Can The Final FA Cup Fifth Round Tie Also Go To Form?

The romance of the FA Cup has taken a blow after all seven ties played so far in the fifth round were won by the team higher in the hierarchy after 90 minutes. There are no replays from now on but extra time and penalties was not required in any of the ties. Ultimately Manchester City’s quality told against Newport and they are through to the quarter-finals. This week the club play Schalke in the Champions League and Chelsea in the final of the EFL Cup. MANCHESTER CITY are 10/1 with Betfair to win four trophies which no English team has ever done in one season.

If the final tie of the fifth round is won by the higher ranked team Manchester United will beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tonight. All in the garden was rosy for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer before PSG were too good for United in the Champions League. If United lose tonight his credentials for being the permanent manager will be questioned. However, Chelsea are in disarray and a defeat at home would be damaging for the manager, Maurizio Sarri. The PSG reverse could be a blip and MANCHESTER UNITED are tipped to beat Chelsea at 11/4 with Paddy Power.

It’s the third round of matches in the Six Nations at the weekend and a potential decider when Wales play England in Cardiff on Saturday. The old rivals are the only teams to have won their first two matches but England are top of the table as they have picked up two bonus points. They have the superior point’s difference by 32 so 16 points per match. Home advantage is worth six points so on current form England should be 10 points favourites. You can back ENGLAND -4 at 10/11 with Coral.

In cricket England embark on a five match One Day International series against West Indies and there are two fixtures in Bridgetown this week. The home team won the three Test series 2-1 but that result went against the latest form. England are first in the official ODI world rankings and West Indies are in 9th place. The home team defied the odds in the Tests but over five 50 over’s matches ENGLAND can beat their hosts 4-1 or 3-2 at combined odds of about 4/7 with Paddy Power.

The Cheltenham Festival begins three weeks tomorrow and there are some final potential prep races at Kempton on Saturday. The Dovecote Novice’s Hurdle often produces a decent winner who gets into the picture for similar races at the Festival. Wissahickon looks a good thing in the Winter Derby at Lingfield on the same day. There are many Nationals these days and ROYAL TARA is the tip to win the Surrey version at Lingfield today (3.50pm) and that outcome is 5/1 with Coral.

England Favourites To Be Champions League Winning Nation

The first knockout ties in the Champions League take place this week and two English clubs are involved in fixtures. The last 16 is spread over four match days and Liverpool and Manchester City play next week. Manchester United play PSG at home and Tottenham welcome Borussia Dortmund to Wembley this Tuesday and Wednesday and both teams will be hoping to establish a first leg lead. ENGLAND are 13/8 with Betfair and favourites to be the winning nationality. 

Wolves are emerging as the best of the rest and can consolidate seventh place in the Premier League with a win over Newcastle at home tonight. The hosts are on a decent run and playing with confidence. A win would take them four points clear of Watford in eighth position and in good shape to qualify for the Europa League pending the outcome of other competitions. Even though Newcastle have not lost the previous four corresponding fixtures WOLVES are tipped to win this one at 7/10 with bet365.  

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) will make an announcement this evening about the resumption of racing. Four new cases of equine flu were identified last night but at one stable in Newmarket which could be isolated. Odds on the action resuming increased with the news and it’s now 10/11 with Paddy Power that racing will take place in the UK before this Saturday. The Grand National should not be under threat and last year’s winner TIGER ROLL is 25/1 with Betfair to win the race again. 

England are trying to avoid a 3-0 drubbing in the Third Test against West Indies. They put together their first 100 partnership of the series in the first innings and now lead by 142 runs. However, England have managed batting collapses in the previous four matches and in a relatively low scoring game things could change. With the match well in advance after two days and the weather not an issue there should be a definite result. WEST INDIES are 14/1 with bet365 to win this match.

