Who do you fancy

Stevie is flyong. Great run at Malta recently, cool victory over Karl. McCarthy is arguably the best money player here or the uk, though. I've backed Dempsey for a decent sum. I'd make him a 4\6 or so favorite. Obviously its evens each of two, so I've backed Stevie.

Hes not favourite, no chance is Dempsey 4/6. Apart from beating Karl he's been poor enough at tour events this year. No finals and not many if any semi finals. Obviously still class, but no way he's a favourite against Ronan

carpothepunk · 25-02-2014 10:49PM

Having seen Ronan play recently enough, I couldn't male him favorite. Stephen is different gravy, if I'm honest. But like I said, mccarthy is arguably the best money player in the country. I'll have a bet with you if you fancy mccarthy? Save me getting on with someone else.

carpothepunk · 25-02-2014 10:51PM

Also, Dempsey second in rankings this year. Playing well in cash games. Good run in Malta as I said. Very consistent on the tour. Arguably playing better pool more frequently than McCarthy.

Hes 5th, only in second at the moment because of the overlap from last year

Yes

carpothepunk · 25-02-2014 10:55PM

That's true, on further inspection. Point re more frequent quality pool stands.

Ronan did reach the IPA worlds semi finals, only batten by Gareth Potts, so its not like he's struggling

carpothepunk · 25-02-2014 10:57PM

I'll have a bet with you anyway if you fancy. I'll be getting on with Conor or someone anyway, so fire away. Hopefully see you Saturday regardless. Should be an absolute cracker.

Advertising(good or bad) is whats it's all about. In fairness PP are the best at keeping the name constantly out there. It's working your're talking about it;)

The ****ing gaul of the guy whinging about not being allowed to compete against able bodied athletes and then whinging about some guy whose blade gave him an unfair advantage, horrible **** if you ask me.

7/4 guilty is free money, allow me to set the scene:

Someone broke into my house, walked passed our bed without waking either of us, locked themselves in the bathroom and then I heard them. I put my legs on which took about 30 seconds during which time I did not realise my girlfriend was not in bed nor did I try to tell her someone had broken in and I was going to investigate with a gun.

Then I fired a few shots through the door and at no point did my girlfriend say I am in the bathroom or scream and say stop shooting Oscar, I only realised it was her after I had fired four shots through a locked door. Oh and I never fired shots out of a car sunroof or at a restaurant in wanton craziness with firearms. Three incidents of lunacy with guns, they should probably test him for drugs.

Sounds like a clear case of not guilty :rolleyes:

Hope the prick never sees the light of day again.

Tbh I'd be less likely to bet with them with their OTT marketing. Getting a bit annoying at this stage.

Have no interest in the outcome of the case myself. But hats off to the marketing department I guess, novelty event betting like this places them right near the top of all the Cheltenham news on the RP website(exactly what they want with 2 weeks to the festival).

I presume they couldnt do this in the Irish or UK so I guess they thought they might get away with it being in SA. Doubt there would be much money for it in all honesty.

Agree with you. Its getting annoying at this stage and that hunt ball incident last year was extremely stupid.

FWIW PP does not care less either about this case. Like you said with cheltenham coming up it's all about having the name out there.

The worst incident was the betting on the new Pope. That was bordering on blasphemy.

Should be announced this week along with nrnb on all races I'd say.

Apparently it's going to be champagne fever in the Arkle, would have been announced earlier but they were waiting for 100% confirmation he would run.
