The Man’s A Genius

The word genius is often banded about and very misused but what the hell, the email I got from Big Mike Marsland was, well, genius.

Update – Big Mike Strikes Again….

Received this in my inbox…….

In Racing today wait until as late as possible here as there are just 8 runners and its a magical frame. I fear brown envelopes. However if 8 go to post then we have a mathematical advantage. Colebrook is 1.45 for the place site via a Bookmaker but you can lay back now to the Betfair place site at 1.19 so a 26 tick profit before the start! Mind you 8 still have to run so be watchful.

Got Colebrook at 5/2 (3.50) each way so 1.50 for the place and laid for 3.6 in the win market and 1.20 in the place market.

All panned out perfectly for just under a 9% ROI as we fully backed / laid before the off this time. As it turned out Colebrook was Unplaced so that was a nice top up for our Betfair account.

Like we say, Genius.

See for yourself (here is an extract of what I got)….Over to you Mike.

Big Mikes Monday Column

I used to get very excited about a bet which `looks` the part at Ffos Las. 12.45. Here we have – which on the face of it – looks a `Golden Goose`. They come along maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Bookies hate them. I can assure you this morning that all Stationers in West Wales will run out of brown envelopes as the layers will be looking to reduce the race to <5 which of course will scupper the trade.

If the unlikely happens and 5 run (!) then the bet works like this…….

Captain Sharpe – Play £100 ew at BOG which is 7/1 with bet365

Concentrate on the Place side.

At SP the 7/1 is equivalent to 2.8 ish The Lay Price on Betfair is 1.3. So via SP / BOG if placed you will pick up £175 for £100 place stake. If you lay £200 back to Betfair it will cost you £60.

So if the horse places you pick up a net £115 and if unplaced you will pick up a net £100 (£200 less £100).

Now on the win side its more difficult. Here you are relying on a subsidy from the place bet and also a bit of in running support from the lemmings.

The first thing to do is assess your profit if the horse wins which will be £700 at BOG. Then pre start you must change your focus into `liability`. Try and lay back as much as you can for a Liability of £400. I think you will get about £60 back via betfair at current prices.

Then you are reliant on the lemmings to retrieve the balance of your £100 as this bet in effect is geared to the place winnings. So I would suggest mines at 6.2, 5.2,4.2 & 3.2 and just in case a big one at 1.7.

It’s a purely mathematical exercise and geared to the place site BUT all this is useless (as I suspect) brown envelopes will show their face before 12.45.

Good luck if popping your toes in the water.

This all panned out to perfection.

In fact Captain Sharpe drifted to 8/1 (9.00) at the off. So we effectively had odds of 3.0 on the place against 1.3 to lay on Betfair. The 1/10 fav Hollow Tree easily won the race (Captain Sharpe came in 2nd) and whilst none of our in-running bets were matched we have laid £45 off pre-race in the win market at 10’s. So our £100 EW returned £300 at the bookie for £100 profit less our £60 place lay at Betfair for £40 profit and we had £45 (£43 after comm) lay winner at Betfair for a £83 overall profit.

Like I say GENIUS!

The Shockingly Simply Way To Profit From Horse Racing

This has just landed in my inbox from the wonderful Secret Betting Club. Certainly something to our bank accounts nice and warm through the long cold winter days.

Take a look….

Did you know that these days most punters overlook one of the easiest, most straightforward ways to make money betting on Horse Racing?

It’s such a simple and affordable method that you would think every man and his dog would be doing it…but you would be wrong!

Instead, only a very few clued up punters are aware of this untapped goldmine until now…but that is all about to change.

This is because here at the Secret Betting Club we have produced a free report for you to download about the ‘shockingly simple way to make money horse racing’.

In it we reveal how this method made one SBC member £6,348.00 at £100 level stakes last year and how you can repeat it.

You can download this must-read report today totally for free by clicking this link.

Also Save 15% Off The Cost Of Our Winter Annual

Everyone that downloads this free report, will also receive an extra special 15% discount voucher off the cost of our recently released Winter Racing Annual.

Another great offer has just landed here at bet72 from the desk of the Secret Betting Club

Dear betting enthusiast,

If you have spent more than 5 minutes checking out some of the racing systems that are available on the internet, you will probably know many of them are not worth the paper they are written on!

Indeed, via our role here at the Secret Betting Club as betting product reviewers, this is never more obvious than when we report on some of the rubbish systems, which we warn our members to avoid.

You would certainly be right to assume that good racing systems don’t grow on trees…but there is one exception to the general rule, which we are proud to endorse ourselves.

This exception would have to be our very own 4 Pronged Attack (4PA) racing system, developed by a genuine professional gambler, which we supply totally for free to all new SBC members.

This August alone it has picked out 14 bets and found 4 winners at 14/1, 12/1 (twice) and 8/1 to help return a thundering £3,950 profit at just £100 stakes.

This is no flash-in-the-pan performance though as since the 12th May 2010 (when we began tracking) it would have made you £18,800.00 at the same £100 stakes from 306 bets.

Performance from 12th May 2010 to 23rd August 2011
At £10 stakes, you would have risked £4,515 and won £1,888
At £25 stakes, you would have risked £11,287 and won £4,720
At £50 stakes, you would have risked £22,574 and won £9,440
At £100 stakes, you would have risked £45,148 and won £18,880

How It Works

You need no knowledge of racing to follow the 4PA system, nor need you subscribe or pay for anything once you have it. Its completely free to follow, easy to understand and most of all – proven to be very profitable.

The building blocks for it take literally a few minutes to follow – and you can send you the details for free via email as soon as you join us here at the Secret Betting Club.

Join us and we will share with you all the details on how exactly you can follow the 4 Pronged Attack yourself. We have put together a concise user-guide so you can maximise its excellent potential for profit!

If you want to sign up immediately, jump over to Secret Betting Club and start following the 4 Pronged Attack today!

The Weekend Wager from Secret Betting Club

Welcome to this the latest Weekend Wager free betting column produced by the Secret Betting Club.

Each and every Friday through this column we bring together some of the finest experts to give you betting tips, advice and guidance for the next 7 days..

1. Mike Says..

In this column, Secret Betting Club co-editor and professional gambler Mike Bishop discusses some of the weeks most topical betting issues.

It’s back to normality betting wise this weekend after the double header of the racing’s Grand National and Golf’s master’s weekend. If you were involved, I hope you managed to pick up some profit from the giant field in both events.

We asked some of the tipsters we proof to put up a tip each for the National, with ourselves acting as charity bookmaker and donating £1 per bet (ignoring losses) to Cancer Research.

Well done to Scott Armstrong of The Sportsman Racing who picked the winner Ballabriggs at 14/1 EW. The tipsters also covered all but one of the placed horses, with successes including Northern Monkey tipping Niche Market at 18/1 (5th), Winning Racing Tips picking State of Play at 25/1 and our Pro Gambler PCB picking Oscar time at 12/1 (2nd).

We bumped things up a little to make it £1 each way so a total of £28.25 was donated to Cancer Research. Thanks to all the tipsters who contributed.

In Play Profits

One of the biggest growth areas for betting this year has been in-play football betting and you may well have noticed the likes of Bet365 and Betfair falling over themselves to advertise their own in-play options.

