I put King of Bavaria in my tracker after backing it last time (40/1).
Ex Aiden O'Brien, finished 7/10 in a class 1 listed, 10 days ago but only got beat just over 2 lths after racing wide then having to briefly snatch up final furlong. Would of finished a lot closer with a bit more luck in running.

3rd run for new stable, Michael Appleby in a little bit of form, 2 winners from 6 over the last 2 days and it's a fair old journey for just one entry.

Bet365 the only ones still going 5/1, the rest are mainly 4/1. I'm calling in on my way home tomorrow and backing it.

Cheers mate. Yes, big drifter out to 16/1 at one point. Finished 2nd at 14/1, only beaten 3/4 L to a very good favourite. I've got a bit of place money to pick up, at least.

A small trixie

Everton @ 13/8
Hereford @ 21/10
Boston @ 11/10

Hereford put in their worst performance of the season last Saturday, losing at home to mid table Curzon Ashton, but then went to top of the table AFC Fylde on Tuesday night and put in their best performance of the season and won 1-3.

Some of our better players were left out for the loss but all returned for the away win.
No injury worries today and another good performance expected. A decent price for the away win at over 2/1.

Hereford won but no return.

I could do with some of my mates luck. He sent me this after the final whistle today...




He's had a few near misses with bet builders lately but imagine winning a bet like this. He thought the bet was dead with only Casemiro and Joelinton booked but then this happened...



Unbelievable!

I'm bringing the dick dance bet back, for a couple of weeks...



Use this is if you have 7 selections you are about to put onto your Football coupon and put in a single accumulator.

NUMBER YOUR SELECTIONS, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

The bet is a permutation of groups of four, and indeed Yankees in this instance. A Yankee consists of 11 bets. 6 doubles, 4 trebles and a four-fold. We will play 7 yankees across the seven selection.

1236, 1245, 1357,1467, 2347, 2567, 3456

This is where the one or two always let me down bit comes in. If you were let down on two teams in this bet, but still got five right, this permutation will guarantee that four of the five right would fall together to return a complete Yankee. If its a case of just the one that got away, then you will land at least three Yankess fully completed. In both cases, with just the one or two letting you down, in addition to the full yankees you will have landed, there will be plenty of doubles and trebles elsewhere in the bets that you will collect on.

Even if you get three selections incorrect, there is a chance the four you get right will sit together and complete a Yankee for you.

Even with just three or two winners, consolations prizes will ensure you get something if not your full stake back depending on the prices and where they sit in the permutation.




To help me build this bet i've given myself bet types to find, which will cover my love of both football and racing betting for the weekend...

1. Odds On (Football 1X2) -


2. Evs to 2/1 (Football 1X2) -


3. 2/1 or more (Football 1X2) -


4. Draw -


5. Any Football Bet -


6. Horse - Any Price -


7. Horse – 9/2 or more -


Stakes will be..
7 x 0.20 yankees + 7 added 0.30 accy's (1236, 1245, 1357,1467, 2347, 2567, 3456)
7 x 0.25 six folds
1 x 0.75 Accy

Total Stake 20.00


Selections to follow..

Forget the above, Unibet don't let you mix horse racing and football bets. Bellends.

I'd already made my selections (although i'd changed bet type 2 to Evs & Above), so i've had to stake differently.

Arsenal @ 1/5
Gloucester City @ 5/2
West Ham @ 18/5
Forest v Everton - Draw @ 21/10
Jadon Sancho - Anytime scorer @ 5/1

0.50 Canadian


SHOLOKJACK 4.00 @ 13/8 (1.15 Kelso)
MACKENBERG 3.00 @ 15/2 (1.30 Donc)

I fancy West Ham for the win today. I think they are better than the struggling teams around them. Add that to the fact that i think Brighton have over achieved a little. You can't keep having your better players poached.

I'm on 18/5 for the away win and 6/5 for West Ham+1

Also on West ham -1 @ 23/2 and 8 x correct scores all with West Ham coming out on top.

I dont think they'll lose so West Ham+1 is my banker of the day @ 6/5.

Great stuff. I equaled the long standing record of my worst ever losing Banker, with this one today.

Brighton 4 West ham 0

The last time i had one this far out was 2011 when i shouted Banker at Sheff Wed away at Stevenage.
They lost 5-1.

