My mrs is a genius -wish she was a trader ..I'd be rich :lol: ..she picked one of these drugs as a candidate a month back..but that's another story:
Check out the video in the link below about the drugs (seen some mention of them before but not as specific as this) but maybe you full time bods can donate ;)..there is hope.... maybe? That would be good.

I love how they're going on how racing (Kelso today) will be so different now its behind closed doors - they're last 3 meetings had attendances of 1370, 1209, 1365 so I bet most trainers etc and people at home will know no difference

At least there will be no "court-siders" to take on In-play....

I don't think the actual racing benefits much from the fans, not like football, rugby, cricket etc.

Flutter Entertainment/PaddyPower say they could take a hit of as much as £110m due to cancellation of sports

as mentioned (half in jest) a few days back. Betfair need to invest in some sports AI (as opposed to virtual sports) so that cancelled events can be played out for the benefit of Exchange dwellers who have no interest in the final outcome per-se. These AI events would of course not have any real outcome in the real worls (as a result) but would keep the cashflow moving across the Exchange. AI of this magnitude (if done correctly) would probably be > 60% correct if played alongside the REAL event I reckon...

ok, tongue firmly back from cheek :D :mrgreen:

Have heard that too. I believe anyone can bink a tournament, so I like the idea of a nice win with the bigger fields.
So, I've just now won an $11 Satellite into next weeks Sunday Millions, which is an especially big one because it's the 14th anniversary. All I need to do now is to work out how to play and if I can fold my way into a min cash!
Well done! You've got the value. I've pencilled it in, will try some satellites next week as well.

That's a biggy for sure. ($12.5 million guaranteed) Normal entry @ $215

Remember it's a 3 day event.

I didn't know that, so thanks very much. I'll be happy if I get past day 1!

I'm obviously not really going to do that. I'm really rusty though so my hopes aren't great.
