Right, sussed it, if Ururagay beat Holland we're neutral on the first time lay whatever happens.... with the Spain bet possibly alive. If spain beat Germany the bet's still on whatever happens. So if Holland beat Uruguay and Germany Spain, bet Holland almost certainly for a neutral outcome. Still a free bet on Spain ;-)

No problem Quids. Tip 1: Australia to finish 3rd in tri-nations.

Oh dear - I have put my Germany winnings (from Argie game) on them to win the tournament. Could Paul be wrong for once....

A bet on Holland this morning means I'm only up for a very small loss if they lose, even with my first time winner lay (Spain still a nice little winner). I also had a small bet for Webb as Final referee at the quarter finals (2.4).


Just my stoooopid and spontanous lump on on Paraguay to beat NZ has cost me a decent profit on the tournament - spontaneous bets....GRrrrrrrrrrr.

I reckon NZ to beat SA by less than 12.5 points @ 2.76 is good value. SA haven't won in Eden Park since 1937 though because of rebuilding for next years WC the capacity is only going to be 17,500.Historically they have played 78 times and the average points difference is in NZ's favour but by less than 3 points. I reckon it will be close tomorrow too.

Outsiders only so far - running low on funds.


Ross Fisher 55 ?10.00

Darren Clarke 110 ?5.00

Zach Johnson 150 ?2.00

Shane Lowry 130 ?2.00


At shorter odds have now gone for ?20 on Harrington at 25s - usually gives you a good run and should be ok in the bad weather. Think Tiger is not quite there yet, so bad weather may knock his swing out a fraction. Rory to win would be a dream result, no need to bet to get a kick out of that, but might just check his odds after round 1, he is certainly too short at current odds.


Have added ?2 on Chris Wood and Gareth Maybin. Chris Wood has a good Open record and yet is 100/1 Gareth Maybin is 810/1 so that must mean he is really good too.

Thats because noone knows who is going to win....especially with the weather - best tactics for golf are to bet after round 2. Anyone within 5 shots has a decent chance and you still get decent odds for the chasing pack. Nice to have some interest for the first two days though.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
