Lads, the football bet of the week is Bayern to win to nil @ 13/8 tomorrow night. They will own the ball against United and despite Rooney bagging a few in the last couple of games, he's the sole threat and they'll handle him easily enough by playing round him while he chases in vain. A free kick or penalty is United's only hope of a goal. With no RVP, no Mata and the lampshade that is Fellani in midfield, it'll be embarrassing. Guardia, like they did the last two seasons, will make sure Bayern are out to settle the tie in the first leg.

OK Jimjamcos, I will follow you on this. Your ade bet tells me you know a footy bet when you see one. I'm not going wild by the way, a score thats it.

Have also backed both Robben and Müller first goalscorer ew 5 places @ 11/2 and 5/1 respectively.

jimjamcos

Haha as Fergie once said - football, bloody 'ell.

Haven't seen any of game. Sounds like a very gusty performance though, credit where its due.

Backed PSG at 11/10. Spoils were 23/20 which I hoped to take by dropping into a shop on the way home but it's gone

Sets me up nicely for Aintree. Only frustrating thing is they drifted to 6/5 around 7pm

You're frustrated because you missed out on 1/10 of a point? What a perfectionist!

Its a 10% differnce in the ROI, these are the things that really matter in punting and seperate the consistent winners from the casual punter.

If you were lodging a lump sum in the bank for example and one bank said they would offer you 3% interest but there was another bank offering 13% under the exact same conditions, do you not think it would be pretty foolish to lodge the money to bank A??

Why are they running Boston Bob over 2 and a half again tomorrow?

Are they trying to get him handicapped for something

I though they might give him a sighter in the Topham with an eye on next year's national.

Only had a couple of bets at Aintree but boy rarely has a festival gone by that I've got so much wrong.

Last text I sent to a mate today said that Whisper was a shocking price, just before he won!

BumperD

Whisper sweated up so much before the off he looked like a piebald who'd contracted the Ebola virus. He then pulled for his head. How he managed to win after all that is a mystery.

Lol Cheltenham is impossible, not sure there's a word for what Aintree is.

Was hungover so didn't go. Always liked Some Tikket since his bumper win. Wouldn't have even realised he was running until you said it. Absolutely danced in!

US masters this week. I like to do a few each yr in the majors. I've spread myself thin for some very small ew stakes on this lot. All each way Cabrera, Jimenez, Moon Bae, Huh, liessman. Amongst the favs kuchar/day/stenson would be my picks but for the buttons I'm putting on I've gone for the longshot value.

Patrick Reed and Day for me so far!
Rory leading after round two might be another.. lovely round today.

There will be one bet for me in the Grand National of Golf and that's the ole stayer Cabrera!!

Has finished in the top 20 in 8 of the last 14 years and top 40 in 11/14. Has the bottle which is half the battle round Augusta.
