Giovanni Perricard to beat Jakub Mensik @estimated 1.91 odds with STN With the new World odds authority shake down in effect.. I will try to post most plays in robot odds for the super society civilized folks of the old world. I only have some trouble converting the favorite prices but I can get close. Anyhow.. I placed the bet last night at these odds, and they may have changed but couldn't have moved all that much.. I'm very confident in the bet. Perricard's serve is just too big to contend with, and he is confident playing great with alot of time adjusting to the brisbane conditions which play like indoors courts even though they never list this tournament indoors.. Looks like there is a roof on every court which is also funny.. I've always loved this tournament for some reason. Mensik is a player that I also respect, and he's usually decent to back him as an underdog.. There is a squadron of young Czech players that are very impressive to me.. Particularly the Fruhvirtova sisters, Lehecka, Mensik, and I guess we shall add Noskova even though she looked a bit out of shape last match.. There is some others I probably missed but Vondrousova is only 25. Problem with Mensik in this match for me is that he's not going to be able to deal with Gio's serve in my opinion, and then there's going to be a couple of chances on his own serve which is not nearly as large. Tiafoe was playing great in my opinion, and Perricard just met him at every challenge with a quiet confidence. @harry_rag 😁@CzechPunter@The Rainmaker. Rain - this one don't qualify with your odds requirement, but I imagine it's going to be a banger, and in my opinion Mensik will need a superhuman performance.. He has some arm troubles last year, and I don't know his current status, but I have no concern with the health of Perricard.. knock on wood! Good luck fellas

Bet on the flat for years Mclarke my friend and it all changed for me a few years ago. Money was low and had a bit of a make or break Cheltenham which ended up fairly profitable. For some reason had always concentrated on flat racing and only occasionally bet the jumps in the winter/early spring when it was the main. After that Cheltenham started to concentrate fully on National Hunt in the UK (and occasionally France) and found that was where I could make money. Only wish I had done it from day one of my betting life. Please don't think I have anything against flat racing or anyone who chooses to bet on it, it is only now my personal preference and I do not mean any disrespect to anyone.

Posting my first few selections now for the weekend as I feel the prices might shorten... 1.50 Sandown Etalon 4/1 3pt win 3.15 Wincanton Kado de Joie 5/2 3pt win 3.58 Cork Gers Shadow 20/1 1pt e/w 5.20 Wolves The Last Time 11/2 2pt win 2pts staked ✅️ I think that's probably it unless the market shifts on a couple I like 🤝🏽

Kudermetova vs Kalinina Over 2.5 Sets +135 Niemeier vs Cirstea Under 21.5 -110 Pavlyuchenkova -2 games -118 vs Siegemund Easy analysis for this trio of affairs... First of all, I expect an epic 3-set affair between Kudermetova and Kalinina. Polina is playing lights out in this event to this point, and she doesn't look like she'll fade despite the time on the court. Secondly, Jule and Sorana? You stink! No, you stink! No no no, YOU STINK!! Ok, fine I stink but YOU STINK TOO!!! 💋 I expect one of them to fold after losing the first set because either of them can fold in an instant! And last, Pavs is going to either produce a monster 2025 campaign or I will just have to eat my words! Opening the season ranked 30th should inspire a deep run to open 2025 and we all know that Siegemund is schlep!

Surprised to see Bournemouth at 8/11 - Everton have scored one goal in four games.

I am on NICE in France tonight at 6-5. They are very good value IMO. They are home to Rennes Nice at Home are 4-3-0 Goals 18-7 Rennes away are 0-1-6 Goals 4-15 Combined it gives 10-4-1 (66% chance of a home win) and a Goals for/against of 33-11 ..... enough to tempt me at 6/5 odds for the home side.

Never went in myself, but my Dad has went Morikawa, Matsuysma who've started well, no so Burns and Cantlay

No problem. I used to do very well over the jumps and ignored the AW as I considered it low grade racing for the benefit of the bookies. But my jumps results deteriorated and I had a go at the AW and found it very profitable. I've started using speed figures over the jumps, perhaps this will reignite my love with NH racing.

Agree WW , think it's great that we seem to have a wide variety of opinions on how to make the game pay and we're all big and ugly enough to decide whether to follow others or not. Reckon that's the best thing about this forum in that everyone is encouraged to throw their personal strategies into the mix , it's good to exchange views.

Im going to go real simple this year- i will blindly back 4 players, Zalatoris, Niemann, Hovland and Aberg to small stakes at the start of most of the tournaments then reassess each bet after two rounds to stick, increase or drop. The majors i will treat the same but maybe add on 2 players that i think are good value.

Littler is unstoppable. MVG is playing well aside from his doubling, but Littler is lethal with his finishes particularly on his trusty double ten. Immense from the young lad, MVG not getting a look in so far, he's getting mauled by the youngster. Astonishing display.

