Tomorrows horse racing action comes from Kempton Park, Lingfield, Bangor and Newbury our banker of the day is My Moment that we think will be about 2/1 in the 1.45 at Bangor, Have you checked out the new William Hill site yet? If not take a look you might even get a free bet if your a first time client.
Theres also some UEFA Cup football betting action but we would be careful before investing too much as some of these games are dead rubbers.
Raving at Market Rasen has been abandoned tomorrow due to waterlogging so the main races in England come from Kempton and Hereford. The betting exchange Betdaq are the main sponsors at the all weather track.
Mondays usually a poor day for the latest betting action and we wont be getting involved perhaps we just settle for a game of poker with VC Poker
Robinho struck on Thursday night to give us a 6/4 winner and toinght Jermaine Beckford didnt play so we hope you checked the team news for the live FA Cup match as we mentioned as the game ended a 1 all draw.

Weekend Football
Arsenal v Manchester United, Saturday, Sky Sports 1, 12:45pm
Arsenal face Manchester United as one of the biggest rivalries in English football is ignited again. Unusually for this fixture, neither of the two sides are at the top of the Premiership, and are already chasing early leaders Liverpool and Chelsea. Arsenal are in a relatively poor run of form, having been beaten in their last Premiership outing to Stoke, and only drawing their midweek Champions League game to Fenerbache. United are into top gear following a slow start, although they were also disappointed with a draw at Celtic in midweek. It could have been a lot worse for United though, as their equaliser came in the closing moments.
Arsenal are 9/5 with BGbet to overturn their poor form, while Man Utd are 5/4 with Pagebet to build on their recent success.
If Nani scores at anytime during Arsenal v Manchester United, BGbet will refund all losing first goalscorer stakes on the match.
Liverpool v West Bromich Albion, Saturday, Setanta Sports 1, 5:30pm
Joint league leaders Liverpool will be aiming to take sole possession of the lead of the Premiership when they host West Brom at Anfield. They left it late in midweek in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid, an injury time Steven Gerrard penalty gaining a draw. West Brom will be looking to build on last weeks draw with Blackburn Rovers, which was so close to a win. An 89th minute goal from Rovers new boy Andrews sealed a point for Blackburn in what was a fiery match littered with poor refereeing decisions.
Liverpool are the 2/9 favourites with BGbet to go top of the Premiership outright, while West Brom are 14/1 underdogs with Centrebet to win for the first time in six games.
If Dirk Kuyt scores at anytime during Liverpool v West Brom, BGbet will refund all losing first goalscorer stakes on the match.¹
Blackburn Rovers v Chelsea, Sunday, Sky Sports 1, 1:30pm
Chelsea meet Blackburn on Sunday at Stamford Bridge, and could be chasing Liverpool by that time. They will be glad to get back to Premiership action following their defeat in midweek, when they were beaten 3-1 by Roma. They were in superb form before that defeat, with 5-0 and 3-0 wins over Sunderland and Hull consecutively in the run up to that game. Blackburn will feel confident if they go into the last five minutes only a goal behind, as they have scored in the last five minutes of their previous three Premiership games.
Blackburn are 11/2 with Bgbet to upset Scolari’s men, with Chelsea 1/2 at VCbet to maintain their position at the top of the Premiership.
If Joe Cole scores at anytime during Blackburn v Chelsea, BGbet will refund all losing first goalscorer stakes on the match.¹
Fulham v Newcastle United, Sunday, Sky Sports 1, 4:00pm
Fulham welcome a rejuvenated Newcastle side on Sunday, looking for its third straight win under Joe Kinnear. Consecutive wins over West Brom and Aston Villa have the Magpies looking up the Premiership, rather than down, and Obafemi Martins in particular is in a rich vein of form. He has three goals in the last two games, and Fulham will look to stop him. Fulham will be looking for some consistency following recent reults, and will be glad they are back at Craven Cottage following last weeks defeat to Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday
Fulham are 13/10 favourites with Centrebet to claim a second successive home win, while VCbet make Newcastle 11/5 outsiders to extend their winning streak.
If Shola Ameobi scores at anytime during Fulham v Newcastle, BGbet will refund all losing first goalscorer stakes on the match.¹

1st SCORER 2nd CHANCE

We were wrong with pur prediction that Woolfall Treasure would win the Bet365 race at Haydock it was beaten by the Fav. Tomorrows UK Horse Racing comes from Musselburgh , Fontwell and Hexham all over the jumps with flat racing comming on the floodlit cards at Wolverhampton and Dundalk.
Theres Football Betting Action in the FA Cup with Leeds United taking on Northampton normally we would expect Leeds to win this game but with another Cup game next Tuesday against Derby they might just rest some players. So watch out for the vital team news if Beckford and Becchio start the game it might be worth a small wager on Jermaine Beckford to score the first goal he hasnt hit the target in a while but Leeds create plenty of chances and may be his time has come.
Also dont forget theres some Boxing Betting action on Saturday night when Joe Cazage takes on Roy Jones SNR and Paddy Power have a great offer if Joe C wins by a knockout or a technical knock out they will refund all losing round bets on the fight.
UK horse racing comes from Haydock , Towcester, and Thurles all over the jumps with racing on the flat comming on the all weather service from Lingfield and Great Leighs. Bet365.com are sponsoring the 1.40 at Haydock where we fancy Woolfall Treasure over the likely market leader Balzaccio we expect no early pace which should help Woofall Treasure who has the headgear applied.

