A Ten Pointer
Last weekend Sale travelled to Bayonne in Rugby's European Challenge Cup and came away with a win 51-12, a 39 points margin with the Frenchmen scoring two early tries. They take on Bayonne tonight in the return at Edgely Park and the handicap is 45.5 points. With McAlister back Sale look even stronger and are a great bet to cover this handicap at 1.92
10pts Sale -45.5 @ 1.92
Update: 6-5 to Sale at HT!! Still, layed Bayonne +45.5 @ 1.15 to lose 1.5pts more if Sale don't get it...

England Manager...
Sometimes you put a bet on after thinking about it, then think actually no... then the odds have moved... You can trade out for a loss or let it ride... this time I'll let it ride

Sri Lanka v England 2nd Test: Update
Into the final session of Day 3... While the match doesn't look brilliant, although Sri Lanka are still in with a shot, they'll have to put another couple of hundred on their current 329-3 (England were all out 351) then try and bowl England out...
The good news is, I didn't read my bet properly... the Vaughan v Jayawardene bet was 1st innings only, so it is already a winner...
Total: +3.77pts
December so far: -15.18pts

American Football
American Football is a sport I used to watch and bet on a fair bit, doing reasonably on it. But over the last couple of years I've watched and bet less on it, however I'm having a couple of bets tonight.
Firstly my team, Minnesota Vikings, started the season badly, losing 6 of the first 7 games but since then they've been on a roll and now stand 6-6 with a chance of making the playoffs. They travel to San Francisco as a team on fire, amazing on the offensive run and tight defence. They should cover the spread.
4pts Vikings -9.5 @ 2.14 - Won 4.33pts
San Diego are also finding form at the right time and look good to take a win at Tennessee, the odds of just under evens are more than enough.
5pts San Diego @ 1.9 - Won (traded) 3.5pts
I'm also on Pittsburgh to cover the spread at a stuttering New England
3.5pts Pittsburgh +10.5 @ 1.99 - Lost -3.5pts
Total: +4.33pts
December so far: -17.95pts

X Factor Update
So, the final three have been decided and it's Rhydian, Leon and Same Difference. I've layed my stake on SD off for a 23+pts win if they win, no loss if they don't...
An away day to beat the blues
Well, what a night, the Hitman loses his record and the bank is way down. With England and Vaughan starting so very well against Sri Lanka too it's going to be a long, hard month now to turn a profit, never mind hit target. There are a few big prices out there today and hopefully if a couple come in there will be a bank boost.
The Arsenal match should be a pass, with Cesc Fabregas, Alexander Hleb, Mathieu Flamini and Robin van Persie all out and after what happened to Liverpool yesterday they're not worth a real risk. However in their last two matches they've gone in winning at half time only to be really pushed in the second half, Villa couldn't pull it back, but Newcastle did, a very small bet to see it happen again, or even Middlesbrough to go one better, which although highly unlikely is never fully out of the question.
0.3pts HT/FT Arsenal/Draw @17
0.2pts HT/FT Arsenal/Middlesbrough @ 70
On to the other three Premiership games which all see the home sides at odds on, and all of them are worth taking on in my opinion. Bolton were thumped last time out at Liverpool and are coming off the back of a European away day, while Wigan started with a home draw against City under Steve Bruce and after a week to work with his team the former Birmingham boss will be looking to go one better. Add to this Wigan's recent form at the Reebok and they're in the pot.
City travel to Spurs in the other 3pm kick off, and again Spurs are coming off the back of a European away day and face a City side who need to translate their home form into away form if they want to ensure they finish in the European spots. The last 3 times this match has been played it has finished 2-1 to Spurs, but both teams are different now, City are stronger than they have been in decades and Spurs just don't know how to defend. Goals look on the menu and it's a case of who can score more. At the odds you have to side with City, but I'm also going for goals.
Blackburn host West Ham in the final Premiership match of the day, West Ham's record of 5 wins in the last 6 against Rovers speaks for itself. West Ham will be at pretty much full strength (Bellamy is still missing as are a few long term injuries) while Rovers miss Nelsen at the back and more importantly the suspended Bentley. With Pedersen not firing on all cylinders Bentley has been more important than ever this season and he'll be a big miss. If West Ham come out and take the game to Blackburn they may well come home with the three points.
