    Leeds vs Saint Helens
    Grand final
    Really hard to say how this one will go.
    Saints are the top dogs having settled down as top side in super league in recent seasons.
    Leeds have reached the final from an outside stall finishing fifth in the regular season.
    Fishing fast and could well spring a shock as underdogs.
    Almost certainly James Roby’s last big game for saints so
    Leeds have the momentum and might just cause an upset. But it is saints game to lose.

    8/1
    KICK OFF

    Half time
    12 – 6
    Saint Helens leading.
    A very early try for saints.
    Soon two up.
    Late fight back by Leeds with a crucial substitution and try converted.
    With three first half tries already scored and tiring defences likely in the final half…
    6+ TRIES IN THE MATCH 5/6
    Is the call.

    Qpr v Reading
    Draw.
    many of these Friday night championship matches end in 1-1 draws and these two sides look evenly matched and are going well.
    No score prediction a draw looks likely.

    Twenty minutes to go
    Arsenal vs Liverpool 2/2 the score.
    Saka 7/2 to have a shot on goal
    Has scored already.
    There’ll be three minutes of injury time at least and if he stays on the pitch every chance of another shot.

    A winning Rugby league bet from the grand final. Just missed out on the Friday football and the 7/2 from the arsenal match was a gift with the penalty awarded soon after.
    Rugby world cups going on left right and centre with the women’s union cup started down under and the league world cup about to get underway here. At last a decent game of football at spurs!!
    Doing it in style over here with wheelchair rugby for men and women, and men’s and women’s rugby all taking place.

    Nottingham forest vs Aston villa

    A keenly contested derby is gauranteed but Forest are in deep dodo and re-signing a new contract unlikely to confirm anything other than a different settlement between club and coach when they part company.
    Both teams should score here and the most likely line to take here is that villa can manage two goals.

    Villa+2 goals
    Best price.

    Villa vs forest

    This is going to be a keenly fought derby with plenty of shots on goal ( hopefully)
    My recommendation is on reflection
    Both teams two shots on target each half
    At 11/2
    Could not be too sure about goals.
    ——————————————–
    That didn’t go too well and things are not looking good for Steve Gerrard at villa.
    Toss up between him and Brendan Rodgers for next manager to be shown the door. I still think he ( SG) will be at Liverpool in some capacity before the season ends.

    England Australia 🦘
    Starts at 9.10 (approx)
    England to bat
    England to score a boundary in each of their first two overs
    @ 4/5
    I’m expecting England to score 180+ depending on how they do in the power play

    Rain stops play England going well on 49 runs for one wicket.
    Hopefully the interuption wont affect the rhythm too much.
    Umpires back out after the delay .

    Rain reduced match which is a disaster.
    Reduced by three overs.

    Wet outfield will slow the ball down for shots hit along the floor

    how does the reduced overs change your bet or is it needing the same total?

    As it stands Nathan I am ****ed.
    Unless this latest rain stoppage forces an abandonment. Then I think it would be a voided situation.
    I’ve checked the rules and there doesn’t seem to be any allowance for reduced/ revised totals. I feel a bit helpless and promise not to get involved in a dead rubber again!!
    I’m going to do a rain dance.
    I did hibernus oppositus to win without Harley street in the end. Nice double you did there. How did the horse(s) that fell get on?

    I’ve not heard anything about the fallers
    such a shame with Allez Seas to go all that time without racing then end up going down.
    one of the horses was galloping afterwards but I didn’t see which one, think it wasn’t Allez Seas as he looked to take the worst fall

    That’s harsh on your bet
    You should question it as the bet was made with 20 overs of play

    It would be a crippler mate.
    The match is reduced and if it is reduced any further then 170 runs would be impossible and I would expect a voided bet.
    I would not bet with the firm again if they did not refund as I put the bet on in good faith and was willing to lose the wager on my judgement of them getting that total.
    In fact I would spend the next year putting up best bets recommending people to bet them with that firm.
    So we will have to see….

    Can see you that plume of steam rising over the East of England?

    That’s my relief.

    Back in again with much reduced stakes and the only selection from this match with England racing away.
    Steve Smith to hit a six @ evens.
    Australia are three wickets all taken by woakes for 20.
    Reduced target need to face nine more balls to get a result for either side.
    * Match abandoned
    Another voided selection and despite my best efforts to do my dosh the turf accountants keep giving me it back!
