    I have to say I'm not a fan in advance of having the Cheltenham preview eating into poker time, but we'll see how it goes.

    Anyway, in Golden Miller-relaed news, I hope the fantastic mare Quevaga gets a mention. She will be bidding to equal The Miller's record of winning the same race at the Festival five times in a row (in her case the Mares' Hurdle on the opening day)

    In Response to Re: Tonight's Turbo Tuesday Show - slight change of plan. : Fair comment Mr Borin, but at best, even if tonight's trial proves successful or popular, & we do it for other Sporting Events, it will take up around 1% of our Live Output. Seems a bit extreme to change the Show name for such a mini-diversion. Other thread feedback seems to take the complete opposite view. Horses - whoops - for courses & all that. There will be quite a lot of fresh & different stuff coming up, almost all of it poker-related. My Nan used to say "a little of what is no good for you does you good".   To this day, I still don't know what she meant, but Nan's are never wrong, eh? A "bit silly". Nailed me on that one. ;)

    On that, Mr Borin, we are in full agreement.

    Anyway, it's an hour of TV time, & in the grand scheme of things, not something that will kill or cure anyone, or anything.   

    Enjoy your evening, & if you are a United fan, hope the game goes well.

    Yup. In modern business parlance, this is called "cross-sell", where followers of one particular sport or past-time are introduced to other stuff, & vice-versa

    In Response to Re: Tonight's Turbo Tuesday Show - slight change of plan. : Fancy for The Masters, what like one pick? Well now that you ask, I am feeling rather smug about my ante post bet on Brandt Snedeker at 66/1. As long as his sore ribs don't turn out to be something more sinister, I'm at least happy that I have found a 'value bet'. My other ante post bet is Dustin Johnson at 40/1, which for a while was also looking like great value. How about you Tikay?
    Posted by TheDart
    Ha! Well as I'm sure you well know, when betting Golf, the variance is huge, & so are the prices, 40/1 winners are commonplace, so we generally pick a little basket of players.

    At present, by a spooky coincidence, the only bet I have so far is also on Snedeker, though I got a far worse price than you. My price is still ahead of the Market though, & that is all that matters - value. I will look at widening the portfolio shortly, but if I can get the right prices (which is crucial) I'd like a nibble at Noh, Colsaerts, & Kuchar. Don't underestimate Mr Mcillroy either, if his price drifts much further.

    I tell you what else is a little spooky, I was trying to explain to somebody yesterday about what I believe to be the key to finding a little success in the golfing markets and the keywords I emphasised were portfolio and value!

    I like your shortlist, for future nibbles, I like Nick Watney at current prices if he shows some decent form over the next few days / weeks.

    As for Rory, who'd have thought you could get 25/1 on him for the WGC this week!

    I can shoot 120 one day and quite easily 105 the next, so if I can shave off 15 shots in a day, I'm sure Rory can improve by 15 shots from last week ;)

    Seriously though, we all know class is permanent and it surely can't be long (even this week) before everything clicks back into place for young Rory.

    In Response to Re: Tonight's Turbo Tuesday Show - slight change of plan. : *sigh* Hoping it's not well received, then. I like poker on Sky Poker. Tennis, 'orses and golf not so much. They have their own shows and what not. It does beg the question of whether the poker side of Sky B&G is struggling... Or is the idea of this to encourage poker players to have a bit more of a gamble on sports betting? Obviously all poker players are degen gamblers, so why not, eh? (I'm just playing devil's advocate really. I'll find something else to do between 8-9 so it's no bother to me)

    I've heard there is some sort of football match going on then.  May be worth your while checking it out.  Not sure if the teams are any good though.  I used to be able to see their names somewhere but its dissappeared overnight somewhere.

    Yes :)

    Does Michael think that anything can beat Sprinter Sacre in the Queen Mother Champion Chase?

    Can Tikay confirm that the winners of all the festival freerolls get free entry into SPT London as a special well done from Sky?

    Have a great show and run well everyone

    I normally watch every show on 861. Tonight I will give it a miss after the first hour as I have no interest in racing.......



    .....unless I make the FT of the ME, in which case I will switch back at 10 o'clock.

    Get well soon Mr Orford! First show missed since Sky started! must be serious!
    I love the Cheltenham festival its the most exciting festival of the year rivalled only by Royal Ascot and Aintree!

    My question is

    Do the team think Steeple Chasing is becoming more high profile with the likes of AP Obrien, Dermot Weld and Mark Johnson entering horses at the festival?
    Or do you think those top Flat Trainers think they can pick up easy money in the Champion Bumper?

    My fancy for the Champion hurdle is Grandouet and although I'd love to see Sprinter Sacre win in style I believe this race will be the shock of the festival!
    Do you think the prices will be better now or on the day?

    Looking forward to some great Tv

     my mum and stepdad have been going for about 15 years and stay at same small hotel just near the racetrack..

    and they always win except for the time the horse they chose was winning until a pheasant flew into the horse.....1st to last in an instant.

    on the poker front well done to rivermunky for winning the 10k primo on sunday and for me getting into spt london for £2.35

    hi jules and tikay, more on this caption, the trainer was basil briscoe, who trained golden miller to win 4 gold cups and a grand national under his care, but he fell out with the joint owner after the horse tried to refuse at a fence and threw his jockey off when running in the 1935 grand national, basil briscoe was never same man after this ordeal.  he also part owned a 100/1 winner called elton to win the 1935 cambridgeshire, in which won him £10,000 meaning he then could afford to get married.

    have a great show. ms-tree
