Monkey Business

[Macca 16,173]

I've got my NBA tip worked out ... either a Sunday AEDT game or a Monday AEDT game.   Might wait until you fellas ( @Wadda We Sing  @Dee Zephyr ) have posted up your 'bests'.  Or @binman  if you are interested in chiming in.

n.b.  the exotic odds for NBA games are often not available until the early evening (AEDT) for games played on the following morning/afternoon (again,  AEDT)  My 'best' will almost certainly be a 'wire-to-wire' result.

My selection still isn't available Wadda so I'll leave it up to you (and others) to throw in a substitute as you see fit (if it doesn't appear soon) 

That's the trouble with the American sports ... certain games are sometimes not available.

Looks a no-brainer Wadda, doesn't it ?

Saturday overnight I've been having a couple of multi's based on the English Championship,  League 1 & League 2 ... just 3picks but there is some very good value to be had in those leagues.  Anywhere from 15-1 up to 50-1 based on the Win/+2.5 match goals rule-of-thumb.

Spurs/Gunners tonight (11pm on SBS) could provide a few goals as well although either team can win.

I reckon both teams are overs on the Win/+2.5 ... Juve are 5.50 so I have done the 'saver' multi with Liverpool & Atletico.  The combined odds are just too tempting Wadda even though I do like your Napoli selection.  I also like @Dee Zephyr 's selection with Atletico ... good value all round really.

The same theory has been working for me on the horses with the saver option.  It's really only feasible if both odds are deemed as overs.  There will be goals in this match you'd reckon.

Meanwhile,  our Demons have had a good hit-out in oppressive conditions.  We've got a number of good players missing but we've taken it right up to the Tiges.

Well at least your selection got up Wadda ... Rugby League kicks off this week and the SuperRugby is in full swing now so we've got a wider choice apart from Soccer.  And then the footy starts the following weekend.

I will briefly document my experiences with Ladbrokes yesterday. Even just so i can remember it.

It was 10 mins before the All Star Mile yesterday. I attempted to place a 4 leg Multi with the first leg being Mystic Journey in that race. The three subsequent legs were Fifty Stars and two others win place. I placed the bet on my computer which was accepted, confirmed and done. I thought nothing more of it until 5 mins before the race i noticed my balance had remained the same. So i went to check the bet, and it was not in my pending bets list. I then (slightly panicking) attempted to place the bet again, half thinking maybe its in the system but there is some sort of lag? I repeated the exercise and the same thing happened. The bet was accepted and the balance remained the same and the multi was not listed. It was now 1 min before the jump, i thought about calling but thought no i will quickly do it again, thinking it must be in the system, i just cant see it.

Again i placed the bet and again the balance didnt change and the bet was not listed. Thinking now that i most likely had 3 multis exactly the same on i thought well lets see as it was a win bet. It of course won. So then i started the long process of trying to explain to Ladbrokes and find the right person to talk to. 3 times i tried and was passed from section to section with the call dropping out each time i was transferred. (you know how infuriating that is). I finally got told there was no record of the bets and that there was nothing they could do.

Then Fifty Stars won its race (which i missed) but was aware of the result. So not one to give up easily and feeling confident i had an argument, i rang through again. Finally got through to a woman higher up the chain who said she would get to the bottom of it and had their tech team look into it. I was discovered that the price of Mystic Journey was wildly fluctuating for 10 mins before the race. What was happening was because it was a multi it was taking slightly longer to process and thus there were price changes whilst the bet was being calculated. Therefore even though the bet was (accepted) it was not processed. I pointed out there was no alert system for this and they agreed. They then offered me a $50 dollar bonus bet which i accepted as there were still 2 legs of the multi to run. The next leg was Binmans best Mastering Race 9 which ran 3rd and it was a win bet.

So the multi didnt come off anyway and it was a small amount so it would have paid only 120 or so. However i still got a payout.

Happy ending.
