Have all gone in. Trying not to get too excited but my last runner SUPERBOLT could land me my biggest payout for a decade.

Cheers Sean. Went off favourite but never got involved. A cracking day though still.

Having another go today.

Arsenal v Liverpool. News that Connor Bradley's father passed away today means he won't be taking any part in this. He must of died the happiest bloke on the planet after seeing his son score his first Premier league goal and hearing 50,000 fans singing his name, on Wednesday.
He's a big loss for Liverpool as he'd kept Martinelli away from goal in last months FA Cup tie and that's the position Arsenal will get most joy from.

Small bets for interest

Martinelli anytime scorer @ 4.00
Konate anytime scorer @ 18.00

Liv/Ars Ht/Ft @ 23.00

Man City @ 1.38
Man U @ 1.80

4 x Trebles

Good luck Punt but you're a brave man taking Man U away at Luton at those odds.
United have had their little run, it's usually around now they crash.

They were the only winner i had out of the 9 selections, Slick

4 odds on football picks, only one of them won and only two places on the horses. Time for a fortnight break for me, change my luck.

Cheltenham approaching, i need to start looking at which races i want to bet in, too.


On another subject, has anyone heard of Mark Blanford?...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Blandford_(entrepreneur)

He's a life long Hereford fan, i met him in the executive suite after yesterdays 0-0 with Tamworth. A top, down to earth, sport loving bloke.

The first betting shop he ever owned was across the road from me and he told me that's where it all started for him (i told him that's where it all started for me too ). We got talking about a couple of his staff he had there and so on and how betting shops have changed etc.

He went on to tell me about him going on to open 5 or 6 other betting shops in Herefordshire before selling them some years later to help start up Sportingbet.

He is also a race horse owner and was excited to tell me about a horse that he owns, that is with Lucinda Russell. BIG JOHN WAYNE - came 3rd at Hereford in his first ever run in a good race and that it's very much one to keep an eye on. Maybe not right now but one definitely for the future.
