Dancer drifts in Gold Cup betting

Alarming news for ante-post punters that Exotic Dancer was on the big drift yesterday and apparently it was out to 39/1 with Betfair - Ladbrokes removed it from their list and went 5/4 both Kauto Star (main pic) and Denman - and a massive 33/1 the rest.
Other markert moves to hand is Silverburn has been cut into 7/1 from 10s for the Royal & SunAlliance Chase. The betting is still headed by Albertas Run and Air Force One still head the betting
6-1 Albertas Run, Air Force One, 7-1 Tidal Bay, 8-1 Silverburn (from10s), Pomme Tiepy,10-1 Starzaan, 12-1 Joe Lively, 14-1 Oscar Park, 16-1 Battlecry, Ornais,

Cheltenham MOVERS

Binnocular was well touted for the Triumph prior to his Kempton run on Saturday and although he made hard work of it he has been trimmed to 7/1 from 8s.
Beau Michael went into my notebook at Christmas for the race and he won his third consective race at Fairyhouse and is now 16/1 from 25s.
Piegon Island earned a 20/1 quote for the Supreme Novices' and Ballymore Properties Hurdle following his oh so easy win at Kempton on Saturday.
Way De Solzen is out to 16/1 from 9s for the World Hurdle with after coming second at Fontwell on Sunday while winner Lough Derg has been clipped to 14/1 from 20s.
Galient won as expected on his hurdling bow and gets a 33/1 quote for the Ballymore Properties Novices' Hurdle.
The mystery punter who took William Hill for a million has still not called in to collect his winnings.. he's probably still wondering how he's going to spend it. Will he change his bets from 50p to a £1 after his million pound windafall? somehow I don't think so

Spurs to grab cup glory

A Great weekend of live soccer ahead and we have the first trophy of the season up for grabs.
Chelsea and Spurs go head-to-head at Wembley on Sunday (3pm) for the Carling Cup as Juande Ramos looks to prise the cup away from Stamford Bridge.
Most layers put Chelsea in as the 11/10 favourites with Spurs priced around 5/2 and it’s 11/5 the draw.
The form team at the minute are Spurs who look a sharper, fitter team under Ramos, who has guided them to a cup final despite only having been there two minutes.
Strikers Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane are probably the best pairing around and will cause the Chelsea backline all sorts of problems come Sunday – the pair have an impressive 36 goals between them already this season.
Chelsea are, as we know, a strong, solid outfit who don’t give much away and if they stop Spurs playing then it’s simple – the cup will be heading back to the Bridge. They have all their big guns back and will be very hard to beat.
In saying that, I just have a feeling for SPURS at 5/2 in this one and it’s hard to ignore Dimitar Berbatov (pictured above) for first goal at 5/1. We have opted for a MAN CITY (6/5) win at home to Everton in the big Monday evening match on Sky.
DONCASTER (7/4) are in great form and hopefully can get the ball rolling with a win at Carlisle on Saturday.
HUDDERSFIELD (7/4) don’t have Chelsea to play this week, it’s Gillingham, and we expect them to take all points.
The quad pays a whopping £291 for a fiver
XXX: Blackpool v Charlton, Colchester v Bristol City, QPR v Sheff Utd all at priced at 11/5
(remember those doubles and trebles on this one, folks.)

Friday Horse Selections
A winning NAP (7/4 Hold 'em) at last but YID ARMY is the man - he can't stop picking winners.. offering him a job soon.
On to today and we have opted fpr CALL OSCAR (4.05 Sandown) as our NAP HAND today - good second to Oh Crick and hopefully he can get the better of Scots Dragoon.
We have a liking for PETIT MARGOT in the 4.20 at Warwick which is run over 3 mile 5 furlongs and making the Friday treble up is TRIBAL VENTURE in the last at Warwick.