England Will Struggle To Reverse The Form 

With no major football matches today we can focus on the Second Test between West Indies and England in Antigua. The key to working out who will win the match is measuring the most recent fixture between the sides against form going into that match. West Indies beat England by 381 runs in the First Test having lost their previous four international fixtures over five days. Conversely England were five from five before the Barbados debacle so does one swallow make a summer? In this case it does and England cannot reverse the form to beat WEST INDIES who are 11/5 with bet365 

England cannot be as bad in this match as they were last time out. Even in such abject defeat Ben Stokes bowled well and took four wickets in the first innings. He also dismissed two of the top three in the West Indies batting order second time around. Stokes has taken 123 wickets in 50 Tests while Jimmy Anderson has claimed 570 batters in his 146 Test match appearances. Statistically you back Anderson every time to take most wickets but conditions will suit BEN STOKES in Antigua so he is the bet at 9/2 with Ladbrokes to be England’s top wicket taker in the match. 

It’s the first round of the Phoenix Open on the PGA Tour in Arizona. The event is known for the huge crowds that turn up for the desert occasion and drink beer. It is estimated that about half a million fans attend and many of those take refreshments around the short 16th hole. Jon Rahm has been tipped to win a tournament in which four rounds in the mid sixties will be needed to compete. He went to University in the state so is almost a local. We can expect a fast start and JON RAHM is 11/10 with bet365 to outscore Bubba Watson and Xander Schauffele over 18 holes today. 

All Weather racing is coming into its own this week and is fit for purpose of providing action when turf meetings are abandoned because of the freeze. Today’s racing at Southwell and Newcastle is not very good but at least it’s happening. The handicap over one mile at Southwell (3.40) is an opportunity for DASHING POET who has won over the course and distance and is 9/2 with Ladbrokes to prevail.

It Could Be Liverpool Again At Last For Their Fans

In a busy week for international sport the Premier League reconvenes with a full programme of fixtures this week and over the weekend. It’s now dawning on Everton and Manchester United fans that Liverpool could be the champions of England for the first time since 1990. It’s too soon to write off Manchester City but this is a two-horse race. The defending champions have marginally more difficult fixtures overt the next seven days and Liverpool’s four point lead is unlikely to be reduced. LIVERPOOL cannot be opposed at 8/11 with Betfair.

England suffered the nightmare scenario of a defeat to the West Indies in the First Test by 381 runs. That came after a declaration by the match winners in their second innings so it could have been an even bigger drubbing. The consensus amongst the pundits is that England selected the wrong team and played rubbish cricket which was obvious. It’s difficult to see how they can reverse the form for the second match which begins on Thursday. WEST INDIES are 5/2 with Ladbrokes to go two-nil up in the three Test series.

Justin Rose returns to the European Tour to play in the Saudi International this week. The world number one recorded a hugely impressive win in the Farmers Insurance Open on Sunday. The 2013 US Open winner has a team in place that supports his ambition to win more majors. He has a good record at Augusta so JUSTIN ROSE is the ante post tip to win the 2019 US Masters at 11/1 with Betfair.

This weekend sees the start of the Six Nations in rugby union. The three home teams are handicap favourites including Ireland against England. The handicap has been set at 9 points which seems somewhat excessive. Ireland have won the last two meetings by a total of 13 points and England won the previous two fixtures. Recent results suggest ENGLAND +9 is the bet at 10/11 with Ladbrokes.

The highlight of the racing week is the Dublin Racing Festival on Saturday and Saturday. The timing is deal for Cheltenham Festival bound horses and there will be some key trials. Running plans for the weekend have not been confirmed so the graded races and handicaps could have a different shape to the state of affairs today. At this early stage the banker is FOOTPAD at 11/8 with Betfair in the Dublin Steeplechase.

Burton Can Keep The Score Down Against City 

Burton Albion are playing in League One so the club’s achievement in reaching the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup should be applauded. However, the team playing in the third tier of English football had a reality check when Manchester City beat them 9-0 in the first leg of their last four tie at the Etihad Stadium. 

There is an expression that stranger things have happened at sea but there is more chance of Elvis being seen playing golf on the moon than Burton qualifying for the final. Despite only preventing a double figure drubbing by one goal in the first match Burton maintained a good attitude as City just kept on scoring. 

