Horses Switching Stables – A Good Or Bad Thing?
As a punter one often looks for little clues pointing to a good bet.
One point that often attracts interest is when a horse is switched from one trainer to another.
Picture a young soccer player for example who had been with a lower league club
but who more recently […]
We picked up a great winner at 9/1 last weekend from Guy’s advice
see here.
As mentioned last week these Strong Stats are just a very small snippet from Guy’s much larger daily message. Somedays they indicate a posive for backers as per last week. Others days they indicate a horse Guy feels should be opposed for […]
Horses On Their First Run In A Handicap Race
Punters are often trying to spot a big sting or a planned gamble. A classic perception is that some horses are intentionally run badly in order to give them a very lenient first handicap mark.
The stats show however that betting every horse on it’s first handicap run […]
A last minute Valencia penalty denied Brit backers a Champions League double tonight. William Hill offer 11/8 that Manchester United are the furthest progressing British side and depite their draw, Chelsea are 9/4 second favourites.
“English punters will have been disappointed by the collective capitulation of both Manchester City and United, and Chelsea’s last minute concession will have done little to lighten the mood ,” said Hill’s spokesman Joe Crilly.
Hills are offering 5/1 that there is an all British final in this years Champions League.
All of the pre game talk before the Chelsea game in Valencia revolved around Frank Lampard and he will have done no damage to his (purported) diminishing career by bagging Chelseas only goal at the Estadio Mestalla. Hills go 3/1 about him starting Englands game against Montenegro next month.
Furthest progressing Brit side: 11/8 Man Utd; 9/4 Chelsea; 3/1 Man City; 6/1 Arsenal

GREEN’S BLUNDER ROBS PUNTERS OF £10MILLION+
BOOKMAKERS William Hill say Rob Green’s disastrous error was the costliest mistake ever for Britain’s punters: ‘The difference between Green making the save, and letting the ball in made a difference of over £10million to how much bookies had to pay out to punters who backed England to win the game – in eight World Cups I can never remember a costlier blunder for backers – and that includes the Maradona hand of God goal – which only stopped England drawing, rather than winning’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe. ‘Several punters had bet £10,000 on England to win and hundreds of thousands of supporters had more modest bets on the outcome of the game and the correct score.’
ROB GREEN IS EVEN MONEY FAVOURITE WITH WILLIAM HILL TO START THE GAME V ALGERIA, WITH DAVID JAMES AND JOE HART EACH OFFERED AT 9/4.
ENGLAND ARE 8/1 TO WIN THE WORLD CUP WITH WILLIAM HILL.
MARTIN JOHNSON, ENGLAND RUGBY UNION BOSS, IS 4/6 FAVOURITE TO LEAVE HIS JOB BEFORE FABIO CAPELLO DOES LIKEWISE – HILLS OFFER 11/10 VICED VERSA. ‘BOTH ENGLAND BOSSES ARE UNDER PRESSURE BUT JOHNSON CURRENTLY LOOKS MORE VULNERABLE’ SAID HILL’S SPOKESMAN GRAHAM SHARPE.
WILLIAM HILL OFFER 50/1 THAT THE VUVUZUELA WILL BE OFFICIALLY BANNED FROM STADIUMS BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD CUP.

BOOKMAKERS WILLIAM HILL are refunding stake money to all punters who backed Republic of Ireland to qualify for the final stages of the World Cup following the controversy over the Thierry Henry goal which knocked them out. Hills will also be paying out on bets for the French to go through.
‘Leaving aside any moral scruples and the fact that noone knows what would have happened if the goal had been disallowed, William Hill feel that they are being as fair as possible to everyone by returning stake money to those who bet on the Irish going through’ said Hill’s spokesman Graham Sharpe.’It will cost us a significant five figure sum’.
IRISH 100/1 TO GET WORLD CUP REPLAY

**William Hill were the first bookmakers ever to make a gesture of this nature when, in 1986, they ‘disallowed’ Maradona’s ‘Hand of God’ goal for Argentina against England and refunded stakes to punters.
REPUBLIC ARE 5/4 WITH WILLIAM HILL TO QUALIFY FOR EURO ’12; AND 2/1 TO QUALIFY FOR WORLD CUP 2014.
