And everyone off the mark and earning now!

[Spencer4]

sorry about that...

[Ashers]

sorry about that...

Hope you backed him in the real world.

[Spencer4]

I did, but only after the semi, forgot I'd selected him in this.

[Grant]

sorry about that...

You only needed to hit a couple of your longer odds efforts to hit the top. Good selection of Bingham though, pleased he won, top chap....bar you winning in this, obviously

[Sport Billy]

Premier League Darts results in. I'll post a new table tomorrow. One winner and some place money to dish out!!

Well done Forestfan, a lone wolf with Anderson!

21 - Bspittles - £53.75 joker played (result not in yet)
22 - Tommymooney - £50 no joker played

Top ten all making a profit on 'stakes' so far which is a tremendous effort. Only Bspittles and Tommymooney hiding the bank statements from the wife at the moment!!

Jokers still the key to winning this I suspect. Only Rugby World Cup, Wimbledon Singles, Open Golf and SPOTY still available to use them on. Everything else is in play or finished.

It'll be amazing if anyone picks a winning joker to get close to Spencer4's 40/1 snooker shot...

[Ashers]

ALl or nothing - Joker on Justin Rose.

[nigel1305]

Hi Sport Billy,

Joker on Andy Murray - SPoTY please

Thanks

[Sport Billy]

2 results to catch up on chums....

Not in chronological order....first one is easy, Champions League. Only one Barcelona selection! And nothing for Juventus...

Congratulations to Kcjonze who adds a nice £110 to his pot...well done friend!

FA Cup to follow

[Sport Billy]

FA Cup results as follows....

Nobody on the Villa (Ha!)

Arsenal rewarded £57.50 to...

Ashers
Maldini
Surprised
Grant
Toffeelover
Nigel1305
Forestfan

Tightening up for the places, but one hit wonder Spencer and his fancy 40/1 winners are still to be caught....

[kcjonze]

Only one Barcelona selection! And nothing for Juventus... Congratulations to Kcjonze who adds a nice £110 to his pot!

Thanks, sir. Who would have thunk it?

Nothing to do now but play safe, and Joker it up with Branden Grace in the Open, please

[Sport Billy]

Done....

[Surprised]

I need to play my joker soon

[Sport Billy]

Yep! Use it or lose it sister!!

[Surprised]

I think I'll use it on the Open Golf to try and get some big bucks

[Sport Billy]

Deadline tonight for any Wimbledon Jokers??

[Maldini]

Will play my joker now.

Not on Wimbledon but on the Rugby World Cup.

New Zealand

I'll forget otherwise.

Cheers SB

[Sport Billy]

Done....

[Surprised]

I'll stick mine on the tennis with Kvitiova please

[Spencer4]

My joker to be played on Stenson for the Open please.

[Spencer4]

McIlroy out of the golf by the looks of it, shame...

[morganb]

McIlroy out of the golf by the looks of it, shame...

May be, may be not - from Twitter via the BBC sports day page http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/33247602 :

McIlroy camp not yet ruling out Open. Key is if and how he can swing a golf club.. Which won't be known for a few days yet.


However they've also got a picture of Rory complete with cast and crutches which looks fairly conclusive.

Perhaps he'll play using a special interchangeable club head mechanism fitted onto one of his crutches?

[tommymooney]

sorry, not been following this - is there anything left to play my joker on? Ta.

[SamD]

Just two events left for any remaining Joker to be used:

• Rugby World Cup in Sept-Oct
  BBC Sports Personality in Dec.

Check this post for options:

[tommymooney]

Many Thanks Sam, Sport Billy can I play my Joker on England for the world cup please!

Thanks.

[Sport Billy]

Sorry, been busy and haven't updated! I'll do it today with Wimbledon and the golf done....

Back soon..

[SamD]

Might be time to play Joker:

• Jessica Ennis-Hill - 16/1 to be Sports Personality

Current odds: http://www.oddschecker.com/awards/sport ... ear/winner

Thanks, Sport Billy.

[topspur]

With Murray out of the US Open I'd better play my joker on South Africa for the rugby !
