Promoted teams first home game - VALUE

QPR vs Bolton - 7/5

Bolton were woeful away form home last year if it means anything.

[53 and counting]

2009: Newcastle 1-3 Arsenal (Premier League)

we all remember the game last season when newcastle fought back from 4-0 down, but I don't see them getting anything this time, I think arsenal will take all 3points this time out.Maybe worth going with the overs.

No nasri or fabregas though, would rather play the over 2.5 goals market here.

[craigseventy]

came out pretty much even today, slightly up.
Millwall and west ham to win (won)
leeds and qpr to win (lost)

put what I have now on arsenal.

[perspicacity]

Went with Fulham, Q.P.R, Birmingham and Hearts on an acca, shafted!

[53 and counting]

Argentina under 20s ht/ft 5/2. Looked much more impressive than portugal in the tournament from what ive seen.

[Boxingnut5]

Tony Quigley is 4/1 to win v Tony Jeffries with Betfred. Too big surely?

[Beeston Brawler]

I think Jeffries vs Quigley is off.

If it was on I'd probably go for Jeffries, Quigley has gone off the rails a bit since the ''loss'' to Smith. If you could guarantee he'd be on that form I'd happily stick £20 on at those odds. For me Jeffries is a bit tight at 168 and to be perfectly honest not that good anyway.

The first guy that didn't just stand there and let Jeffries load up from his bootlaces ended up with a draw, which could have gone either way if we're being honest. Over eight or ten rounds he might have lost to Nathan King too.

All the training in the world won't make him a top class professional fighter, he just doesn't have it.

----------------------------------

Today's football.....

Stoke 9/2
Chelsea 4/5
Draw 11/4

WBA 13/2
Scum 8/13
Draw 16/5

Any thoughts?

I'm tempted to lay both Chelsea and Scum, with a view to backing them later. Did the same with Arsenal yesterday and made a reasonable return.

----------------------------------

Rugby League.....

Wakefield +40.5 vs Warrington @ evens
Hull KR > Bradford @ 7/4
Salford +24.5 vs Wigan @ evens

Those are my three picks. The bookies seem to have those handicaps priced up quite well, I'm erring on the cautious side with both though.

Although Hull have to travel to Bradford I'm not convinced home advantage is anywhere near as important in rugby as it is in football.

Well gang, I'm off to a christening all day, so I've thrown a speculative fiver on Blackpool, cardiff, chelsea draw, manu -1 and barcelona pays around 64/1 on skybet! Good Luck all!

Thanks for your thoughts mate. I would favour Jeffries too but not by much. 4/1 seemed too big, as you say in shape and fired up Quigley is a tough night's work for anyone. As you say the fight may well be off anyway.

[Beeston Brawler]

Chelsea have drifted a lot on Betfair, better than evens now.

Probably because Torres is playing.

[adamavfc]

Bit of a long punt but think it is worth a small bet on west brom to beat Man Utd!

The odds are fantastic. a small £2.50 bet wins £16. West Brom are a good team at home and can score goals. Man Utd away form was less then fantastic last year and seeing the team lineup of Cleverley, anderson, welbeck, smalling at left back, fancy an upset here

[53 and counting]

Backed Verplank in the USPGA @12/1

Apparently Quigley tweeted a few days ago that the fight is indeed off.
