Get Set For Rhodes Show At 7/2

Abigail McGarry — Wed, 16 May 2012 00:48:15 +0000

Huddersfield are just 1/12 at best with William Hill to reach the League One play-off final after a 2-0 first leg victory over MK Dons put them firmly in the qualification driving seat and Simon Grayon’s men are 5/4 via BetVictor to confirm their place at Wembley by picking up another victory over the Dons at the Galpharm Stadium.

Karl Robinson’s charges are 17/2 courtesy of Paddy Power to dramatically turn things around having suffered such a disappointing reverse on their own patch and bet365 price them at 12/5 to at least emerge triumphant across 90 minutes in West Yorkshire, where it’s 5/2 (Ladbrokes) to finish all square.

However, the Dons look to have left themselves too much to do and the Terriers, with the hard work done, should move a step closer to the Championship with a home success.

Stan James price Town at 3/1 to shade it by one and Coral offer 15/2 for them to grab the game’s only goal but the value lies in a flutter on prolific Huddersfield front man Jordan Rhodes.

The young Scot nodded the Terriers into the lead at stadium:mk and he’s 7/2 with Betfred to again break the deadlock. Alternati

UK v Ireland Eurovision Song Contest Match Bet For 2012 Looking Tight

Rory Luxton — Thu, 10 May 2012 20:51:36 +0000

When it comes to the Eurovision Song contest there is no doubt that the United Kingdom and Ireland love to beat each other and that is certainly the case this year with the countries putting forward two interesting entries. Ireland will be relying on Jedward for the second year on the bounce for the contest in Azerbaijan while the UK have decided to enter 76-year-old Engelbert Humperdinck in the contest

It has to be said that both the UK and Ireland are taking the contest less than seriously these days with both having next to no chance of winning with the eastern European block voting dominating the votes over the post few years.

MLB Betting – Breaking Down The First Month Of Baseball In American League

Archie Walter — Thu, 10 May 2012 07:08:57 +0000

With a month of baseball under our belts, we are now treading the line between making too harsh of assumptions based on what we already know, and too big of denials based on what we expect in the American League. While the Baltimore Orioles and Chicago White Sox are both within reach of first place in their respective divisions, there are many baseball blogs still being published about how they won’t make the playoffs, including those that suggest the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and Boston Red Sox still have a good shot at the postseason despite being buried in their respective division through 24 games.

In the AL East, the Tampa Bay Rays are back on top with 11 wins in 12 games at Tropicana Field, once again capitalizing on a unique blend of pitching consistency and the ability to bring in runs once they get on base. T

AL East 2012 MLB Baseball Predictions: The upcoming baseball season promises to be one of the most anticipated ones in recent memory, especially in the American League East. Of course, one can’t mention the AL East without mentioning one of the biggest rivalries in sports: the Yankees vs Red Sox!

This offseason, we’ve seen quite a bit of controversy and changes for both organizations, especially for the BoSox. With a new manager in Bobby Valentine, it’s going to be interesting to see what changes in the culture of this team the former ESPN analyst will bring.

It has certainly been a busy offseason in Boston, following their late season and PR collapse a year ago. Takin

Rory Luxton — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 23:31:21 +0000

Moore is already a three time Champion Jockey and he will surely have another good season in 2012 with some top class rides to look forward to over the coming months.

March Madness Betting – Potential All-North Carolina Regional Final Looming In Midwest

Archie Walter — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 01:11:54 +0000

It took less than a week for the first three rounds of the March Madness betting tournament to be completed, and while the all four No. 1 seeds made it through to the Sweet 16, there were some underdog stories that made it through, most notably in the Midwest region, where the 11^th-seeded North Carolina State Wolfpack and 13^th-seeded Ohio Bobcats have each made it through. The Wolfpack were all over the San Diego State Aztecs from the opening tipoff in a 14-point first-round win, and then did just enough to knock off a No. 3 seed in Georgetown to get through the third round, but it won’t get any easier for North Carolina State in the Sweet 16, with the overrated/underrated Kansas Jayhawks waiting for them.

Prolific Pair Pay At 13/5

Abigail McGarry — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 20:11:39 +0000

Barcelona are just 2/9 with Boylesports to qualify for the Champions League semi-finals at the expense of last eight opponents AC Milan and a first leg success for the holders is also expected by bookies, BetVictor rating Pep Guardiola’s charges at 3/4 to come out on top in the San Siro.

It’s easy to see why, given that the Catalans club defeated the Rossoneri 3-2 in the group stage of this year’s competition but AC Milan have impressed in their other home fixtures, winning them all ‘to nil’ and hammering Arsenal 4-0 in the last round, so they are likely to make life difficult for Barca.

Furthermore, Massimiliano Allegri’s side secured a draw in the Camp Nou earlier this season and they’re as high as 3/1 (bet365) to repeat the feat on their own patch here.

Nevertheless, it’s perhaps prudent for punters to steer clear of the match betting, focusing their attention instead, on goals, especially as the two sides shared nine in two group meetings and the hosts are without influential defender Thiago Silva.

One way to pocket a profit could be to back a match tally of four or more goals at 9/5 courtesy of Sportingbet, alternatively Lionel Messi is 5/6 (Stan James) to find the net and 3/1 with Blue Square to break the deadlock.

In the evening’s other match, Marseille’s terrible form means that opponents Bayern Munich are Ladbrokes’ 10/11 favourites to pick up a first leg advantage in the Stade Velodrome but again it’s worth considering a goal-related flutter in France, where the prolific Mario Gomez is 5/4 via Betfred to get on the scoresheet at some point.

Coppa Italia: Cavani and Lavezzi chase silverware for Napoli

Abigail McGarry — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 04:38:45 +0000

“Since their defeat at Siena in February, Napoli have won six of their seven domestic fixtures.”

Napoli entertain Siena this evening in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, hoping to overturn a 2-1 deficit from the first leg…

Currently 13 points off the pace in Serie A and out of Europe courtesy of Chelsea, this represents Napoli’s only chance of silverware, and perhaps the last hurrah for Edinson Cavani and co.

Napoli need all the bargaining power they can muster to hold on to their star cast and a sparkling new trophy in the cabinet might be just the ticket.

Walter Mazzarri’s side should perhaps count themselves fortunate to only be a goal behind from the first leg.
