Speedway---The play-offs -- Sky tonight, and 11th of Oct.

[BritPete]

Hi, I have not posted for a while, my last two attempts went badly wrong when Wolverhampton let me down twice! I have had a great run this season, but, it seems when I put them on here sods law takes over, I will try again next season though. Wolverhampton v Poole Play- off's first leg 5/6 Skybet (outright winner) live on Sky tonight, second leg next monday. Wolves really messed me up earlier, but now I think I can get my revenge. They could well get a win tonight, but, overall, Poole have to be considered as the most likely winners. Wolves had some bad luck when Simon Stead was injured recently, if he had been riding tonight, Wolves would have have stood a better chance, and now they have to hope that their off-form reserve Chris Neath can revert to his early season form. Poole on the other hand have had an enormous stroke of luck, their top rider Ryan Sullivan was hurt in the GP at the weekend, guest riders can only be used for a teams top man in the averages, and Sullivan, after a very poor season, has, somehow, managed to get top spot for the first time this season--by a couple of decimal points--! Poole fans will be more than happy with this, because such are the rules of speedway this year, they can bring in Leigh Adams, who happens to be number one in the overall averages! Sullivan is around 15th! This improves Poole's chances dramatically, they can even afford to lose by a few tonight, safe in the knowledge that they are capable of pulling it back on their own track next week. Also, for the home leg, Poole it seems have booked the flying American, and ex world champion and current number three in the world, Greg Hancock! It all seems to be going the way of the defending champions Poole, and, as long as they can avoid a hammering tonight, there is little doubt in my mind that they will prevail. And the 5/6 offered by skybet seems VERY good value indeed, I just hope sods law does not interfere this time! best of luck if you back them!

Damn Absolutely typical! in the time it took to write that post, Skybet have reduced the odds to 1.61! they must have just found out that Adams is riding! Will Hill have them at 1.66 though!
