More people than in any previous Show have asked me when the repeat of the Grand National Betting Preview will be.

It was a 2 hour segment, & will be repeated, in full, at 11am this morning. (Thursday).

    The 2 hour segment was split into 2 x 1 hour distinct halves, the first being the Aintree Meet generally, exclusing the Grand National. That'll be, as I stated above, 11am Thursday.

    The 2nd Hour ONLY, which was devoted to the Grand National ONLY, will be shown on both Friday & Saturday. I don't have the times to hand at present, but will Post them later today, or tomorrow morning.

    Mr Channing will be on the Channel again NEXT Tuesday, in the Live Show, doing the "US Masters Betting Preview". This will be a ONE HOUR segment.

    Fingers crossed, he'll remain in the Studio all evening, & do some more poker analysis. His poker analysis is spectacularly good, imo.

    In reply to another question, no, there will NOT be a Guineas Meeting Betting Preview Show.
     
    It's a balance thing, not everyone enjoys these Betting Previews, so a common-sense & balanced approach is needed.

    After next Tuesday's US Masters Show, I believe the next scheduled one will probably be Royal Ascot. It's possible (I don't know for sure) there will be one for the Football World Cup, too.

    Also scheduled, for the Autumn, will be an NFL version, before the season starts.

    Hi Tikay,

    Will these be added to any youtube-style site available on demand or is it ch861 only?

    Would great if they are as the Channing episodes of the show are always fantastic, probably the best guest the channel gets (my opinion only).

    Was a schoolboy error when I left Sky TV without checking I'd still be able get my TV poker fix.

    Sigh, been at work and missed both repeats.  Did ok without Neils help though (first time for everything).

    Obviously there was a small matter of a champions league game Tuesday so many people could not watch live.

    Please if any1 knows (Sky team/ Tikay) exact times the shows will be repeated could you post on here.
    Would be massively appreciated.  

    Good to see Neil will be back on Tuesday,  I''ve already gone big on Donald for the masters. 50/1 !!!!
    LUKEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

    Yes, strangely everyone else on here does.  Weird that everybody pronounces it twelve-sixtyseven.   Never had a one-two-six-seven .

    Obviously an error was made when i signed up and this name was not intended  !

    Thanks for the update.  Looking forward to the national hour.

    Is Channing contracted to any site following the wind up of his blackbelt site? Would be good if he could join the Sky team in some way! I always look forward to his contributions.

    I'm not a fan of these type of shows, but I will definitely watch that one, and having it before the regular season starts would be an improvemen on the 2013 version, which aired after 2 weeks of games and all the value had gone.

    No, Neil is not contracted to any Poker site, or not at present.

    He does have some other business interests though, notably Betting Emporium, which he wants to concentrate on for a while.
     
    Would he join Sky Poker? At present, no, I very much doubt that. It IS, possible, however, that he'll do a bit more poker analysis for us in the coming months, & discussions as to that are taking place already.

    It's amazing how much positive feedback there has been to Neil's poker analysis, & I've fuelled that fire, too, so I need to confess to a slight conflict of interest, in that he & I are very good friends, & I'm a huge fan of how he does poker analyis, & I've also benefitted personally from his help & advice in many areas.

    I cashed in two (from three) WSOP PLO8 events in the last 2 years, Channing was on "my rail" from start to finish, as he knows all the players, & he marked my card as to every player on every table for me, & also gave me a lot of advice & support. He must have spent 20 hours railing me & offering advice to me.
     
    On one particular table, I was getting "run over" by better players, & I did not quite know how to handle them. Channing worked out that my Table would "break" very soon, & said "sit out, don't play a hand, your Table will break before you have to post your next BB". PLO8 plays pleasantly slowly, but 15 minutes later, I was still sat there, & now it was time to Post by BB, so in went my chips, with a sigh. At that VERY moment, "Floor" arrived with chip trays, "Dealer, don't deam, this table is breaking".

    As soon as I went to my next Table, Channing called me across. "Seat 2 is awful, plays any 4, seat 6 is a low-chaser, he's easy to play, Seat 8 only plays A-A-2-x" etc,  

    So yes, I'm a bit biased.

    As far as I know, it is Ch 861 ONLY, though of course you can watch the Live Stream even if you do not have Sky TV.

    Have to agree with that, I'm afraid! Makes no sense (to me) once the season has started, as the value has then gone.  

    Fingers crossed, (it's not my decision of course) we'll try & get SPT Rich to do the NFL Show. He is sheer genius @ NFL.

    but if we get Channing on for more poker analysis in recompense I guess I could put up with a few more

    amazing how just one comment from the right person at the right time can lift the scales from your eyes. really looking forward to when i have some time to play again to apply this latest insight from the great Mr Channing.

         Mr Neil Channing is Pure Class, would be great to see him & Daniel NeGranu do a Poker TV Version of the classic Smith & Jones
