Friday's loser Lingfield 12.40 San Juan 8/1

Damn picked the wrong one Atomic hacks up sorry guys?

I'm torn between a draw and a Chelsea win here. I do feel Graham Potter has been hard done by with injuries but the results don't lie. Aleksandar Mitrovic missing for Fulham is a big factor and if he was playing I would even have been tempted to back a home win at 16/5 with SpreadEx. I still feel Chelsea haven't been as bad as their results suggest but poor finishing and a lack of quality available right now is holding them back. I'm going to stick with backing a draw at 5/2 with Bet365.

There's been alot of centuries in the first round but I think in general, the quality has been abysmal. Some shocking performances. Hopefully now we're in the 2nd round there will be abit more composure and better play. All starts with a huge match as Williams takes on Ronnie. Winner of this has Lioswski or Vafaei so every chance the winner makes the final really. It's a great opportunity. I think the best way to go in this match is the centuries. Williams has a good chance today if he performs like he did for the first couple of frames against Gilbert but both players won easily and hit 2 centuries each and so 3+ centuries in this match has every chance at 5/2. 4pts 3+ centuries (Williams Vs O'Sullivan) 5/2 paddypower

If your stuck one below although Kensland might have something better? In the 1.05 Catt Last years winner JESSIEMAC 8/1 looks to have a good e/w chance of 3lb lower. Needs to bounce back from recent poor form but may have been kept for this again. Atomic Angel looks like the main danger.

Lack of knowledge mostly I just thought Stevenage were on a bit of a run near the top of their league, and Villa not great and maybe concentrating on staying up in the Prem. And there's always at least one upset. After I'd picked it Radio 5 were talking about how Emery is known as a cup specialist, so I thought I had no chance!

You've got to love cup week! Only 14 winners and most of those singles. Bet of the week goes to @avongirl with a 16/1 single thanks to Stevenage, and best multiple bet goes to @Advisor and a 6/1 treble. Division 4 romped away with the overall performance as the only Division to make a profit. I'm at the top of the tree but @andellio @Advisor and @Artie77 are also close to doubling their bank after 2 wins. Only 6 players with 100% record of 2 wins on the board. Well done to anyone who found a winner.

0-1 FT. Home side were 1/6 before the match so shock result there. 126 decent run but that is still over 100 short of my 232 best , try again soon. £60.00 profit from this run.

The perfect ending. Century number 3 and Williams through to the Semi Final. Lovely.

Chelmsford. Double. 5.30. Hurt you Never 7/2 unpl 7.00. Asdaa 7/2 1st singles & double. Good luck all.

With our luck going our it is a t moment at bit of light relief to pass the afternoon away Lyon 3.27 loki 14/1 4.02 tornaldo 18/1 5.45 the iconist 16/1 6.45 ante post 11/1 10p e/w lucky 15 bet365 lets hope for a winner ???

Fulham vs Chelsea Fulham currently have a four-match winning run. Chelsea have gone three games without a victory because of a lot of injured players. Fulham have not defeated Chelsea in their previous ten meetings, giving Chelsea the psychological advantage. As Fulham are in form while Chelsea are in a poor state, it is time for Fulham to revenge. Pick: 1 O/U Pick: Over 2.5

Cheers ted done ?

I can honestly say i cant find 1 horse to back tomorrow. Maybe @Tedthewolf or @kensland would like a go if not i am sure one of you have a second choice.

Apologies to those (and there were many), who I subjected to bad beats tonight. I was playing a few tourneys simultaneously and some of my decisions were made in a bit of a rush. I couldn't see who was throwing them but at one point I was being pelted with virtual 'horseshoes' from all directions

that's the song by Paul Hardcastle and that is how many leg you need to win with 2.50 roll up at Evens to win over a million been testing this idea now for several week but only with pennies trying to find which way to go to limited damage anyway tried several staking plans to maximize the profit and getting just over evens some times so lets give this the kiss of death Bet365 1.50 Newcastle Calcutta Dream and Mister Falsetto jollies and rags @1.57 Bet365 6.00 Chelmsford No Saint and Artic Blast and Lets Fly Away jollies and rags @ 1.53 £2.50 DBL then £2,50 DBL again as one is for the roll up not expecting much and one for level stake that's all folks well that went down like a lead balloon

To avoid this being accused of a closed shop it probably makes sense to take the 1st 4 posts as the L15.

