hi neil, hope you dont mind me posting my bets here ....... bet for saturday....wins for liverpool chelsea wolves derby shrewsbury aberdeen £15 pays £242 Posted by bluffulot6
I think this one might have let you down. Care to confirm Jac35?
No good today the 2 teams that didn't win I thought were nailed on after the derby loss in the afternoon kick off I stuck man utd to the bet but aderdeen then let us down conceding tgere first goal in 8 games not just one but 3 scoring 3 at home should be good in almost every home game but not today can't be to disappointed after the run I've been on the past few weeks keep the faith and I'll be back next week
Great post by Omm...nailed it. Pretty sure Bluffulot is doing a great job of picking good accumulators better than most other accumulator backers, also very sure the bookies love taking accumulators for the reasons Omm stated. Today is a tough day, great racing but not the right betting "shape" in these races. The big Haydock race at 3.15 is not good for each-way bets but I will have a win bet in it. Corrin Wood is from a terrible stable having a bad year, Shangani is from a stable having a great season but a poor 2015, Benbens is poorly handicapped, five of the 12 runners are out of the handicap and the top weight Hey Big Spender does not like this soft ground. I respect Green Flag who likes the ground and will relish a slog but my bet will be on Vintage Star who came 2nd in this race last year, who goes well on the ground and who would be much shorter if it wasn't for the last rare bad run. With Brian Hughes back on I think he's a decent price. I'm having 6 points Vintage Star to win at 9/1 in the Haydock 3.15. Posted by NChanning
Hi Mr Channing,
Wouldn't have any thoughts on todays clash at Gowran Park would you in the Thyestes Chase?
Had a look over some writeups (Pricewise have tipped Goonyella and Groody Hill, had another shout for The Job is Right)
Both have tipped win only but would I be right in saying a 17 runner handicap race paying 4 places at 1/4 makes a stronger E/W bet?
(just to let people know the Patriots made the Super Bowl which is the Sunday after next. They played the "semi-final" at home in horrible weather and it later turned out the balls were lower pressure than normal making it harder to throw. They were planning to run all day so it wasn't going to effect them but the other team needed to pass a lot and that was much harder).
I'm flabbergasted that the home team provides the balls and that with around 200 people for each team on the sidelines nobody noticed. That makes me think it didn't really make a big difference.
I'm also amused that Bellichick, the Patriots coach, will do anything to win, including cheating and bending the rules.
Obviously I do not approve of cheating but I love the idea of people caring THAT MUCH about winning. That is what seperates them I guess.
In terms of bets there is zero chance of them being effected or anyone ever caring about the punters. 90% of sports gambling in the US is illegal, Vegas takes 1% of the world total for Super Bowl bets and the NFL hate gambling.
I suppose it wouldnt matter a jot who provided the balls as long as they were in the care of the officals and pressures checked before the match as is the case with football.
There are plenty of examples of football managers looking for edges and manipulating the environment. John Beck with his long grass and the sand in corners so his players could overhit long balls for wingers to chase on to springs to mind. And when at the then plastic pitch of Deepdale which didnt respond to such tactics he got allowances for players to wear tracksuit bottoms. Obviously home players got used to the pitch and playing in trackie bottoms but opposition players had to decide whether or not to to do it and either feel uncomfortable wearing them, or fear that they were more likely to hurt themselves without and that their opponents had an advantage.
Got relegated eventually so didnt work!
Various examples of pitch width manipulation and weaker teams not cutting grass etc.
Had Channing, in the 4th..... got given a massive tip that he would go the distance. Alas, total donk! I'd say fun eve at yr table, yet we had mattbates :0) Posted by samantha25
In Response to Re: Channing's Bet of the Week...: I find it quite amusing. (just to let people know the Patriots made the Super Bowl which is the Sunday after next. They played the "semi-final" at home in horrible weather and it later turned out the balls were lower pressure than normal making it harder to throw. They were planning to run all day so it wasn't going to effect them but the other team needed to pass a lot and that was much harder).
That's not strictly the case, the balls that Indianapolis had (each team uses a different sub-set of balls) were normal, it was only the Patriots (as the home team, who had control of the balls) balls that were deflated. Indianapolis allegedly only found out after one of their players intercepted a Brady pass.
But, to extend this further, the referee touches the ball every down to mark the spot for the start of the next play. If there was a significant difference, why didn't he or one of the other officlals notice it and say something.

Could be looking at promotion if they keep it up....
Had a few £ on your bet Mr Rainman, nice1 sir!
shouldn't this thread be in "betting chat"?
Really hard to have a bad each-way bet with four places here though.
Best of luck.

The Job is Right went to about evens with three to jump and was booked for 2nd when it fell at the last. Ouch!
I always love those teams that overly water or grow the grass long so I love the track suit bottom on the astroturf.
BRENTFORD to beat norwich 4/1.
Betting with my heart not my head £15.
All the best

Wasn't going to go too mad today. The racing is really good but the races are tough and nothing really stands out.
I just noticed that SkyBet have 1234 places in the big race at Doncaster, the SkyBet Chase at 3.15pm.
The 4th place is really good for the punter so I feel compelled to have a bet. Medermit at 13/2 is the one for me.
All the best
