Think now is the time to back Huddersfield for the Cup semi final either at 7/2....was 4/1 on Friday or at a very tempting +12 with SkyBet

I can see it being +8 or +10 on the day if they keep up their current form.

12/1 outright is far too big also as surely if they made the final it would be 10/11 the pair at worst and more likely Huddersfield would be favs.

Even 7/2 to win the semi and Evens the final is only an 8/1 shot and you also have draws on your side in the unlikely prospect of either tie going to extra time. SportingBet at 7/1 are much nearer the true mark I'd say.

I'll admit that I only backed them having seen your post, I didn't imagine they'd be such a big price.

Fingers crossed then as I did get 12/1 and have tickets to the final and was dreading a Wigan v Saints one. Now I can go as a fully fledged glory hunting Huddersfield fan with a vested interest in the result.

Then again I have seen Huddersfield (albeit Town) before at Wembley....the swans beat them in the autoglass final in 1994

and Joker has had a good afternoon.

You can say that again:...

Nani (14/1) First Goalscorer...
Brett Hodgson (14/1) First Try Scorer...
Huddersfield Giants (5/6) +8.5 Handicap...
Chelsea (1/1) To Win On Penalties...

Not the biggest of stakes but you can't argue with profit!...

Tonights Speedway

Coventry -2 with Ladbrokes will do for me

Belle Vue have problems and a rider making his debut and tend to lose at home to the better sides Coventry won their earlier in the season, Swindon have won there twice,


It will be close so avoid Coventry -6 with Stan James as if they do win it will probably go down to the last race (as Cov v Wolves did on Friday when Cov bottled it and ended up only drawing).

Think they will want to put that right and Harris and Kennet rode ok in the pairs at Eastbourne on Saturday.

Not as strong a hunch as usual with Coventry but if they are to be champions this is a contest they should be winning and fingers crossed it will be by more than 3 points!!!!

More Speedway

Ricky Wells is worth a quid or two at 16/1 (Skybet) to win heat 2 as he beat both Wolves reserves in the equivalent race on Friday and while he might well follow team mate Ben Barker home again it is worth the risk he can get in front and stay there at such generous odds.

Tricky as they have to win by 5 for you to win. I'd actually go win only (4/7) at that mark and perhaps put it in a double with a single football bet or such like as I can well see Coventry winning by a very tight margin.




BTW can not really lose today mind you as got 2 free season tickets today off Blue Square for Ilkeston games and the misses got 2 for Tamworth so going to be doing a fair few non league bets on what I see watching those 2 teams

Ilkeston to beat cash strapped Redditch tomorrow looks good to me .