What they are keen to do is take advantage of emotionally charged and split second decisions bets as a game is in full swing, knowing that most punters won’t make a profit betting this way. On the contrary though as in our latest released issue – SBC 59 we reported back on the first football tipster taking on these live in-play bookies and making a profit doing so.

This particular tipster has set-up a really easy to use way of following his live bets, with a betting window during a game where you get text and audio alerts as soon as he puts up a bet. From his first 111 live bets he has made a 24.41 pt profit, which equates to a 17.19% profit on turnover (For every £100 staked, you make a profit of £17.19).

We only foresee more tipsters doing this in future as well, taking advantage of the fact the bookie has to make rash decisions on odds, where sometimes a shrewd gambler can find value bets.

Find out more here…..
For those looking to take matters into their own hands, then Bettor Logic’s Form Lab Black is a highly recommended research tool for spotting useful in play positions.

Simple Soccer Stat’s Half time/ full time component can also yield some interesting results. For example:

• Arsenal have been winning at half time in 67% of their away matches this season.
• At home, Manchester United have been winning at half time in 15 of their home games so far and failed to win from this position just once.
• Away from home, Chelsea have drawn 7 matches at half time and converted just two of these half time draws into full time wins.

Racing trades
Its not just football where you can bet as an event is in-play and one of the most popular sports for this is Horse Racing, where the odds change as the race unfolds.

With Horse Racing though the odds can swing even before the race starts with market moves for different horses meaning that combining pre-race and in-play trading on the right horses can be profitable if you know what you are doing.

One person who does know is Scott Armstrong of The Sportsman service, who has been making great returns via his racing trading approach, taking pre-race and in-play bets and lays to lock in guaranteed profit. What’s more he is now sharing his method for free on our members’ forum for the next 2 months.

To explain his method, just yesterday at 10.39 am he advised a £50 win bet on Dashwood in the 9.15 at Kempton at 11/2. Then at 8.04pm, Dashwood had shrunk in price (as Scott foresaw) and he advised a £105 lay at the current odds of 3.1 with Betfair.

This left a guaranteed profit regardless of whether Dashwood won or lost. A win for the horse would have meant a profit of £54.50, but if it lost we would be £55 up (before commission). As it turned out Dashwood won quite easily as 7/4 favourite and £54.50 was our total profit on the race.

On some occasions, Scott will also recommend an in-play lay as well to help try and firm up other profits, but on this occasion the profits were locked in before the race started.

The reason I am sharing this is that we have agreed an exclusive deal with Scott for him to list all his racing trades up on our Secret Betting Club member’s forum for FREE until June this year. The idea being to allow all SBC members to familiarise themselves with his profitable trading method as an added bonus from us all!

Scott will also be detailing in full his racing trading strategy in an exclusive article to be released in SBC 60, out at the end of April.

2. Mike’s Football Bets

Mike analyses the forthcoming football betting opportunities over the next week and highlights a few bets he feels offer value. This is part of a season-long experiment to see the likely returns from such an approach and to build up a public record.

We enjoyed a bumper return last weekend with all 3 Main bets winning to really boost the seasonal figures as we enter the last month or so of action. There are only 6 games to choose from in the Premier League this weekend with the FA Cup Semi-Finals at Wembley and there isn’t a huge amount of value out there as far as I can see. I have just one Main and one Shortlist bet for this weekend as so many of the teams playing are inconsistent, injury-prone or just priced up pretty well by the bookmakers.

My one main bet is down at the Emirates this Sunday where Arsenal host Liverpool in game likely to be over-shadowed by the Bolton – Stoke City fixture the same day (not a statement I often expect to write). I think the bookies have under-estimated the chances of goals here and the 1.95 on over 2.5 goals looks to be a shade too big judging by the evidence (Even the next best odds of 1.91 still look far too big). We all know that Arsenal haven’t been firing of late but they have still seen 42 goals in their 15 home games and gone past the overs mark 56% of the time. We also have similar stats for Liverpool and looking at the relatively soft defence for both sides I think we should see goals. Whether its Lehmann or Almunia in nets for the Gunners, Suarez, Carroll et al will test them a lot more than Blackpool did, whilst Liverpool at the back have injuries and are missing a number of key defenders. Kenny Dalglish has not been able to settle on a winning away formula for his new charges and defeats away at WBA and West Ham lately reflect that.

My only shortlist bet is again in the over 2.5 goals market and features a favoured team of mine for this bet – West Ham who are far from convincing defensively as they have proven in recent weeks. The bookies are slowly cottoning on but still odds of 1.86 on over 2.5 goals in their home game against Villa looks too high for me. Both these teams have seen over 3 goals on average per game home and away respectively and I make the chance of this bet greater than then 53.7% chance that odds of 1.86 implies.

Main Bets
1 pt over 2.5 goals. Arsenal V Liverpool. 1.95 Betsson. Next best 1.91 Pinnacle/Canbet/188bet

Shortlist Bets
1 pt over 2.5 goals. West Ham V Aston Villa. 1.86 Pinnacle/12Bet

All odds correct at time of release on SBC Blog

Just to clarify, although we have members and some tipsters providing some free tips and systems, we are primarily a review service. Please dont expect miracles or read too much into this experiment!

3. A Sporting Chance

Scott Armstrong is The Sportsman who provides his regular expert betting advice on a range of sports such as Darts, Racing & Football. Each week via this column you can find his latest betting insight and expect some advice in fairly untapped markets – his speciality!

Every week in the Premier League darts Stan James ask the question “who will score the highest three dart average of the eight players on the night?”. You don’t often see Phil Taylor priced at evens in any market and my first consideration was: is he of value in this particular market? It seemed a reasonable price given that Taylor, on his game can average scores none of the other players can live with. Over the last three league seasons and the first ten weeks of this years competition Taylor has came out on top in the market on 27 occasions from 52. A very, very slight advantage in taking the evens on offer. I then decided to have a look at the rest of the players and their true odds and here’s what I found.

Who Has Hit The Highest Weekly 3 dart average in the Premier League seasons 2008-2011

Phil Taylor 27 weeks from 52 weeks played
James Wade 7 weeks from 52 weeks played
Adrian Lewis 6 weeks from 38 weeks played
Raymond van Barneveld 4 weeks from 52 weeks played
Simon Whitlock 2 weeks from 24 weeks played
Gary Anderson 1 week from 10 weeks played
Mark Webster 1 week from 10 weeks played
Terry Jenkins 1 week from 52 weeks played

Taking those figures I then looked at the Stan James prices on offer for Week 10’s round of games played last night and calculated the true odds from the percentages players have won the market each week.

Phil Taylor: Stan James price evens, true odds evens
James Wade: Stan James price 16-1, true odds 13-2
Adrian Lewis: Stan James price 7-1, true odds 11-2
Raymond van Barneveld: Stan James price 7-1, true odds 11-1
Simon Whitlock: Stan James price 7-1, true odds 11-1
Gary Anderson: Stan James price 6-1, true odds 9-1
Mark Webster: Stan James price 16-1, true odds 9-1
Terry Jenkins: Stan James price 16-1 , true odds 50-1

In summation James Wade is hugely overpriced at 16-1 although he hasn’t came out on top in this market since the 2010 League. League debutants Webster and Anderson offer less matches for study having played in only ten apiece and although Webster’s true odds offer value, his confidence has rapidly diminished as he sits bottom of the table. Adrian Lewis is inconsistent but offers a little value. Those to ignore in this market include Anderson, Whitlock, van Barneveld and Terry Jenkins with the latter’s stats being woeful.

