    Yeah, I was looking for odds from the past week, half expecting Vazquez to be favourite.

    What did you get on the footy?

    Any thoughts on England vs Mexico?

    It's a friendly, why bother. Never bet on friendlies IMO...Capello himself said they'll experment.

    England should win though, Mexico are a shambles.

    Capello will be experimenting with his side so I'm not sure I'll bother.


    Does anybody fancy Whitlock at 11/2 tonight? Taylor is obviously massive favourite but Whitlock played great last time out. His finishing was 8/9 so nearly 90%:shock:

    Tommy Robredo 4/6 over Victor Troicki (nice price for a Spaniard on clay over a very inconsistent player, clay rewards consistency especially over 3 sets...)

    Andy Murray 4/7 over Richard Gasquet (still fancy him to win this despite looking poo, Gasquet will be under pressure)

    Arnaud Clement 9/4 over Oleksandr Dolgopolov Jr (big price for the decent Frenchman. This other guy did do well against Rafa mind so I understand the pricing)

    Andy Roddick 1/3 over Jarkko Niemenen (not entirely sure why he's so short...I know he's poo on clay but...good for an accumulator)

    Benjamin Becker 10/11 over Denis Istomin

    Guillermo Garcia-Lopez 10/11 over Thiemo De Bakker (very surprising price :huh)

    the odds were 1/3, nothing amazing, but when considering wales near enough had their whole team missing, i thought the odds were quite good. went big on that one.

    the england game i might leave. if anything i'll do live betting just for a goal, or if anything looks good. i don't want to do england to win because capello already admitted that the chelsea players won't be playing, and that he'll experiment, so that's put me off big time. england should still win, but at those odds in a friendly that capello is just experimenting is not worth it in my opinion.

    i'm looking at the argentina game against canada. i'm wondering if argentina will be starting with their full team. i know the likes of messi have all been called up. argentina should beat canada rather comfortably.

    I've bottled betting on that **** Murray though. Heard Gasquet won a challenger event last week on the clay. With the way Murray's playing 4/7 doesn't seem worth it.

    I've been looking at a similar bet but struggling to find the confidence to place enough of a stake to make it worth while. Teams like Italy, Argentina, Germany and France have all struggled slightly over the past 12 -18 months although they usually come good when it counts.

    I like the look of Chile and Uruguay there TFFP. Generous prices. England should have far too much for the USA, even if they are improved.

    Agree that Cameroon are crap as well so the 13/5 being offered on Japan is very tempting.

    I had £50 on the Champs League final (Inter) so shoved that on, think it was about £113 or something.

    Won a nice £60 odd, did you have a go on it?

    4/6 was too good to turn down :yep

    £350 up this weekend.... can all turn sour in an instant though :tired
