Bet 2 - £20 @ evens = £40
Bet 3 - £40 @ evens = £80
Bet 4 - £80 @ evens = £160
Bet 5 - £160 @ evens = £320
Bet 6 - £320 @ evens = £640
Bet 7 - £640 @ 4/6 = £1,040

What you reckon lads?

Blyth Spartans on Saturday for me at evens looks as good a bet as you will find.

I will try that and get myself off to a good start (already on at 11/10 in a seperate bet but happy enough to go in at Evens now the odds have been cut).

Not had a punt for ages till this tonight...I put 20 quid on magnus thrax and had 20 quid on Igyougo in the 7:30 on the toon so im well up this evening. May be tempted to stick 40 on the next evens pick and try and follow this through...either way ill still be playing with the bookies money.

Ummm am I missing something here? Why are Warrington 4/1 to beat Wigan? I see their squad but its still reasonable. This is one of the biggest value bets I have seen for a long time IMO. This is an 11/4 or 5/2 shot max in my eyes. 4/1 is a MASSIVE price. Why Wigan are 1/6 I will never know. The handicap is an absolute steal for those playing at Even money but seeing as I'm skint I've gone for the Warrington win.

i've gone Wire/Wire half time/full time - 7/1.





Seen as I use Skybet most, my £10-£1,000 challenge first bet then will be Leeds to Wycombe at evens

Big injury doubts - particularly King, Westwood, Cooper (I think) and talk of Penny and Pickersgill playing

Been a big fan of Freddie for some time now, a great up and coming jockey and looks a thoroughly nice lad aswell, be interesting to see how he goes when he rides his claim out (which can't be long now) I think he'll do fine though and become one of the top jocks around. Watched him closely at Pontefract the other week in the paddock and he comes across as a great lad, very chatty and smiley with the stable staff and owners, a real breath of fresh air and totally different to some of the miserable gits who were there like Michael Hills for one

Paul Pickard is another young claimer who is really starting to catch my eye too, well worth a second look.


Watch this space!

Agree with you about Paul Pickard - his sister Frankie was a decent jockey a couple of years ago but I think she's packed it in now. Look out for Phillip Mitchell's youngest son Freddie too, riding awesome in pony races at the moment so worth following when he turns pro.

Don't agree about Canford Cliffs - he looks every inch the full package at the moment and others will catch up to him, one of the best 2yo colts I've seen. Still rate the ex-Ward filly abovehim though - just a shame that Godolphin have got their hands on her

If I was having a bet in the Wigan-Wire match, I'd be on Wigan -10. Wire are without 9 players who would be in the 17 and taking into account the amount of ale they'll ahve consumed this week, I'd say Wigan look decent bets.

I was of this opinion but I try to keep away from backing/laying Wigan as bias tends to creep in.
