Moyes subs off Cahill and osman before 60 mins, no wonder they can't score.

Cahill is a shadow of the player he used to be.  Hasn't scored in last twelve months.

Know the main threads for congrats for Dubai are on other threads but would just like to add my congratulations on my diary.  Obv is great to have a small piece of him and it makes a difference to my bankroll which is very welcome but really happy for him with the baby coming but just generally because my dealings on here with him have always been very amicable and he is a very knowledgable sports bettor too and one of the best contributors to this board imo.  Congrats also to Shaun (Claypole) and Lil Dave.

Only bet on NFL playoffs this week is Denver +7.5 1.94.  Too much emphasis on Tebow imo in that price.  Game is being played at home, at altitude versus a team whose QB is banged up badly and star running back is out.  I don't think denver are that good but I am not sure they are going to have to be.  Had wanted to bet NYG given that Atlanta only played something like one game outside since week 4 but was too busy watching the crab!!!

Have you seen Betfred's bet of the day? I just got an email alert offering Arsenal at evens tonight. Max bet is £25 but I don't quite understand the promotion. Surely they don't need to boost the price that much. Or is it so that something like this happens and everybody reads it and signs up to Betfred?

Very weird week for me. 

I got back to the UK from Miami last Saturday and have been on the move most of the time since.  Late last year I agreed to help some friends of mine with a new in running football betting product they have developed and had scheduled to go to Graz in Austria to meet with the developers and look at the software so i can adequately describe it to people who may be interested in it.  I stayed in North London and set off in plenty of time for my Ryanair flight from Stansted but the North Circular was like a car park and I missed my flight by a fraction and Graz isn't somewhere that there are a lot of flgihts to from the UK but with hotels etc already booked I decided I would try and get there anyway so eventually found a late afternoon flight from Gatwick to Vienna for E350 and intended to get either a very expensive cab or hire a car and drive down to Graz when I got to Vienna (about 120 miles according to google).  However upon arrival  in Vienna I realised I may have overestimated my options as only one of four car hire  firms was open and they had nothing available.  Next trip was to ask a cab firm who quoted me E450.  Luckily, I decided tp have a quick look upstairs in departures to see if there were any other options when i noticed that the last flight out of the airport at night was headed to Graz.  My earlier searched had suggested there were no flights but a quick trip to the ticketing counter and I was the proud owner of a one way fligght from Vienna to Graz (a 25 minute flight) for the bargain price of E320.  My inital flight had cost me £44.99 on Ryanair including taxes but the traffic ended up costing me the best part of a day and about E700. 

Anyway it was all worth it because the first thing that was pointed out to me by my taxi driver the next morning when he learnt that I was a Boro fan was the block of flats where former Boro hero Emmanuel Pogatetz grew up.   I have never spent much time in Austria before but I really liked Graz and its other illustrious 'son' was Arnold Schwarzenegger who they named the local stadium after  but when he was the Governor of California his actions proved very unpopular back in Austria especially when refusing to revoke the death penalty and they were going to change the name of the stadium in protest but eventually he withdrew their right to use his name.

Punting wise the week has been an amazing rollercoaster.  I had 2.5% of Dubai which provides a much needed boost to the bankroll at the moment because the last couple of weeks the punting has been nothing short of horrendous but I really can't complain as i have3 been running pretty good recently.

Think Aguero to score first is a cracking bet at 6/1 with Ladbrokes.....don't really understand what their odds compilers are thinking with that price.

Great example this morning of how hard it is to get on these days.  I opened a fresh Victor Chandler account last Thursday.  Since then I have been very conservative on it only ever betting anything to win a couple of hundred or a monkey at most.  Won a grand in first four days of having the account and it was shut this morning when I went to log in.

It gets worse.  My partner opened an account with an 'unnamed' new firm on the British horseracing scene and gave me the account details to bet on it.  We had our first bet this morning which was a ton at 5/1 a horse.  I just tried to bet a second horse and my limits appear to have been halved.  The first horse hasn't even run yet and has only shortened from 5/1 to 9/2!!!!

If you want a WHOLE hundo on a horse, it's pretty obvious you MUST have inside info, so I don't blame them.

Hills, Bet£3.65 and VC are now pricing up most of the following day's racing by 5pm. Not sure they actually do any prices themselves though. Today at Southwell I've done five races and the prices that sprung up yesterday afternoon were almost a carbon copy of the prices I put in, and that in turn appeared on Raceform Interactive from noon.

What's to stop me putting an 8/1 shot I fancy in at 20/1? Nothing I guess but I wouldn't do it. Not much point to get a fiver on like.
