Some serious names here and looking forward to their tales.
Calling all Strictly, Eurovision & SPOTY fans, great to have specials market guru Rob Furber, author of ‘The Gambler’, on board as one of the 100 contributors to ‘100 Punting Feats And Bad Beats’ now available to pre order weatherbysshop.co.uk/product…
Was amazing to be joined by @AliMaxwell_ from @NTT20Pod for the latest Womble Coefficient pod. Long chat but (I think!) a good one. Ali a huge source of knowledge on the EFL & Wimbledon.
(Apologies to fans of the theme tune for the lack of theme tune).

Rare tennis tweet. Chris Evert had made this final unbearable @tntsports. Never stops talking. Never says anything of any value.
"There was one big whale operating on Polymarket who bought around $250k shares in Finland. He ended up sitting on a potential $70k paper profit and by all accounts sold off only about 10% of his position, so lost heavily." Just one line of the good stuff from @ferrisdayoff

I've gotten a ton of feedback on my forecasts, so I've made some revisions accordingly. Maybe you'll like these better.

43.4% Guy I Shouldn't Disrespect
27.2% American We're Pretending Is a Threat On Clay

So what was my prediction/projection for 🇧🇬 in the final week?
On my SF-2 preview I did mention that 🇧🇬 is a genuine dark horse...
