Today's Bets so far....

I have followed thegame's darts selection to the letter at £10/point other than I have had a 7pt win on Taylor for the tournament, only because it makes my return over a ton rather than under it. So I hope we can celebrate the success together with a pint again sometime soon!

Following my recent success in ridiculously over-priced football bets I have placed a pony on the Hammers to, well, Hammer the Gunners basically. At 7/1 I again think this is well over-priced as with the Donny bet and after observing the last performances of both West Ham and Arsenal I do think the Hammers can win. Of course, it's a bet I'm looking to trade if West Ham get a good start and have already set up a lay for in-play.

My other football bet for tomorrow is, as usual, 5 selections all with positive odds, with £1 trebles and a £5 acca. and the selections are as follows:

Manchester City to beat Stoke City away @5/4
Tottenham to beat Bolton away @6/4
Doncaster to beat Norwich at home @6/5
Preston to beat Sheff.United at home @5/4
Reading to beat QPR away @13/8

Now if I were you I would do totally the opposite to this as I haven't had a football multiple come up in well over 12 months. You may also notice that I am again backing against my beloved blades but I went on Tuesday when Donny beat us and we were total shite. We could have played for 3 hours and not scored. They played football and we played Volleyball and there were times when our team couldn't find the ball because Donny had it and it was on the floor. Apparently Kevin Blackwell(A former Keeper) was overheard by a fan who sits just behind the dug-out saying to his number 2(Also a former Keeper) 'Do you think we are kicking it high enough?' - God help us all!!!

I have looked at the racing today and be honest it mostly is boring as fuck so I may not have a bet today. Then again I am drawn to 'Whatcanyasay' in the 14.00 @ catterick and may have this in a double with 'Northern Empire' in the 19.50 @ Wolverhampton and probably some singles awell - doh!

Some close friends and family members have made me an appointment at GA but with all this gambling I don't think I will have time to attend - ROFL!!!!

Every Cloud...


As amazing as thegame's 2.44 price on the Villa coup was on betfair, it was nowhere near as crazy as the jaw dropping 5.2 I found for Donny Rovers to beat my beloved Sheff. United. The blades were piss poor but when money is to be made I have no problem backing the opposition. As they say - every cloud has a silver lining!




On another note, I was off work today looking after my youngest and whilst he was having his morning nap I properly studied the days racing and came up with 3 selections, on which I had a £2 e/w patent. They were Saffin (2nd @ 14's), Back in the Red (Winner @ 11/2) and Prince of Persia (Disappointing 3rd @ 7/2). My return was £109ish, another close but no cigar!!!




Tomorrow is another day....
