Anyone going to York on Saturday from the Wakey area.

Im off on my stag do and we have a few places spare on the coach if anyone is interested... but it will be a long day as we dont plan on coming back till after the football has finished.

Sounds a brilliant day, have fun.

Rovers off Levels @ 5/1 is of definite interest in view of the internationals.
Liable to just take us with the 16 handicap though, not been overly reliable of late to say the least.

Finished the World cup betting portfolio (for now)

Tomorrow (afternoon off work)
Mexico to beat S Africa @ 5/4 single

Mexico to beat S Africa @ 5/4
Uruguay to beat France @ 11/4 double

To win the tournament
Spain @ 4/1
Serbia e/w @ 66/1

Uruguay to win Group A @ 10/3
Serbia to win Group D @ 3/1

Golden Boot
Villa @ 8/1
Fabiano @ 12/1
Forlan @ 66/1
Di Natale @ 66/1
Suazo (now injured) @ 125/1
Barrios @ 125/1


Probably win nowt

Reckon you've got a great chance with those.

2/1 crusaders worth a tickle.

couple of world cup bets ive had

Brazil at 5/1 to win cup with stan james (get money back if spain win!, great offer that)

kaka at 40/1 for golden boot with william hills

off to york races saturday

No Robbie Paul, no Martin Ridyard.
Batley +8 looks very nice.

Uruguay 14/5 is a bit high for me.

France aren't up to much IMO and Uruguay have shown some respectable form of late.

Hull KR +14

Seen it +16 somewhere.

How many players you got out through the International and injury?

Was gonna do it myself but nervous as teams like Warringtom who throw the ball about are exactly the kind of teams that we get mullered by at present.

Everyone enjoy York if you're going. Call in (I just live off York Road in Leeds) if you're passing*


* what i mean is pick me up and take me

Can't see any +16 now. Generally 14, Skybet only 12.

Had a free bet to use on Blue Square, £11 to pick a outright World Cup winner so decided to go for Brazil. Only bad thing is the odds are a bit sh*tty compared to other firms, 17/4.

2:40 York – Win Elliptical @ Guaranteed Price (8/1)
2:05 York – Win Antigua Sunrise @ Guaranteed Price (10/1)
3:15 York – Win Swilly Ferry @ Guaranteed Price (11/1)

5 or 6

Fook off King

Can't see much that takes my eye tomorrow with the racing.

The flat looks much of a muchness, which is to be expected I supposed jammed between the English and Irish Derby weekends & also Royal Ascot.

Probably have another glance in the morning, as well as checking out Hexham and the Irish racing.

Did Wire -12pts with Skybet so ended up a happy bunny.

Couple of E/Ws that might have a chance at big prices.

York 2.40 General Eliott @ 33/1

York 3.15 Iver Bridge Lad @ 40/1

Main bet today Aucharlie in the 4:45 Hexham - well worth backing if you aren't already on take the 9/4 with Totesport. There's some very dodgy goings on with him and the yard/trainer/owner/horse generally.

Interesting

Just wondered what everyones views are on the Harry Findley affair?

Personally, I don't think the rules were intended to catch people who do what he did although I will admit I don't use Betfair so perhaps those who do will have more of an opinion?

Bit harsh

Its not like he only layed the horse not to win he backed it as well.

8/1 in the Racing Post betting forecast is way off the mark then.

Just had a look round and it looks like more evasive action. Totesport only 7/4 now. Skybet's 2/1 appears to be the best available.

Slightly harsh on Findlay. I don't like his big gobbed persona but at least he has some character unlike a lot of owners. From what I understand, he had backed the horse to win both times, but had simply 'hedged' his bets by playing a 'lay' bet at a smaller stake, purely as a back up incase the horse got beat to limit his losses.

Don't fancy anything today, and not going to convince myself to find something for the sake of it like I have in the past. Most of the races look like bookies benefits, with either impossible handicaps or horses that are priced on yards etc in races with little or no reliable form.

Royal Ascot, and Goldikova looks obvious banker material to build a warchest for the rest of the week.
