I would not get 8/1 on that. I don't think England will beat Ireland today (or beat France) but if they win today they are a better team than I thought and will then have areal chance of beating France and will be quite short odds, so I thought now was the time to take the 8/1. If they are good enough to beat France in Paris they will def beat Ireland today, so the two go together.

Very good odds I agree but I am a Kauto fan and a Ruby Walsh fan. Tony McCoy sometimes does not do the business when on a top chance horse for some reason. Ruby is a cool head and I think he knows Kauto's perfect cruising speed. McCoy may have pushed Denman too hard so he was uncomfortable and slipped up?

They won't beat Ireland (hopefully) but if they do they are a real grand slam chance. If England don't win today I won't bother hedging for the final game as I just could not then see England improving sufficiently to win in Paris.


Both bets placed will win me over ?200 so I'm happy to have hedged a bit.


No grand slam is not attractive - its good odds cos everyone knows France will win it now :))

Looks good but too late am on way to game. Will look at it again after todays result but my thought is that if england lord today them they will not beat france but their odds may lengthen for the france game after if they lord today. Think declan has i point they could lose their last 3 games or win them all cos noone really knows how good or bad this england team is .

To football...I have ?100 on an England vs Egypt draw at 7/2 and a twenty on an Egyptian win at 7-1.


Egypt looked very strong in the Africa Cup (which they recently won) but have not qualified for the World Cup and keen to show they are still strong...England trying out a few things in prep for the WC, Terry affair, restless expectant crowd .


Basically I'm backing Egypt for a result with this one.....

Do you mean 7/1 or 7 decimal? You can't guarantee a decent or indeed any profit (I think)...you've got ?350 to cover


Arsenal have some easy games approaching...maybe leave it and then lay them if they get expected results. You could also bet Man U on individual games as they're your biggest problem...but you're going to be down if Chelsea win too! I'd just stay with what you've got to be honest.

I will hope to make sufficient profit from backing Rangers to win the next Old Firm game to pay for the champagne. As long as one of Walters brothers is referring again I should make a tidy profit and you should be able to get merrily drunk on my winnings. (wink)

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
