Due to circumstances beyond our control, welcome to the new and improved Sports betting thread. 
What is the view on the Newcastle Birmingham game? I have backed this at 2.25 to 1 for the draw and 8 to 1 for a 0-0. |

| Not a bad start, would have preferred a 0-0 but 1-1 keeps me in profit. |

Draw in the 3rd test - NZ v England
The weather is dodgy.
There has only been 5 test matches at the venue - 4 have been draws.
Neither team will make risky declarations and risk losing the series.
Have a feeling Vaughan will convert his good form into a century at 5/1 too. |

I did wonder why a draw was a favorite for this game.
Cheers.

A series of results and situations which will lead to the draw being artificially short....may be worth laying the draw now rather than backing it.

I agree. Spurs were woeful on Sunday against a decidedly mediocre City team. They did not deserve to take the lead and looked tired and jaded from their European disaster. They won't have had much of a rest and I can see Chelski putting them to the sword now that they're back in the frame for the Prem title and, of course, to avenge their Carling Cup defeat. |

Its funny how value is such a grey area but IMO 6/5 Chelsea feels a tad high but not overly so to me. I wouldnt make Chelsea better than Evens.
I understand the reasons quoted but Chelsea were not exactly that great against Sunderland either and Ramos will fire Spurs up for a derby like this. Him and Poyet will not let Spurs' season end in March thats for sure.
The prices in premier matches are pretty tight usually unless the betting public drive the prices one way or the other. I fancy a draw although it could go either way IMO and MU to be 5pts clear of the blues tonight......best laid plans and all that

Hard one to call really, Spuds no longer give a crap about the league that is blatantly obvious, but at home against Chelsea they will IMO raise their game.
Chelsea weren't great saturday, but they they are just do enough team. Will bite their arse before the season is out sitting on 1-0 leads.

| Quite, 6/5 on Chelsea at White Hart Lane is NOT good odds. |

| Match could really go any way, why take the shortest price option??? I can't say I fancy Spurs to win it but out of a draw at 3.5 and an away win at not much better than evens I know which one I'd take... |

| Huge value on Ivo Karlovic to beat Andy Murray tonight at 12/5 with Bet365 and Totesport. Karlovic is the best server on tour at present, has developed a stylish volley over the last few years and is in good form after reaching the semis of Rotterdam last month (Murray lost to unknown Robin Haase in the first round of the same event). On his best form you would expect Murray to have too many weapons for the big Croat but, after struggling to beat low-ranked Jurgen Melzer on Sunday, I make the Scot a coin flip at best. |

Why?
Spurs's season is over
Chelsea are 3 points off the top of the league
Chelsea's record over Spurs for the past 10 seasons is savage (sorry don't have the exact figures, but Chelsea fans don't call it3 point lane for no reason)
