Paddy power offering money back if Tiger wins & six places ew so they'll be getting most of my money I imagine.

Nothing really looks value on the Blackburn/Man U matches, Blackburn dont have a prayer IMO.

Man U to be leading at the 10 minute mark is 9/2 if anyone fancies a novelty bet :D

I hate these sort of matches. No value anywhere.

Even the handicap betting odds are crap.

Exactly. One shite team against a team not as good as they used to be.

I'm leaning towards a 0-2 result but I never bet on correct scores.

Under 2.5 goals is a probability but I think the intelligent decision would be 'no bet'.

Which means nothing in my case.

Obviously, no final decisions until team news is announced.

The only bets that look half decent are the card index bets, Blackburn are the second dirtiest side in the PL and have often had at least three players booked this season, admittedly this hasnt happened in the last five matches but none were against the champions.

Over 40 points is 2/1 with Paddypower at the mo.

Great start! :D :D :D

Basketball Bet

Back the Pistons to make it 5 wins in 6 against an exhausted Wizards who are playing their 4th game in 5 nights.

Odds are tiny but I would be confident about taking them on the handicap (-7.5 points) if you want a bigger price.

Was rather surprised to see that the Gold Cup winner Synchronised is still in the National. Even more surprised to see it available at 9/1 on Saturday morning (Can still get 8/1). I know people will always bang on about the National being a lottery / anything can win it etc etc but essentially it is just a staying handicap where the weights are announced ages in advance. I may be horribly wrong here but I'd imagine that this race was Synchronised's main target this season as I don't believe they expected him to be good enough to win the GC, the fact that he did surely means he's thrown in at the weights here and should be a short priced favourite. The last time I can remember a similar scenario to this was when Rough Quest was placed in the GC and went off 7/1 ish favourite for the National and duly won it (beat Encore en Peu by a few lengths which I'd backed AP @ 66/1 and everything else by a distance).

My usually interest in the national involves having a tenner on five horses but this year I've already had £30 on Synchronised @ 9/1 and I'm giving serious consideration to lumping on @ 8/1 and leaving everything else be.

WHU v Birmingham

Paddy's paying 7/2 on over 50 points Card Index for this game.

Had some of that.