I'm taking positives though, i'm getting the bad bets out of the way in time for Cheltenham

Cheers ODM
I think the next one will be used for a Cheltenham bet. It's probably a better bet type for horses, i think.
I've only got the Friday off for the Festival this year and not much of a bank to play with, so 7 selections across the week will do me.

It's a bit of a pain putting it on but i think for the amount of doubles and trebles that you can pick up it's worth it.
I also like adding an added accumulator to the yankees, instead of 5 folds.
The six folds and accumulator just buys me a retirement dream for the weekend but if your getting 3 or 4 up out of the 7 you're going to be happy with the returns.

Got a small gamble on for the week


Tue 2.50 TOP VILLE BEN @ 35/1 - 6 places

Wed 2.10 THYME HILL @ 8/1 - 3 places

Wed 3.30 GREANETEEN @ 22/1 - 2 places

Thu 2.10 ITCHY FEET @ 25/1 - 5 places

Fri 2.10 PEMBROKE @ 8/1 - 5 places

Fri 3.30 BRAVEMANSGAME @ 13/2 - 3 places

E.W. Singles and up.

Gone through the card tonight at Wolves

1. 5.30 - COOL LIGHTNING @ 4/1

2. 6.00 - HARD SOLUTION @ 10/1

3. 6.30 - FLAME SPIRIT @ 4/1

4. 7.00 - JILLY COOPER @ 4/1

5. 7.30 - MAGICAL MAX @ 15/2

6. 8.00 - LUCKY SAN JORE @ 100/30

7. 8.30 - CAREY STREET @ 6/1


7 x yankees 1236, 1245, 1357, 1467, 2347, 2567, 3456

Seems to happen quite a lot, the first selection wins, building hope and excitement, only for the rest to come nowhere.

Still, we go again, Ascot today, backed late last night, some have drifted, some have shortened, some are BOG some are not ...

1.50 SPAGO @ 7/1

2.25 EATON COLLINA @ 11/4

3.00 PUNTA DEL ESTE @ 11/1

4.10 KRAQUELINE @ 6/1

5.20 BALLYBEGG @ 16/1


Each way singles and up. Got a feeling that PUNTA DEL ESTE in the 3.00 is overpriced and great each way value. Two good runs previous to a poor run at Cheltenham.


Also some footie bets for interest..

Trixie...
NEWCASTLE @ 7/5
BENRAHMA anytime scorer @ 5/2
VILLA to beat Leicester @ 9/5

Single..
NEWCASTLE-1 @ 17/5

EATON COLLINA @ 11/4, my only winner from the horses, Newcastle and Villa both won in the Trixie, Newcastle -1 also a winner.

A yankee for this weeks CL games...
Man City @ 7/10
Benfica @ 6/5
Real Madrid @ 8/11
Napoli @ 33/20

Correct score
AC Milan 1 Napoli 2 @ 9/1

Pontefact 3.30
KING OF BAVARIA @ 11/4

Leeds v Liverpool

I've split 20.00 on tomorrow nights game as there looks like there could be a fair bit of value about.

Luke Ayling to get booked @ 9/2 looks big, considering he could be facing Robbo, Nunez and maybe even Diaz at some point in the game. Our left hand side has been much better than the right this season and he'll be up against it at right back.

Although going for a double over us this season, Leeds have only kept 5 clean sheets in their last 41 games and after last weeks home hammering by Palace you would imagine their confidence is low. Liverpool have W5 D2 from their last 7 visits to Elland Rd

I'd like to think Liverpool can score 3 here and have had bets on Robbo and TAA for an assist, both are 4/1.
I also think Liverpool can force 5 or 6 corners in the game, maybe a couple of free kicks too where both VvD and Konate can go forward. I fancy our chances at these set pieces and i'm hoping one of them can fall to our central defenders.

Luke Ayling to get carded 4.00 @ 9/2
Andrew Robertson to assist 3.00 @ 4/1
Trent AA to assist 3.00 @ 4.00
Virgil VD to score 2.50 @ 19/2
Konate to score 2.50 @ 14/1
M.Salah to have 2 or more shots on target 4.00 @ 6/5
Liverpool to win 3-1, 1.00 @ 12/1