If that approach is replicated in the second match at home tonight Burton can keep the score down. They kept their defensive shape and maintained energy levels as City scored goals for fun. You can bet on BURTON +3 at 4/5 with Ladbrokes which is a winning bet if the margin of defeat is two goals or less, Burton win or the match ends in a draw. City are a million to one on to qualify for the final.  

England embark on a three Test series in the West indies today at Bridgetown where the home team have won just three of their last 10 five day matches. Scoring averages are remarkably close for both the hosts and visitors on the ground over that spell. The statistics suggest a closer encounter than the betting would suggest but England can confirm their world ranking status with a win. In fact West Indies have lost their last four test matches and England have won their last five so there is no doubting the side in better form. For a bet on history you can’t ignore JIMMY ANDERSON as the top England bowler at 5/2 with bet365.   

When Hereford racecourse closed in December 2012 there was a great deal of doom and gloom about the demise of the small track. However, the course reopened for jumps racing in October 2016 and a new reservoir will aid watering and provide better ground.  The highlight of today’s meeting is the Class 3 limited handicap chase at 2.50. On form and ratings CESAR COLLONGES is the tip at 2/1 with Ladbrokes.

Spin To Win – Test Cricket In Asia – By Dave Owens

October 13, 2018 By admin Leave a Comment

The past week has seen two test match’s taken place in Asia and some excellent value in the Top Bowler markets. In a case of the bookmakers looking at the recent results of the bowlers on view as opposed the pitch and conditions that they will be faced with. The West Indies have come off the back of four test matches at home to Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, the series saw the long-awaited emergence of Shannon Gabriel as a bowler of real quality at the highest level. Bowling on wickets with plenty of pace and movement for the quicker bowlers, Gabriel recorded superb figures taking a brilliant 24 wickets from the four test matches played – including an amazing performance of the 13 wickets in the first test match against Sri Lanka. 

In the same two series against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, the West Indies leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo did not take a single wicket and in one of the match’s bowled just two overs in the entire test of one match. The result of which saw the bookmakers price up Gabriel as a strong favourite at odds of 3.50 with Bishoo an outsider at 5.00 in small field for the top wicket taker for the West Indies. These prices were based on the recent history where Gabriel was rampant with 24 wickets to the West Indies spinners 0. What they failed to consider were the conditions for those match’s and the conditions for the first test against India in Rajkot. 

In the recent series Garbriel had perfect conditions to exploit with plenty of assistance for quick bowling and two fragile batting line ups from Asia totally unused and ill-equipped to deal with such bowling on such surfaces. Where Bishoo was hardly needed to bowl such was the dominance of the quicker bowlers and when he did get to the bowling crease was offered no help on wickets tailored made for WIs faster men. 

The first test against India in India was a certainty to be a complete flip of the conditions in the West Indies and the roles of the two bowlers likely to be completely reversed in terms of which one the pitch would favour but also which one of the two was likely to the vast majority of the bowling with Bishoo the only spinner in the side on a turning wicket and bowling a colossal 54 overs in the first innings which was an entire 33 overs more than Gabriel and won the market 4 wickets to Gabriels single victim. 

A similar occurrence took place in the same test with Ravi Ashwin being offered at a very generous 4.00 despite having an incredible record pre-match of 225 wickets in India at under 22 runs per victim. This was again a case of India’s pace men bowling excellently in the preceding series in England in helpful conditions and drifting Ashwin nicely in price despite the pitch conditions in India being as far removed from England as you can get. He responded by taking the market with taking 4 wickets from just 11 overs to win another top bowler market on home soil proving that the pitch and conditions are just as important if not more that recent form or records when making a selection especially in the extreme conditions of Asia.

Value in The Eye of The Beholder – By Dave Owens

June 23, 2018 By admin Leave a Comment

The 2nd test saw two stand out performances with the ball from what on paper and statistics looked unlikely sources in Shannon Gabriel and Lahiru Kumara for West Indies and Sri Lanka. Both managed to take the first innings market with a 5 and 4 wicket hauls respectively. Gabriel has always looked a bowler who potentially has all the attributes to unsettle any batsman in the world He is tall, bowls at very good pace and with hostility when he gets it right. It has never quite clicked for him for one reason or another and 6 years after his test debut takes his wicket at higher than 30 runs per wicket and always been in and out of the side.

