Wolves 50

Coventry 40


Finished

I'll take that!...


espanyolswan take a bow son...

Wolves won by 10 (50-40)


Coventry battled well and were only a couple behind with 4 races to go. Wolves big guns finally nailed it for them late on but they never really looked like winning by the 17 the bookies thought they would.

Cheers was writing a more detailed result as Gahan must have been posting his.

I had an added interest, it was at Monmore

Had John Higgins to win World Championship at 11/1

You watching Peterborough dogs tonight to see if Mountjoy Jasper does the business????

On sky?

Yep 9.45 is his race

4/1 in what looks a proper even race

Crap draw and everything needs to go right for him.....it worked out for a few similar railers drawn wide in the greyhound Derby heats at Wimbledon but they were blessed with more early pace than him and it seems certain that there will be trouble in the race so hope he has his best Westmead Hawk instincts going to avoid it all and snatch the prize. Can not dessert him after backing him at 50/1 but would have liked to have seen him in a more balanced contest with him as one of 2 railers (the first 5 traps are all railers, Tr 6 is a wide seed), as then he would have had a great chance to do the business.

Saying that the trainer was pretty bullish in his comments in the Racing Post about tonight and just how good he might turn out to be.

Fingers crossed.

He's screwed in T4 then if the 1st 5 are railers



1st bend should be interesting

Some would say that...I'd say he's got to use his intelligence to escape any bother then power on to the finish.

Worst advised tip of the year IMHO is the Sun claiming the Diamond of the Day is Man U to score against Arsenal at 30/100. They may well do but a national newspaper picking that as an advised bet when they can go through without scoring and encouraging people to bet at those sort of odds is a bit off in my book.

Outrageous betting weekend for me the highlights below.

Lows -

Had Murphy in the snooker at 16/1
Had Woods in the golf at all sorts of prices. Lost, plus the usual tips.
Had Quins -10 against Salford. Lost
Had Rainbow View and Rip Van Winkle in the guineas
Had Hatton outright.

Total Loss - Alot

Highs

Had LIverpool -2 v Newcastle (got to love Lucas)
Had a Spurs/City double
Had Bradford and Hull singles and double off Scratch
Had Hull -4 at 11/8
Had Levet in the golf at evens with 7 holes left
Had a Ryan Moore horse yesterday at 7/4. Desert Creek. Not noteworthy other than the fact I threw everything in my Centrebet account on it.....£70 at 7/4 £100 at 15/8. Ludicrous betting but luckily it won

Total Win - A lot more than I lost!! Reckon I'm about £300 up for the weekend but was literally betting on anything all weekend. I've hardly slept and I think I'll be cooling off for a while.

well done mate... now go and lie down in a dark room

I fancy the British Lions to do South Africa, I was confident before but with the following Injury list continuing to mount it's looking increasingly likely:



A few Bets i fancy but i won't be going big, Tommy Bowe is the one that stands out most to me...

British & Irish Lions [iOutright[/i (5/2) (PaddyPower)
British & Irish Lions [i3-0[/i (22/1) (PaddyPower)
Tommy Bowe [iTop Lions Tryscorer[/i (9/1) (Coral)

No inspirational bet for the speedway tonight I'm affraid but Ladbrokes giving Sheffield a ten point start looks big as the visitors will have a large away support with the club putting on free coaches and like Coventry last night will be well up for not losing face in a local derby.

Shorpe are usually strong at home but got stuffed there by Kings Lynn recently, have lost 3 on the trot and have a few key riders carrying injuries.

The 5/1 for a Sheffield win is tempting but a more cautious approach and doing them +10 is probably the way to go.

Call me a sceptic but I think televised dogs is even more bent than usual.

Over-analysis is a total waste of time too IMO.

Don't know about bent but I'm guessing most runners are making their debuts on Sky and will give their owners a chance of a bit of glory at least. The more tracks they get to the better but from a betting point of view it's not as interesting as most live meetings but if Mountjoy Jasper wins the big one I will not care a jot about the rest of the card.

If you do Sheffield (+10) do it with Bet 365 who have just priced it up at 10/11 Ladbrokes are the tighter 5/6.

I think i'll leave it tonight mate had a few Golf bets so i'll save some room for some small stake big priced bets on the football, Hope it comes good for you again though...

Agree that the Sky stuff is straighter than the BAGS - where it doesn't take much to move a price and only three or four bookies are standing. Some rather shady practices.

Same with the open races - a fair few dogs not trapping well which are usually as fast as lightening out of the box's when odds-on etc. Could be bad luck but there's normally one being backed against it



Flapping - I'll be here all day so won't bother
