Only Football & Horses

A Christmas Special.

Just for you lucky, lucky people. I’ll be showing you how to make some serious…. shortages. Rodney.

Cheers Punt, I've just put the wifes housekeeping on those picks.
You'll be her best mate forever.

I've just cashed out the 5 fold here. I stood to win £36.10 but i've taken the cash out of £14.97. It makes sense in that £36.10 isn't a huge amount anyhow and if City can win i get the full 5 x 4 folds up anyway.
The only 4 fold up so far has paid £16.79, so i'm in a small profit anyway. Man City tomorrow, could get me off to a flyer.

Gino Trail won @ 13/2 and Corrin Wood placed. £18.28 Returned.

Well, if City win tomorrow, you can tell Marlene she owes me.

Correct. Uncle Albert.

Starting to look for Boxing day bets now...

Newcastle/Sheff Wed to draw @ 29/10

£2.50 Trixie

£10 Staked.

I always look forward to my boxing day bets, but I’m a bit disappointed with both Football and Horse racing options this year. The King George is disappointing in that there’s only 5 runners, so no each way value. I’ve had a bet just for tradition more than anything, today.

I’ve got more interest in the The Welsh Grand National Tuesday. I’ll be backing 3 or 4 here. I’ll be on the favourite Native River, who is already being talked up as another runner for the trainer in the Gold Cup.

But it’s Kerry Lee’s mud loving chasers that I want more on. Mountainous is trying to win the race for the third time, I’ve got to cover that @ around 20/1, but I’m more in favour of both her Bishops Rd (16/1) and Russ Blanc (33/1). It’ll be interesting to see who she runs and who she puts her jock’s on.

I know I’ve mentioned her being one of my favourite trainers before, but this is one of the races that the Lee’s target every year. They have won the race 3 times in the last 5 years.
