Only had one bet today, and it was a good sized one. Took a match bet in Downpatrick between 2 of the cofavourites. Was watching it on the betfair player, and the sound on that doesn't work for me, so wasn't entirely sure. Downpatrick has a really short straight, and turning in, the 2 of them were at least a distance behind the leaders, and pretty much level with each other. Didn't get another look at them till the finish line cos of the camera angles, but about a minute after the winner crosses the line, I see Ruby riding my one one out to the line for 11th place for some inexplicable reason and finishing 38 lengths clear of the other horse who just hacked in . Good on ya Ruby!

Makes no odds, I unclicked that and it came up anyway.
Went to Add/Remove Programmes and got rid of it there

barman etiquette question for the BBV:

a customer has ordered a pint a few minutes ago and is chatting to another guy who is obviously telling him an interesting story. The customer comes in now and again but is by no means a regular. Anyway, he manages to knock his three-quarters full pint off the bar counter by accident. He's embarrassed, apologises to you and asks for another pint. He's clearly not drunk. Anyway, you get him the new pint and give it to him. He holds out cash to pay for it. Do you take it?

Obv not. It's an opportunity to turn a half-regular customer into a fully regular customer by being a bit flexible.

that's what he did obv., I was the fool who knocked over the pint (strewelpeter was telling me a good tale ).

Was just surprised by the gesture more than anything else - probably a bad sign that I'm conditioned not to expect this kind of customer service anymore! Larry Murphys on Baggot St

lol @ the werewolf game. Apparently tightaggressive leaked the names of the werewolves to some villagers last night in the pub after a few too many beers

so real life impinged on fantasy life?

GAA betting ftw.

Fantastic win also for Waterford footballers today. Could the promised land of division 3 be realised this year

I wish I had my old DB from iPoker. There were some very very funny ones in there. Basically randomly jamming ATC into the nuts. There were a few of them

Heres a prime example of this from a few minutes ago.

No-Limit Hold'em, $20.00 BB (4 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($7439)
Hero (SB) ($4014)
BB ($2161)
UTG ($2516.64)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A, 7
1 fold, Button bets $60, Hero raises $210, 1 fold, Button calls $160

Flop: ($460) 8, K, 4 (2 players)
Hero bets $280, Button calls $280

Turn: ($1020) 2 (2 players)
Hero bets $620, Button calls $620

River: ($2260) J (2 players)
Hero bets $2894 (All-In), Button calls $2894

Total pot: $8048

Results:
Button had 7, 4 (flush, King high).
Hero had A, 7 (high card, Ace).
Outcome: Button won $8046

A whirlwind weekend for me, mostly laying but the few bets i done was Tyrone who scored an injury time goal to beat Kerry by 1pt and the NSW Waratahs in the aussie rugby union who were 3pts down very late in the game and they scored an intercept try defending their own lines!.

All the Gah bets came off today..... http://www.irishpokerboards.com/foru...&postcount=108

Just need Liverpool to hold onto the 2 goal lead for a Blackburn/Pool -1 double to come off and finish the weekend nicely

Take a cheap playful dig

Fair enough if it was the barman that said it was on the house but it wasnt it was the other punter so what incentive has one punter to make/keep another a regular

Was in a nightclub last night, and there was this seriously creepy looking lad (Peter Stringfellow esque), surrounded by 4/5 really really good looking girls.

One of my friends knew one of the girls, and she found out that the guy was her boss (not sure what kind of job), and that each and every one of the girls used to be Dancers of the naughty kind.

Anyway, we're in about 15 minutes before it starts getting a bit surreal, the girls are posing for photos with the lad, very risque shots. You man goes to the bar, buys a bottle of champagne, and gets a photo of him pouring it over them.

A well known Irish Rugby player arrives in, and he's in great form, it was my friend's birthday, and he got in a few photos with her, fair play to him.

He goes over to the girls and the creep and is chatting to them for a while, the girls are all over him, and the creep wasn't too happy about it. He takes the rugby player to one side and they're talking away.

Next of all I hear a big thud, and look over and the rugby player has the creep pinned to the floor by his shoulders. "If you ever say anything like that about me again, you'll regret it!"

Stands up, dusts himself off, and walks out of the place with his head high, to a few claps from the rest of us!

lol i had the other one. I couldnt believe i lost as watching the betfair prices in running rubys horse was 1000 in the very late stages whereas mine was only 100 so i was sure i would have won the match bet even though i wasnt watching it!.

Guy who was behind Deadwood is producing a pilot for HBO called 'Luck' starring Dustin Hoffman directed by Michael Mann which looks at the world of horse racing and gambling through a diverse group of characters surrounding a racetrack. Sounds good, hopefully it gets the green light.

Edit - Anyone seen this ?

Looking forward to a goal fest in the Madrid derby now. Having Higuan, Ronaldo, Aguero and Forlan on the pitch at the same time should be fun with both teams having disorganised defenses.