Kumara at 21 years of age has a much smaller sample size but the raw numbers of 11 tests played for Sri Lanka and an average of over 40 runs per wicket would not really get anyone very excited on his record alone and not make him a very attractive proposition in the top bowler market.

Aside from reasonably modest returns from their international careers they also share a rare ability to bowl at pace that is increasingly rare in the game due to various reasons ranging from the amount of cricket played to unhelpful pitches for out and out pace bowlers. The first test match of the series saw both bowl with pace and hostility and trouble two batting line ups who are lacking world class players at the highest level. Gabriel really began to show the quality that many viewers always suspected he was capable of and bowled excellently and despite not getting his rewards looked a bowler who could trouble Sri Lanka with his pace and bounce. Sri Lanka were soundly beaten in the first test and most of the focus was on the poor batting that cost them the game and overlooked the exciting prospect that Kumara looked, bowling with a cutting edge and threat that none of the other Sri Lankans showed despite his poor numbers from the start of his test career.

The 2nd test match was played at St Lucia a ground which has been well known for offering pace and bounce and assistance to the quicker bowlers. It was this wicket, coupled with two genuine fast bowlers who looked in fine form and bowling with good pace and hostility on an unhelpful wicket that allowed a spot of value over the bookmakers. The pricing up of the markets saw the Sri Lankan bowling market have left arm spinner Herath as firm favourite due to having over 400 wickets to his name and Kumara rated an outsider with his indifferent start to his test career. The West Indian market saw Gabriel rated behind his more experienced colleagues in Roach and Bishoo.

It was priced up on long term statistics of performances from the bowlers involved in the game and offered an opportunity to viewers of the first test and the performances of Gabriel and Kumara and the knowledge that the 2nd test match would be tailored to their style of bowling against vulnerable batting lines ups that allowed both players to be backed at inflated odds for this specific match on this specific pitch at this specific time.

The match itself saw Sri Lanka not even select market favourite Herath with conditions not in his favour and allowing their young Sri Lankan quick Kumara every opportunity to continue his progress from the first match and see him duly oblige with 4 of the first innings wickets to be their leading wicket taker. Gabriel went one better for the West Indies with their captain Jason Holder keen to utilise an in form and dangerous Gabriel with the new ball and use him more regularly than he usually would on a pitch suited for his fast bowler who managed to take 5 of the first innings wickets for the honours.

This particular game was a good example that raw numbers for players do not always tell the full or sometimes most accurate picture of how a market may go with the evidence of the eye sometimes adding equally and sometimes more than just the figures on a bowler average and also unique playing conditions can favour certain players more than other regardless of their long-term results.

Irelands Exciting Test Debut – A Good News Story for Crickets Minnows – By Dave Owens

May 19, 2018 By admin Leave a Comment

Irelands historic first test match against Pakistan failed to see them pull off the fairy tale victory in the end but proved a fine Test match for their first ever 5-day game. The game saw some excellent periods of play for the hosts. The first ever Test match century in an Ireland shirt, a sterling come back and Pakistan momentarily on the ropes on day 5 chasing down Irelands 160. All in all, a very good advert for Test cricket in the Emerald Isle.

The sight of the emotion for the first ever Irish players to receive their Test match caps on the eve of the game and the excellent atmosphere of all present to watch the start of Irelands test journey was a much-needed boost for cricket’s minnow nations. It comes on the back of a bitter sweet 2018 world cup qualifying competition for two spots in next years world cup in England.

The tournament was held in Zimbabwe and quite often matches allowed a free entry creating full houses and amazing atmospheres for the games to be played, which added massively to drama of the games. The inclusion of full test nations of the West Indies and Afghanistan added a real barometer of where the associate nations were in terms of quality and showed that the next tier down from the Test playing sides were in very good health and playing very competitive cricket and of a potentially exciting future where at least a couple of countries could make real strides to competing against the established teams.

