Given that there is nothing to bet on, it's nearly time to forget how much poker has advanced in recent years (beyond my talent for it) and boot up Poker Stars.

Lets hope it's 2002 reloaded and half the table is limp-calling and folding to every single three-bet.

If you can't play poker - and I do stress, if you CAN'T play - please do this same. Invite your daftest friends too. :)
Yep, I did the same recently. Pokerstars have lost all the U.S players due to black friday (Full Tilt Poker). It has re established itself as the go to place for small stakes tournaments, good guarantees, and satellites into the bigger competitions, for Non-US citizens.

The WSOP this year in Las Vegas will probably be cancelled, so the online platforms should try and do extra stuff with an available audience.
Sky Poker has very weak games, but not very many of them.
Have heard that too. I believe anyone can bink a tournament, so I like the idea of a nice win with the bigger fields.

The videos explain it better. Its explains/shows better than I could explain it. I used it okay on the betfair exchanges during each hand when odds were 2.0+ for the player/bank bias.

The spready needs to be set near to the exchange/live screen, and practice inputting the cards as they come out, quite easy after a while.
Excellent thank you. If racing gets cancelled this weekend I may just relive my youth, dust off Oscars Grind and hit the baccarat tables. I might even get some cheap beer and eat Domino's in my boxers at 2am too, ah youth :lol:

OR... the exchange could invest (overnight :D) in AI sports simulations of the events that are cancelled, purely to allow us to continue unaffected, jeez!! - lol

This could be a winner, love to see the likes of Harry Skelton button bashing an Xbox controller like old school Track and Field trying to get a computerised horse over a ditch.

Updated odds of catching COVID-19:

Mar 1-in-4600
Apr 1-in-140
May 1-in-5
Jun 1-in-2
Jul 1-in-12
Aug 1-in-150

Assumes continue current trajectory, without radical interventions.

Hopefully, this gives context to Govt comments about timing interventions right.

Of course, the odds drift as you run out of people to infect.

Surprised Betfair hasn't opened a market on this yet.

Without giving names away just had an interesting conversation with someone at the very top of the English Premmier League.

"We are 99% sure the season is now over, the table is now frozen and the positions will remain as they are"

Meaning:

Bournemouth, Aston Villa and Norwich are relagated.

As the current form team I think it only fair that Sheff Utd are awarded the FA Cup ;)

:shock:

If that's the case Leeds/WBA would be promoted alongside Fulham in 3rd. (probably the outcome anyway)

VERY interesting. But is this like when my girlfriend is 99% sure she packed my swimming shorts when going on holiday and I ended up having to buy a pair of ill-fitting speedos in Bermuda or is this 99% sure enough to put serious money down?