4. The Winabobatoo Weekender

Winabobatoo provide English Premier League, Football League and Scottish Premier ratings and systems. Using their own in-house systems to often ‘Win a bob or two’ for their members, they are penning an exclusive Weekend Football Guide to help with your bets every Saturday and Sunday.

Here are my thoughts on a number of weekend matches. They put the selected games into perspective and show how the Winabobatoo ratings offer guidance on where the potential profits are. If you have thoughts, views and opinions on football, the ratings will help guide you away from potential losing bets and point you in the direction of the profitable ones.

Full members have received 77 magazines this season, giving match ratings details for 2153 games in all leagues down to the Conference and SPL.

Everton v Blackburn 1.75

All the ratings significantly favour Everton. Blackburn are in the bottom three on the Winabob ratings.
Everton have been a bit vulnerable in front of goal this season but they’ve scored 26 in 16 home games.

Blackburn have let in 38 in 16 away games. There have been 90 home teams in the Premiership this season that have had a positive value rating. Everton are +9. Those 90 games show:

Bets: 90, Win 49 (54%), Returns 107.48, Profit +17.48, ROI +19.42%. Positive home value ratings in the Premiership are a good place to be.

Here’s an amazing stat for you…backing the draw in those 90 games has returned:
Bets: 90, Draws 29 (32%), Returns 105.29, Profit +15.29, ROI +16.99%.

I’m not particularly a fan of backing the draw but on this evidence my preferred bet would be to have 2 ½ points on a home win, and one point on the draw (3.75). As long as Blackburn don’t win, you’ll make a profit.

Exeter v Leyton Orient 2.50

Leyton Orient had a good run not too long ago. They went a while unbeaten. The ratings weren’t very impressed with their form and they don’t look anything better than average. I don’t think there’s much to chose between these two teams. Exeter are in better form though and the Short-Form rating favours them too. We’d need Exeter to win 40% of the time to break even. I’d put their chance a bit higher than that – probably around 45%, which would mean 10% profit. Exeter is a bet for me.

Fleetwood v Altrincham 1.50

Fleetwood are in the last play-off place at the moment and Altrincham are two points away from getting out of a relegation spot. This could be a bit of a dog-fight and resemble a Cup Tie. Altrincham have lost 14 out of 21 on their travels whilst Fleetwood have won 10 out of 21 at home.

Fleetwood are too vulnerable for me to think 1.50 is a value price. They lost at home to lowly Eastbourne. They’ve drawn against Histon too and those clubs are filling the bottom two spots in the division. This is definitely not one for me.

European/Asian – Volvo China Open
PGA – The Heritage Harbour Town
Champions – Liberty Mutuals Legends
LPGA – Tres Marias Championship

The European Tour continues its worldly travels next week pitching up in China, but sadly it is yet another new course for the tour. It never ceases to amaze me where all the money comes from for these new courses in China – they are huge complexes with millions of pounds spent on them, all hoping they will draw in the “golf tourist dollar” in the future but it really doesn’t help those of us who bet on these events! Many of the big players will have been paid a small fortune to turn up – it doesn’t necessarily follow that they will play well.

On the other hand the PGA turns up for yet another year at Harbour Town – a unique course which benefit’s the shorter more accurate player on tour rather than the bombers for a change. Course form does seem to be important, although Cink (2000) Coceres (2001) and Lonard (2005) all won on their debuts and Baddeley (2006) had missed the cut on his only other visit. Yet, to counter these, last year’s winner Furyk had twice been second, Weekley won back to back, Cink has won twice and Davis Love III no less than five times – it does seem to be one of those courses that once you have mastered it then you could well do again. Personally, I think the key to finding the winner at Harbour Town is to find a player who has been in great form so far this year, as virtually all winners had at least a couple of top ten finishes already that season.

6. Testing The Fink Tank

Dan Jones from SBC has been testing out the free football Fink Tank ratings all season with promising results so far. Each week via this column he highlights the latest value bets according to the ratings.

Here are the latest value bets according to the latest Fink Tank Ratings. You can find some background on this test here.

Fink Tank provide predictions on football games based on their model which is roughly based around shot on target. The Fink Tank team found that shots on target was the best predictor of the outcome of a football game and when you rate this for various attributes you can have a reliable prediction model.

For our test, we use the predictions from Fink Tank and only bet when the predicted % chance is better than the predicted chance implied by the available bookmaker odds. The bigger the difference, the bigger the value on offer in theory.

Last week was a pretty good performance last week with some great value on offer to return 5.05 points profit.

This weeks bets:

Things don’t look so easy this week. Note, if a game isn’t listed, it means there’s no value at all in that game. The West Brom Chelsea game is a Chelsea/ West Brom (12) Double Chance, the same as laying the draw

How to Beat the Bookies with Niche Betting

Just been handed a great article by Mike Bishop from Secret Betting Club on how you can look to beat the bookmakers by using specialists in certain overlooked sports and markets. And with the long summer months ahead, having an expert in Tennis, Golf, Cricket etc… in your corner will certainly give you an invaluable edge.

Take it away Mike…..

One of the best ways to make money betting is to focus on areas where the bookmakers are vulnerable and what we call ‘niche betting’.

In plain English, this means specialising in areas that the overworked and over stretched bookmaker odds compilers may not have time for.

For example, any bookie worth his salt knows all the inside outs of a Man United – Chelsea Champions League game, but how much would they know about Histon V Darlington, a game only 277 people will attend?

Taking this further:

• Do you know more than the bookies when it comes to French & Belgium cycling?
• How much more do you know about minor Golf or Tennis tournaments?
• How strong is your lower league Scottish Football expertise?
• National Hunt chase races – Is this a field you specialise in?

Often bookies simply don’t have the resources or depth of knowledge to cover every single sport or league. They still however price many of these events up and so are very vulnerable to ‘niche betting’ experts.
Niche Betting Experts, Tipsters & Forum Advice

We have long since championed niche betting and recently released our ‘Build Your Own Betting Niche’ article, written specifically for the Secret Betting Club by non-league football betting expert – Skeeve.

Skeeve is well known for being perhaps the best non-league football betting expert out and has been making fantastic profits for a number of years betting in the Blue Square leagues. Bookies hate him but SBC members love him!

His special niche betting guide shows you how to replicate his own success and it’s a great place to start learning about putting it all into practice.

That’s not all though as here at the Secret Betting Club we also feature advice from other specialist experts, review niche betting tipsters and feature free advice up on our members forum.

Check some of our Niche Betting features below…

Betting Expertise & Tipsters

• Cycling Betting – We have a new Cycling expert aboard at SBC in the form of ‘Wheelie’ who is sharing all his expert 2 wheel advice and the details on how he has made this sport pay. Just last weekend he highlighted a 150/1 winner in the ‘Paris Roubaix’ race in France on our members forum. Read more about his strategy in our latest issue and follow all his bets on the forum.

• Tennis – Last month we reviewed a very promising free tipster making great profits from mainly Tennis based advice. With so many Tennis players and tournaments, an expert knowledge in this sport can be very lucrative and this expert has made 160 pts profit from 270 bets since June 2010 on it.

