over here and struggle to get the better of something that's taken ten minutes off from Blackpool beach.

The Americans have been disputing the state of the ground in the wake of SMS stating that if its too firm they wont run either Midday or Workforce. What the Americans know about the going you could write on the back of a stamp - if its not concrete its 'soft'.

Cards for the Breeders Cup if anyone's interested.

I've got Man City tonight to win £65 after Marsailles, Chelsea and Bayern won last night.

I had a cheeky tenner double on Goldi and Zenyatta last night to win about £90. All going so well after Goldikova proved why she's the best mare in the world, then this happened to the greatest American racehorse since Seatle Slew after she was unfortunately seemingly paired with Frank Spencer:

    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
