Been awhile since the last post but back for some summer action here at the revolutionFancy kiwi golfer Tim Wilkinson in tomorrows Australian PGA. He currently is at $65's on betfair to win outright, and $5.60 to finish top 10 - he finished equal 14th last year at the same courseHe plies his trade on the US tour but had an injury interrupted season this year but finished equal 12th last week in the Open after shooting a disappointing 74 in the final roundHe also had a reasonable finish in the Au read more..

AFL - Round 17

Published on Sat, 01 Aug 2009 03:11:00

It's hard to go past all the favourites this weekend in the AFL.It's hard to go past Geelong when they are playing in Geelong. Saying that they are playing a pretty good team in Adelaide today. But interstate teams playing at Skilled stadium generally fall to pieces so to add some value into the Cats we will back Geelong at $1.98 on betfair to win by more than 25.5 points.Must say though the Western Bulldogs at $1.05 certainly doesn't offer any value. Although they should win easy today there is read more..

I Like Tarts!!!

Published on Sat, 25 Jul 2009 01:27:00

For one reason or another have not been able to post for awhile, but some action tonight from Ascot in the UK.Tartan Bearer to win the big race tonight in the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes. Nothing between it and Conduit. Conduit hasn't won right handed, all it's big wins have come left handed so that is the difference, so Tartan Bearer it is as it has won right handed.It's around $6 on betfair so a good each way bet read more..

July Cup

Published on Fri, 10 Jul 2009 10:06:00

On tonight a little after midnight I think. Looks a very competitive race. Like Paco Boy but with it dropping back in distance I will give it a miss. Scenic Blast favourite on betfair at $2.76, while Takeover Target is at $17's. read more..

AFL - Round 15

Published on Fri, 10 Jul 2009 01:36:00

Predicting a couple of upsets this weekend in AFL.Western Bulldogs, at $1.63 on betfair, deserve to be favourites for tonight's clash against Collingwood and we expect them to be too good for the magpies - so we will get on at this price.Carlton at $1.30 are very short, even though they are playing Richmond. Carlton have been too up and down this season to lump on at short odds. Had a look at Richmond with a 24.5 point start paying $1.92 but don't fancy that either - so we will skip this game.Wa read more..

Golf - The Open Championship Early Thoughts

Published on Tue, 07 Jul 2009 05:43:00

Fancy taking on some of the English players in the open, so Casey, Donald, Westwood, Poulter (twat!) won't win but I do think Oliver Wilson could go well at a big price.Early punts:When betfair offer the Swedes as one bet; get on -why back 1 fool when ya can back 10 at once! 8-1 would be a fair price.Woods if his price goes above $3.50, currently best priced at $3 but sometimes the market drifts the day before tee off.Oliver Wilson at 125-1 goes about his business nicely. Ogilvy at 40-1 is also read more..

Cricket - The Ashes 1st Test

Published on Tue, 07 Jul 2009 05:33:00

Fancy taking on Australia in the first test starting this week in Cardiff. You could of layed the Aussies at $2.70 yesterday, but that has drifted out to $3 after Brett Lee announced he would not be playing. It's meant to rain during the week in Wales - and I'm not sure if they will have the roof open or closed at millennium stadium.Will back Australia to win the series 2-1 which is paying $8.60 on betfairEDIT: They are not playing at the Millennium stadium at all so the weather will come into p read more..

Tennis - Wimbledon Men's Semi Finals

Published on Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:24:00

Andy Roddick at $3.90 looks very good value tonight in his clash with Andy Murray. There will be enourmos amount of pressure on Murray and he did have a marathon five seter in his last match.We hope Tommy Haas wins and he too looks good value at over $11 on betfair. But for anyone to beat Federer is a tall order. We will have a small bet on Tommy Haas at $11.50, but we will probably go loooking at other angles for action on this game - maybe set betting. Federer to win 3 sets to 2 is paying over read more..

AFL - Round 14 Update

Published on Fri, 03 Jul 2009 05:32:00

A very profitable round last week, with all but one of our selections getting home... for this round:A little surprised that Collingwood are $1.50 favourites for tonight's clash. Although they probably deserve to be favourites there is not much difference between the teams. We will back Essendon at $2.82.On Saturday we have selected Melbourne at $2.06 to defeat West Coast, hoping the Dee's will rise to the occasion for Jimmy, but with the demons record over the last two years punters should be c read more..