• Scottish Lower League Football – One of the best performing tipsters in the past 12 months has been a tipster who knows a heck of a lot more about Scottish lower league football than many of the bookies do. This season he has made 229 pts profit from just 229 bets supplied.

• Live Football – One well known football tipster has been proofing advice supplied ‘in-play’ during football games and has got off to a flying start. In-play betting is growing very popular and this tipster is at the forefront of taking advantage of bookie mistakes as the game goes on. Find out more with our review of this live tipping service.

• Golf Betting – Recently we also released our new Golf Betting Strategy, showcasing one proven method of narrowing down large golf fields to select the most likely contenders. In just 23 golf tournaments at the end of 2010, this strategy made a 74 pt profit from just 130 pts staked.

On Our Members Forum

It’s not just the expert articles and tipster reviews that we produce here at SBC; many of our members are getting in on the act when it comes to niche betting. Many of them are posting their own expert bets on the SBC members forum on areas such as…

The Weekend Wager from Secret Betting Club

Welcome to this the latest Weekend Wager free betting column produced by the Secret Betting Club.

Each and every Friday through this column we bring together some of the finest experts to give you betting tips, advice and guidance for the next 7 days..

1. Mike Says..

In this column, Secret Betting Club co-editor and professional gambler Mike Bishop discusses some of the weeks most topical betting issues.

It’s the first day of the month and this means but one thing – our latest SBC Issue has just been released, which is now up to #59 – just 1 month short of our 5 year anniversary!

When we sit down each month at our Issue planning meetings, the goal is to always make each new one better than the last and I definitely think we have succeeded this month with a bumper crop of articles and reviews.

Free Tennis & Football Advice

One of our feature tipster reviews this month focused on an excellent looking free service that we have been monitoring since 2010. I would really recommend those of you keen on all things free betting wise (who isn’t!) to check this site out while it remains so readily available.

The standard of profit from this tipster would put a lot of paid for services to shame, as they have picked up 209 pts profit from just 873 pts staked over 353 bets in total since June 2010. This makes their profit on turnover a fantastic 23.94%, which means that for every £100 you stake, you win £123.94 back including stake.

What’s more the guy who runs the site has a background in high-level finance and so really knows how to maximise your staking on his bets. His easy to follow percentage based staking suggestion would have grown your own starting bank a whopping 602% since June last year when he started!

These figures are naturally great but there are some concerns about the service, which we directly explore in our exclusive review (no-one has reported back on this tipster). These concerns are not enough to stop you profiting from their advice but it’s well worth understanding how best to follow this service. Full details are in our review in Issue 59.

Horses To Follow Lists

You may recall in this column before Cheltenham I highlighted the article we had just published for members on the top jockeys to follow (and also to avoid) at both that festival and in racing in general.

Well to expand on this theme, this month we publish a superb guest article from regular SBC contributor – ‘Piecost’ on how he has fared following 3 different ‘Horses to Follow’ lists over the past NH season.
Piecost has been regularly sharing his progress on our forum over the NH racing months and the final figures indicate he has hit upon a fantastic source of profits!

To explain briefly, horses to follow products are basically lists of up and coming horses to keep an eye on from the start of the racing season. The 3 lists Piecost tracked this season ranged in price from £7.99 to £35 and he followed the highlighted horses from all 3 to £1 level stakes throughout the season.

The end result?

He ended up backing 265 horses over the course of the season and made a profit of 64.38 pts.

Not bad for an outlay of £67.99 for the 3 lists and at a simple £20 stakes, that’s a clear profit of £1219.61.

You can read more about Piecost and his horses to follow research in Issue 59, which you can pick up instantly as soon as you join us at the Secret Betting Club.

The cost of joining us equates to just 19p a day and with our full money back guarantee if not satisfied, you can join us with full confidence that if you find us not to your taste – you won’t lose out
(Although we only offer this is we are very confident you will enjoy our service!)

Until next week…

2. Mike’s Football Bets

Mike analyses the forthcoming football betting opportunities over the next week and highlights a few bets he feels offer value. This is part of a season-long experiment to see the likely returns from such an approach and to build up a public record.

Finally back with Premier League action after the inescapably dull International friendlies in midweek, where for once I find myself agreeing with Sir Alex that they should be scrapped all together. If I was a bookie I would love these games as they are so hard to call and uncompetitive yet high profile – perfect for helping build that bookmaker pension fund.

Thankfully though, there seems to be a whole host of good value bets on offer this weekend, starting down at Upton Park where I think the 1.92 about 3 or more goals looks to worth an interest. West Ham’s home games for the past 2 seasons have gone overs roughly 62% of the time, whilst United away have seen overs in 73% this season (47% last). I am far from convinced about the Hammers defence and I fear they will struggle to cope with the attacking thrust down the flanks with Antonio Valencia back fit to join Nani out wide. Odds of 1.92 suggest the chance of overs is 52%, whereas I make it closer to 60%.

Wigan have a reputation for 2 things – eating pies and low scoring games but yet they are 11th in the table for goals scored and conceded this season and in their home games against the top 4 have let in 14 and scored only 2 (no idea where they stand in the pie consumption league table!). They face Spurs who themselves have seen over 2.5 goals in 60% of games away this year and I make the chances of over 2.5 goals around 55%, whereas the bookies have priced this up at 2.10 – a percentage chance of just 47.6%.

There is evidence to suggest that Stuart Holden was the most effective midfielder in the Premier League this season and Bolton are certainly going to miss him after his horror injury against Man Utd last time out. I have fancied the trotters all season long in a number of bets but I think they will have their work cut out without Holden away at Birmingham who I am backing with an 0 Asian Handicap at 1.83. Bolton have actually only won 2 away games all season, whereas Birmingham have lost only 4 in total at home. I make the home win % chance considerably higher than the away win % chance, so with a draw returning our money and decent odds, some value here.

The bookies have cottoned on to the fact that Blackpool’s games will always feature lots of goals under Holloway and as such there is next to no value in the over markets these days. Games involving the Tangerines have seen 105 goals this season, compared to just the 66 involving Fulham, who they travel to face this weekend. We should see a very contrasting game here with Fulham’s rigid 4-4-2 up against Blackpools 4-3-3 deriative and I fancy the away team with a +1 Asian Handicap at 2.04. Fulham have won just 3 out of 11 games at home by more than 1 goal, whereas Blackpool despite their gung-ho approach have lost just 3 out of 13 by more than 1 goal against non top 5 sides.

Main Bets
1 pt over 2.5 goals. West Ham V Man Utd 1.92* Ladbrokes
1 pt Birmingham +0 Asian Handicap V Bolton. 1.83 Pinnacle
1 pt over 2.5 goals. Wigan V Spurs. 2.10 Paddy Power/Stan James
1 pt Blackpool +1 Asian Handicap V Fulham. 2.04 Canbet/SBObet/12bet

Shortlist Bets
1 pt over 2.5 goals. Newcastle V Wolves.  1.96 Pinnacle/12bet

*All odds correct at time of release on SBC Blog

Just to clarify, although we have members and some tipsters providing some free tips and systems, we are primarily a review service. Please dont expect miracles or read too much into this experiment!

