Bet365 have gone 64.5 with the same odds.

Think I'll go under.

Bulls -5 in this weekend's Super 14 semi.
Am half tempted by Chiefs -2 but that one could go either way.

Again in the Irish 1000?

Love Bird - won well on heavy ground in April coming clear of her rivals, often a race in which a second or third string Coolmore horse comes to the attention of the public. 16/1 available.

Reverence now 20/1 tops and Look Busy 12/1, need more rain at Haydock

Sure.

Laying a horse/dog/team is betting on it to lose. It's the opposite of backing and essentially involves you being the bookmaker.

For example - I fancy Manchester United for the Premiership next season whilst you think they won't win it.

I want to back them at 2/1 for £5 and you want to lay them at 2/1 for £5.

Your liability will be £10 (the amount you lose should Manchester United win the Premiership) whilst your potential profit will be £5 (the amount you win if any other team wins the Premiership).

It's the same with horses, rugby league etc I might want to back Saints to beat Leeds by more than 8 points and you might want to lay them.

It's you being the bookmaker rather than the punter and Betfair get around it by a) being offshore and b) running an "exchange" platform of Punter A betting against Punter B.

Thanks alot.

Sorry for the crap Speedway tip yesterday....well it looked good after they had all had 3 heats then the pressure seemed to get to him


Tonight Eastbourne take on Ipswich away and Ladbrokes have the visitors (+11)

Ipswich have won at home this season by 4,3,10 and 11 points and lost by 2.

Eastbourne away have won at Poole, been thrashed by Lakeside (not helped by No 1 rider Davey Watt having to pull out mid meeting), had a narrow defeat by Swindon and drawn at Belle Vue.

Eastbourne are using rider replacement because of Dave Norris being injured but that is no bad thing as he has not been that prolific a scorer and reserve Ricky King will do a good job taking some of those rides. Bridger will have a point to prove after last night and expect big points from him.

To me it is a very narrow win either way and watch out for when other bookies price up but double figure starts on Eastbourne are the way to go.

Can't find any betting for it on SkyBet...