LOCAL PUNTERS CLEAN UP

LOCAL bookmakers Eastwoods (now Ladbrokes) were hit with some cracking bets at the weekend by local punters,
On Monday morning we had our first punter through the door telling us of his weekend bet.
The lower Falls punter was still shaken up by the soccer bet he did at the weekend. The punter in question couldn’t believe he had touched for close to £4,000 (see right).
He placed a £10 bet on seven teams in Chapel Lane on Saturday afternoon. The first six results came in with Donegal Celtic (8/5), Distillery (1/1), West Brom (7/5), Northampton (9/10), Notts County (2/1) and Hereford (4/5) all touching.
Just the one result to come and he was waiting on Rochdale (13/8) to come in. It was 1-1 and the time was 4.53pm – our punter was hoping for a miracle.
The miracle duly arrived when Rochdale scored in the fourth minute of injury time to hand our punter the bet of a lifetime.
He picked up £3,901.70 all told, thanks to that late, late goal. What a great bet.
North Belfast punter Paul Porter was also in the money at the weekend. He placed £5 on the two from each section and when Linfield (4/7), Torquay (4/7), Ipswich (8/11), Rushden (8/11), Cardiff (5/4), Westerlo (Belgium, 5/4) and Wycombe (11/8) all won on Saturday our punter was waiting on three teams on Sunday for his boat to come in.
Rangers (4/7) won with ease at Kilmarnock and Turkish side Trabzonspor (8/5) squeezed home 2-1.
He was waiting on Belgian side Anderlecht (3/10) for the bet and had to wait to 7pm that night. They won 2-1, the other side missing a penalty.
Our punter picked up close to £2,400 for his multi-European bet – another great piece of punting.

...and so too were Sean Graham
THE winning didn’t stop there with Sean Graham also taking a bit of a battering.
A Falls Road punter placed a 50p Lucky 15 – and what a bet it turned out to be!
Alberta’s Run (9/2, tipped on our blog) ran out an impressive winner to get the bet off to a flyer when winning the 1.15 at Ascot. Backbord (11/2) won the 1.50 at the same track after collaring Peacock on the line.
Two from two and a half an hour later the bet was on one hell of a sweat when Smoothly Does It did just that in the 2.20 at Uttoxeter, winning at rewarding odds of 12/1. Our punter hardly got a sweat with his last horse Wanango (9/4) who won on the bridle in the 3.50 at Uttoxter. He picked up £1,739.38 – not a bad return for a £7.50 outlay.
It’s hard enough getting the odd double up at the geegees but a Whiterock punter hit Grahams for SEVEN on Saturday. The punter placed a £4 seven-timer and watched as they all came in – Silver Guest 5/4, Song Of Songs 5/6, Katchit 4/5, Wanango 9/4, Whiteoak 5/2, Elusive Dream 4/7, and Segal 1/2 made it the lucky seven on the day.
He picked up a cool £796.33 for his £4 bet – an excellent piece of picking.

Man Utd look bet of the night

Fair play to Liverpool last night.. a good solid 2-0 win, they at last got lucky with Milan losing their centre-halfs, one through injury and the other down stupidity.
Chelsea let a lot of punters down including Charlie The Gooner who took them in his free £46 treble on this Blog.
On to the action tonight and we are taking Arsenal 11/10 to beat ageing AC Milan. The Gunners will hope to bounce back from their weekend drubbing at Utd and wil give a wee bit more fight than they did on Saturday.
Fenerbahce (13/8) have surprised a lot of people this year and we are taking them to beat Seville- watchout for their striker Alex who is in great form.
Celtic have been in great form of late and we are taking them to grab a draw tonight at home to Barca at 11/5. Man Utd are hard to ignore and if Rangers can win at Lyon then Utd must be a penalty-kick at 11/10.

Pressure mounts on Liverpool and Benetiz

I tipped Inter Milan up at Christmas to win the Champions League at 8/1 and they can take one step closer to that tonight at Anfield. The Reds are still smarting from their FA Cup shocker and know a defeat tonight will see their gaffer sacked and rightly so. The only thing keeping Benetiz in his job is that he has actually won the Champions League (main pic) with Liverpool,
Inter will go to Anfield and like all Italian teams look for the draw and that looks good to us.
In fact we actually fancy draws in all off tonights games.

Liverpool v Inter Milan 11/5
Olympiacos v Chelsea 21/10
Schalke v Porto 2/1
Roma v Real Madrid 2/1

Nice YANKEE?

we'll be doing trebbles and a quad - a mans bet!
