No, not Richard Orford, but a 1 hour Super Bowl Betting Preview.

    That FREE £1,100 UKPC Seat?

    Yup, just bust Charlotte Jackson in tonight's Sky Sports Bounty Hunter, & you win a £1,100 Sky Poker UKPC Seat. It's that simple.

    T & C's?

    Just the one really - the seat is non-transferable, so if you cannot attend, Sky Poker will award you a £500 cash prize instead.

    Tonight's Presenter?

    None other than the man who describes himself on his Twitter Page as......

    Racing & betting Presenter, Journalist, husband, father, punter. 

    Yes, it's Sean Boyce, known on Twitter as @boyciesbetting

    An old friend of our Channel, used to be on the rota, but moved on to other things, including At The Races, but still graces us with his presence for Betting previews & the like.
     
    I last bumped into Sean at the Sir Peter O'Sullevan Awards at The Dorchester, where he had a splendid table draw, & his dining companions included John McCririck.

    Tonight's Guest?

    First up, I should add that we await confirmation from this erudite chap, as we've struggled to get hold of him this week. Probably too busy sorting out his bets for the Super Bowl. He is a complete NFL nutcase. 

    And the only reason I mentioned the Sir Peter O'Sullevan Awards Dinner (apart from chirping) is that I was the Guest of this man.

    Can he talk? Just a bit.

    NFL Betting & Horse Race Betting Specialist, BIG winner at poker down the years, and the selection of many as the UK's most popular poker player. 

    Yup, none other than Sir Talk-A-Lot, Lord Grumpy himself, Mr Neil Channing.

    Here's Neil, after being put to the test by Rob Yong in a Sky Poker Cash Game.





      

    Neil's main task this evening - assuming he arrives - will be to find some value to beat the bookies with. Neil does not overly care for Bookies, his favourite saying is punish them

    Also......

    During the Show, we'll be taking a few phone calls from Charlotte Jackson. Imagine being in Charlotte's spot tonight, with what amounts to an £1,100 Bounty on her head - think she'll get called mighty wide!

    Good luck tonight Charlotte. You'll need it, these boys want that £1,100 Sky Poker UKPC Seat.

    So, there it is, quite a Show.

    A £1,100 Sky Poker UKPC Seat, Super Bowl Betting Preview, Master Cash, Top of the Pots, Charlotte on the 'phone, the Sky Sports Bounty Hunter, Boycey, &, fingers crossed, Lord Grumpy.
     
    Now THAT is a Show. Eat your heart out Orford.

    Lol, not wrong!

    The Presenter has the task of doing the Show Thread, but as it's Boycey, not totally familiar with the routine, they asked me to do it, so I thought I'd make a bit of an effort. Bit of a fail so far. Never mind.

    Been here since 5am, working on UKPC stuff, so I'm going back home shortly to get some kip before the Show tonight. Pretty sure when I get back, this Thread will be, ooh, nearly a page long......

    Tikay where is the t&c's? Just curious what happens if you already have a seat for UKPC? (Thin brag)

    Lay off the Ovaltine when you go home. Don't want you sleeping in tonight.

    We are the Ovaltineys, happy boys & girls........

    The T & C's are at the foot of the Promo Page, HERE

    To save you reading them, I'll quote them for you, in their entirety. Shortest set of T & C's ever ever ever.
     
    Terms & Conditions£500 cash equivalent will be made available to the player that knocks Charlotte Jackson out but cannot attend the UKPC next month.


    I can't answer beyond that, (because I don't know) so you'd need to speak to Customer Care if you are still in doubt.
     
    See you in Nottingham!

    I'd imagine it's that same £500.

    Lap it up Tikay, some of us don't need £1,100 seats and top celebrities to pull in the ratings ;-)

    The producers have obviously decided to help you any way they can. And I think they're right to.

    I'm available at any time Tikay to give you a masterclass in how to run a show thread.

    You're welcome.

    before the tournament starts, it would be good for someone from sky clarify what happens if you are already entered into the UKPC and you bust Charlotte?

    It would be a little unfair to only offer them £500 after they have spent time and effort supporting the sattelites to qualify.

    Maybe the £1100 could be split and used for side event entry??

    Hi melty.

    As I said earlier, you'd need to speak to Customer Care.

    However, do so BEFORE the Tourney if you so intend.


    Good Luck tonight!