AFL - Round 14

Eclipse Stakes

Published on Thu, 02 Jul 2009 10:49:00

Eclipse on Saturday and Sea the Stars is around 10/11. Winning the 2000Guineas and Derby (it only really raced for about 200 meters in the Derby) one would think that racing at 2000 meters should be ideal. Yes, winners of the Derby stepping back in trip have been beaten in the Eclipse but that should not be a problem. Rip Van Winkle is 7-2 which is no value given it was beaten by Sea The Stars on both runs this season. 3 years ago Oratorio won the Eclipse after being beat in the derby and 200 read more..

Tennis - Wimbledon Day 5

Published on Fri, 26 Jun 2009 03:07:00

Missed last night but we have tipped 18 out of 21 winners so far in the tournament.In tonight's action we will overlook both Federer and Williams, who should both win easy, as both are at less than $1.10 as we go searching for some slightly better value.The lucky seven for tonight are Novak Djokovic at $1.28, Elena Dementieva at $1.11, Robin Solderling at $1.21, Nadia Petrova at $1.40, Marion Bartoli at $1.48, Daniela Hantuchova at $1.45 and Tommy Robredo at $1.76We will include them in a number read more..

AFL - Round 13

Published on Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:25:00

Start the weekend off by backing Essendon at $2.84 with betfair in tonight's match, which is good value.Collingwood at $1.16 will be too good for Fremantle Saturday, while we will back Sydney with a 24.5 point start at $1.95 against Adelaide.Don't be surprised if the demons give Brisbane a scare Saturday night in Brisbane. We will back Melbourne with a 44.5 point start at $1.95.Hawthorn should win tomorrow night, but at $1.42 don't offer much value considering their recent form, and they are pla read more..

Tennis - Wimbledon Day 3

Published on Wed, 24 Jun 2009 06:05:00

No More Free Bets

Published on Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:46:00

Sad news really...Until recently every time a betfair banner was sighted on a web page the offer of a $50 free bet was hard to miss. Offering free bets to new customers has been a very common marketing tool used by online bookmakers and betting exchanges, but not any more....The following article comes from the Gambling Complaince website Victoria Tightens Betting Ad Rules15 Jun, 2009 / GamblingCompliance Ltd. / Andrew GellatlyThe Government of the Australian State of Victoria has now approved a read more..

Bypassing the Betfair Minimum Bet

Published on Mon, 22 Jun 2009 09:51:00

The minimum bet on Betfair in Australia is $5. However, placing a bet for under $5 is easy. There maybe a number of reasons you may want to bet less than the minimum, particular if you are new to betting exchanges, or you are keen to trial and practice betting systems or strategies you may be testing.Anyway the following steps should guide you through, and after practicing a few times you will pick the steps up really quickly.1. Select the event you require2. Chose your selection. In this case w read more..

Royal Ascot - Final Day

Published on Fri, 19 Jun 2009 22:03:00

Sacred Kingdom at $3.80 to win the Golden Jubilee tonight. Big reports coming out of HK about how well it has settled and worked in the UK. A HK horse Cape of Good Hope won this race 4 or 5 years ago and this one is rated higher and has won more group 1's so has a good chance. read more..

AFL - Round 12 Part II

Published on Fri, 19 Jun 2009 21:55:00

Although the game is being played at ANZ stadium tonight, and not the SCG, we still think Sydney might upset Collingwood, who are an average side that's overrated by many. Take the $2.20 0n offer for Sydney on betfair.In the Sunday match, Fremantle came really close to beating Geelong in this corresponding match last year - and were infact unlucky not to win. But although Fremantle are a rabble this year we will back them with a 44.5 point start at $1.85 on betfair. read more..

Golf - US Open

Published on Thu, 18 Jun 2009 10:40:00

A number of top players missing this week at the US Open. Tiger in form though and will be very hard beat but at odds less than $3 there is little chance of making a killing. Instead we will concentrate on the market Winner W/O Tiger which still throws up some pretty good odds. Following on with our theme from Augusta we will back the following six golf, and make a good healthy profit if any salute Geoff Ogilvy $12, Paul Casey $18, Padraig Harrington $44, Camilo Villegas $36, Henrik Stenson $44 read more..

Royal Ascot - Day 3

Ascot Gold Cup tonight with Yeats, who is well known in Australia after running in the Melbourne Cup a few years ago, going for his 4th Gold Cup win in a row. We might take this favourite on and have ago at the young 4yo Patkai at $4.50 on betfair.In other races July Jasmine $7.60 in race 2, and Roman Republic $9.80 in race 4, look good each way bets.While the Aidan O'Brien trained Freemantle $2.50 has been getting plenty of big wraps from the experts in blighty, although at that price it is not read more..
