Khan to hold 2 or more of the major titles* at 140lbs in 2011 - 2/1
Marquez to win a major title* at 140lbs in 2011 - 3/1
*WBO/WBC/WBA/IBF - Interim titles don't count

Requested prices on the above bets and thats what they came back to me with. Just wondered what peoples thoughts on them were...?

 

marquez one is good if at any weight.

 

Well you won't get 2-1 for khan against bradley or Alexander??

But obviously the risk is this fight not happening this year!

 

Not bad bets. Who was that with?

 

The Marquez bet is to win a title at 140lbs - when I asked for the price I mistakenly thought Morales v Marquez was at light welter - fancied Bradley to beat Alexander and the WBC to become vacant and Marquez to get a shot at it, either against Morales or someone else. But looks like thats at lightweight so not sure whether to take a punt or not.

With the Khan bet I figured the same as Noonan, the fact theres a good chance Zab might pick up the IBF and wants to face Khan also sweetens the deal...

Bets are with Ladbrokes but you'd need to email them to request the odds. They have a bunch of specials up, 2 I liked from that were:

Cleverly to win a world title - 9/4 (think it's now 7/4) - already the interim title holder and will surely get a shot this year

Burns to be WBO Super Feather Champ through 2011 - 5/2 - Larreya will be a gimmie and I don't really see him facing a major threat this year. Seems to fancy the Fana fight so even if he was to take a risk and take that fight you'd probably see him made favorate in Scotland so could at worst lay a bit off to recoup your stake

 

Dott v Ding over 9.5 frames evs.

 

Has come in at 4/1 currently.

 

Anyone got tips for the footy today?

 

Arsenal/City double pays 6/5 at Coral.

Aberdeen 20/21 to beat St Mirren looks like great value, Craig Brown has got us playing great stuff and we completely dominated Dundee Utd in our last match, tho they scored a late equaliser.

 

Blackpool at hawthorns worth a go at 11/5

 

Betfair are showing 7/2, definitely worth a tenner.

WBA aren't on the best run.

 

Out of interest , how much do you guys usually bet per week? I prob average £20, but if I'm in luck put some winnings on too

 

Lost there last 6 I think, be calling for DiMatteos head if they lose this, could be worth looking at that too, after grant is gone mind

Victor Chandler have 7/2 for DiMatteo to not be in charge 22nd of may

 

I'm on overs in the Nuremburg vs 'gladbach game.

 

United, City, Inter Treble- £10 pays £45.
