ESSEX v KENT |
KENT |
Take the 9/4 on Kent to have the highest opening partnership in the current FP trophy final. With 15 runs on the board before the 1st wicket fell we fancy Kent to take an early wicket. With the ball doing tricks on a tough pitch getting beyond the 15 runs will be no easy feat for Essex. Recommeneded bet £100 ( 2 points ) Kent highest opening partnership 9/4 Hills |

Herring is new to the world of UFC and is being massively over estimated for this fight. We have some very good inside information that the prices are all wrong here. Take the 2/1 before it goes.

Take Paddy Powers 13/8 on a hole in one being scored during this weeks PGA championship. This little snippet has encouraged us to make this play: "There are a few holes where players can be aggressive, most notably the short par-3 13th. The front of the green is a bowl and, for certain, the flag will be there at least one day. Players will take dead aim at it and we may see a hole-in-one or two. For the 2004 Ryder Cup, fans camped out for hours on that hole in hopes of seeing an ace and the fan popularity may spur the bowl to be used during the weekend."

1/4 final day of the domestic 20/20 cup. Durham take on Yorkshire at 17.10 followed by Essex v Northants at 19.40. With the heavy rain that has fallen overnight and more expected thoughout the day shortened matches look highly likely. Two 5-10 over crapshoots. We have found just the market to exploit these likely to be reduced matches - highest individual score with Blue Square. A score of 50 or more will be virtually impossible in a 5 over slog.

We can't overlook the 11/2 on offer for Daniel Vettori to be the Top New Zealand Wicket taker for the series. Although recovering from injury he has been declared fit for the 1st test starting Thursday. He is without a doubt one on the best Bowlers in the world when he is on his game and is capable of taking teams apart. Several of the English batsman look weak when facing spin and we believe the 11/2 on offer with Stan James to be outstanding value.

New Zealand are currently 96/6 and with the Damp conditions we fancy England to polish them off quickly when they do get out, probably later this afternoon. The dangers are the two men currenty at the crease, Hopkins (11) and Vettori (3). If one on these two go fairly soon, even if the other bats through, it may well not be enough.

Trent bridge is usually a result pitch and with the long range weather looking fair, the draw looks an unlikely runner. New Zealand have proved a decent match for England so far in the series and were in control for much of the last test. So expect a few twists and turns in the final test and a small investment on New Zealand could set up a decent win.

We found these extracts from the players interviews: PHIL MICKELSON: I played today, and it's in fabulous shape. I don't think I've ever seen Bermuda greens, and I don't know what specific Bermuda that is, but it is the best greens I've seen Bermuda ever. It is in incredible shape. They're very firm and fast, balls are not stopping at all, and I think we're going to have a very difficult test on 17 getting balls to stay on that green, which is fine. Q. What makes this golf course so hard?
BOO WEEKLEY: Well, 17 is one of them (laughter). I mean, I was just talking to Heath Slocum a while ago down there as he was walking back from lunch, and I said, "Did you see 18?"
He said, "Yeah."
I said, "How did you play 17?"

NICK WATNEY |
We like the 80/1 on offer for NICK WATNEY to take this weeks PGA event, the Wachovia Championship. He has solid course form finishing inside the top 25 the last three years at Quail Hollow. He has been knocking on the door this season and is a proven winner. Recommended bet £25 each way, 1/4 1st 5 places ( 1/2 point ) Nick Watney 80/1 General. |

JOE PERRY |
We have a strong opinion on Joe Perry to beat Ali carter in todays semi final best of 33 encounter. Perry has looked the stronger of the two players and should relish the long slog. They have met 3 times in the past, Perry winning all 3. Perry's consistancy and grit should see him through and we just have to have a decent bet at odds against. Recommended bet -£300 ( 6 points ) Joe Perry to beat Ali Carter 6/5 Boylesports. |

