Tonight's big match - a comfort bet. You can have 21pence

There are some good games in the Premier League this evening-

Chelsea v Wolves

Man Utd v Sheffield Utd

Burnley v Aston Villa

Everton v Leicester

but I will not be concentrating on them. Chelsea's new manager Thomas Tuchel seems a bit odd so it will be interesting to see how long he lasts. Man Utd's best player, Bruno Fernandes, does that sucking thumb thing when he scores a goal (can you imagine Bobby Charlton doing that?) so that's a swerve, Burnley and Villa's manager always moan about the ref and Leicester are annoyingly good. 

Instead it's the big match, a true 6 pointer relegation battle as Geoff Stelling would say, with Brighton playing Fulham. I like Graham Potter (Albion manager) and understand why the shrewdest man in shrewd land (that's Tony Bloom) is sticking by him. He has got Brighton playing brilliant football but they just cannot score. Meanwhile Fulham are also playing well, managed by Scott Parker (who woman who pretend to like football apparently find incredibly good looking).

Here are the decimal prices - Brighton/Draw/Fulham - at time of posting-

Pinnacle   2.08 3.47 3.92

Bet365     2.08 3.45 3.9

Marathon 2.08 3.4    4

As a recreational punter I therefore went to back Fulham (a comfort bet in truth) with Marathon. They will allow me to have 21pence on.

5 for tomorrow - Grooveur has given me too much confidence!

2.05 Uttoxeter - Oski  is an utter dodge pot but is surely an each way bet to nothing? Maybe put in the forecast with Beaufort West? 2.40 Uttoxeter - Barney Bateleur is going to win over fences and this is a hurdle race so small stake only but I think Stormy Flight is handicapped to win it. Again maybe dutch them and a small dual forecast. 3.10 Uttoxeter- Susy Smith has gone all the way to the (north) midlands to run Animal. I think this horse will win again one day. Currently 6/1. 5.10 Ffos Las- Saddlers Quest. Came 5th at 100/1 under a "quiet" ride at the same track on 4 February. Should be of interest in a handicap (which this is). Sorry some of them are in the same races.

Restricting - Sorry Sir we do not want your business

Last year - before 'lockdown' obviously - I was invited by Racing UK (Racing TV as it is now) to a kind of focus group. We probably did not meet the usual diversity criteria. Basically we were all white men aged in our 50's and 60's, which I suspect makes up a considerable portion of the Racing TV subscribers. We were asked to introduce ourselves and detail our interests in racing and betting. What then followed was each of us in turn describing how we watch and bet - followed by tales of how various bookmakers restrict us. To be honest there may have been a small bit of boasting going on - "I've been banned by more bookmakers than you" - but there is little doubt that our collective experience was that if a punter shows a degree of skill in his wagering then the bookies do not want your business. I thought it might be interesting to report my experience of being restricted. My local Ladbrokes betting shop were promoting their Grid card (similar to a super...

How to bet on freemasons with sticks

Ok golf is not exactly my favourite sport - better than motor racing and ice skating maybe but apart from the Open and the Masters I struggle to take much interest. Those clothes, the saloon bar image, the rather old fashioned attitudes to women, shorts and wearing jeans, and now players and clubs which enable the top players to hit the ball so far that the best courses are no longer a challenge. In my previous job there were always a significant number of keen golfers who took every opportunity to play the sport which us non-participants called 'freemasons with sticks' (as it happens with some justification. I do though occasionally have a bet on it though. It is one of the few sports where there are regular 100/1 winners and even Tiger Woods in his pomp would go off 3/1 plus. Obviously at those prices picking the winner is difficult but there are some factors which can help. Golf is very much a form game with players having hot (and cold) streaks). The trick is to spot the pl...
