Morning.
Some pretty thin numbers last night, with Turbo being the worst performer, and it was joined on the Naughty Step by MidEx & the £1k BH. By contrast, & curiously, Predator Main at £5,880 hit it's highest prize pool in 10 weeks. Go figure.
In sport, the first of five Test matches in six weeks between England & India got off to a predictable start, with England being bowled out cheaply. However, the weather may well come to England's rescue. Before the series began, India were freely available to win the Series at 6/4 or more, which might have been the best bet ever were it not for the weather, especially as the last two Tests are in September. Even for the first Test & despite India's superb start, the Draw is favourite at around 11/10. Having said all that, after a summer of Silly Cricket - primarily The Hundred nonsense - it's just terrific to be able to watch proper cricket again, with a red ball, players in whites, the game played at a sensible pace, & the TV screen not splattered with ridiculous graphics. When playing Hundred matches, they have music between balls too. Music at a cricket match? You gotta be kidding me.
Disgusted,

7 at 7 Bounty Hunter (£875)
After some 2,200 games, rvi made their Results Thread debut by taking down 7 @ 7. Has had a few near misses, so this was probably about due. More of the same please, I do like to see super-short aliases, so much easier to type & remember.

THETANK & Mr Bates were 3rd & 4th.
yiddioyid, who won this two weeks ago, was 6th but never got paid a penny-piece.

MrDooWop has won Midex twice this year but was in new territory when winning the Main. Never tried any satellites, which he normally does, just paid in, polled up & single-tabled it every yard. Great stuff.
RCord was runner-up, & loosecamel continued his impressive heater in 4th.
A few weeks ago Natnug had a superb double, winning both Mini & MidEx on the same night. Not seen too much of him since, but he popped up in 6th here.

Game had a lengthy but most productive & profitable day. Began by taking down a £100 BH that ran mid-morning, & ended over 12 hours later with their first ever Mini victory.
The class act was Crushy but the best he could manage was second, with _Smoothe_ sailing into fourth.

August has begun well for MAGPIETYKE, who took a £1,000 BH on the 1st of the month & followed up last night in the Mega.
BooBoo was runner-up, & £1k BH winner Bleurgh completed the trio of podiumates. (Not a real word but should be).
Collecting a few bob in sixth place was Uncle Ungo, who is making FT's for fun at the moment.

SwannLol is another enjoying a wonderful run. In the last week he's been 2nd in a Main, 1st, 2nd & 3rd in Sheriff, 3rd in Sunday's £6k BH & now 1st in Turbo. Not a flash-in-the-pan either, has a terrific CV including big wins in the last two UKOPS - Xmas UKOPS 01 (£2,400) & Easter UKOPS 32 (£2,020). I'm guessing he's not a player you want on your left. Or right. Or table.

bigfatfish was another who dominated last night with a whole string of results including the difficult double of winning both Sheriff & Quickdraw. He was also 6th in MidEx and made no less than three other non-feature Finals. Outstanding.

@Monty15
I saw mention of Chas & Dave yesterday, so let's have one of their best. Chas has left us I'm afraid, but Dave remains alive & well.

Ha, very good.
I just had a quick google, & there seems to be dozens of Chas & Dave Tribute Bands. Amazing the way some people make a living, pretending to be someone else. Good luck to them.
