THAING MYSELF IN KNOTS.
THE INTRO THING
They are many things I do well, make a mean Thai Curry, retain useless bits of sports trivia, avoid work, but sadly sports betting doesn't seem to be one of them. Generally the last few weeks have seen me waste more money than a local council, fear not though this has given me a new blog that I'll be running from friday and I'll be telling you all about tommorrow. Soon as I've done the whole registering it thing and got my head round it. It's the future of betting I tell you.
Anyway on with the betting stuff.
LAST NIGHTS REVIEW
LEAGUE TWO: Bristol Rovers 2 Stockport 1, Barnet 0 Shrewsbury 0. Six possible results, four eventualities covered, one correct.
We could lament that Stockport were unlucky but then Shrewsbury were quite lucky as well. The reaction from the bookies has seen Stockport at 2.75 and Shrewsbury at 6.5 for automatic promotion.
NON LEAGUE: Weymouth managed to blow a two goal lead to lose 3-2, Dagenham meanwhile are now twelve points clear at the top and are as low as 1.01 with coral to take the league title, round about the same odds you would get for the sun coming up in the morning, which I hope happens, the sun one that is.
SCOTLAND: Berwick strengthened their grip at the top of the table while Stenhousemuir completed a miserable night for us.
CRICKET WORLD CUP: Graham Smith hit 91 to top the leading batsman market and is down to 7.0 with William Hill though he is still 8.6 with extrabet. Ricky Ponting remains the favourite at 5.0.
The outright winner market sees Australia favourites at 2.88
The rest
South Africa 5
Sri Lanka 8
West Indies 8
New Zealand 8.5
India 13 13
England 17
Bangladesh 201
We'll give a more in-depth thoughts of how the world cup is panning out later on this week.

DAILY TIPS
CHESTERFIELD V DONCASTER: You would think game wasn't taking place this evening bearing in mind the way the media have been ignoring it, unlike them though we aren't afraid to talk about the difficult games. Power to the people and all that stuff. This is a hard one to call between two sides at different ends of the table both badly out of form. What is noticeable is the lack of goals both sides have scored, each of them have got just two goals in their last six games. That's a poorer success rate than a spotty teenager at the school disco, not that i would know. The way to play this is either on the under 2.5 goals, 1.7 with Mansion or to oppose the total goal minutes with Sporting Index on 37-40 spread.
HALIFAX V OXFORD: I'm going to against the crowd here and tell you not to get on the Oxford win, undoubtedly Halifax are in a mess but Oxford still have not convinced me they have refound their form. This is to me one to avoid more than Keanu Reeves offer that he will drive.
CRICKET WORLD CUP: With all that has occured it is understandable there is little betting interest in Pakistan v Zimbabwe, it remains to be seen how they react. Will their minds be on the job or will they be elsewhere, will they win big for Bob Woolmer. It's a betting minefield and one to stay clear, instead if you must bet on today's cricket, look at the handicap market on the Bangladesh v SriLanka game, our outright tips SriLanka should win this one but Bagnladesh could run them close.
GOLF: It's Wednesday that means it's golftime, and this week we can have more golf than you can shake a stick at, although I can't condone that sort of shick staking behaviour. Anyway can you imagine a world without Tiger Woods, I'm sure Monty and the others do everyday, Tiger's got a history in this week's tournament and that's why we'd recommend the market without Woods. In form Els and Singh are both massive in the market without Tiger, Vijay is 11.0 and Ernie 13.0. Ernie has the course history, Singh the form,well worth getting on.
TENNIS:Some people think there is some sort of Federer crises going on, but there is not, fear not the man is still on form he is just adjusting and experimenting with his game in the scay thought that he could get better soon. In the meanwhile tournaments have be come ripe picking for other players as Nadal found last week. However court surface suited Nadal last time out and he looks too short this time as does an injured and tired Murray. The value could be had in small each way stakes on outsiders , Djokovic at 41.0, Yozhuny at 81.0 and Ferrer 101.0, look good value each way bets.
Well that's it for today, be back tommorrow with some more Football, Darts, Snooker, Dominoes and US Sports, in the meanwhile I'm out of here quicker than a Scooch backing singer.
