SkyBet prices are Peterborough -2 (10/11) or Outright (8/11), Best to just leave it alone tonight?, Batchelor T Over 7.5pts 6/5?...

Would not bet outright at those handicap marks as a 2pt win looks well possible as they are tightly matched.

Peterborough are using rider replacement so Batchelor should get 5 rather than 4 rides so over 7.5 looks decent though he will most likely let his team mate past if they are 1st and 2nd so only getting 2 rather than 3 points.

Still he rode well for Ipswich there and got 13 points a month ago and another 10 at Coventry recently so do not go mad but I think that is a better shout than backing Peterborough giving away a start.


Kenneth Bjerre at 5/2 to win heat 15 could be interesting too if the match depends on it and he can get a more favoured draw than Leigh Adams (who he well outshone again in Saturday's Grand Prix). In an earlier heat he is only 13/8 to beat Adams and although team riding may come into the last leg it still looks good value.

I doubt anyone will agree with what im about to say...

But i think Burnley 7/1 v Man Utd is great value and well worth a few quid IMO

Man Utd have loads of injurys and Burnley first home game in the PL will be there cup final and if there players raise there game they will have a great chance

Not at all now is the time to play the big boys (although 11/1 is more like the real price and luckily Boylesports and Skybet still go that price but everyone else who went big has cut their odds).

Starting it this weekend that last bet would need some balls if we got that far I know one people who has done it though think he did it through out the footy season.

I guess you can cut that last bet if you only want to win £1000 as it works out £620 or something at Evens so just go £500 and you've £120 to enjoy a good night out whatever happens.
