2/1 Arsenal and Newcastle double. Very tempting (even given Arsenal's history with Bolton)

There will be a shock in the NFL play offs on the weekend. Can't decide where though. Leaning toward Baltimore to win in Tennessee at the moment.

Had a fiver on Osasuna t beat Bilbao last night. Found out the result was 1-1 which obviously pee'd me off as I wanted to win the bet, but then got real angry when I found out it was a very late equaliser by Bilbao

I apologise in advance if Ipswich mess it up for you. We're not very consistent.

On a side note, I wonder what the odds on Murray to win Wimbledon are this early in the year.

Only had the two bets today - one racing and one RU.

Racing
American World - 16:00 - Ayr

Not a fan of backing topweights, particularly in soft ground handicaps but I've been waiting for this horse to run since November. Saw him at Warwick and the trainer and jockey where called into the stewards room over the running and riding of the horse (only horse I know of to stay on after suffering an over-reach - dubious explanation to say the least). Been given some fairly timid rides of late most recently at Haydock over Chrismtas and has the benefit of AP McCoy today and the trainer likes a punt.


Northampton vs. Leicester
Northampton in 80 minutes @ 5/4
Have taken some of the 5/4 about Northampton winning in 80 minutes. The handicap is -1 in some places which would near enough make it an each of two situation (ie. 5/6 both sides). The price is far too big given the home form shown by Northampton this season (unbeaten in the Guiness Premiership) and an easy win against Bristol last time out. In contrast Leicester are coming off a very tight game against Bath last week and haven't won away from home in the league since 20th September (2 defeats and one draw in that time).

Good luck to those having a bet today and hopefully a special coming up for Leopardstown tommorow

That god for that, I await with baited breath.

Done £40 today coming 2nd in pretty much every race I bet on.

American World - Never put into the race, held up in rear off top weight and on soft ground and by the time the jockey even started to ride him (no use of whip I must add) he was at least 9 lengths off the pace. Shocking.
