Horse Racing Tip for Tuesday

The last selection from Sports Betting for Fun, Oldrik, was yet another second place. After a few days break and more unseasonal weather, I am back in time for Glorious Goodwood.

Tuesday's selection is Aqaleem, running in the 2:50 at Goodwood.

Good Luck.

Another Winner!

Another winner for Sports Betting for Fun again today when Court Of Appeal (4/5) won the 6:35pm at Catterick. Unfortunately Tommy Haas had to retire from his match (the previous days' tennis selection) against Radek Stepanek. I was with a sportsbook that refunds stakes when a player retires through injury - I hope you were too.

Tomorrow we will be following the horses again. The selection is Light Shift in the 2:20 Chester. I suspect this tip will be very popular with everyone else too - may well be worth taking the early odds.

Good Luck with Light Shift - back again tomorrow.

Seville 2 Osasuna 0

A great result for Sports Betting for Fun in Spain tonight. Seville's 2-0 win against Osasuna was just right for us, beating the Asian Handicap.

Tomorrow's tip is on the horses again. In the 3:10 at Southwell my selection is Chery D'Or. Forecast to be around 6/4, the selection looks very good value, although I expect the price will shorten nearer the race time.

All the best - back again tomorrow with another selection.

EUFA Cup Prediction

Exponential turned out to be a real let down for us today. Could not even manage a place.

Tomorrow night's EUFA Cup Football is the target for the next selection. In the all Spanish clash between Seville and Osasuna I will be taking Seville -1 on the Asian Handicap betting. Available at 9/10 with Pinnacle, around 4/5 with most others.

All the best for now, I will be posting again tomorrow.

Great Result!

Yeovil 1 Doncaster 0 was a great result if you followed my recommendation - under 2 or 2.5 goals. A very nice winner.

Today I am going Italian and my fancy is Udinese -0.25 against Catania, available at 1.8 with Bet365 or 2.10 if you go for the outright win. I am taking the Asian Handicap, due to my tendency to reduce risk where possible.

Good luck - back again later.

Back to Football

It was 3rd time unlucky for me on Friday - the 3rd Tennis bet in 3 days came a cropper.

Back to Football for Saturday's tip. The season is nearly over and promotion and relegation issues are causing strange results, but I am relying on a low scoring encounter between Yeovil and Doncaster. Back under 2/2.5 goals at Pinnacle 1.91 (10/11) or under 2.5 goals at Expekt 1.70 (7/10). Also available with many other books, these were the best odds at the time of writing.

Good luck and back again later.

Anyone for Tennis?

It looks like Shrewsbury are suffering promotion jitters, just like Hartlepool last Friday. Lowly Wrexham did their own position a power of good, ruining my evening in the process!

Never mind, I am only lending the money to the bookie, I plan to recoup some of it tomorrow by backing Nieminen to beat Seppi in the Barcelona ATP tournament. The odds are a bit short, the best I can find is 1.59 at Pinnacle, but it still looks good value to me.

Back again tomorrow.

Tuesday's Football Tip

Back to England for Tuesday's selection - I will back Shrewsbury to beat Wrexham in League 2. The odds are around 5/6, so good value considering the relative positions of the teams in the league table. The Asian Handicap -0.5 line may offer slightly better value than a home win in the 1X2 market.

Good luck, I should be back again tomorrow.

Winning ways again!

Back to winning ways again as Real Mallorca managed a 1-0 win against Gimnastic. I decided to take the Asian Handicap -0.75 offer, so it was only a half winner for me, but I am satisfied with that. A winner is a winner. after all.

No tip for today - the racing looks very difficult and there is very little football, certainly nothing that I would risk my money on, anyway. I should be back later with tomorrow's selection.

Another let down!

The journey north of the border didn't provide the good fortune I was expecting after all. Aberdeen were unable to complete the victory desired, even though Hibs were down to 10 men for much of the second half.

It is obviously the wrong time of year for predicting football in Britain, so I am heading further afield for Sunday's prediction. I fancy Real Mallorca to beat Gimnastic in the Spanish Primera League. The odds vary considerably between the various bookies, but it should be possible to get 3/4 at the very least, take -0.75 on the Asian Handicap and 11/10 is available from Pinnacle and Bet365, at the time of writing.

Saturday's Football Selection

Hartlepool must be suffering winning the title jitters! Only managing to draw at home to Notts County and probably should have lost - Notts missed a penalty in the second half.

No sense crying over spilt milk, we'll go north of the border for Saturday's selection. Aberdeen -0.5 v Hibs is the recommendation. Available at 4/5 or slightly better with Pinnacle Sports and Victor Chandler, lets hope that Hibs poor away form continues. It's a 12.30am kick off so don't miss out. Good luck, I'll be back again tomorrow. I have yet to study the horses, so if anything stands out I will be posting again in the morning.

Friday's Selection

Back to Football again for Friday's tip. High flying Hartlepool look excellent value to beat Notts County, especially if we take the Asian Handicap line -0.75. Victor Chandler are currently offering 2.0 (evens in English money!) , so that's what I'm going for.

Apologies to any Notts County fans, but I will be looking for a sound victory by Hartlepool - 2-0 or 3-1 will do very nicely thank you.

Back again tomorrow with something for Saturday.

Day 2

Portsmouth did the business for us yesterday, so that was a good start. It paid for my beer last night anyway!

Having scoured the football fixtures of Europe today I cannot find anything that looks good value, so I will have a go on the horses. Over to Ireland, 3:55 at the Curragh, Mustameet is the selection. You can get 5/4 with most bookies at the time of writing, I suspect this price will shorten nearer the race time, so take it on the early offer if you can.

Good luck with the selection, hope to post again tomorrow, but it may not be possible due to work commitments.

My first posting

Welcome to my blog. One of my hobbies is betting - not serious stuff, just a few quid here and there. Hopefully successful enough to pay for a few beers, or a nice meal, treats for the kids, whatever takes your fancy.

This is my first attempt at going public. I have successfully advised friends many times, so from now on my tips will be available to a wider audience. Assuming anyone finds their way to this site, that is!

Anyway, today's recommendation is Portsmouth to beat Newcastle in the Premier League. I would advise taking the Asian handicap -0.25 offer, it reduces the odds, but gives us a bit of protection should a draw result, as we get half the stake back. Last time I checked Ladbrokes and Stan James were still offering this line, Victor Chandler and many other bookies have moved it to -0.5, which is the same as going for the win on the 1X2 market.

That's it for now, good luck with the tip, I will try and post tomorrow's selection a bit earlier!
