Couple from my tracker. 3.10 Muss - Creative Control - 7/2 Bet365 - Was given a very tender ride LTO, never even pushed let alone driven by claiming jockey. Brian Hughes takes over and trainer Donald McCain is in fair form (10 wins from last 42 runners) 7.20 Wolv - Mobashr - 9/2 with various firms. - Was severely eased when beaten LTO to finish 9th of 10, but only beaten just over 4 lengths. Main danger looks to be Karl Burkes Tothenines who wears 1st time cheekpieces.

Lingfield 13:25 The Knot Is Tied 10./1 EW Bet365

A horse having his first NH run for more than a year is Flat White in the 1.55 at Lingfield. He showed promise in his previous 3 attempts over hurdles. Since that last hurdle run he has won two flat races and finished placed in another seeing his mark rise from 58 to 71, hus hurdle mark has actually dropped a pound to 104, its not a given thing that improvement shown on the flat automatically corresponds with improvement over hurdles but the form of his last hurdle race has worked out well, the winner hasnt run since but the second went on to finish third to Dashel Drasher in a Class 2 race while the 3rd home that day won a Class 3 Nov Handicap Hurdle next time up and the 5th horse home also won next time up, Flat White was sandwiched between the 3rd and 5th that day. Currently drifting around the 5 mark, I'll also back in the place market nearer the off, win and place bet.....6.0 and 1.86 to lace taken...........traded to 1.75 in running before fading, finishing 5th. An hour later in the 2.55 at Lingfield Breaking Waves has shown improved for of late having dropped a waydown the weights. Winning a Class 4 earning a 9lb rise that stopped him winning next time out in a higher grade of race, the winner went in again next time up, back into a clsss4 here, still off a mark slightly lower than he has won off in the past should see him with a decent chance today. Drifting on betfair at the moment around the 6.4 mark, I'll also back in the 3Tbp market nearer the off.......6.2 and 1.97 taken......traded to 1.56 in running before finishing 3rd, place money only. Good luck whatever you play today.

Japan vs Croatia Japan's chances of progressing beyond round 16 became evident in their last group-stage match against Spain. The Japanese grabbed a 2-1 winner in the game after coming from 1-nil down. Despite scoring early in the game in the 11th minute, Spain couldn't score another. A dramatic second half saw Japan score twice to progress to round 16. Croatia is a familiar foe, so expect another great performance from the Japanese in this game. A pair of wins against Germany and Spain boosted Japan's confidence, and they will try to produce another upset against the World Cup 2018 runners-up. Croatia is on the radar of everyone watching the 2022 World Cup. Will they go all the way to the finals as they did in 2018? The Checkered Ones reached this far in the 2022 World Cup on five points from the group stage. They may have failed to score in two of the three group-stage matches, but one thing stands out. Croatia is prepared defensively to take on high-pressing teams like Japan. However, the lack of reliable goal scorers is something we have witnessed and expect the Croatian coach, Zlatko Dalic, to address at this point. Ivan Perisic brings a lot to the national team with his experience, and he might be a crucial guy for Vatreni in this match. Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction It is going to be a close game, and Japan shouldn't be underestimated in this encounter. Therefore, this match might go to extra time or eventually to the penalty shootout. Goals Market Prediction The Samurai can cause many issues to the opponent's defense with their quick transitions. On the other hand, Croatia has a lot of experience, and we might see goals in both nets. Draw @ 3.35 BTTS Yes @ 2.05 Correct score 1:1 @ 6.50

A welcome winner after a very poor run with Teahupoo winning at 20/1 Total 28 from 153, LSP 4.07

Won BSP 2.00 Profit £19.60 Monthly profit £15.60

I've performed a detailed analysis for November and this continues to be profitable, with an AE of 1.07. There were 220 winners from 1,790 runners. However at level stakes there was a loss of 299 points so you would have been advised to avoid the longer odds. Those at forecast odds above 11/1 returned 19 wins from 784 selections and a loss of 437 points. Those at shorter odds recorded 200 winners from 1,004 runners and a profit of 138 points. The returns for those races where there is only 1 selection are even better, with an AE of 1.13. Again it would have been better to stick with those at shorter odds. Those at odds less than 8/1 returned 32 wins from 91 selections and a profit of 32 points compared to those at longer odds which recorded 3 wins from 97 selections and a loss of 72 points.

