Well, I've seen some obscenely extravagant long-shots at 14 and 15-1 from Messrs Hartigan and Fitzgerald. And a bet of utter clinical insanity: Arsenal to win the Premier League? C'mon Trevor. Pull yourself together man! You've absolutely lost it, mate!
Am I therefore the only person to remember that this for charidee and we're doing it for the kids and therefore should be looking to actually MAKE some money here?
To that end I've gone for something that's odds-on according to Sky Bet, and rightly so. It's my beloved lifelong team West Brom to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season at 5/6.
Dammit, I did such a good job of preparing the groundwork for announcing that bet so that it wouldn't sound as laughable. But...there it is in black and white and yes, it looks as ridiculous as it is.
It should probably be the sand-flickers + 2 others to go down....so that 5/6 looks not bad with the likes of Wigan and Sun***land sure to be touching cloth.

8-1 DONE! and before you scoff Southend beat Bristol City in the cup this week who are 2 divisions above SO I am quietly confident about the boys in blue...
Couple of T20 Cricket Finals day bets here which i think are good value if anyone wants to listen to my inane attempts of cricket bet tipping lol! (Prices taken from Skybet)
Hampshire to win T2O - 7/2 (No side who have had home advantage on finals day have gone on to win the T20 and for me i think 7/2 is cracking value personally as Hampshire have got a great mix of experience, youth and Dominic Cork!)
Top Batsmen: Mark Pettini - 16/1 (I'm hoping Essex have a howler after they got lucky against Lancashire in the Quarter-Finals at Chelmsford but was very impressed with Mark Pettini's knock of 81 and with Alastair Cook not in the best of form, i think a lot could rest on Pettini and could be a cracking bet to be top batsmen)
Top Bowler: David Masters - 20/1 (Very under estimated bowler that sadly bowled awesome against Lancashire in the Quarter-Finals at Chelmsford and if the Rose Bowl produces a wicket that is slow with very little bounce in the pitch then Master's miltary-medium pace could be a big weapon in Essex possibly winning the T20!)
I just would like to say i do not dislike Essex at all, i'm just still really peeved off that Lancashire could not defend 180+ in the QF's!

Didn't realise the price collapsed to 9/2 after we won 3-0 on Saturday...it was 8/1 before then, but will still win it anyway :-)
