    Ahhh tennis isn't something I'm big on, but as the world cup has been disappointing, it will be a refreshing alternative.

    Ivo Karlovic......always think he's hard to beat on grass, but will look tomorrow morning.

    After withdrawing 90% of my br and then losing £250 friday night, I had £200 at start of play today.

    Had £200 spread across 2 tables half hour ago, and £22 behind, so when I saw Tiger was 10/3 to win the US Open tonight, I couldn't resist.

    So £22 at 10/3 on Tiger.

    Love that the leaders nowhere near tee-ing off yet, great nights TV in strore, so a betting interest is kool.

    Just hope I dnt blow the rest and have to deposit for first time since I joined sky! noooooooooo

    Karlovic isnt playing mate, well i asusme he isnt theres no betting on him, but yeah his serve was pretty awesome.

    If i was to pick a few players at big prices id go for

    Berdych 50/1
    Davydenko 200/1
    Baghdatis 229/1
    Wawrinka 329/1
    Blke 500/1

    But they are witohut looknig at the draw so may face feder or nadal in round 2 hence the big prices.

    Wont be staying up to watch the golf,will watch it till around 11.30 good luck with ur bet

    Those prices are weird! and look big value!!

    I logged my tables off, and had £207.....

    I plucked up the courage, to load skybet up, convinced I was gonna put the lot on tiger!!! I honestly wanted to do it so bad.

    Ended up having the odd £7 again at 10/3 !!! lol

    Also £1 on Havret at 66/1

    Is it good or bad that I wanna gamble sooooo much but just darent.

    Bit of both I spose?

    you probably want to gamble because your account looks empty after withdrawing most of you roll, after seeing a putt tiger just had i wudnt put any more on him mate.

    Theres a lot of value in the mens tennis, after the first 4 or 5 they are all big prices, just gotta get federer and nadal beat thats all

    Unlucky with your bet dohhh when i saw the winning score was +1 couldtn beleive it wasnt woods, if he played half decent yesterday he would have won it.

    Anyway had two £50 accas today, i do love the first week of wimbledon and fully expect both to come in, the only thing that mgiht stop me is an injury forcing a retirement.

    Mens Acca

    Lopez 2/9
    Ljubicic 1/6
    Davydenko 2/5
    Melzer 1/5
    Troicki 1/4
    Fish 1/5
    Beck 1/4
    Wawrinka 8/15
    Becker 2/9

    Pays 8.39/1 with bluesquare

    Womens Acca

    Bartoli 1/6
    Kirilenko 2/5
    Petrova 1/8
    Kleybanova 1/5
    Shvedova 7/19
    Schiavone 5/11

    So ur on for a grand if all of those win Gareth??

    wow. How tempting.

    Finished the night with £160 - Even had Havret, a quid on at 66/1 to cover Tiger, he missed a sitter at the last, if that goes in theres an 18 hole play off to look forward to tonight....

    What wud the price be if u put all those games, men and women, in 1 bet? - Im gonna do that I think, wanna keep 3 buy ins to try and make a comeback on the tables, really dont wanna re-deposit..

    well those odds are from to seperate bookies so wudnt get quite so good, but still im sure it will be quite tasty, but then any acca with 18 selections should be tasty.

    Going back to the racing the favourite should win the openinbg race at both lingifield and wolverhampton today and the double currently pays 3/1 on skybet, gunna have £20 on it

    Im having a double tonight at Windsor Dance East in the 8.10 and Montparnasse in the 21.10 race. The last named horse has had 3 runs for a handicap mark and looks like the longer distance will suit.

    Nice one JJ. I often sit and watch the racing while playing poker, I dont always have a bet but make notes on anything that runs well or should improve when it has a handicap mark.

    with argentina through cant see them playing messi or higuian so milito and aguero(who look on fire when he came on against korea) will probably both start avaliable at 5/1 first goal scorer and 11/8 to score anytime
    im going for both to score first and if i can find 11/8 elswhere having a double on them both (sky wont let me do it)
    also for a bit of value there both 14/1 to score in the first ten minutes which might be worth a small bet.

    Early start on the pop today.

    Fired skybet up with the intention on having my whole account (190) on england at 1/2

    But it was only 4/9 so put me off! haha

    Gone on the handicap bet - england minus 1, a more conservative £20 at 5/4

    But still an hour, and a couple of tins to kick off anything can happen

    edit....its 2 hours!! oops

    I fancy a small bet on Incendo tonight in the 20.50 at Kempton, Its no good thing as the Fav is a decent horse and Im probably covering my bet with the forcast. I wont be taking a price as 10/3 is a bit to short in my opinion.
    Good luck with the footy Bet JJ i cant have anything on England at any price even though id loved to see them win.

    We're off to Chester races tonight. Any of you experts got any tips? I haven't got a clue where horses are concerned so any ''good'' tips will be helpful.

    Gonna spend the next hour looking at the papers to see if I can find anything worthwhile.

    2 months ago id have been confident of giving you a couple of great tips elsa, way things have goen recently id be good at giving you the horses that finish last, to say ive had a bad run is a massive undersatement.  I had a tenner left in my account yesterday had beneon tilt so decided to throw it on the next favourite.  The race was the 6.40 at Leicester The favourite with 8 minutes to go was Nomoreblondes @ 10/3 the skybet wrtie up reccomended it as well great I thought, by the tiem the race started it was priced 13/2 never seen a horse go out so quickly in 8 minutes (i bet with sky bet it may have bene bigger else where at the time).  I knew staright away it had no chance and sure enough it it was a donkey, at least the eventual favourite didnt win i suppose.

    Anyway for what its worth heres what id be betting if i was lucky enough to be gonig chester tonight,

    18.40 - Apazine 3/1f
    7.15 - Rasselas 4/1jf
    7.45 - Desert Kiss 11/4 2ndf
    8.20 - Rio Cobolo 10/1
    8.50 - Princess lexi 4/1f
    9.20 - Elusive fame 10/1

    Good Luck with what ever you choose

    Thanks for those m8. I looked at the newspaper for 40 mins and was no wiser. I'm putting a quid on them all plus I'll have a dabble on what I fancy when I see them in the flesh. This is a freebie so it's not costing anything, plus two nice tourney results last night mean I can splash out a bit and feel no pain.

    Thanks again. A technical question: As I'll be judging these in the flesh, as it were, what is more important when wieghing the horses up? A nice tail or a nice mane, or should I just go off the best dressed jockey?

    We did good m8. We stuck a £2 on them all but went mad and stuck a tenner on (your pick) Desert Kiss which came in at 5/2. Mrs Woof was on sparkling form with Opus Maximus and Layla's Lexi, both at 7/1. She had them both e/w so got a nice return.

    We had a great night with drinks and an Indian afterwards, all for £18.