Theres also UEFA Cup action with Spurs taking on Dinamo Zagreb from where they purchased Luka Modric last season can Harry’s men keep up their recent pace.Man City and Porsmouth are also in action for the latest football betting take a look at www.football.betting.pn.
We fancy a bet on Robinho to score at anytime currently 6/4 with Sportingbet , he has scored five times at home this season and FC Twente are not the best team away from home. Good luck with all your online bets!
The Rugby League World Cup continues today with Ireland taking on Samoa early in the morning. The Irish team have made a good start and will be hoping to finish top of their group and having the chance of playing in the semi-finals. Samoa are not easy beats and can be lightning quick when in attack. Their defense is a little suspect however and that will be Ireland’s best chance of success. Deprive them of the ball and use it well in attack yourself.
In the second game today, Scotland play Fiji. Fiji are also very quick in attack and their defense is not to bad either. Whilst very fast, the Fijian attack can be loose with their passes and ball handling. Deprive them of possesion and they also become desperate and try to turn every play into a score.
Sportingbet are taking ‘in play’ bets on today’s Rugby League World Cup games. Their outright betting still has Australia leading the way at 1.16 - a clear cut favourite.
The WTA Tour Championships will be an interesting contest with the eight ladies divided into two groups of four. The Williams sisters feature in the Maroon group along with Dinara Safina and Elena Dementieva. The White group features Jelena Jancovic, Ana Ivanovic, Vera Zvonareva and Svetlana Kuznetsova.
In tournament betting, Jelena Jancovic heads the betting at 7/2 from Serena Williams at 4/1. Sister Venus is next at 11/2 along with Ana Ivanovic.
Today’s schedule has Vera Zvonareva playing Svetlana Kuznetsova, and Jelena Jancovic playing Ana Ivanovic in the White group whilst in the Maroon group, Venus William takes on Dinara Safina and Serena Williams playing Elene Dementieva.
Zvonareva is a slight favourite (9/10) to beat Kuznetsova (1/1); Jancovic (8/11) is favoured over Ivanovic (5/4) and Williams sisters short priced to win their events.
In other tennis news, Rafael Nadal has pulled out of the Masters Series final due to a bad knee. He is trying to rest it in preparation for the Davis Cup final against Argentina. This has created a reshuffle of the markets with Federer now favourite at 11/8, Murray second elect at 11/4. Tsonga who is in good form is at 6/1 and expected to perform well.

Arsenal are going through a tough period and it’s not going to get much better. They face Manchester United this weekend. Before that they have a Champions League meeting with Fenerbahce on Wednesday night.
Normally I would back Arsenal without a second thought, at present I think my money is better off in my wallet.
Tuesday night starts this week matches with Liverpool at home to Atletico de Madrid. Liverpool are another team running hot and cold. Although at home Tuesday, there is not a lot of value 8/13 when your not playing well.
The other match on Tuesday has Chelsea traveling to Roma in what should be a thrilling encounter. Chelsea (6/5) have plenty of injury worries to consider and a draw (23/10) may be a good outcome. Roma are 11/4.
Manchester United take the short trip up the road to play Celtic in a traditional match that often produces surprise results. United (8/11) are starting to hit some good form and should be too strong for Celtic (9/2).
Sportingbet have a tremendous Champions League promotion running at present. Make a qualifying bet on any football match at 2.0 or better and they will give you a free prediction on the Champions League outcome. See their site for details.
The first Tuesday in November heralds the feature race on the Australian racing calendar, the Melbourne cup. Run over 3200m (2 miles), it is one of the most testing races in the southern hemisphere. The rich purse has attracted many overseas horses, however victories have been scarce.
Our own Dermott Weld is the only European trainer to bring the famous cup, Japan have won the race once, they actually brought home first and second. This year there is a heavy contingent from Britain and Ireland headed by the Sadler’s Wells breed Septimus who is currently race favourite. Sportingbet have opened their books and have Septimus quoted at 4.50 just ahead of the Luca Cumani trained Mad Rush at 5.00.
Aidan O’Brien has three horses running, Septimus, Alessandro Volta (41.00) and Honolulu (17.00). Luca Cumani has Mad Rush and Bauer (17.00). Dermott Weld is represented this year by the classy 4yo Profound Beauty (9.00).
There has been heavy betting on Profound Beauty in Melbourne with the horse firming from 16.00 to 9.00. Bauer has also been backed heavily firming from 26.00 to 17.00.
The Melbourne Cup does have a historical form profile. Horses that finish in the first five in the Caulfield Cup run well (Mad Rush finished 4th) and horses that have won the Geelong Cup perform well (Bauer won the Geelong Cup to qualify).
They say in Australia that it is the race that stops a nation and it does. This year may well see the Cup returning again to our shores, the question is, who is going to bring home?
Sportingbet is now betting on the Melbourne Cup. I suggest you get in early as there is forecast of light rain, however this may not be enough to dampen the track and the connections of Septimus are considering withdrawing him if the track is too hard. This will reduce the odds of the other horses considerably. My tip - Dermott to do it again with Profound Beauty.
The final Volvo Masters golf tournament suffered a sudden influx of water when the skies opened and dumped 46 mm of rain around the course. Bunkers started to fill with water and the greens became shallow lakes forcing the cancellation of the days play.
Day three will become a completion of day 2 with an early start and the golfers back out in the afternoon to play day three. This tournament is important as it may well determine who finishes on top in the European Order of Merit. Current leader Robert Karlsson had a horror opening day and will lose his number one ranking unless he can perform a few miracles.
Sergio Garcia is the current favourite with Sportingbet at 2.00. Soren Kjeldsen is second pick at 4.33 and Order of Merit new favourite Lee Westwood is at 8.00.
Padraig Harrington, the only other player on the course to seriously challenge for the Order of Merit is well down the leaderboard at +5. Karlsson is at +4 whilst the leaders are currently at -6.
