bored at work, so i thought id look across the league's in Europe for some decent bets for the weekend (odds of evens or greater) and post a few of my recommendations;
Saturday
Kayserispor vs Besiktas evens Guingamp vs Lille 7/5
Sunday
Fenerbahce vs Galatasaray 11/10 Spartak Moscow vs Zenit St Petersburg 12/11 Chievo vs Meeeelan evens Genk vs Anderlecht 7/5 Villareal vs Atletico Madrid 11/10
2.5 miles a bit short for me but, with several bookies paying 5 places in the PP Gold Cup this afternoon, Nadiya De La Vega looks excellent e/w value at 12s (PP) and Gift Of Dgab looks the more interesting of the two from across the puddle at 25s (SkyBet & Sportingbet).......NB. no system at work here!
That was a debacle and a half - NdlV sweated buckets before the race....women! ...sorry O-R-H That was a cracking 3.5m race earlier. Don't Push It was close 2nd in that one before taking the Big One in 2010 and Monbeg Dude won it last year before taking the Welsh. Could be some pointers in that blanket finish for staying h/cs this season. Thought the Dude ran a cracker on unsuitable ground but disappointing run from Burton Port - then again, he is with Jonjo now ;o)
The Gold Cup seems to have come early this NH season judging by decs for the Betfair Chase at Haydock tomorrow.
Bobs Worth Cue Card Dynaste Long Run Roi Du Mee Silviniaco Conti The Giant Bolster Tidal Bay
Should be an absolute cracker. Don't rule out the old boy Tidal Bay from causing a shock - looks a good each way bet to me at 9/1 (if there are in fact 8 runners).................that's blown his chances ;o)
was thinking of having an each way bet on roi du mee as it goes currently 16s
Got to admit he's tempting (a few bookies have him at 20s). Certainly won't lack fitness. Been in terrific form (and very consistent with the tongue tie) and still on the upgrade. Certainly the toughest competition he's faced to date but could upset the apple cart. Good luck.
British all-weather flat racing scaling new heights of farce at Lingfield today. They are using flag starts when more than 10 runners because of vandalism to a set of stalls overnight. ATR justifiably asking, was it impossible to obtain spare stalls from Kempton Park this morning (40 minutes up the road)? Horses, jockies and starter haven't a clue how to do it. Just had 2nd favourite dump the jockey at the start of a 7f race (2nd attempt after a false start). Shambolic.

Essentially it's more of just an introduction to betting on the Championship but theres a few interesting points in there.
When was the last time we came from behind to win a game?