With all the positives taken from this tournament is was therefore an utter disaster from a development point of view that only two spots were available for admission to the world cup, taken by both Test playing sides West Indies and Afghanistan and the first time a world cup will be taking place without an associate member side in it, at a time when the developing cricketing nations has never been stronger. It was an opinion shared by all captains at the qualifying tournament as well as the cricket media in general who watched the tournament and were left shaking their heads at the loss of such an opportunity missed to blood these teams and players at next years competition.

Irelands successful and hard fought first test against Pakistan was a welcome reminder of the need to build, encourage and develop the non-test playing nations and to expand and develop the game as far and wide as possible.

Man of The Match – The Art of Deduction – By Dave Owens

January 27, 2018 By admin Leave a Comment

The man of the match market can be a very lucrative market in cricket betting, with quite often games offering over double figure odds on practically every player and a very good pay out on whoever is selected as the man of the match.

Man of the match would fall into category of – not massive interest to punters and bookmakers alike with the match winner of a game by far and away the most scrutinised and bet on and where the focus of attention usually lies.

Very often the odds on the players in the field are based on a history of form and averages with runs and wickets over a period which is a reasonable indicator and never usually a million miles away on a general basis of who should be what price.

Cricket is a sport like no other where the pitch, weather and playing conditions can override the specific data amassed over time, with it not being relevant to a game in alien conditions to the previous 10 – 15 matches’, where a player’s runs and wickets have been measured/priced up.

One of the key elements to being successful in the Man of the match market is patience and match selection. The very nature of the market, where to select the one player from 22 runners who is going to be selected for the award and is going to involve plenty of fixtures where picking the correct player is like finding a needle and in a haystack and basically just guess work.

When selecting match’s, I prefer the 5-day test match, although there is also value and opportunity in the 50 and 20 over format – although with a fair bit more variance and volatility due to the shortness and unpredictability of the games. As touched on earlier the slight lack of interest in the market probably derives from the perceived difficulty of selecting one winner from 22 as opposed to a 2/3 horse race with the home/away or draw as available bets. Its then a case of deduction to narrow the field down from 22 to the one player who you think will be awarded the man of the match.

For match selection for a game to pick a man of the match, it’s often helpful to take a wicket or/and conditions that are going to be quite extreme – weather it be early season in England where the pitch’s and overhead conditions offer plenty of help to swing and seam bowlers, a subcontinent pitch that has and will massively favour spin bowling from nearly bowl 1 of the test or a fast, bouncy wicket in Australia that is going to be conducive to out and out fast bowling. The reasoning for this is that it can help narrow down what type of player or bowler will be effective in the conditions that are to be played on and sometimes equally important who the captain will look to bowl the most overs and offer the most opportunity to.

Once a match that is being played in specifically helpful conditions has been established, it’s then the important decision of which team is going to win the match? This selection can instantly rule out half of the 22 players to 11 or blow your bet with the man of the match invariably coming from the winning team and as such the MOTM coming from the victors.

An example of this came in a test match between England and West Indies in England last year at Lords. The pretext to this match was in the tests prior, playing conditions were difficult to predict. The first Test was the very first day/night test played at Edgbaston and was an unknown quantity, but proved to be a match that helped both batsman and bowlers in varying degrees with the wicket being good to bat on in the daylight hours and help under lights for swing and seam bowlers. This would classify as a game with too many runners in the field and too difficult to narrow down where the winner would come from, as it was, Cook’s double hundred game him the honours.

The second test at Headingly was again difficult to decipher a ground with a history of helping the bowlers with cloud cover, but a fast scoring, easy paced pitch when the sun was out. This proved the case with the pitch and match lasting the entire 5 days, runs and wickets available and the MOTM taken By Shai Hopes excellent 100s in each innings in a game the West Indies just shaded. Again, another match where there was not enough evidence or help to take the market on.

With the scored tied at 1-1 the decider was played at Lords. The timing of this match was the first ever test match played in September. Due to the wickets likely to contain moisture and help for the bowlers with an 11am start and far past the peak of summer to help dry the wicket out. The weather prediction was cloud and rain for a lot of the 5 days ahead and the feeling was that the wicket was going to be helpful for seam and swing bowling from the start and throughout the game. This felt like a game loaded in a specific type of bowler’s favour.

