Boherna proves he is the best

The punting highlight of the week came in Wednesday night's All England Cup greyhound final held at Newcastle and televised live on Sky where my original outright pick Boherna Best landed the odds of 9/2 by bravely holding the sustained challenge of main danger Dotlands Hit Man in a great duel which lasted almost from the first bend.
Really enjoying the dog betting as its usually been very much secondary to the horses in my previous years but its certainly proving worthwhile getting involved in some of these ante post markets while I've been catching up with the nags.
The Bahrain snooker betting has been very up and down but never really threatened to go one way or the other and as I speak one bet in the final could either mean an overall profit or otherwise.
The outrights were a flop again with most of them going out at the first hurdle, admittedly Maguire did reach the quarter finals, though he was tournament favourite anyway so better was expected following Ronnie's withdrawal.
Looking at some of the results in the match betting, very happy to come out of this one intact as any kind of form seems to have been temporary and a number of past h2hs have also been rather misleading along with recent form, which could hardly have pointed anyone in the direction of the likes of Stevens, Robertson or Allen. Even Hendry was being totally written off just a couple of weeks ago given some of his displays early season.
Having played the game at local level for around 30 years now, I know how quickly things can change at this game, myself having a great win at the weekend over one of the top county players and then performing like a complete novice when losing 2-0 to a veteran journeyman in one of the other events!! Sometimes the ball fall nicely and your cue arm gets flowing and at other times they all seem to go awkward and you just cant find any rhythm for love nor money.
Saw a great performance in the Football League Cup on Tuesday by Leeds United against my team Derby, admittedly the Rams won the game 2-1 but were totally outplayed for 70 minutes having taken an early 2-0 lead, surely on this performance the visitors will go very close indeed to securing the Division One title if they could just iron out a few defensive wobbles.
So invested a bit at 9/4 which were bigger odds than I would care to lay after that and also stuck Reading and Leeds in a promotion double for their respective divisions which pays around 17/10.
Boston Bruins have been proving a stubborn team to overcome in the NHL in the early season exchanges so had an each way bet at 33s to complete my roster for the Stanley Cup, have two picks in each division now and though my original fancies have hardly had the best of starts, still a long way to go yet.
Have rejoined the Racegoers Club for the forthcoming year, hoping that I'll be able to get out to the horsetracks again at least once a week, and at least the outlay on membership there will reduce the admission costs for the year which on first glance look a bit steep compared with what I used to pay two or three years ago when I was a regular.
Suppose I'll still be taking advantage of the exchange prices (on betdaq, where else!!) but getting out and about and seeing the horses in the flesh seems a worthwhile exercise once a week if only to avoid becoming a couch potato, plus having done all of the previous 59 existing tracks in person, still need to catch up on Great Leighs and indeed Ffos Llas when that materialises.
Will probably attend some of the Masters wildcard snooker qualifiers next week too which are held at the World Snooker Academy in Sheffield, failing that the UK Championship qualifying rounds are in the same building a couple of weeks later which I've already booked for on a few days.
All the best for now,
Rick