Decent run, well done! ?

I did find a tentative one in the end- Vertical in the 730 at chelmsford but it is very speculative. Quite happy for @Tedthewolfto carry on until the end of the month if he fancies it.

Just looking at the evening match and I'm going with Lisowski (-1.5 frames) to beat Vafaei. Has a really strong head-to-head record against Vafaei having won the last 5 in a row and won the last 3 4-0, 6-4 and 6-2. He was rubbish early on against Higgins but once he took the lead then he came into his own. This is Vafaei's debut at The Masters and despite winning well in Round 1 and defeating Selby, I feel like his performance will have to be just as good to beat Jack. 5pts Lisowski (-1.5 frames) to beat Vafaei 4/5 paddypower

Go on Mark. One more. 5-4 up now

Game on at 4-4. Some beautiful snooker from Williams last couple of frames. Such a shame 10 short of a century. 90 break.

Williams back into the game with a brilliant 143. 2 down, 1 to go on the centuries.

On reflection it is better to watch the outcome of this race than play the favourite here. Seven pounds is half a stone. Too much to conceed on this ground against winning pointers. There may be an alternative selection later but you have to go with the weights here. One of these was a 99 length winner over points. Three viable alternatives here so despite the favourite's good profile I have seen these go down under the penalty many times. No bet at present. Here we go..... Catterick 1230 NO BUT I WILL Win / without Broomfield Present @ 7/4 NO BUT I WILL win @ 9/2 Didn’t find the ground as soft as the advertised going when a beaten favourite at haydock last time. In receipt of half a stone can do better here. Wide margin points winner.

Catterick first race BROOMFIELD PRESENT Win Has to give weight away, but did it well on debut over an inadequate trip. Did not appreciate the shorter trip and was crying out for further but did it well enough when asked to go on at the last. Showed versatility to switch when hampered more than once and was not fazed by the attention. As a winning pointer readily gets three miles and last run was November so should be fresh and ready to take on this trip in this ground. Unless I'm getting my lines crossed was pulled up in a point to point up against Jonbon. Bailey and Bass a good combination and could well prove to be the catch of the day.

No big prices but 2.15 Catterick - Copshill Lad 7/4 8.00 Chelmsford City - Comedian Leader 1/1 Good luck all CNBB.

Fulham to beat Chelsea Chelsea looks like a team without a direction at the moment and were knocked out of the cup at the weekend very tamely at Manchester City losing 4-0. They are 10th in the league 10 points off a Champions League place for next season and with a couple of tricky Champions League round of 16 ties to come against Borussia Dortmund. They have managed just 1 win in their last 7 games in all competitions, a 2-0 home win against Bournemouth. Fulham on the other hand are enjoying a great season in 7th place in the table 3 points ahead of Chelsea. Since the return to league football after the break for the World Cup they have won all 4 games (3 League, 1 FA Cup) played scoring 8 and conceding 1 and in Mitrovic have a forward in top form. Head-to-head favour Chelsea who are on a 21 game unbeaten run stretching back to 2006, but I think Fulham will not have a better chance of ending that run against a Chelsea side low on confidence and suffering a bad injury crisis with the likes of James, Fofana, Kante and Chilwell to name just 4 all unavailable