The next decision was to pick a winning team and reduce 11 candidates. The score was locked at 1-1 in the series, but England were really the obvious choice and the MOTM selection to come from their ranks. Which left the task of selecting and removing candidates from the 11 players.

The components of the England side consisted of 5 specialist batsmen in Cook, Stoneman, Westley, Root and Malan. Of these, three players were new to the side and very much untried and untested at the highest level and were easy omissions. Leaving Root and Cook further consideration. Keeper/Batsman Bairstow a fine cricketer and one of the very first names on the sheet for his consistency but certainly not one of the main candidates as a No7 batsman and obvious non-bowler, making another omission.

The specialist bowlers in the side were Broad, Anderson and Roland-Jones. Like the three new and unproven batters, Roland-Jones was an easy rule out in terms of who was most likely to be player of the match. This now left two batsman in Root and Cook, all-rounders Moeen Ali and Stokes and two specialist bowlers in Broad and Anderson.

From the players left, Cook was a rule out since he would be opening the batting and in tough batting conditions the toughest place to be batting was likely to be at the top of the order against a brand-new ball with the pitch at its liveliest and the bowlers their freshest. With regards to the all-rounders Moeen Ali had been having a golden summer and in the four tests against South Africa had scored more runs and taken more wickets in every test except for the third test where Stokes managed more runs although could not match Ali’s wickets for the game. The conditions however dictated that Moeen as a spin bowler was unlikely to get much opportunity and as such was a rule out on not being able to influence match’s as he had done all summer.

England’s two best pace bowlers Anderson and Broad were reasonably easy to separate on current from with Anderson being by far the most successful throughout the summer and therefore more likely to do damage with the bowl.

With 22 down to 3 – Root was the next to be omitted, in such bowler friendly conditions the chances of one of the remaining candidates to provide a match winning contribution was just more probable than a specialist batsman. This left a straight shoot out between Anderson and Stokes. A tough choice with Anderson having the ability and history to totally run through a side in favourable conditions and then become hard to look past for MOTM or Stokes, who with his seam bowling and dynamic batting (in what would be a low scoring game) had the potential to influence all four innings of the test match compared to Anderson’s two (when England were to bowl).

Fortunately, I went with Stokes and it proved to a close-run thing with Stokes taking a brilliant 6-22 with the bowl in the first innings followed by top scoring with a 60 in England’s first innings which just edged Anderson’s 9 wickets in the game including a 7-wicket haul in the West Indies second innings.

Obviously not all Man of the match selections go quite as smoothly as this one panned out, but hopefully a good example of the potential and opportunity that this market can present when the right conditions and criteria present themselves.

Newcastle Can Beat Brighton Today – By Rick Elliott

September 24, 2017 By admin Leave a Comment

It’s a long way from Newcastle to Brighton but some clever dick has scheduled a trip for the Goerdies to the south coast for a 4pm kick off today. However, the trek down the country should be worth the bother because Newcastle can return to the north east with three points in the bag:

Newcastle to beat Brighton at 9/5 with Skybet!

Sunday racing was designed to provide decent meetings on the second leisure day of the weekend. In Ireland and France the racing often features a major group contest at a showcase meeting. In Britain there is average fare over the jumps at Plumpton and Uttoxeter.

The racing at the latter track is competitive with big runner fields throughout the day. There is an expression that states the bigger the field the bigger the certainty but there is no standout bet in the well subscribed contests. There are 13 runners in the 2.10pm race in which Whoshotwho has the best form and can prevail.

Sunday Banker Bet:

Whoshotwho at 3/1 with bet365!

England play West Indies in the 3rd ODI in Bristol and the weather forecast suggest there should be plenty of play. Some disruption is anticipated towards the end of the afternoon but there should be a decent amount of overs bowled. England were much too good for their opponents in the first match and the second was virtually washed out by the rain. The shorter the format the better the prospects for West Indies and they can square the series by beating England today:

10/3 with Betfair Sportsbook!
