Oh dear lol, ended up 20 quid down had a little saver on Diversity as I felt they were the only other act in with a chance. Nevermind, I just think Susan Boyle was a victim of her own success really, we all know what british public are like, bring 'em up to shoot 'em down. Diversity were good but basically a bunch of kids dancing, will get boring very quickly.

Unbelieveable. How she lost that, with at least 2 million scottish votes behind her for a headstart, is dumbfounding. It has to be some sort of a fix there. I guess you can never bet on anything voted by the public. Unbelievable scenes, I lost some dough there, I really thought she was a cert. Brings me back to the Will Young vs Garret Gates schnanigans. Gates clearly would have gotten the votes to win but they gave it to young because he would have been well and truely forgotten without it. I never thought that would happen here but I guess it did.

I thought she was rather poor the other night, and she seems to have let it all go to her head, the two dance acts Flawless & Diversity are certainly in with a shout and at 17/2 & 18/1 certainly represent better value.
Mmmmmm 18/1

Wonder if the bookies placed a few votes on Diversity, them winning must've saved the bookies a fortune

Wow the bet of the weekend has just happened Nadal has lost. His opponent was about 45/1 to win before the match. Nadal was 1.02 to win before it.

Now unless you have suddenly grew some balls and are willing to come and get a clip run along and stalk someone else

Miguel Angel Cotto by Decision or Technical Decision @ 6/4
Cracking price.

Value bet for sure. If he wins, it's only going to be by decision in my opinion.
Lots of people picking Clottey in this fight though. I think it's pretty even but I do lean towards Cotto winning based on his boxing ability.

I think Clottey is overrated. I could be wrong though. Hope I'm not!

Absolutely devastated by the pull out
I had already spent the 'winnings' in my head. It was free money and I feel like I have been mugged of £2500
Oh well. Need to make a few Hail mary bets and hope for the best

What you got this weekend boyz?
I have a double bet on Murray rounds 4-6 and Cotto on points - ladbrokes 17/2. decent bet I think. little hedge on Murray 1-3 and Cotto points at 18/1.
Either way I think Murray wins in the first half of the fight, one way traffic and controlled aggression being enough for the kind of limited Lawton. and Cotto points looks the best option as everyone knows Clottey is made of rock. I don't think the chances of Clottey stopping Cotto are as significant as people are saying.

Personally I see Lawton lasting past the halfway point. Similar fight to the McAlister fight. I have to say I strongly disagree that Murray stops Lawton in 6 - when was the last time Murray blew awy anyone decent? He doesn't have the speed. That said I haven't bet on the Murray fight so good look to ya fella!

thanks, dont think he'll blow him away just wear him down a la the lee meager fight.
Interestingly the line for Cotto decision has lengthened at Ladbrokes to 10/11 from 4/5... :?? could there have been a rush of money on a late clottey stoppage?

I think cotto vs clottey is tough to call. Certainly wouldn't be betting either way.

Clottey is no mug. Cotto will have some problems. Clottey stood up to Margaritos bricks, Cotto didn't. I fancy Cotto to win on points actually, but this is a 50:50 because Clottey has the type of style to give Cotto BIG problems. His SPEED is going to be a factor. Plus, he will hurt Cotto if he lands cleanly. Also, I like the way he throws in combinations and keeps the crab defense at all times. There really is a lot to like about Clottey in this fight due to the styles.