Fulham vs Chelsea Following on from their previous result, Fulham will be hoping for more of the same after the 2-0 FA Cup victory over Hull City. It was the Cottagers' fourth straight win in all competitions after being successful in the Premier League three times in a row. They have claimed a sum of 10 during that period and have conceded a total of five. Nonetheless, we will have to wait and see whether that trend will be sustained here in this game. Going into this encounter, Fulham has not beaten Chelsea in their previous 20 matches in the league. A shocking run, it really is. Nevertheless, the hosts are full of confidence, and they hope to break that terrible streak on Thursday evening. Since being defeated in their last game at the hands of Manchester City in FA Cup action, Chelsea and their traveling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one. It is not the only concern for the Blues since they sit in a disappointing 10th place in the Premier league table. They celebrated only one win in the previous eight rounds, and the away side is far from Champions League qualification. The Blues have had trouble finding the back of the opponent's net this season, while their defense has not been tight enough. Chelsea boss Graham Potter has a number of players out of action. Edouard Mendy (Shoulder Injury), Christian Pulisic (Knee Problems), Raheem Sterling (Hamstring Injury), Ben Chilwell (Hamstring Injury), Wesley Fofana (Knee Injury), Reece James (Knee Injury), N'Golo Kanté (Hamstring Injury), and Armando Broja (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) miss out here. Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction The momentum is on Fulham's side, and although they are slight underdogs, we think they can do well in this game. Therefore, we will support them to remain undefeated against the London rival. Goals Market Prediction Fulham has been involved in many high-scoring games this season, and that trend might continue. We believe both teams should be able to find the back of the rival's net in this encounter. Fulham AH +0.5 @ 1.78 BTTS Yes @ 1.72 Correct score 1:1 @ 6.80

A brief update this week. Envious Editor won the first hunter chase of the season and has been put in the betting for Cheltenham, but Aintree is his target and although the trainer has surprised with entries in the past I would be surprised if he turned up here. I have been told that Bob And Co is now being trained in France and whilst that doesn't rule him out of running in this you would think it unlikely. Onto Ireland and a horse called Rocky's Howya made it 4/4 in points at the weekend. He didn't achieve a great deal over hurdles with a couple of 2nd places the best he managed. After a year off though he seems a different horse as he has gone through the grades and his win at Aghabullogue was his best yet. His trainer after the race said he wouldn't rule Cheltenham out although he still needs to qualify. He isn't currently in the betting, but he clearly should be given this has been given as a possible target. Chatham Street Lad is a general 20/1 shot for Cheltenham after he won at Ballindenisk on New Years Day. He had been only 4th on his pointing debut the previous month at the same track which was his first run since the 2021 Betfair Chase. His trainer said he had come on a lot for that run and it showed as he won well. After the race though the trainer only mentioned about running him in points so no mention of Cheltenham at this stage. He also needs to qualify.

The first event of 6 that make up this years World Series Of Darts. We're in Sakhir, Bahrain. These kind of events are primarily made up to get more exposure of Darts around the world but once again I'm not sure that any of the 8 asian opponents make it through to the Quarter Finals. Certainly not further than that. That means we have a simple bracket of 8 players that I'll be taking one from the top and one from the bottom half. Quite simply it's a value game and although Smith can come and win this without any issue, he is now at 5/2 to win this event. No thank you. In the other half Price comes into this event after going out of The Worlds lamely but he did go and win an event that included MVG and Wright since then. He could be more fired up to go and win this one. 4/1 though. Once again, no thank you. That leaves me with 2 little value picks and that is Humphries and Rob Cross. I won't go each-way because Humphries biggest test is actually in the semi final in my eyes and not the final. Cross has Peter Wright, who has question marks under his form and then Price/Clayton. You could say that the same with Price. Perhaps Clayton would be the better value. However, with Cross winning the last 2 h2hs and looking half decent recently, I'll side with him. 2pts L.Humphries to win Bahrain Masters 7/1 paddypower 2pts e/w R.Cross to win Bahrain Masters 10/1 paddypower

Yeah, did not see The Commanders beating The Cowboys like that. New Orleans Saints disappointing only scoring 7 pts at home to the Panthers. In a tight game two missed field goal attempts were key. Seahawks scrape the overtime victory. Well done to @tschurchy in successfully landing the overs double.
