  1. Re: ICC World T20 2012 Taking one to win the tournament..... 1/10pts W. Indies to win World T20 - 13/2 with Coral I think this is a wide open tournament but this team offers some value. This is a squad loaded with talent like the others in the 'big 8' and they have plenty of match winners with both bat and ball in hand. Gayle can win a match on his own if he gets going and so too can Pollard whilst Marlon Samuels has shown enough form over the last 6 months to suggest he has some big innings inside him. Narine was brilliant in the IPL and Rampaul can control the ball as much as some of the best bowlers in the world when on-song. In Dwayne Bravo they have another very handy all-rounder. They are also a side that can put in horror shows but they are capable of beating both sides in their group (Australia and Ireland) and if this group gains confidence they'll be very tough to stop. There's a lot of players within this team with good IPL experience's behind them so adapting to the pitches shouldn't be a problem like it may be for others. At 13/2 i'll have a small bet on them.

  4. Re: Reading v Spurs > September 16th 4/10pts Tottenham to beat Reading - 11/10 with Stan James Yes, Spurs have struggled so far this season but I think this price is too big for what I consider a bet that should be 1.95 at most. This, for me, is where Spurs' season really starts because AVB has now had long enough to get his newest recruits up to speed. They have moved in to a new training complex so it will feel like a fresh start and after a break of a couple of weeks, I believe their squad will start to kick on from here. Looking through their team, their midfield should absolutely dominate the battle with players like Dempsey, Dembele and Sigurdsson all available to be selected to create and finish chances. Bale and Lennon should go well against average full-backs. If Adebayor comes in they should look a different side and then it is just a case of keeping possession well to silence the crowd. Reading have a great spirit within their squad but do lack quality and this is their first real test at home. They will no doubt have a go but, Pogrebnyak aside, they don't seem to have improved their squad a great deal since the end of last season. I fear for their midfield in this game because they could get torn apart if Spurs are on song. At odds against, I reckon Spurs are a good bet to record their first win of the season.

  5. Re: Norwich V West Ham > September 15th 5/10pts Both teams to score - 10/11 with Coral I think it is hard to call the winner of this match but think both teams are more than capable of unlocking the shaky defence of the opposition. Norwich have leaked goals in all kinds of areas this season and there's nothing to suggest that won't change in this game. Fulham hit 5 past them and they also gave goals away against QPR and Tottenham in matches where they got on the scoresheet themselves. The likes of Snodgrass, Holt, Jackson etc. will all create chances and are all capable of putting them away but the likes of Bassong, Turner and Garrido hardly inspire confidence at the back. They gave away goals when Lambert was here so although the personnel may have changed, the bad habits are still there. The Hammers have lost Carroll but Taylor, Nolan and Cole are all proven goalscorers at this level and the supply is there from people like Jarvis. They too have not been solid in defence so far and were awful at Swansea. They have kept clean sheets against Villa and Fulham but those attacks were toothless so didn't have a great deal of problems. Their weaknesses were exploited against Swansea and Norwich should go at them just as much here. It's unusual to see a Big Sam defence all over the place but I think he needs to do a lot more work this this group to stop them conceding sloppy goals. Both sides aren't convincing at the back yet both have dangerous players up top so think this price offers some value.

  6. Re: NFL: Week Two Picks Taking an early one incase the price goes. 3/10pts Ravens to beat Eagles - 6/5 with Coral I think the clear value is with the Ravens here after the starts that both teams had. Philadelphia could easily have lost their first game as their QB struggled for periods and in the end only pulled out a 1 point win. They are at home for this game but that hardly inspires confidence because they lost 6 of their 8 matches on home soil last term. They will obviously have the majority of the support but have hardly started the season well and that support could go quiet should Flacco get the Ravens moving. I watched Baltimore last week and was very impressed with their 'no huddle' plays. Flacco controlled the game from start to finish and that was with Rice looking as though he had another couple of gears to go through. Pitta and Boldin had good games, too. Baltimore recorded a few wins on the road last season and will have real hopes of reaching the Super Bowl this time. I think they're more than capable of taking another step towards that here.

  7. Re: BMW Italian Open (13-16 Sept) 1.5/10pts Each-Way T. Olesen to win - 18/1 with Coral (1/4 odds 1-5) I backed this lad not long ago in a higher class field and he put up a good show on a tougher course in more testing conditions. Here he comes with an even better chance but I still think he hasn't been priced short enough. He has 9 top 20 finishes so far this year and has shown well in a couple of majors so has proven form that a high percentage of this field do not. Last year he ended up 2nd after a final round 62 so he not only comes here as a far better player than in 2011, but he also has good memories of the course. Accuracy will be key here and he is ok in that department so I expect a good showing from this young gun. 1/10pts Each-Way G. Bourdy to win - 40/1 with William Hill (1/4 odds 1-5) The Frenchman has caught my eye in recent weeks after posting 3 top 20 finishes in his last 4 tournaments. He is a steady player who suits this course and in this type of field he can challenge because he knows how to win. Over the last couple of years here he has finished T11th and T22nd so can obviously play well. He doesn't often show flashes of brilliance to put in a stand-out round but he is good enough to get under par a few times and challenge for the title in this kind of form. 0.5/10pts Each-Way G. Storm to win - 100/1 with Bet365 (1/4 odds 1-5) This is a big, big price. Storm was out in front for a while last week and although his collapse may put people off, his first 3 rounds showed he is in good shape. He wasn't the only player to struggle on Sunday so his loss of the lead wasn't that dramatic in reality. He finished T7th here in 2010 and despite being way down the field last year, I think he can go well at this 3 figure price.