3. A Sporting Chance

Scott Armstrong is The Sportsman who provides his regular expert betting advice on a range of sports such as Darts, Racing & Football. Each week via this column you can find his latest betting insight and expect some advice in fairly untapped markets – his speciality!

I generally price up the weekend football matches on a Thursday after the midweek games are done and dusted. It would be highly unusual for me to find more than three matches in the whole UK card where the prices look askew in the match market odds. That’s why I mostly operate in subsidiary markets as the layers offer poor lines in comparison with true odds. There is the option of Asian handicap’s which can offer more value but I would only take this route if I fancied the underdog to do well. It can be most frustrating when needing a favourite at home to win -2 when they have obviously given up on scoring more goals when sitting 2-0 up with 15 minutes to go and a big midweek European match lying in wait. The subsidiary markets are where the value lies.

A quick look at ten years of previous years of results tells me where I have been profitable and unprofitable over the years. I take out all the unprofitable markets over that period of time when looking at the weekends matches. That leaves me primarily with the following markets which have been winning ones over the years: goals lines, corners lines and bookings lines.

Lets have a quick perusal individually at a few of those specific markets with the weekends matches in mind.

Over 2.5 goals has been a clarion call for Blackpool with their gung-ho spirit in the Premier League. Unfortunately they play Fulham at the weekend and the London side tend to keep things tight. Manchester United over the years have been good for goals but the price is often very short on over 2.5 with the expectation of the layers that they can record a comfortable success. Upton Park has been good for goals but will the price be worthwhile? Of interest this weekend is the fact that there has been a goal in the last 15 minutes of Wigan’s home matches in five of the last seven. On Saturday they face Spurs and in nine of their last eleven away matches there has been a goal from 75 to 90 minutes. Around the evens mark a goal in the last 20 minutes could be a shrewd investment.

Under 2.5 goals is always worth a secondary look when Stoke are at home. With Chelsea being away to the “Potters” the layers might over estimate the chances of goals and a check on the price for under 2.5 goals is suggested.

With regards to corners totals Aston Villa are the Premier League corners kings and any match they participate the corners line must be looked at. This Saturday they are away to Everton who are averaging 7.08 corners per match at home, the total corners market should go on the shortlist awaiting layers prices. Manchester City over the past few years have proved fruitful to follow to gain most corners at home. To obtain a working man’s price though you have to look at playing them on a handicap and they have only covered -2 in 4 from 11 home matches this term.

For low card counts head for Fulham. 73% of their home matches have gone under 3.5 cards this season and in Blackpool’s away matches 75% of their games have went under 3.5 cards.

If your old school and still punting only on match odds markets it may be time to re-educate yourself in the stats based subsidiary markets to reach the top of the betting class.

4. The Winabobatoo Weekender

Winabobatoo provide English Premier League, Football League and Scottish Premier ratings and systems. Using their own in-house systems to often ‘Win a bob or two’ for their members, they are penning an exclusive Weekend Football Guide to help with your bets every Saturday and Sunday.

Away teams priced 2.75 and above are a proven profit area for the Winabobatoo ratings. The games flagged by the Winabobatoo Betting Systems for away teams in this price group this season have made a profit of +41.65 points to one point level stakes bets, which is 12.32% ROI.

This weekend Colchester fit the bill to win at Sheff Wed and look worth a wager at 3.50, currently available with Victor Chandler and Unibet. The Winabob members took the 3.75 that was available on Thursday. I wouldn’t advise that you take less than 3.50 but hopefully this price will still be available by the time you read this.

Good luck to everyone,

Mike Lindley

PGA Tour – US Masters
Only the one event on next week and it’s the first Major of the year – the Masters from Augusta National. With Majors I tend to bet differently and build up a portfolio of bets leading up to the event, although betting antepost on golf can be fraught with danger with potential loss of form or injury, but sometimes the price makes it worthwhile. The Masters is quite a good event to bet ante post in, as it has a limited field, most of whom have already gained entry. It’s played at the same venue at the same time each year so it’s not such a lottery! The bets I have listed below are those which I have struck over the last four months with prices at the time – better prices were also taken on the exchanges and some of the prices are still fairly similar. It might encourage you to build a portfolio, if nothing else, for the rest of the Majors this season and beyond. There is every chance I will add a few more bets so keep an eye on the blog.

20th December – Matt Kuchar 80/1 e/w
What I couldn’t understand was why the man who won the money list in 2010 was 80/1? Matt Kuchar really has been incredibly consistent for a long time – ever since he hit form in October last year when he won at Atunyote. His Major record isn’t exceptional but isn’t that bad – last year his finishes read 24/6/27/10 and 2010 was the first time he had played the Masters since 2002 when he missed the cut. He played Augusta twice as an amateur making the cut both times and in 1998 he was low amateur. Last year’s 24th place finish was achieved in difficult circumstances as he played the first two rounds with Tiger on his return to competition. He says he feels at home at Augusta as he went to Georgia Tech. He has maintained his strong form all year and is now generally a 33/1 shot. Expect a strong performance.

25th February Ryan Moore 125/1 e/w
Moore played Augusta twice as an amateur – in 2003 he made the cut and then in 2005 he finished 13th and was impressively first in the all round stats for the week! Last year he played for the first time in five years and was the best putter all week, closing with his best round at Augusta of 68 to finish 14th. I think with that experience under his belt and a clear affinity for the place, he will go well this year.

March 10th YE Yang 100/1 e/w
Yang is in much the same form he was in before he won the US PGA Championship in 2009 and is a player who is constantly underrated by the bookmakers – I have won more money on him than any other golfer. He has a solid Masters record and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he could build on last year’s 8th place finish.

March 30th Trevor Immelman 125/1 e/w
I have had an eye on Immelman for the last few months after his coach said he had never seen him swinging the club so well, but I did wait to see him showing that on the golf course before biting the bullet. Since his win in 2008 he has finished 20th and 14th to add to his 5th in 2005, so is clearly very much at home at Augusta.

6. Testing The Fink Tank

Dan Jones from SBC has been testing out the free football Fink Tank ratings all season with promising results so far. Each week via this column he highlights the latest value bets according to the ratings.

Here are the latest value bets according to the latest Fink Tank Ratings. You can find some background on this test here.

Fink Tank provide predictions on football games based on their model which is roughly based around shot on target. The Fink Tank team found that shots on target was the best predictor of the outcome of a football game and when you rate this for various attributes you can have a reliable prediction model.

For our test, we use the predictions from Fink Tank and only bet when the predicted % chance is better than the predicted chance implied by the available bookmaker odds. The bigger the difference, the bigger the value on offer in theory.

7. The Friday Freebie

Let’s get everyone off to an instantly profitable start to the new month!

Anyone following us on TWITTER (@bet72 by the way) will have seen recently we have been pulling profits from a number of unlikely sources. Perhaps one of the most unlikely source (and fast becoming a steady drip feed for bet72ers) is the pools company, VERNONS

In its heyday “The Pools” was played by over 10 million people, making fortune for winners as families huddled around their radio or TV every Saturday teatime to find out if they had the magic 8 score draws. Well now they have relaunched themselves into the 21st century and are falling over themselves with free offers, we have had 3 this week alone (that has been over £40 in profit for literally a few minutes clicking), and made money from them all on low risk games or equally could be used as a risk free punt towards some even bigger prizes.

So if you want a steady stream of free low risk offers then do get signed up.

