Slashing their guarantees doesn't make them anywhere near as bad as the joke of a network named iPoker.

Any link for this?

I wrote a little piece about Páidí for LiveGaelic if anyone's interested. It's not much because tbh even writing it yesterday I was raw as fuck, still don't really know what to say.

fml 57th in The Hot $2.20 (4221 entries) for a whole $15

[Guest]

People talk about ipoker being a joke etc, but Ongame have been taking the piss with their guarantees lately, and in the last week have slashed them even further. Off the top of my head, even for the 1st hour i normally play these have been slashed

$54 - $6k @ 6.30pm now a $4k
$5r - $10k @ 7pm now a $7.5k
$108 - $12k @ 7pm now a $7.5k
$11r - $16k @ 7.20pm went from 16k to 12k to 10k now $7.5k
$33 - $3k @ 7.30pm now a $1.5k

and lots more

My 3 fave late games hit hard too

$22 - $4k @ 11pm went from 4k to 3k and now 2k
$54 - $4k @ 11pm went from 4k to 2.5k to 2k
$5r - $16k @11.30pm went from $12k to 8k to 4k

All the $5r games with 5 x $200 seats gtd are now all 3 seats gtd, and these are the only games that were failing to reach the guarantee of all the above. Think they're preparing themselves for a Christmas fallout and the fact that BWIN have moved from Ongame to Party probably had a huge bearing on it. Doesn't help me tho!

Steve Staunton is hurriedly printing off a copy of his CV and looking for that pack of international stamps in the drawer beside the sink.

[Strewelpeter]

Indeed , I'm hoping its just a precautionary weather entry as its his only entry in the Grade 1 on Thu, given the trainers MO he will continue to aim for the top until proven otherwise. For most people it would be an opportunity that would be hard to avoid, I suppose it will come down to the owners attitude.

First crimbo present dillema of the year, ordered the NFL mad brother a 49'ers pint glass and other bits and bobs..just got word from the mother that the glass is smashed to pieces. Returning it and getting the replacement will take about 3 weeks according to the customer service dude i just spoke to.

Any NFL fans on here know of any shops in dublin i could pick something up as obviously ordering online is a bit ambitious.

Mighty BBV need some help!!!

Secret Santa problems! Have one of the lads in work, he is about 30, dont know anything about him and need to get him a secret santa present for 10-15 euro!

Any generic gift ideas for males of this age?

cheers

Prob too late but a nice 12 pack of Heineken for 14E wouldnt be sneezed at by most guys. Had similar situation in My work secret santa this year and the Tins went down a treat. Better than getting some stupid calendar

Irish Times article about our multi-ethnic U15s football team.

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/...327997546.html

My housemate tells me Steven Kinsella is the big star for that side and that no-one in top level youth football is really batting their eyelids at the ever more diverse nature of the elite playing base.

That was really well-written, congrats! Much better than what some high-profile sports journalists can manage.

Was in Paudi's bar in Ventry last August for a BBQ the day after a cousin's wedding in Dingle, he seemed in fine form. Had a very brief chat with him about the Cork-Kildare quarter final on TV at the time, very very brief as speaking at any length would just give an ordinary Joe Soap such as myself more time and more rope to hang myself with as a result of lack of insight, and I try to avoid looking like a fool! So sad to think life can end so suddenly at a relatively young age - you can't help but think of your loved ones of the same age (or older) when things like that happen.

"An Irish horse priced greater than 66/1 hasn't won a race in Ireland over the last six years." well, that's what my cleaned up dataset says. Can that possibly be right?

Gimmieabreak is always keen to explain why this is despite there being many that would have been bigger prices on the tote and exchanges.

Something to do with poor bookies, I can never remember the exact details

That 2+2 WSOP trip report guy is an ok writer but he sure stinks at poker.
Is he writing a fantasy novel or did he really fold AA on an unopened button in a Sat when a long way short of folding into a seat
Some of the descriptions of his thought processes as he continually gets deeper into Fancy Play Syndrome are unintentionally hilarious insights into the immature mind of an arrogant kid who knows a little bit too much and understands a lot to little about what he's doing.

Eh, he's clearly a good writer and poker player. Is he as magnificent at either as he might think? Probably not. But he's far, far better at both than you seem willing to allow.

a lot of the time something 20-25-1 with the industry in Ireland will be over 66/1 on betfair esp in certain type races bumper/novice hurdles - I can remember a few going in over the last few weeks, bumper winner at gowran park bumper at their last meeting springs to mind industry sp 25/1 bfsp 77/1 - a 66/1 at industry price will be often over 300/ on betfair which is a more realistic representation of it's chance of winning and as such I guess you wont see many of them popping up

Maybe when he grows up a bit but I've seen thousands of more talented kids who write better and even manage to disguise a little that defining characteristic of the teenager and even more so of the deluded poker player, that of knowing everything.

He tells a good story as a blog and his talking a great game is funny as it mostly amounts to rear view mirror justification of how he got into shitty positions, I couldn't put up with that amount of insufferable arrogance for a whole book

This is easy.
Back the Niners for him, print out bet and place in envelope.
Currently best-price 6.8 on Betfair (11/2 after tax). 5/1 in Ladbrokes if you want to have actual betting slip to give him.
In Kaepernick we trust.

[bohsman]

quite astounding some of the data.

In Ireland, 184 of the 38,284 horses which were priced 33/1 or greater won. Odds-averaged return of €21 per €100 bet.

In UK, 1,331 of the 139,012 horses which were priced 33/1 or greater won. Odds-averaged return of €48 per €100 bet.

/anyway, I'll stop now!

Is this all SPs or does it take into account that it doesn't take a lot of money for a bookie to slash the odds on a 50/1 shot?

Yep, IPB would be right up there near the top of the list if world governments were suppressing the masses. It'd come just after Huffington Post in the list I believe.

Would it be silly to sign up for the VHI deal offered as part of the internship im doing for 8 months. I estimate it would cost me €12-15 a month as it is heavily subsidised.

Would they consider it kind of greedy based on my relative youth and the fact its only an internship. Could the €120 be spent in a more useful manner.

[Bubbleking]

Have my pathology exam today at 12 - arguably our hardest one due to the sheer volume of stuff we have to cover. One of our tutors tipped off the class that HEP B would make up the clinical case (worth 40% of the paper). Im using my Live soul read to peg him as a bit of a dick so although I've covered Hep B I've put my main focus on something else.

Most people when they open the exam paper will flick straight to the case so I'm going to extend my sweat and wait for reactions rather than open my own paper.

One time for live soul read please

I like this Idea i did order him a 49ers scarf to put inside his now destroyed pint glass with his 10 various craft beers..reckon a 20 blip bet on them would make his sunday night NFL watching complete.

Good work IPB as i added the Dungarvan stout and a bottle of 8 degrees "a awinters ale" on reccomendation from the beerheads in the bbv.