It's so close this year, i think any from 10 teams could win it. Certainly makes for exciting viewing.

Bloody nfl accas are killing me, lol. Everytime I try a team on a run, they get beat, lol. Eagles have one defeat, ,guess when I bet them? Them it was ravens, then minnesota (got beat by about 40 points) and last night Chiefs. Have Bills to win the whole thing, although hope Dolphins win it.

Yes, I certainly think backing this game to go into extra-time is worthwhile so maybe the draw after 90 minutes at 12/5 with Betfred is another sound pick.

Don't apologise. All about opinions. Croatia are favourites for a reason. I just feel that given Japan have already upset the odds twice this tournament they are worth the risk. What a story it would be!

And all the best to you, may the racing gods merit you many more winners than me this Christmas, I will settle for more in the new year. ?

The penultimate day of games in the last 16 is coming up on Monday and it's a couple of games that have contradicting vibes about them. Japan versus Croatia is a match that might've looked a given for Croatia going into the tournament but this is a Japanese team that has already beaten both Germany and Spain. The resolve shown by Hajime Moriyasu during that final game to seal top spot in their group was unreal and makes me feel they could be worth backing here. Zlatko Dalic's men looked very under-cooked in their group games against Morocco and Belgium but those impotent displays sandwiched a 4-1 demolition of Canada. I can see why Croatia are the favourites to progress but I think they'll need extra-time or even penalties to do it. Japan are certainly worth the value though and, as a football romantic, I can't resist that. I've been very impressed by them this tournament especially when they are written off. Unfortunately, my boy Takefusa Kubo is a doubt after missing training so I won't be able to place an anytime scorer bet on him! Kubo! Kubo! Kubo! It's Brazil taking on South Korea in the second game and you have to say it seems obvious to back Tite's side. They remain my favourites to win the competition and they are boosted by the news that Neymar is fit to return. Even without Neymar, I feel Brazil have a strong enough squad to get past this South Korean side who have been inconsistent at best. Paulo Bento's men are only at this stage thanks to Hwang Hee-chan's injury-time winner over an apathetic Portugal in their final group match that saw Uruguay eliminated. I think we'll see a similar outcome to the France and England victories here with Brazil getting the job done with minimal fuss.

Brazil vs South Korea Brazil won't want a repeat of their last result here after a 1-0 WC22 loss in their previous game against Cameroon. They have been impressive in the final third in each of their three group games, and their winning margin could have been wide if not for some brilliant saves from the opposition goalkeepers. Richarlison, Vinicius, and Raphinha were a constant threat in the final third in the first two games before resting in the 1-0 defeat to Cameroon. They should be ready for the upcoming match, and we won't be surprised if one of them scores at Stadium 974 on Monday evening. Now, Brazil should forget about their latest defeat and start a pursuit of the World Cup trophy. Korea Republic comes into this clash following a 2-1 WC22 win against Portugal in their previous game. The South Korean unit was on the brink of elimination. Still, a miraculous ending to their game against Portugal extended their stay in Qatar, creating one of the most memorable moments in World Cup history. Hee-Chan Hwan entered the pitch in the 66th minute and scored in the injury time to deliver euphoria back home. This was a reward for Korean brave football displayed a this World Cup. They've scored four goals, allowing the same number. They now face one of the toughest rivals in the tournament, and we will see if they are capable of stunning Brazil. Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction Brazil is a firm favorite in this match, and we don't believe the South American team will allow a surprise. They should beat South Korea by at least two goals. Goals Market Prediction Interestingly, all three of Brazil's matches stayed under a 2.5 margin so far, but they could have been much more efficient. That shouldn't happen this time, and we expect to see at least three goals in this encounter. Brazil AH -1.5 @ 1.90 Over 2.5 FT @ 1.85 Correct score 3:0 @ 7.00

Thriston the Piston delivers the goods. Well done @fd1972uk on another top win.

Join the club ? i did same last month.

Gary Wilson to beat Joe O'connor at 1.72 with Unibet Think I'm gonna try my luck with Gary today. He's not a bad player O'connor but I just think Wilson has it in him to win a title.

Japan at 3.80 and even more DNB at 2.60 is total value in my eyes. They managed to stand face to face with Germany and Spain so I don't know why they are such underdogs against average Croatia , to me Japan should even be small favorites.

Glad I resisted too was very confident of another goal with it being 3rd vs 16th but red card killed them
