Bet Suggestion

Mauro Boselli 9-2 eway bet365 firstscorer unlimited eway places

So far this season he's started both Cup games, scoring twice at West Ham last time and one against forest in the previous round.

He scored three for the reserves last week and seems pretty determined to try and become a regular again.

The quotes from martinez suggest he will certainly start again, bradford have let 3 or more in away at least 3 times this season and wont find it any easier to defend against wigan whose almost reserve side looks a lot stronger this season ( i was very impressed against  a good forest side were they bossed the game)

suggest whatever they will lay you eway

Seemed a fair spot as they were/are way ool with every1 else.

Unforts trimmed to 4's now.

Also unforts is i believe fred is restricted sim to my acount and ive been offered the immense 6.25 ew on it.

Edit: Weird back to 9-2 again now, and they've let me have a bit more on too, quite like this bet horse has tipped.

Hi teeks, I've written an NBA season preview for those lovely chaps at bettingon.com. Even tho I like them for the title, I'm expecting the Lakers to start slowly, a lot of injuries, went 0-8 in preseason, potentially without Kobe and Dwight Howard on opening night, I've backed Dallas at 4/1, even tho they have problems of their own, too big for me.

Anyway, here's the season preview for anyone interested, have a look round the site too, it's pretty good

Nice piece Jeff, thanks.

That Site is developing nicely, I had a look at the range of stuff they cover now - very imprerssive.

And then I saw that they have a whole section devoted to..........X-Factor.

Goddamnit, has the entire world gone soft in the head?


PS - Was great to see you last week (twice?), I really think I need to get out more, in every sense. I come on here & see X-Factor shite everywhere, in GPC we hear of folks lives being ruined because the chip denoms at DTD are wrong, yet I played Live Poker twice in the last fortnight & I coud not have enjoyed myself more, & I'm pretty sure most others had a good time, too. 

PPS - Did you see the nirvana Level on GPC? Best level ever ever ever. And Team Pimple are still mocking him & telling him he played it badly. O....M....G.......

India A close an entertaining first day at the Brabourne in Mumbai on 369 for 9..in the first tour warm up match

Finn was injured and needs a scan.

Click to see full-size image.

How about that for a Deco pavillion?

The Brabourne was India's first permanent sports ground, but hasn't been used for test cricket since 1972

Far classier than a lot of venues though

Don't suppose you can find that India - England Test match suggestion?

I'm also reminded that Horsey stuck a bet up for that. I'll go have a look shortly.

Am I the only one who thinks 15/11 (betfair) is a brilliant price for Villa against a lower league side?

As he's not flavour of the month and Villa are short of strikers, is Darren Bent expected to start?

Villa have a rotten run of fixtures ahead and need something to inspire the side lacking confidence.

As a serious question, this looks like a Giant killing pick on a coupon, so would that logically mean that the market is weighted to reflect the money people will punt on Swindon? If so, is betting on Villa giving us value?

India v England Test Matches

Begin 15 Nov

India to win 4-0 at 20-1

http://www.oddschecker.com/cricket/india-v-england/india-v-england-tests/india-england-tests/series-correct-score

An England batting line up with a new opener and fragile against spin goes to the sub continent to face India in four tests up to Christmas

They will face RaviChandran Ashwin and Pragjan Ojha

Ojha is a left arm spinner who I saw a lot of in 2011. In his last two home series he took 20 wickets in three tests versus the West Indies and 13 wickets in two tests versus New Zealand. 75 wickets in 16 Tests overall

Ashwin is an offie but has the huge virtue of another ball, the so called soduku ball, a finger-flicked tennis-ball legbreak, which he developed from the streets of Chennai and used it effectively in international cricket on a bigger, harder cricket ball.

Ashwin has 49 wickets in 8 Tests having only made his debut in Nov 2011

The point being that India should underprepare their pitches to spin and spin often. They got stuffed in England under glowering Skies 4-0 in 2011 and the chances of them giving the English seamers anything remotely friendly is low.

We can pick Swann and Panesar and take them on, but to do so weakens another area, either losing a batsman or a seamer and unbalancing the side as Panesar doesn't bat.

I expect India, notably Kohli, to have a strong batting series.

Weather will not be a factor.

India are 11-10 to win the first match and if you were to do an accumulator on all four games at 11/10 then you'll get 18-1

In practice I think they are odds-on for some of these Tests at home


Recommendation £10 @20-1 Ladbrokes. Generally 14-1 elsewhere and I think its a sporting bet for minimal money

Quote now 16-1 4-0 and 12-1 3-1

http://www.oddschecker.com/cricket/india-v-england/india-v-england-tests/india-england-tests/series-correct-score

If we suggest that India are 4/5 to win each single test (about right, at home, on turning pitches) then a four timer on that would pay 10.5-1

I got the strong impression he was in the middle of a major sulk/strop, but maybe I misread it.

If he is, it would help explain Villa's lacklustre performances - nothing worse for team morale than big money strikers having the sulks.

The fans don't seem to know what's going on, either. Plenty of calls for Bent to start. I don't think it changes whether I think 15/11 is a good price, although I prefer a side with him in it to one with Benteke in.

I was once on a Ryanair flight (thin, I know...) and a chap next to me bought a €2 scratchcard "win a chance to win a million". He won €10 and was delighted. The stewardess informed him that, regretfully, they didn't have €10 to give him immediately, so he could either wait or they'd give him five scratchcards instead. Muggins duly obliged and scratched his winnings away gleefully.

If I think someone is an ice cream, they are DEFINITELY an ice cream.
