Had a few £ on your bet Mr Rainman, nice1 sir!
shouldn't this thread be in "betting chat"?
Really hard to have a bad each-way bet with four places here though.
Best of luck.
(just to let people know the Patriots made the Super Bowl which is the Sunday after next. They played the "semi-final" at home in horrible weather and it later turned out the balls were lower pressure than normal making it harder to throw. They were planning to run all day so it wasn't going to effect them but the other team needed to pass a lot and that was much harder).
I'm flabbergasted that the home team provides the balls and that with around 200 people for each team on the sidelines nobody noticed. That makes me think it didn't really make a big difference.
I'm also amused that Bellichick, the Patriots coach, will do anything to win, including cheating and bending the rules.
Obviously I do not approve of cheating but I love the idea of people caring THAT MUCH about winning. That is what seperates them I guess.
In terms of bets there is zero chance of them being effected or anyone ever caring about the punters. 90% of sports gambling in the US is illegal, Vegas takes 1% of the world total for Super Bowl bets and the NFL hate gambling.
The Job is Right went to about evens with three to jump and was booked for 2nd when it fell at the last. Ouch!
I always love those teams that overly water or grow the grass long so I love the track suit bottom on the astroturf.
BRENTFORD to beat norwich 4/1.
Betting with my heart not my head £15.
All the best

I find it quite amusing. (just to let people know the Patriots made the Super Bowl which is the Sunday after next. They played the "semi-final" at home in horrible weather and it later turned out the balls were lower pressure than normal making it harder to throw. They were planning to run all day so it wasn't going to effect them but the other team needed to pass a lot and that was much harder).
That's not strictly the case, the balls that Indianapolis had (each team uses a different sub-set of balls) were normal, it was only the Patriots (as the home team, who had control of the balls) balls that were deflated. Indianapolis allegedly only found out after one of their players intercepted a Brady pass.
But, to extend this further, the referee touches the ball every down to mark the spot for the start of the next play. If there was a significant difference, why didn't he or one of the other officlals notice it and say something.
Wasn't going to go too mad today. The racing is really good but the races are tough and nothing really stands out.
I just noticed that SkyBet have 1234 places in the big race at Doncaster, the SkyBet Chase at 3.15pm.
The 4th place is really good for the punter so I feel compelled to have a bet. Medermit at 13/2 is the one for me.
All the best

mods... have you all left the site?
much as though we all love neil and he is an ambo but this thread doesn't belong here, it belongs in the betting chat section. i am pretty sure that "bet of the week" fits nicely into the "betting chat" section. i could be wrong of course.
I don't really mind where it goes. Somebody said when I started the thread that if I put it under Betting then less people will see it.
it does seem weird, maybe we can move it over.
On the horse front it's tough today. I hate these heavy ground slogs generally. Saffron Wells is pretty solid and it loves the course and the soft ground. I haven't gone mad.
8 points each-way Saffron Wells in the Sandown 3pm. Skybet offer 7/1 which I like.
normally the mods simply move the thread to its correct place. no matter where it first appeared or who started it. it would probably be better moved as the entire audience/readership in the betting chat section is interested in a betting thread whereas a big proportion of people in general chat aren't.
I Hear what you are saying Aussie but I would say the title of the thread is pretty self-explanatory. It does do what it says on the tin. If someone really hates to read it I find it hard to believe they could accidentally stumble into it.
Normally we'd do this but, on this occasion, and to allow as many people to see Neil's great tips as possible we're leaving it in GPC. Agreed, it is a betting thread but less people would view it there. We'll see how it goes though.
Good luck with the tip Mr Ambassador sir.