Hopefully third time lucky for me taking on Coventry City recently. An away trip to Norwich isn't the ideal way to finish off a period of 5 games since the 21st Dec, and there will be some tired legs all round by the end of the game. Norwich aren't the finished article but could be playing themselves into some form. I think Coventry will be there for the taking being knackered and low on confidence after failing to beat 10 man Cardiff. 3 points win Norwich (7/5 Bet365) P/L: -5.2pts Norwich were woeful but a rare bit of luck for me with 2 goals in injury time to turn it around 😲

I'm focusing mainly on the WTA side of things as always, and I haven't seen any of the men's United Cup action, so I'm not going to comment just for the sake of it. But certainly I wouldn't be comfortable backing Hurkacz at such short odds given what's at stake (nothing).

This weeks qualifiers and bets... SUNDERLAND (best bet) and L.ORIENT (next best) 2pt double paying around 1.3/1. There are a few others of interest but that is the only bet so far.

Saturday Sportsbook--Isak & Gordon to combine for 2 or more SOT 4/9 to Evens ( advisable to check team news just in case ) +£10.00 William Hill--Newcastle / A.Villa / Man City treble- at 3/1 +£30.00 Another requiring a personal choice outside the cumulative if you fancy... Skybet--£5 free bet if your Bet Builder for a fiver loses Liver vs Man Utd ( need to opt-in first ) Ones that don't give value and avoided... Specials including an Isak assist seem insufficient overall value when broken down.

Good morning all. Three out of four selections returned each way money in France yesterday but sadly unable to hit the net with one so again just a small return made. This did though include an 8/1 that let the winner get 20 lengths ahead before being beaten a neck! (what do these jockeys play at sometimes!) Was not going to put anything up today but again I am losing the battle with a potentially very boring day ahead otherwise. A couple of selections made today are what I always term as OTB selections which basically stands for "outside the box" picks and are not what I would normally put up as a selection. Generally they are horses that I feel might be on a fair enough mark but need to improve their form on their last run (normally would not back a horse not in recent form). Be warned they are next best picks at best: Musselburgh 12.27 TOROSAY (otb) @ 4/1 (Will Hill) Musselburgh 1.27 CARDAMON HILL (otb) @ 4/1 (Will Hill) Musselburgh 2.57 CHAPEL GREEN @ 10/3 (B365 / Will Hill) Best of luck to everyone today.

Welcome to 2025 everyone! Apologies for a couple of rounds without updates. I was away for the Christmas break but I am back now and the updates will be back on track! @patriciamarc is back on top after huge pressure coming from the experienced @Team Sagga over the festive period. Excitement levels are on another scale with Lucas FC now only holding a 5-point lead over three teams who are tied for 2nd place in the form of Team Sagga, @Trimble89's Yamal Sells Avon, and @dwikyeddo's Cyber Tech FC. It was a big scoring week this round with a number of teams surpassing the glorious 100-point mark. @tilzonja's Kostolomac Team, @Chris Gumbley's High Flying Bantams, and Aleksandar Karafiloski's Vidobista team all breached the century landmark but didn't quite do enough to hit the highest team score of the week. That accolade went to Peter Ologbenia's Bizza FC who earned 105 points for the round. An impressive tally looking even more so given three players failed to get more than 2 points in the starting XI and no tokens were used either! At the other end of the table, normality resumed, and the nightmare campaign for Andy Elliot's Andellio continued. Just 12 points for the bottom-placed club this week. It could have been even more embarrassing had Fabian Schar not scrounged 5 points off his own back. The team in 126th position are now 272 points behind their nearest rivals and the wooden spoon is looking firmly set for just one destination right now as we reach the halfway stage of the campaign. The transfer deadline for week 20 matches is 11am UK time on Saturday 4th January. All the best to everyone! Will we have a new leader at the top of the table come next week?

Bet 153 P/L -£104.60

See if we can catch a few out with this EW jobby. Bit unfortunate in the first bet 5/1 pl 28/1 pl. the 40/1 shot just failed for a paying 4th. -£13.64. MTD -£19.64

A 3/1 Winner left us with a one point profit yesterday. Pick of the Morning prices at Musselburgh.. 12.27 3pts win Gipsy Lee Rose 4/1 13.27 5pts win Inox Allen 9/4 13.57 4pts win Summergrounds 11/4 Prices are from Betfred(Bog) taken at 9.00 a.m Sel/Wins: 33/7 P/L: - 2pts

Football results are still having a jolly good laugh at us and it looked like we were going to dip into a single figure win week until Division 5 saved the day and we came home with a total of 12. Half of those were odds-on wins but @Paperclip single-handedly halved our total loss with an outstanding 41.3 draw treble, made even more amazing as Exeter were 3 goals down at half time! Just 16 of us in profit with @Paperclip up top with a £300 margin and @daisychain on 3 out of 3 wins. Let's hope 2025 improves our luck!

