Hi Johnny1992. Punterslounge would like to buy the points from you and offer some tickets up as a prize back to the community. If you're comfortable with this, please drop me a DM so we can arrange it. We would also like to send you some PL merch as a thank you!

Unless you're living under a rock, you'll be aware that the US Presidential Election is just 8 weeks away. Personally cannot fathom how Trump remains so popular, but for some reason... he is! I hope to read some quality swing state betting market insight from anyone who knows better than me! Smarkets has some really interesting graphics on the US Election. The whole thing basically rests on Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada and Georgia

Disappointing end of the Test summer for England, but hopefully a wake up call! Sri Lanka were brilliant at the Oval. Looking forward to the Aussie ODIs

Well that was punishing for anyone that took the Bengals

My customary week 1 acca is on. Watch 12 come in Colts +3.0 Bengals -8.0 Giants +1.5 Bears -4.0 Broncos +6.0 Raiders +3.0 Bucs -3.5 Lions -3.5 Steelers +3.0 Jags +3.5 Panthers +4.0 Cardinals +6.5 Cowboys +2.5

Oof that is rough

Best price out there on the outright is the Denver Broncos for me (125/1 with Bet365). Probably a better bet to simply make the playoffs (6/1 with QuinnBet) - I see them as a 9 win team this season (the over on wins is 5.5 - absolute banker for me), which may be enough for a wildcard birth. Some other factors to bear in mind. 1) Playing at altitude at Mile High is no joke. 2) They have 10 games that are currently slated as 4 point spreads either side. Essentially, toss of a coin results ahead of the season. 3) First game vs Seattle will be telling. They are 6 point dogs, but I think this is way off and they pretty evenly matched 4) Sean Payton is a winner. In those tight spread games, this could be critical. 5) Kansas wins this division. Fully expect the Raiders to implode at some point and the Chargers will be erratic and their offence is significantly weaker this season than last... and the Broncos still managed 8 wins last year with a marginally tougher strength of schedule AND with a pair of QBs who did not fit in to a Payton offense at all well. 6) Rookie QB is probably what is pushing the Broncos prices up, but they've obviously drafted Bo Nix because he does fit a Payton offense... so let's see! In short - BRONCOS OVER 5.5 WINS - the house at 10/11, BRONCOS TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS - 2pts at 6/1 and a cheeky EW pound at 125/1 with strong laying potential as the season unfolds (they'll never beat the Chiefs in a championship game)

Pretty much every skill position on offence (bar the QB) will sit out a number of plays. Most teams will split RB carries to differing degrees, using bigger lumps at goal line situations. Always good value there. Also, full backs are generally used for blocking purposes, but will get one or two touches per game on short yardage plays - quite handy for touchdowns - see Kyle Juszcyzk for the 49ers, for instance. For WRs, as the season progresses, track how defences measure up vs slot receivers - these guys tend to be the 3rd choice WRs/speedsters for most teams, so will have longer odds, but be handy against defences who struggle in the slot and yards after the catch and/or have a shutdown corner on their team covering the offence's top WR(s). Also look for offences who deploy 2 TEs regularly on short yard goal line plays. Buccaneers, for instance, will always have good value for Cade Otton/Ko Kieft on TD scores - particularly if defending corners covering Evans and Godwin are solid

Hi all, There are a bunch of new bookmakers to open in recent months and before we look to back them on the website, we'd like to get any feedback our members have on their experiences - good and bad - to date with the following: 7bet Casimpo Bet442 MyriadPlay Sports Broker Metropolitan Gaming Online Betano Neptune Play Gentleman Jim DragonBet Cheers, Tom

Bit late in spotting this, but take a look at BTE Analytics @makesomedollars

What's everyone saying here then? I personally think it goes the distance and reckon the judges will give it to Fury. Not great value in that and I can see a knockdown apiece, which is 9/1 with bet365.

Scheffler still 3rd fav in-running, despite the trauma of his arrest. Would be up there with the greatest major wins of all time if he pulls it off?

Angus Loughran would be another great one @Simon Nott

Great stuff Simon. We're looking forward to seeing the interview when it comes out! Big fan of the Patrick Veitch series in particular. Trying to think of who you have not yet interviewed. A few names for you... Paul Louis, Jon Thompson (not sure he'd do it!), Steve Donoughue (would be great content), Per Widerstrom, Jesper Soegaard/Christian Rasmussen, Paris Smith, Tim Heath.

Come on Love Envoi... drifting to 11s, but no bother!

Message to those who have taken up the great welcome bonus offer from BetMGM ahead of Cheltenham. We have heard that they have been experiencing site/app issues since the first race. They're working hard to resolve the issues... not ideal

Hi all, Curious to know if anyone has given StocksFC a try. They reached out to explore advertising with us and the concept is obviously akin to (cough cough) Football Index - the fact that it's all blockchain related weirdly gives me confidence. Keen to know if anyone has any user experiences they can share. TomG

Cardinals +4 vs the Giants is the value for me. The Giants were woeful Week 1. Whilst I expect them to bounceback, possibly with a narrow win, the Cardinals did push the Commanders all the way in week 1

bet365 is the one for me frankly, though I'm becoming increasingly impressed with what Boylesports are doing
