maqroll Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Who do you guys consider the best commentators? I think Martin Tyler is head and shoulders above the rest. Ian Darke is quite good too. Peter Drury does my friggin head in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 tyler mentioning that game vs QPR is beyond a joke now, every **** match and if its city / utd / qpr playing its about 4 times a match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunRickyRun Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 An overall profit from football predictions is pretty good tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 not really, Predicting United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea to win every week adn Reading, QPR, Wigan to lose every week doesnt show great knowledge. INcidentally his method is predictable top team vs average team = 2-0 to top team, 2 top teams play 1-1. rarely any different though I love the fact his bottom 2 are Liverpool and Everton really shows his bias and knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted January 10, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2013 You'd think if he's that good at predicting, he wouldn't talk so much shit when he's on MOTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have made a profit on his predictions had he stuck a tenner on every prediction (ie the odds take into account the fact that Man Utd and Man City are expected to win every game). That's pretty decent especially when you consider the book is drawn in the bookie's favour (so that if you stuck a pound on a w/l/d on every match you would lose a stack of money). Most racing tipsters would be happy with such a yield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviramsey Posted January 10, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2013 That said, the graphic's "excluding commissions" bit implies that their odds source is an exchange, most likely betfair. It's quite plausible that the commission on winnings that betfair charges eliminates the profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 On talksport the other day (yes I know). They were talking about punditry on the bbc esp motd and how poor it was, saying that other channels are moving with times but bbc aren't and that for our money they should really be delivering a better analysis and cut out the crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 (edited) A company founded by Kelvin MacKenzie who are in direct competition with Radio 5 having a pop at the BBC? The very fact that every time somebody mentions they listen to TalkSport they half apologise about doing so speaks volumes. It's a horrible outlet.

If I wanted to watch fat, self-important, unintelligent arseholes have asinine arguments with each other without any reasonable debate, I'd visit the main forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
