    Not looked at the form or odds properly yet but it's looking a tight call from the Nicholls stable.

    Interesting to hear Ruby had a bit of trouble choosing who to ride and Denman is already coming in in price. 7-2 from 4-1.

    What you thinking?

    :good

    Everton might be a decent stab to put in a parlay. But as stated above, I, nor probably anyone, don't feel comfortable putting money on Liverpool, especially away, despite the opponent.

    Hull have looked pretty decent when i seen them play vs. Chelsea in a draw, but they are just always a inconsistent team in away fixtures (0-4-10) so this should be a decent stab in a parlay, as i stated....

    I'm liking Palermo at 1/2 odd vs. a very weak Livorno team. Seen them last week vs a struggling Juventus in Turin, and they were pretty solid to say the least, and no major injuries etc.... Solid home record too (9-4-0) compared to (2-2-8)

    Hamburg at 1/2 vs. Berlin is probably also parlay worthy as well. Seen them vs. Bayern briefly in a 1-0 loss, looked pretty tight in the back and mid...plus with Van Nistolroy possibly being available at least during a HT super sub. Star Croatian will be available tho


    Hes a guy who could definably rip the Hertha defense up, he thrives on these teams to score. Hertha, probably along with Wolfsburg, have probably the worst defense's in the BL atm.

    Dortmund at 5/7 is a pretty decent odd for a "comeback game" for Dortmund, but I don't think I would be comfortable going for that...I usually watch BVB a bit and they looked real bad vs. Schalke, they let the lead slip away and lost 2-1 in a 50/50 type game. But if your looking for a longshot bet, id give it a stab, but i see a draw in this one.

    Thats pretty much all I got as far as what im gonna be betting on goes...

    Add those three teams (Palermo, Hamburg and Everton) and ill get double...

    ill probably put down 35 to win 70, seems like a confident bet to me.

    I also have these teams in a previous parlay with prior games...i have England over Egypt, Portugal over China, and I got Arsenal, Hamburg, and Palermo at 30 quid to win 100.

    Anyone got any La Liga tips?

    Tell you mate I was thinking Kauto but I think I been getting a bit carried away with the hype Denman deffo the value for me, and his performance in the Hennessey was unreal, I no Kauto looked very impressive in the King George, but I think Denman is the value, in reality I think they should be something like:

    Kauto Star 6/4
    Denman 5/2.

    4/1 if still available is a great price.

    Anyone liking Darchinyan for a quick KO?

    11/4 for a Darchinyan win in either 1-3 or 4-6.

    Never seen the other guy fight but his record is ****. Anyone seen much of him?

    I knew something was up when they took over half an hour to settle, they're usually very quick. Probably consulting their lawyers and terms and conditions for a way to get out of that one.

    I know its in their rules but I'd love to know how placing a bet at a specific odds and then them changing the odds afterwards holds up in court. The idea is once they've accepted a bet its a contract between you and them, yet it seems to be only them that can back out and change things. Pisses me off...but oh well, taking money from them is some consolation.

    I'm going to reserve judgement until I've had a proper look.

    I haven't seen any games or highlights for a couple of weeks but Deportivo seem good value at home to Tenerife (who have a pretty poor away record).

    Throw Barca in for a double at just over even money.

    Same here mate, im franctically clicking "unsettled bets" or "my balance" then when it goes past about 15-20mins for an inplay game its like "argh, something is up here" so I ended up going to bed, logging on in the morning and see "1 new message" and you know exactly what it is!

    Their stream or whatever they were watching on was behind the whole game so it should be their mistake and they pay for it but they always wriggle out of it. If your regular guy can be ahead of them then its their own ineptitude that means they're behind, they shouldnt be able to get out of that.

    I do love their site though, I was betfair mad until someone told me to check out 365 and ive barely used betfair since. The amount you can do is insane, theres so much variety its immense.

    Same here, I'm an avid 365 user. Odds are kinda middle of the road, sometimes good sometimes average, but for pure ease of use and variety it can't be beat.

    The great irony is the disclaimer at the bottom of in-play markets, they tell you that if the info is wrong then they take no responsibility for your loss, yet if they're wrong and you take advantage...wow suddenly its their responsibility !

    Tip of the day - Munster (-2) to win at the Dragons. I was looking to bet the Dragons but after seeing the sides it has to be Munster.

    I've got -

    Munster (-2) 10/11
    Arsenal to beat Burnley 1/8
    West Ham to beat Bolton 8/11
    Windies to beat Zimbabwe 2/7

    Four timer pays just under 4/1.