Initially you get a free £20 bonus once you have deposited and wagered the first £20.  This can be wagered on any of their games, blackjack, roulette, deal or no deal and even top trumps (yes you can play that online now too!).  Just email info@bet72.com if you want any strategies ideas for any of the games on the site.

After that you will get a £20 bonus, £10 to be used on £10 on lottery / football pools section of the site and the other on ANY of their games.

With one tenner you can play any game in the Lottery / Pools / Bingo see this as a free little bonus punt, you never know, and few bet72ers have had a few tasty wins already, so it could be you (as they say!).
With the other £10 bonus you can go back and play on any game in the Instant Win section so again all the usual low risk suspects can be used and you just need to turn it over once to withdraw.

Then withdraw your profits and your £10 punt on lotto / pools will still be intact, brilliant.  Then watch you inboxes for more of the same on a regular basis (and of course feel free to email if you want any advice on playing the future offers for profit too).

Here is the link to get started:

The Weekend Wager from Secret Betting Club

Welcome to this the latest Weekend Wager free betting column produced by the Secret Betting Club

Each and every Friday through this column we bring together some of the finest experts to give you betting tips, advice and guidance for the next 7 days..

1. Mike Says..

In this column, Secret Betting Club co-editor and professional gambler Mike Bishop discusses some of the weeks most topical betting issues.

From a technology perspective, it’s never been easier to be a punter. Most of us these days are aware that we no longer have to head down to the high street bookmakers in the bookies in the rain to place our bets. We can do all our betting from the comfort of our PC. Log-on, click a few buttons and voila – our bets are on!

The only downside of this (if you can call it that) is the need to be behind a computer. This is not always practical for many reasons, perhaps the wife wants to take you shopping or you have to surreptitiously bet at work when the boss isn’t looking.

Well if that’s the case for you, help is at hand thanks to the technology out there now to help you bet from phone to PC. With the right smart-phone, some easy to use software and a bit of guidance, it’s never been easier to use your phone (or iPad) to remotely access your PC at home and use that to place your bets. When doing this you are can effectively use all aspects of your PC, simply via your phone’s screen.

There are big advantages to this, as very often your PC can access websites in full rather than a stripped down phone version as well as being a lot more powerful overall. Odds comparison sites like www.oddsportal.com or www.bestbetting.com are so much easier to access via your PC, helping you to spot the best odds quicker.

Our Tech Expert Explains How

That is why in this month’s latest issue of the Secret Betting Club, we had our tech expert write a full explanation of all you need to bet from phone to PC. This includes explaining some of the tech jargon (there isn’t much to learn here) and a look at the best mobile phones currently on the market to use. He also detailed the £18 software called Logmein needed to help you connect your phone to your PC and how easy it is to use.

If you want to bet on the move, this article is a must-read and if will also help you if you are simply keen to find out the best phone for directly betting with. There is so much choice these days on whether to choose an iPhone, Android or Windows 7 mobile phone and he shares the pro’s and con’s on all the different options available.

2. Mike’s Football Bets

My football betting this weekend starts over at the Reebok where Bolton host Villa in a game where I feel the over 2.5 goals line is offering value. Bolton’s home games have seen an average of 3 goals scored, whilst Villa’s similar away record is 3.14 goals so the odds of 2.03 on offer for over 2.5 goals is worth a pop. Villa are also going to be missing Cuellar and James Collins, 2 very important defenders although with the likes of Bent, Young and Albrighton will retain a real cutting edge up front.

I’m going for the same goals outlook when Wolves host Spurs on Sunday as both these teams have seen the overs mark hit in respective home and away games 64% and 57% of times. With 2.10 on over 2.5 goals, the bookies think this a 47.6% chance, where I make it around 55% so big value by my calculations. Spurs also have most of their creative hub back with Modric & Van Der Vaart fit and I can’t see Wolves defence keeping a clean sheet.

My last main bet features Man City against a Wigan team who ship goals against the very best teams as in their 7 games against the top 5 this season they have scored 2, yet conceded 19! It was a similar pattern last year and they will really struggle with the pace and movement of Tevez, Dzeko, Ballotelli and Silva if fit. You can get 1.90 on Man City to overcome a -1.25 Asian Handicap and I don’t think Wigan’s defence will be able to prevent a comfortable home win here.

A few shortlist bets to speak of, firstly over at Anfield as Liverpool host Man Utd. United have won only 4 times away this season, whereas Liverpool have lost just twice at home before Dalglish took over. The loss of Vidic and Ferdinand cannot be understated either as these two are a quiet superb central defensive pairing and I am taking Liverpool to overcome a 0 Asian Handicap. Close to being a main bet.

I was undone for a profit last weekend thanks to Carlos Vela’s offside equaliser against Stoke on Monday night although undeterred I am taking on West Brom once again as on Saturday they have a tough fixture away at Birmingham. As Arsenal found out to their cost, Alex McLeish’s men are not to be under-estimated and the -0.25 AH at 2.08 offers a shade of shortlist value.
Finally I want to take on Blackburn’s defence on the road with an over 2.5 goal line involving their trip to Fulham. 79% of all their away games have gone overs and they will miss captain Ryan Nelson this weekend. It’s a shortlist bet as Fulham are not the most adventurous team so does depend on how Mark Hughes approaches the game.

Main Bets
1 pt Over 2.5 goals. Bolton V Aston Villa.  2.03 188bet
1 pt Man City -1.25 Asian Handicap V Wigan. 1.90 Ladbrokes
1 pt Over 2.5 goals. Wolves V Spurs. 2.10 Pinnacle/Paddy

Shortlist Bets
1 pt Over 2.5 goals. Fulham V Blackburn. 2.16 Canbet/SBObet
1 pt Liverpool 0 Asian Handicap V Man Utd. 2.09 Pinnacle
1 pt Birmingham -0.25 Asian Handicap V West Brom.  2.08 Bet365/12Bet

Whatever you bet on, good luck!
Mike

3. A Sporting Chance

Scott Armstrong is The Sportsman who provides his regular expert betting advice on a range of sports such as Darts, Racing & Football. Each week via this column you can find his latest betting insight and expect some advice in fairly untapped markets – his speciality!

The Cheltenham festival is looming fast and I have advised two selections this week and below is the advice sent out to members. My only other advised account bet for the festival was Peddlers Cross back in August, to win the Champion Hurdle @ 20-1.

MEDERMIT each-way @ 4-1 for Arkle on 15th March, William Hill, Coral, Boylesports.

My initial impression with Medermit was that he would require more of a stamina test than the 2 miles on offer in the Arkle. He has also been a monkey refusing to play the game when heavy odds on at Huntingdon but in a bigger field at a sharper pace at Cheltenham, a track he loves, he will show his true colours. Alan King’s charge has a good turn of speed and likely ground of good to soft will be of no hindrance. Regarding the dangers I like Ghizao but don’t believe Finian’s Rainbow has offered enough to justify being the same odds as Medermit. Medermit’s last two performances in competitive novice chases represent a greater form line than anything Finian’s Rainbow has in the book. Ghizao is a very slick jumper and was particularly impressive in the Grade 2 November Novices Chase and represents a live danger. In summation Medermit took a while to get the hang of fences and indeed was obviously not in love with this new sphere initially but has got his act together and is Alan King’s best chance of a festival success.

