General Sports Roundup Plus Yesterday's Easy Laying System Review
Well, dear reader, after an unfortunate start when Squiffy won at 7/1 on the first day of the trial, Easy Laying System has now poked its head in front here on Day Three.
Six losers from six yesterday gives a running total of 14 losers from 15 and a profit of £104 to date. The profit figure is based on adding 16% to the SP of any winners and multiplying that by £20. When the lays lose we add £19 to our balance (£20 less 5% commission).
On my personal laying front, I managed to have one wager and win, with May Day Queen floundering on the unsuitable ground at 6/4. I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect they may already have ruined her by putting her in a series of tough races in relatively quick succession.
Its tough today and, while I'm tempted to lay any or all of the following, I'll keep my money in my pocket. Discipline is what the game is about, and it's good to have non-playing days if you don't fancy anything.
Saying that, these are the ones that will tempt me as the day wears on:
Tibouchina at Brighton (won two pedestrian races, but there's no guarantee of pace here either, so may sneak another win)
Sangfroid at Hamilton (very interesting profile, last on all three 2yo starts over 6f, runs over a mile and a half today, and bred for the trip. May find all of the necessary improvement)
Walgon Valley at Thirsk (best form but badly drawn and could encounter traffic problems)
Gongidas at Thirsk (top weight but not apparently any better than a number of the other runners, so a short price on what has been achieved to date. May also dislike being in front: 2nd by a short head on debut, then won by a short head next time out)
I will be pleased if I manage to swerve laying these, because I don't really feel strongly about any of them.
Other news, and the football transfer situation is picking up, with big name signings at both Arsenal (De Silva) and Liverpool (Torres) likely by close of play.
I'm starting to get a view on the teams that will carry my support this season, and will share that with you in due course.
One thing I can tell you: I make Wigan a sterling bet to be relegated at a general 11/8, and I'm very tempted to back them to finish bottom at pushing 5/1 on betfair.
They were a poor side last season, have made (in my opinion) awful signings, and their manager is useless.
Apologies to Wigan fans, but I see a season of despair for you guys.
As well as the tennis, London also hosts the start of the Tour de France this weekend. Le Grand Depart (The Big Departure) as it's known has once again become Le Grand Debacle, as the UCI (cycling's governing body) have decided for the second year running that the best time to accuse the teams of being drug cheats is in the week before the race.
Alex Vonokourov, the favourite, has been linked with disgraced Italian doctor, Michele Ferrari (yes, he does make his charges go faster!).
Ferrari previously worked with Lance Armstrong and is the main reason that the French believe Armstrong was doping during his six year tenure in the 'maillot jaune'.
Personally, I think the French just hate the fact that they have had no chance of winning their race for over a decade. Allied to this is the fact that when their own Richard Virenque, pretty boy and great white hope of cyclisme francaise, was banned for doping, all he got from the French was Rich Tea and Sympathy.
Anyway, I used to believe that cycling was the fairest sport of all, because they were ALL cheating! I don't believe that to be the case any more, but a significant subset definitely still are doping.
I am a huge fan of Le Tour, and am gutted to be missing the start here in Smokey. But then of course, I will be in Las Vegas, so every cloud has a silver lining and all that ;)
I'll be bringing you my thoughts on the race over the next few days and I can reveal that I don't think Vino will win... So, with the favourite out of the equation, who will head the peloton into Paris?
Stay tuned for my view on the race.
Back later with today's Easy Laying System selections, but for now...
Toodlepip!
