It will be Satellite City today, & I believe it will be possible to get into the High Rollery thing for as little as £2.75, which is about the same price as a night at the Cinema for the family, but you don't have to watch a tosh film.
I'll Post the Satellite Schedule as soon as it becomes available, which should be at around 11am, just after Mrs Dales Diary finishes on the Home Service.
Films, Movies, call them what you will, are not really my thing. Think I've maybe watched less than 20 in my life.
The Satellite to tonight's UKOPS 5 are now in the Lobby.
Prices range from £2.75 to £57, & there are over 30 of them in the Lobby already.
To best locate them, go to.....
Tourney Lobby....
Then click EITHER "UKOPS" or "SATELLITES" tab.
Then click "TOURNAMENT" to sort them into alpha order.
If you prefer them to be sorted in time order, just click "STATUS".
There will be more Satellites in the Lobby in due course, too.
All aboard the UKOPS Express.
There is a £2.75 UKOPS 5 High Roller thing starting at 11.30 (Late Reg until 11.39) which feeds 1 in 5 into the 4pm Quarter Final.
Only 11 in so far, but you still have 9 minutes to register.....
You gotta start somewhere.....
Crikey, 20 runners now, that's 4 guaranteed a seat in the 4pm Quarter Final.
Roll up, roll up.....
23.....
26 now.
There is an exact repeat of this at Noon. Only one runner in that so far.
It made 26 runners in the end, so 5 will get a Quarter-final seat.
This Satellite - exactly as above - repeats at.....
Noon
12.30pm
1.00pm
1.15pm
1.30pm
2.00pm
2.30pm
2.45pm
3.00pm
STOP PRESS!
They have just added a £2.90 "All-In" Jobbie, 4.30pm today, 1 seat guaranteed straight into the £530 High Roller.
9 runners already. This is CAPPED at 200.
There will be at least two more of those £2.90 All-In affairs, at....
7.25pm (right after "The Archers" finishes)
7.55pm (just before "Crossroads" starts)
No, just to the High Roller, & the Sidey at present.
I gather there MAY be some "all-in Sats" to the Mini shortly before it starts. Keep an eye on the Lobby early evening, & especially from 7.30pm.
Cheers
The £2.75 Micro-Sat to the High Roller got 29 runners, so 5 Seats to the 4pm Quarter Final.
The next £2.75 thingie is at 1pm, in 10 minutes, with 9 minutes of Late Reg to follow.
Just the 3 entries to that one so far......
The fields are slowly building for the biggest UKOPS night of this series so far.
If you fancy a cheap shot at playing tonight's £530 HIGH ROLLER, there is a £2.70 "All-In Sat" (capped at 200 runners) at 7.15pm. Currently has 80 runners, so room for more yet.
7pm UPDATE.
MAIN - 24 runners
MINI - 47 runners
SIDEY - 25 runners
Around £14,210 of entries there, & tonight's UKOPS Guarantees total £40,000
Well done you.
Now just enjoy it.
Good luck.
There is a Semi-Final close to the Bubble now - 12 left, 17 seats to be won, so that give the numbers a boost.
There is also a "Late Reg" Semi at 7.30pm, one in 10, (Late Reg for 30 mins) which has 57 runners already. I'm assuming this will not complete until AFTER the High Roller commences, but well within the Late Reg period.
The 8.15 UKOPS 5 MINI only has 59 runners so far (needs 250). Every chance of that one missing it's Guarantee, unless registrations pick up sharpish, though if it begins with a big Overlay, the bargain hunters will register late for the value. I hope.....
7.30pm UPDATE.
MAIN - 35 runners
MINI - 73 runners
SIDEY - 37 runners
Around £20,810 of entries there, so just over halfway towards tonight's UKOPS Guarantees totalling £40,000
8pm UPDATE.
MAIN - 41 runners
MINI - 134 runners
SIDEY - 58 runners
So that's around 65% of the Guarantees covered so far.