ZARKANDAR each-way @ 7-1 for Triumph Hurdle on 18th March, Ladbrokes, William Hill, Coral, Paddy Power, Boylesports, Betfred.

I like the look of Grandouet for the Triumph Hurdle and may yet advise a bet on him, currently best odds of 6-1. Nicky Henderson has won the race for the last two consecutive years and Grandouet obviously holds serious claims. At the front end of the market I am unconvinced by Unaccompanied and I can’t have A Media Luz, even at double figures. Sam Winner has a more obvious chance to get in the frame at the same price. He gained valuable experience in France over the summer and illustrated that in November, powering home to beat Grandouet by 15 lengths in the Triumph Hurdle trial. His last run however in the Grade 1 Juvenile Hurdle two months ago was a major disappointment and you would would need to forgive him that poor show. A stablemate from the Paul Nicholls yard is my selection – Zarkandar. He produced a great performance on Saturday in the Class 1, Grade 2 Adonis Juvenile Hurdle at Newbury, the same race that produced last year’s winner Soldatino. Zarkandar travelled menacingly and showed an impressive turn of foot to take the lead at the two furlong pole and importantly with Cheltenham in mind, stoutly resisted Molatof’s challenge in tenacious style on the run-in. At the current odds he represents decent value as an each-way play.

I am offering a free trial to sample my trade bets on The Sportsman Racing site for the next few months. Join up at www.twitter.com/sportsmanracing. All three months have shown great profits with a return on investment of 24% since initiation and 252% return on investment to risk. All previous trades are viewable on twitter.

4. The Winabobatoo Weekender

Winabobatoo provide English Premier League, Football League and Scottish Premier ratings and systems. Using their own in-house systems to often ‘Win a bob or two’ for their members, they are penning an exclusive Weekend Football Guide to help with your bets every Saturday and Sunday.

I found some nice priced winners in midweek including Carlisle’s win at Charlton (4.60) and Bury’s win at Shrewsbury (3.20). The Winabobatoo Betting Systems highlighted 11 winners from 17 selections. Let’s hope we can keep the good run going into the weekend.

There seem to be few stand-out bets as value seems a little thin on the ground. I’m going to side with a team that have been very hot lately, although they lost at York on Tuesday. They certainly weren’t outplayed in that game, and should be far too good for this weekend’s opponents.

Tip: Gateshead to win at Altrincham  – available with Blue Square at 2.15, generally available at 2.00.

Special Offer:
Last chance to secure one of the 30 places available at Winabobatoo. Join now and get the rest of the season for just £20.
Once all 30 places are filled the offer will end.

Good luck with your betting.

5. Putting For Profit

Ian Richards runs Sportsbettingindex.com, a betting portal which includes an odds comparison site, free tips and betting blog – helping the punter for the last 10 years.

WGC – Cadillac Championship Doral
PGA – Puerto Rico Open
Champions – Toshiba Classic
Euro Challenge – Abierto International Columbia

The next WGC event on the calendar takes place this coming week with the format returning to a 72 hole stroke play as opposed to match play and comes from the Doral course in Florida. This will be the fifth time the event takes place, although there had been a PGA tour event from Doral for many years. The four winners probably tell us to look at the favourites/Major winners when you consider they are Els, Mickelson, Ogilvy and Woods, although with the top Americans seemingly in the doldrums there could well be some value to be had slightly lower down the pecking order. Last year was quite interesting in that only one American actually broke into the top ten so it could also be interesting seeing how a top American market is priced up.

On the other hand, the three winners of the Puerto Rico Open – Derek Lamely, Michael Bradley and Greg Kraft are hardly what one would call household names! It is a bit difficult to give much of a clue as to what sort of player is likely to win, but the players all think that the Trump International course is very much like playing in Florida and the wind will definitely be a factor as it is situated on the coast.

6. Testing The Fink Tank

Dan Jones from SBC has been testing out the free football Fink Tank ratings all season with promising results so far. Each week via this column he highlights the latest value bets according to the ratings.

Here are the latest value bets according to the latest Fink Tank Ratings. You can find some background on this test here.

7. The Friday Freebie

Well it is not long now until the biggest sporting event of the year gets underway, no I don’t mean Reading in the FA Cup Quarter Finals against Man City (although that is big enough for me!).  No the Cheltenham Festival 2011 and as always bet72.com will be right in the thick of the action bringing you all the news, views, tips and offers from Prestbury Park.

In fact the offers have started already, with Paddypower and Boylesports first to announce deals for Day One. So we have just added this year’s section to the site, with anything and everything you will need and these will increase daily the closer we get to the 15th (so the link below is well worth a bookmark).

http://bet72.com/cheltenham2011/

Away from the GeeGees it has been great to see March Madness kick in and we have had a sudden wave of bookmakers increasing (yes you did read it correctly), increasing their free bet offers. So now is a great time to jump onboard and earn yourself a few extra £’s (or €’s) ready for reinvestment in all those lovely Cheltenham deals!

My general advice at this time of year is to hold fire on any of the “big high street” name bookmakers who carry horse racing if you are planning on joining them, as hopefully this time next week our Cheltenham page will be overflowing with bigger sign up deals from all the big racing bookies ready for the 15th for these but we have some other notable improvers for March.

What a great way to start the month!

Welcome to this the latest Weekend Wager free betting column produced by the Secret Betting Club.

Each and every Friday through this column we bring together some of the finest experts to give you betting tips, advice and guidance for the next 7 days..

1. Mike Says..

In this column, Secret Betting Club co-editor and professional gambler Mike Bishop discusses some of the weeks most topical betting issues.

As usual at this time of month, we are busy applying the finishing touches to our latest Secret Betting Club Issue, which will be released on Monday the 28th of Feb.

It’s already shaping up to be quite a bumper issue, with a whole host of guest articles, betting insight and independent reviews to keep you up-to-date with the world of professional betting.

Check out some of the highlights we have lined up for this month’s issue…

• The inside line from Blue Square League tipster Skeeve on his 10 commandments about building your own betting niche. Find out how he went from complete novice to expert on the non-league betting scene and how you can repeat it for your own chosen niche.
• Betting on the move – We reveal the best mobile phones for getting your bets on while out and about.

Tommo The Tipster

In this month’s Secret Betting Club issue we are also building up our recommended list of blog resources for our members to check out if interested in reading more about betting.

One such blog post caught my eye this week, in the form of this old chestnut from the High Class Equine site that re-visited the 2001 Observer article on Channel 4 racing presenter Derek Thompson (Tommo) and his tipping line. The article recalls how Tommo managed to tip loser after loser at short-prices on his premium line with 72 out of 89 tips losing during a period of testing without a hint of
shame.

Thankfully though the likes of Tommo are part of a dying breed of tipsters who don’t proof results with any transparency and the likes of which are a world apart from many of the professional services we recommend. This is because all our Secret Betting Club Hall of Fame tipsters are fully proofed with genuine results.

If keen to find out more on the best tipsters, consider a Secret Betting Club membership today.

Free Paul Jones Cheltenham Preview

Make sure as well that you read the free Cheltenham race preview that racing expert Paul Jones has kindly made available to all our readers. You can find a short excerpt below on his take on the Fred Winter Juvenile Hurdle with the full article available on our blog.