  8. Re: NFL: Week Two Picks 4/10pts Bears (+6 points) to beat Packers - 10/11 with Bet365 I was impressed by the Bears when I saw them last week and think this line is a little high. I thought Forte, Marshall and Bush were brilliant and when Cutler started to put the squeeze on the Colts in that 1st half they looked unstoppable. Yes, Cutler had a shaky start but he recovered from that well. Chicago definitely took their foot off the gas when they had the game in the bag so i'm not reading a great deal in to that period in the 2nd half when the Colts tried to take control. I saw a little of the Packers game the other night and thought their defence was nothing short of average. Rodgers is obviously still a big time player but if he isn't on top of his game again Cutler and his support will take the side apart. With the form of Cutler and the 3 previously mentioned Bears coming in to this, and the pressure on Green Bay to perform already, I think the Bears could cover this handicap and may even sneak the win. Even though this is a step up from facing the Colts, I'll take them plus a few points.

  9. Re: World Cup Qualfiers - Europe > Sept 11th 4/10pts Scotland to beat Macedonia - 4/5 with Coral This could be a tough game north of the border but I would back the home side to come out on top all the way down to around 1.72. Craig Levein is hopeful that Adam and McGregor will be passed fit and those are obviously key players to have on the park. I don't think the draw against Serbia was a bad result because, although they didn't play too great, holding that talented Serbia squad is not something that can be underrated. I thought they would face an uphill struggle to get in to contention for qualifying when the groups were drawn and that is no different now but the games against Macedonia and Wales are vital if they are to get anywhere near. The main reason for taking them to win is the form at home against similar sides over the last few seasons. The only teams they have lost to on home soil since 2009 are Spain and Holland and they have got results at home to Iceland, Macedonia, Liectenstein, Denmark, Czech Republic and some others. Macedonia did well in Croatia at the weekend so are not to be written off but I think games like this at home are what Scotland should be winning and they have proved over the past few years that they usually do just that. Hampden Park can be a daunting place to play football for an away side and I reckon Scotland will use that to their advantage tonight.

  10. Re: NFL: Week One Picks

    Glad it's edging towards a blowout win, as I was feeling a tad sore about the 2nd Ravens TD being given, despite replays showing it was an incomplete pass, and especially since the earlier AJ Green catch being ruled incomplete. Strategy for future weeks? Copy Mirage - beginner my rusty bullet hole
    :loon I think i've watched only 3 or 4 full games in a couple of years but always followed the results. I've only really used lst years results to base my selections on - with 3/3 so far so no reason to change.
  11. Re: NFL: Week One Picks 3/10pts Ravens (-7.5 points) to beat Bengals - 21/20 with Bet365 This should be an emotional night in Baltimore after the news that Art Modell passed away just recently. There are types of news that effects teams in different ways and I think this will be the type that really fires the team up even more than they already were. I have backed Baltimore for Super Bowl glory and have no problem taking them to cover this handicap in what could be a tight contest for large periods. I like the looks of the defence and with Flacco looking to step up again I think their offense could really improve. If he manages to get on a roll with this 'no huddle' game I think Cincinatti will struggle to keep up with the QB and the likes of Rice going forward. The Bengals did well against the lesser teams last year but lost on both occasions they met the Ravens and that can hardly be good for confidence. Baltimore's home record last year was superb and, whilst Cincinatti didn't have a terrible 2011, I favour the Ravens to get their season off to a great start in a highly emotional atmosphere.

  12. Re: NFL: Week One Picks Will take 2 this week. Using a much smaller 'stake per point' than I would on other sports as I have no experience of betting on NFL games. 4/10pts Bears (-9.5 points) to beat Colts - 19/20 with Bet365 Just looking at the prices for the season outrights suggests to me that these teams are far apart in terms of quality. The Colts will be using a rookie QB and for him it will be a massive step up from what he is used to. They come in to this campaign after a shocking 2011 and for a rookie to be given this role with a struggling team around him makes the task even harder. Chicago were 8-8 last seasons so hardly the most consistent side but they did score well at home and covered this line a few times. I have been reading that they've invested well in the off-season and with people tipping them as lively outsiders they look likely to have a better year than 2011. I think this more settled side will prove too much for a struggling team with an inexperienced QB so will back them to get their season off to a good start. 3/10pts Jets (-2.5 points) to beat Bills - 10/11 with Coral I've wrote my reasons about taking this in an earlier post but wil quickly re-cap them. The Jets had a good home record last year and beat the Bills both times the sides met. Bills were awful on the road and there's nothing I've seen so far that suggests that will change. Both teams had poor pre-seasons so neither has the upper hand in that area and, although he has been inconsistent, I'm willing to take a chance on Sanchez having a good game if he starts. Should be a close game and will take the Jets to edge it.

