Good night - Backed 0-0 , laid Barca and was unlucky not to land a biggie on corners at 13 or more ( there were 12) .

Tottenham 1/2 v West Brom is the bet of the week

Just had a quick look now and they have won last 4 at home

well....this defo is not going to be one minute.

Ahh well, was only a free bet. Should of used it alittle more wisely but went for a big pay day. You live and learn.

What price did you get on that? Never seen that market before - who was it with?

Ladbrokes, 16/1

Can't say I will ever be doing silly bets like that again

Must say I'm tempted with odds of 11/10 and 2/1 despite their slip-ups to back invest heavilly in Saints or Leeds to win the Super League outright, just can't see any other team, and I think that's the best they're gonna get.

Also odds of 8/11 for Saints to win the challenge cup - we've only just got past the first round, whilst I know they're unbeaten in nearly four years of the cup, that's pretty short.

For Super League just a case of deciding which one as they should both make the Grand Final. If they did I'd expect Saints to be around 4/7 on the day making Leeds an 11/8 or so shot so I guess Saints are probably just the value at present but there is not much in it.

8/11 the cup.....not great value and might have been very different if they'd got Catalans away instead of home. Probably will win the thing but I think better 8/11 shots come along as an away tie at Hull KR, Wigan or even rejuvanated Warrington could put the cat amongst the pigeons.

Coral are still offering 10/1 for Northampton to be relegated

you are effectively backing a treble of

Leeds (5/6)
Carlisle (5/6)
Brighton/Draw (1/9)

and getting nearly 4 x the odds.

This is a superb Value bet.

Great spot there as low as 9/2 in places.

Also, I have heard that Punchestowns is injured and won't be running in the World Series Hurdle. Don't know how true that is but maybe worth snapping up the 7/2 available on Fiveforthree.

Punchestowns NR, Fiveforthree 6/4

Certainly a long shot but at those odds its worth a shot as if they lose and Carlisle and Brighton win like you said there down