O'SULLIVAN v WENBO |
We like the 11/10 on offer with Stan James on a break over 129 in the O'Sullivan - Wenbo match this afternoon. O'Sullivan has hit top gear knocking in a 140 and a 147 against Williams. With Wenbo's reckless attitude there should be big breaks galore in this match. Recommended bet - £300 ( 6 points) high match break over 129 O'Sullivan v Wenbo 11/10 - Stan James. |

EBDON v CARTER |
Jump on to Paddy Powers under 2.5 centuries in the Ebdon/Carter clash. Neither player are prolific breakmakers and they will have to go some to make 3 centuries for this bet to lose. Paddies actually price this the same as the Hendry/Day clash which is puzzling as they are both very heavy scorers. A confident pick for us. Recommended bet £300 ( 6 points ) under 2.5 centuries Ebdon/Day Paddy Power 5/6 |

MARK WILLIAMS |
Although backing Ronnie O'Sullivan to win the tournament we have to take him on in his second round clash against Mark Williams. The 5/2 on Williams seems to good to miss. Williams was back to his best in his first round encounter. Although he wasn't really tested to the full he showed enough form to warrant a back against O'sullivan. Ronnie didn't look at his best against qualifier Chuang and the 10-5 score was flattering. He missed alot of balls and will be heavily punished if making the same mistakes against Williams. His temperment is looking frail and he seems to be carrying the 'dont care less attitude' Recommended bet - £200 ( 4 points ) Mark Williams to beat Ronnie O'Sullivan 5/2 - Boylesports, Blue Square, Bet365. |

MAGUIRE v ROBERTSON |
Snap up Paddy powers 11/10 on over 2.5 centuries in the Robertson/ Maguire second round encounter. Maguire looks in good form notching 2 tons in the process of beating Hamilton 10-3. In fairness he could have made a couple more. Although Robertson failed to make a ton in his first match he looks in fine fettle and could well hit a couple himself. Over the best of 25 frames we will be very surprised if this bet doesn't cop. Recommeded bet - £400 ( 8 points ) over 2.5 match centuries, 11/10 Paddy power. |

His fat barelled darts make it very hard for him to get all 3 darts in the lipstick. Recommended bet £550 10/11 Skybet |

KEN DOHERTY |
Take the 4/9 on Ken Doherty to beat Liang Wenbo in their 1st round clash on 23rd April ( Stan James, Bet Direct ) Wenbo is a decent player when in the balls, but has got the worst safety game of any player in the Pro ranks in our opinion. Doherty will tie him in knots and have him slashing at long balls from the word go. Doherty`s safety game will be too much for Wenbo. Its also Wenbo`s 1st time on the big stage, he will be very nervous. We appreciate it`s a short price, but it`s a very confident pick for us. Recommended bet £450 @ 4/9 Stan James |

Take the 4/6 on Joe Perry to beat Stuart Bingham in their recond round clash. Perry played some high class Snooker in beating Dott 10-7, making three century breaks in the process. On the other hand, Bingham was dire against Davis, stumbling over the line 10-8. They have played 3 times in the past, Perry winning all three. A maximum bet here for us.

JOE PERRY |
We believe the 5/6 on Joe Perry to beat Graeme Dott in the 1st round of the World Championship in tremendous value. It's fair to say Dott has gone at the game. He is currenty on a 15 match run without a win, the most recent, a 5-1 stuffing by the veteran Nigel Bond in the China Open. Without a win since October 07 it's beyond believe how some bookies go 5/6 each of two here. Although Perry lost 5-3 to Ding in this weeks China open he looked sharp. They are 2-2 in head to heads, but we strongly fancy Perry to take this one. Recommended bet £300 Joe Perry to beat Graeme Dott, 5/6 Boylesports/Corals. |

The 35/1 on Justin Leonard to win this weeks Byron Nelson Championship is well worth an each way interest with Boylesports. He was been a model of consistancy this year with 4 top 10 finishes and he loves playing in his home state of Texas. He won in texas last year and it would be no surprise if he went close this week.
