    Lay means betting against something to happen, just to clarify. I really think that is a safe bet if there ever was one, Haye will not win on points.

    The amounts your talking for the return and the probability of it happening it's a rubbish bet.

    5% of your proposed stake on a football treble and you'd make more!

    The probability of this fight ending in a knockout is high.

    Why the change of mind? Are you not confident of the stupid top 8 claim you made? Yes I did watch the match. Del Potro went 0-40 up end of first set and lost it twice went 0-30 up in final two fish games and choked it up. In fairness fish did deserve the first set regardless of the net cord. He had so many set points. DP's return game still lacking with his inability to play in the heat.

    Picks for Augusta US Masters

    Nick Watney - 3 top 20 finishes from 3 attempts at augusta. Winner of WGC at Doral. Very good recent form 5 top 10 finishes from last 6-7 events. Negatives would be him bottling it in the USPGA at whistling straits on his final round. Current odds 33/1. I'm going e/w on him, paddy power paying top 6.

    Phil Mickelson - No explanation needed. Defending champ and 3 time winner, numerous top 10 finishes. He is a specialist around here. Current odds 9/1. Have him to win.

    Aaron Baddeley - New coach (well old coach) and in good form. Recent winner and a good putter. At 66/1 he's worth a small e/w bet.


    Matt Kuchar - Very consisted performer, always makes the cut in tournaments. Has had a good start to 2011 and is very capable of winning at augusta. At 33/1 worth an e/w bet.

    Anthony Kim - Curently playing well at the Shell Houston open, capable of scoring very low rounds. Only negative would be his over agressive style which could count against him at Augusta.However two top 20 finishes (including 3rd last year) is very hard to argue with out of only two attempts.Current odds 40/1.Going e/w on this.

    Nice! I bet a tenner on Man Utd to win at 10/1. A mate of mine did too!

    Reckon the bookies may have lost a fair amount on that match today!

    Got a free bet too so put a tenner on Murray to win in the 4th round.

    Just had under 2.5 in the Hull game earlier. 18 out of their 20 games at home this season have gone under and was at 4/6. :yep

    He has been no bigger than 20/1 for the last 2 weeks, make sure you are not backing the 1st round leader market here.

    JUst looking at some prices and saw Groves at 11-4 against Degale, not a bad price for a pick em fight. just looked more into it and you can get 3's at william hill,

    Not sure if they will drift, could depend on how sky play the promo , and wether the public get behind the olympic gold medalist!