FRED WINTER JUVENILE HANDICAP HURDLE (GRADE 3)

Although the ‘Fred Winter’ is developing a number of very strong patterns so early in its existence (remarkably I’ve found as many as 12 worthy of being listed in the Trends Summary), I am aware that this may come across as a blatantly obvious statement but, trying to finding the handicap blot is key here and, boy, was there one last season as Sanctuaire left his rivals stone motherless dead. Paul Nicholls knew it beforehand. All he would say when discussing the race at the Sandown Preview Evening was: “He’ll win” and not a word more. French-bred hurdlers have really come to the fore in this race but take note of the top-rated horses from the Flat too as they have won or finished second in three of the six runnings. No new trends to add this season, only a strengthening of existing ones which is what I like for winner-finding purposes and Sanctuaire ticked virtually every main box 12 months ago hitting the crucial ones square on the head.

2. Mike’s Football Bets

Back this week with an almost full Premier League card with 8 games over the course of the weekend to work with and I have 4 Main bets that have caught my eye.

Starting up at the Britannia Stadium, I am keen on Stoke to have too much for West Brom, especially considering the 2.00 price that Hills are offering. The Potters this season have been very strong at home, winning 54% of games and they certainly will target this type of match for all 3 points. West Brom on the other hand have been very dodgy at the back in recent months and will struggle against Stoke’s aerial bombardment. They have lost 69% of away games this year and despite the arrival of Roy Hodgson, it will take some time for him to get them better organized on the road. Odds of 2.00 suggest Stoke have a 50% chance of victory, and I make it more like 55% so a bit of value here.

Talking of Roy Hodgson, his former charges Fulham continue to prosper from the work he did on making them extremely hard to beat away from home. This is backed up by the stats as they have gone under 2.5 goals in 69% of games on the road this year with a clear policy of going for the 0-0 draw in matches against the top teams. Ladbrokes are kind enough to offer 1.97 on the under 2.5 goals market, which is a 50.7% chance, whereas I again make this more of a 1.85 to 1.90 shot so value here. As an added incentive, Mark Hughes will be even more keen for Fulham to give nothing away as he returns to Man City for the first time since being fired.

The transformation of Liverpool under Kenny Dalglish has been very impressive and bookies have been quick to note how tight matches involving his charges now are, as judged by the measly 1.75 on under 2.5 goals in their game away at West Ham. My interest involves backing Liverpool to overcome a -0.25 Asian Handicap at 1.93 as the Hammers under Avram Grant remain very poor and they have lost at home against all the top teams this season.  This bet gives us some cover in case of a draw and I can see a well organized Liverpool with Steven Gerrard likely to be back causing lots of problems.

One final bet on goals in the game featuring Villa and Blackburn as the away team have been very leaky on the road, going over 2.5 goals in 77% of games. Villa have improved offensively as well with Darren Bent leading the line and look a lot more threatening up front these days at home so the 1.96 on over 2.5 goals looks a good investment. I make the true odds on this market again lower than 1.90 so some value here.

3. A Sporting Chance

Scott Armstrong is The Sportsman who provides his regular expert betting advice on a range of sports such as Darts, Racing & Football. Each week via this column you can find his latest betting insight and expect some advice in fairly untapped markets – his speciality!

Away from the razzmatazz of the Premier League darts live on Sky every week the darting world proceeds quietly most weekends with the bread and butter PDC Pro Tour non-televised events in Players Championships and UK Open events. They are not tournaments for major punts as all the matches are a race to six legs, the equivalent of a bullet race in horse racing, but there are a few players worth following who can get you into the black in 2011.

The conditions are very different for the floor events with only a few hundred guests allowed entry but it brings out the best in some lower ranked players away from the television lights. I have taken a look back over the last two years (2009 & 2010) which incorporates 84 Players Championship and UK Open events. The theme was to look at competitors at bigger odds, to gauge statistically by the amount of tournaments won, if they offer any value.

Mark Walsh has won seven events from the eighty-four contested which is approximately one in twelve, therefore you would expect him to be around the 12-1 mark. On most occasions his odds will be signifcantly higher than 12-1, and indeed he is currently 33-1 for this weekends events. The 2nd best winning record for the longer priced players belongs to both Wes Newton and Jamie Caven. Newton has won 4 events from 84 and odds of around 22-1 would be a fair price. He is 28-1 for these tournaments presently. It’s noticeable three from four Newton wins came in 2010 telling of a much improved player. Jamie Caven has also lifted four floor tournaments and already pocketed one of the four events played in 2011. Caven is 28s this weekend. Veteran of the oche Dennis Priestley has taken honours in three events and though he will be cutting back on the circuit this season, he is worth a bet when playing on the floor and is rated a huge 80-1 shot these days.

By following proven winners Walsh, Newton and Caven blindly to level stakes in the floor events this year you should come out in front. In 2009 they mopped up seven events between them and last year’s cumulative haul was eight.

Winabobatoo Football Match Ratings

I have a members’ forum at Winabobatoo. Three of my members very kindly post their weekly bets and share their analysis with other members. Surprisingly, I have a very disproportionate number of West Brom fans at Winabobatoo. There is some nice banter between them as to how the Baggies are likely to do. Early season hopes of making Europe have diminished into a Premiership race for survival. Not wishing to upset them, but I think it is time to oppose West Brom this weekend!

Tip: Stoke to beat West Brom at 1.95  – available with Hills, Victor Chandler, bwin, and Unibet. 1.97 is available with 32Red.

5. Putting For Profit

Ian Richards runs Sportsbettingindex.com, a betting portal which includes an odds comparison site, free tips and betting blog – helping the punter for the last 10 years.

PGA Tour – Honda Classic
Nationwide Tour – Bogota Open

A quiet week next week with only the two events to bet on – maybe some of the odds compilers with time on their hands will have a crack at the Nationwide Tour as they won’t have much else to do!!
The Honda Classic returns to the PGA National course and to be honest it is difficult to see much of a pattern in the four winners there have been so far. I guess one thing you could say is that non-Americans have somewhat dominated, filling lots of the places and providing the last three winners in Villegas, Yang and Els. The course is one of the toughest they play all year and the first three winners posted winning scores of -5, -6 and -9 whilst Villegas won by five last year with -13. The key to playing well at the PGA National is to be on top of all facets of your game and be able to play in the wind as that usually blows.

Oddly enough, last years winner Villegas was just as interested in what was going on in the Nationwide Tour event with his brother Manny playing in the Bogota Open in back home in Columbia. Looking at the state of Camilos’ game at the moment I would guess that his brother has the greater chance of victory next week!

Hopefully over the next few days I will come up with a bit more inspiration so don’t forget to check the blog.

6. Testing The Fink Tank

Dan Jones from SBC has been testing out the free football Fink Tank ratings all season with promising results so far. Each week via this column he highlights the latest value bets according to the ratings.

Here are the latest value bets according to the latest Fink Tank Ratings. You can find some background on this test here.

Fink Tank provide predictions on football games based on their model which is roughly based around shot on target. The Fink Tank team found that shots on target was the best predictor of the outcome of a football game and when you rate this for various attributes you can have a reliable prediction model.

For our test, we use the predictions from Fink Tank and only bet when the predicted % chance is better than the predicted chance implied by the available bookmaker odds. The bigger the difference, the bigger the value on offer in theory.