  13. Re: Boxing > September 7-9 3/10pts L. Matthysse to beat Ajose Olusegun by TKO, KO or DQ - 6/5 with William Hill I saw Matthysse fight on the Ortiz/Lopez card and was very impressed by what I saw. This lad can punch and his all-out style is pleasing to watch. Since that fight I have watched his encounters with Judah and Alexander and I think he should have been given the decision on both of those occasions but that is irrelevant as far as this fight is concerned. What that view does tell me though, is that the Argentinian is a class above his opponent and a record of 29 stoppages in 31 wins is very good to read. He hits hard, puts pressure on and can move too. I don't know a great deal about Olusegun and that is reflected by my stake. His record is impressive at first glance but he hasn't really fought anyone with anywhere near the ability as the people Matthysse has challenged. He isn't as used to fighting on big occasions in the States as the South American is and, from what I read, isn't great to watch. If he doesn't move too well he'll just end up a big, sitting target for Matthysse to unleash his power on. This is a massive step up in terms of quality for Olesegun and I feel the Argentine will take this opportunity to raise his profile now he is the main attraction on the card. Once again, a low stake because I haven't seen too much of Olusegun but I think this is too big a price for a man who I think can knock anyone in this division out. Evens is on offer elsewhere and I think that is probably correct.

  14. Re: World Cup Qualifiers > Europe - Sep 7/8 5/10pts England to win to nil - 19/20 with ToteSport I think this game will be tougher than some expect but I still expect an England win. Moldova have had trouble scoring in recent times and their relatively unknown players should have the same problems against a well drilled Roy Hodgson side. England looked solid in Euro 2012 - like all Hodgson sides - and the loss of Cole won't be felt too much against a team of this quality because Baines is more than capable. Moldova have given some sides a good test in competitive games on their own patch and I think England may struggle to break them down with little creativity in the middle. However, we should have enough to get the 3 points and I favour taking them to do it whilst keeping a clean sheet than taking them on the handicap. I'd back this down to 1.8ish so I think it's a good price.

  15. Re: NFL: Week One Picks Had a look through the card for this weekend and have picked out the Jets -2.5 (at 10/11 with Hills) to beat the Bills. Both have had bad pre-seasons in terms of win-loss record's but Jets were the team on top last season. They beat the Bills both times they met and had a 6-2 home record which looks good when compared to the 1-7 away record of Buffalo. I read that Sanchez isn't a great QB and has Tebow breathing down his neck but there is potential there and he can blow hot rather than always cold/warm. I haven't backed anything and may see other bets but, any thoughts?

  16. Re: NFL 2012 Antepost Betting Thanks for those replies guys. I did put a small stake on each (just before the opener started) so these were a bit too late to change my mind. However, they have helped me see what other things to look out for. I think I'll learn more with a bit of involvement in a couple of sides so a small loss on both wouldn't bother me.

  19. Re: BMW Championship (Thur 6th-9th Sun) Anyone who has a solid all-round game and is solid on and around the greens should go well here this week. There isn't a great deal to write this week to be honest. 1.5/10pts Each-Way L. Donald to win - 25/1 with SkyBet (1/4 odds 1-5) Donald is a proven winner on the PGA tour so there's no problems with him in terms of possibly blowing up should he get himself in to contention. This course should suit his game as it doesn't play too far so keep the ball on the fairway and the greens are aren't unreachable. Donald specialises in doing exactly that and his ability around the greens should see him carding plenty of birdies. 1/10pts Each-Way J. Furyk to win - 50/1 with SkyBet (1/4 odds 1-5) Jim Furyk is another solid ball striker and a good putter so could do well. He's had a solid year as he's been around the top of the leaderboard a few times. Like Donald, he'll find the greens regularly because of his accuracy so will be in with good chances of posting low scores. 0.5/10pts E. Els to win - 80/1 with Stan James (1/4 odds 1-5) I think this is a big price for Ernie. He's not as consistant as he once was but has bags of experience and has still got the touch with the putter. He showed at The Open that he can still put in hot streaks and I think he is a lively contender for the title.

  20. Re: NFL 2012 Antepost Betting I always like to try out a new sport betting-wise and this season I hope to take more than a on-off interest in NFL. I won't post a great deal of picks but want to watch more games and have a bit of interest in the Super Bowl winner market. I'm going to stake a lot smaller than my usual bets as I suppose I don't know enough to involve the sport in my usual betting methods. The couple that have caught my eye are Baltimore and San Francisco. I don't understand why Baltimore are a big price (20/1). They narrowly lost the AFC Championship final to a team who are only as big as 13/2 so surely the Ravens offer value? They may have to come across New England again but all teams may have to deal with them or Green Bay. The 49ers had a great regular season record and got to the NFC Championship final so I think they could be a good little bet at 14/1. They came close to the Super Bowl match last year so surely have a good chance of going further this time around? I don't know a great deal about the teams other than the basic stuff I've read but just looking at lat seasons results makes me think these prices are ok. Any views from the more clued up NFL fans?