A winner today brings a profit of 4.80. This makes my RC P/L incl L15's = 10.24 profit. My L15's balance remains at -.05 Whilst I realise I will need to make at least 15 entries for the Naps comp which means I will probably need to try and find a winner more than every other day to qualify for a prize, I will take a day off tomorrow and hopefully have more choice and PL info to look at on Saturday

Two for tomorrow and will be one more once the market settles... 12.57 Musselburgh Flawless Charity 9/2 2pt win 1.27 Musselburgh Innox Allen 3/1 2pt win 2.57 Musselburgh Lively Citizen 15/2 3pt win & 0.25pt e/w double on Flawless & Lively 7.5pts staked.

Happy new year all 🎊 Had a few decent runs lately over 200 so why not try and get close to 300. Requires a lot of luck but not impossible.

Haha, Ok, I can't remember that so I'll just have to try and reach 200

That’s what’s going on in the Premier League this weekend. There’s pretty much a full programme in terms of the UK though most of the National League teams are in FA Trophy action. It’s cup games in Spain barring a single La Liga game tonight, 7 Serie A games and a Super Cup semi in Italy, 8 Ligue 1 games and the Super Cup in France but a break for Germany. Portugal and Turkey are among the other countries with fixtures. So, unless, you’re a Bundesliga specialist, nothing to grumble about! Let’s see if we can sort a few winners out between us.

Yes I forget that some of the top scores on the table will have had many bets below 1.01 but it’s definitely possible, just maybe not at the rate I go at it at! I will throw in a few higher odds at the beginning but if I get to around 100 or so then will start being more selective with my bets and most will then be around 1.01. Good luck with the rest of your challenge, be interesting to see how far you can push it.

I did have a quick look but they weren't very good. It's on my to do list !

We are all different, I do well on the flat but struggle to make a profit over the jumps

To qualify for any prizes there must be a minimum of 200 selections. To qualify for the most winners prize there must be a minimum profit of £40.

Well, it's a boring day for me then. Flat racing (synthetic or turf) became a no-go for me quite a while ago now.

Hello All I love horse racing. I developed an AI assistant and am looking to learn from the group. I don't want to be banned, so I won't provide a link. All the best. CPW

6.30 Southwell: Bella Kopella @ 11/2 (WHill)

Very nice. Got a chance of a small double now on the 6.10

I'm also playing Wei to beat Waltert at 1.80 with Bet365 after watching Wei's previous round match. She should put Waltert under enough pressure, plenty of strength and I think she has a lot of talent, I already liked her at the end of the previous season in a couple of matches. Meanwhile, Eala has just lost the first set with even statistics, damn, fingers crossed for a comeback there!

Good luck All , I missed the Party this Month, but I will be back!🎲

3.02 Newcastle Brazilian Rose 12/1 hills

Alexandra Eala to beat Taylah Preston at 1.61 with Bet365 Eala hasn't broken through just yet, and the expectations now seem to be lower than ever. Her serve is still an issue, and there are plenty of problems in her game, but she's still a class above Preston, which is confirmed by the 2-0 H2H record between the two. Eala looked legit to me against Hartono as well.

New Year, new rules to simplify things for everyone. No more posting bets in US odds format. Also, no more posting in those “European” decimal odds. Long overdue post Brexit, all bets must be posted in fractional odds. Let’s revel in the glory of 5/2, 13/8, 85/40 etc. etc. the more fiddly the better! For the avoidance of doubt, I’m kidding but you raise a fair point that sometimes crosses my mind. My take has been that I’m not personally keen on the US odds format as it’s not “native” to my mindset and I have to do a conversion. The positive odds are easy enough, the amount is what 100 points would win you so +350 is 4.5. Just add 100 and divide by 100 but it’s easy enough to do “visually”. The negative odds are less intuitive, as it’s what you’d have to risk to win 100 points. -110 is effectively 100/110 or 1.909. Personally I’d prefer bets to be stated using decimal or fractional odds as that is what the majority of forum members “speak”, so if you’re a “bilingual” punter please post that way if it’s no extra effort. But I think it’s reasonable enough for someone who only relates to US odds to post that way rather than be obliged to convert them for our benefit and better to have them post their bets that way than not post at all. Of course, some readers may choose to ignore their contributions if they don’t feel inclined to do the conversion process. Only my view of course. @CzechPunter may be at the end of his tether with the practice and be about to issue a 3 strikes and you’re out edict as part of his new year resolution to impose order and discipline on the tennis forum!
