With 90 minutes on the clock in last nights game CCFC vs Newcastle, I decided to risk a £1 by laying Newcastle @ 1.01 on Betfair, next thing the Sky Blues get a throw-in, Gunarsson launches it into the box and Super Scott Dann heads home the equaliser. A nice easy £100 goes into my sky rocket.

I text my cousin to tell him, he then replies that he had £2 on Scott Dann @ 40/1 to score the last goal, the only thing was he missed celebrating it because he decided to leave early and get a taxi home, the 1st he knew was when he got in to see extra time bing played.

Nice one Will. Martin mentioned your bet last night.

For those of you that don't bet or use Betfair 1.01 (or 1/100) is the lowest price that you can bet on the exchange. The price is offered usually on in running markets where the result is almost a foregone conclusion. Say for example a golfer leads by four playing the last hole or a driver leads by 12 seconds on the final lap of a Grand Prix. Yes it's all over. Or is it?
But as we saw last night and see on a daily basis in one sport or another these 1/100 shots do get turned over.

As I explained to Martin I do not know what the stats are but for every one that does get turned over there is probably 500 that win. On that game there was over £30,000 bet on Newcastle at the 1.01. Imagine the horror though if you are trying to play the system and you take a hit like that early. There is no such thing as a certainty.

I layed Usain Bolt for £200 to break the world 100m record at 1.01 a couple of weeks ago. But this wasn't during the final when he was streaking clear. No it was after the semi final when he ran 9.8 something whilst licking an ice cream and asking the other competitors to put up a deckchair for him! Someone had quite literally wiped out all of the money in the back column. Five minutes later I was able to back Bolt at 1.71 (roughly 8/11) when other punters offered a more realistic price. I think this was a case of someone getting a bit too excited and the itchy finger proved quite costly. Okay they won but not nearly as much as they should have!

As Brain Clough once said it only takes a second to score a goal. And I think it was fellow manager David Pleat that said it only takes a score to find a hole!!!!!

Another 1.01 got turned over last Thursday.

Mick the Stick had two shots to beat Tony Fry. One ball over the bag and on the bottom cush with the black out in the open.
But Mick went in off in the middle bag after potting the ball over the hole and trying to come down for his last ball.
Then Tony went to 1.01 as the cue ball made it's way to the collection area.

Adams wouldnt be a 1-01 shot ever. He is too much of a loose cannon to back him with any confidence. The proof is in the dinner with him blowing it against Tony Fry when it was there for him to clear up with 2 shots. How can any half-decent pool player not clear a table when he has a ball over the pocket, one near the cush and a black in the open with 2 shots? I suspect the Adams ego self-combusted and he was taking what should have been a simple clearance for granted. This could so easily be avoided if only Mick would take my advice. I am open to teaching Mick how to play but I suspect it is more a mental issue than an ability issue anyway. He needs to calm down and only get excited after the win. A better analogy would be likening him to a person who prematurely ejaculates, he knows he should control it and enjoy the moment longer but he can't, so what should have been a great result ends up being another total let down. A man who doesn't learn from his past mistakes is destined to repeat them Mick, please listen to good advice.

lololol.

was his fav subject at school PE?

1.01 Gaz Potts plays Roger Charles in the latest tour event on Saturday morning.

I think Roger will wish he was playing at Hinckley.
