High hopes for Zaynar bid

18/01/2012 – 14:18:28
James Reveley is hoping Zaynar’s class and course expertise will be key factors in the BetVictor.com Handicap Chase at Ascot on Saturday.

The seven-year-old, trained by Nick Williams, made all the running to win a Grade Two novice event over fences at the Berkshire track a month ago but faces a different task this time.

It will be a first time in handicap company for Zaynar, whose part-owner bookmaker Victor Chandler is the race sponsor.

“I was really impressed with him at Ascot. He jumped for fun. He loves the track and it’s probably his favourite. He won over hurdles there as well as over fences,” the jockey told At The Races.

“He’s a proven top novice chaser. Obviously it’s different in handicap company first time over fences.

“He got an easy lead in his novice race but in such a competitive handicap, he might not get such an easy lead.

“They might put it to him but hopefully he has the class and that will stand him in good stead and he’ll jump like he did the other day.

“Hopefully he’ll be in the same form as he was when he won the other day.”

Ribkin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 08:38:35 +0000

BILBAO, SPAIN – Athletic Bilbao take on third tier opposition in their last 16 second leg match at San Mamés on Thursday evening.

Albacete are as long as 11/1 at Victor Chandler to cause arguably the biggest upset of the round by winning the match in 90 minutes. The draw can be backed at best odds of 5/1 at Victor Chandler.

Los Leones are quoted at best odds of 2/9 at bet365 and Sportingbet to qualify from this tie.

Bookmakers are probably expecting a comfortable win for Athletic Bilbao and fancy them to score a few goals as over 2.5 is a top priced 8/11 shot at Coral and 888 Sport. Under 2.5 goals in the match is available at best odds of 5/4 at Victor Chandler.

Those punters expecting an open match can back both teams to score at best odds of 11/8 at William Hill, while “No” in the both teams to score market is top priced at 8/11 with Stan James.

Premier League: Aston Villa vs Everton Odds and Betting Preview

Ribkin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 08:34:20 +0000

BIRMINGHAM, UK: The increased level of competition at the top of the Premier League table has left Everton and Aston Villa, two sides used to competing for a spot in Europe, fighting it out for a top-half finish. The Toffees travel to Villa Park on Saturday for what looks set to be a tight game, with the home side favourites at 7/5 with Bet 365. Everton can be backed at 9/4 with Victor Chandler, who are also top price on the draw at 23/10.

The two teams go into the match in equaly inconsistent form, with two wins, two draws and one defeat in each of their last five. Everton are perhaps the team with more to prove after their midweek defeat to high-flying Spurs last time out, although the visitors will certainly be encouraged by their opponents woeful home record of late. Villa have lost four in a row on their own soil, with their three league wins there this season coming against lowly Blackburn, Norwich and Wigan.

A 1-1 draw is the favourite score for the game, at 11/2 with Ladbrokes, who also offer 7/1 on a 1-0 win for Villa. The same score in Everton’s favour is available at 15/2 with Boylesports, while the game is 17/2 with Stan James to finish goalless. 2-0 to Villa is 11/1 with Coral, who go 14/1 on 2-0 to Everton, with a 2-2 draw, the score in three of the last four meetings between the two sides, available at 16/1 with Victor Chandler.

The ever-prolific Darren Bent is currently experiencing something of a goal drought by his own standards, with just one in his last six games, but the England striker remains favourite to open the scoring on Saturday, at 5/1 with Ladbrokes. On-loan strike partner Robbie Keane, no slouch himself when it comes to top-flight scoring, is 13/5 to make the breakthrough, while Gabriel Agbonlahor is priced at 7/1 with Ladbrokes. Also at 7/1 with Ladbrokes is Louis Saha, Everton’s best hope of drawing first blood, with Landon Donovan, the visitors’ own US import, at 11/1 with Sky Bet.

The game should be a close one and the half-time/full-time plot selections are hard to seperate. The most likely course of events is judged to be Villa/Villa, at 7/2 with Boylesports, closely followed by draw/draw at 4/1 with Betinternet and Everton/Everton at 9/2 with Victor Chandler. Villa are 5/1 with William Hill after drawing at the break, with draw/Everton at 7/1 with Ladbrokes.

Just one point and a goal difference of one stands between the two teams in the league table, but Everton are thought to have brighter prospects for the remainder of the campaign. David Moyes’ men are 1/2 with Sky Bet to finish in the top ten, while Villa are as long as 2/1 with Victor Chandler.

Premier League: Blackburn Rovers vs Fulham Odds and Betting Preview

Ribkin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 08:31:20 +0000

BLACKBURN, UK: Steve Kean will have to start repairing his relationship with the Blackburn fans all over again after his side’s December renaissance gave way to back-to-back defeats in the first week of January. The visit of Fulham this Saturday represents a decent opportunity to return to winning ways, although the Londoners are favourites for the match, at 8/5 with Paddy Power. The draw is 12/5 with Sky Bet, while Rovers are 2/1 with Totesport and Betfred to earn three truly vital points.

Fulham are currently in the competitive mid-table of the Premier League and go into Saturday’s game on good form, unbeaten in four games and on the back of wins over Chelsea and Charlton. The will believe they can continue their run of success against a Rovers side currently propping up the table with just fourteen points all season.

The favourite score for the game is a 1-1 draw, at 6/1 with William Hill, followed by a 1-0 win for Fulham at 8/1 with Stan James. 1-0 to Blackburn is slightly longer, at 9/1 with Bet 365, who also offer 10/1 on both 2-1 to Rovers and a goalless draw. The same price is available on 2-1 Fulham with Betfred, with 2-0 to the visitors priced at 12/1 with Coral.

In-form striker Yakubu, who has fired in 12 league goals in just 15 games, is 13/2 with Boylesports to continue his fine form by scoring the game’s first goal. Bobby Zamora is 7/1 with Coral to do the honours for Fulham, with the same price available on both Andy Johnson and Clint Dempsey with Blue Square and 888 Sport. David Goodwillie is just 8/1 with Paddy Power, despite having scored only once in 13 appearances this season.

Fulham are 4/1 with Ladbrokes to lead at both half-time and full-time and 11/2 with the same firm to win the match after drawing at the break. Boylesports go 9/2 on Blackburn/Blackburn, with the same price available with Victor Chandler that both halves finish level, while draw/Blackburn is as long as 6/1 with Coral.

Rovers look in real trouble this season and are just 8/13 with Coral to be relegated to the Championship come May. While there are no sure things in football, Fulham appear to be safe for the time being, at 25/1 with Betfred and Victor Chandler. Manchester City are strong favourites for the Premier League this season, at 8/13 with Coral.

The game kicks off at 15.00 GMT.

FA Cup: Coventry City vs Southampton Odds and Betting Preview

Ribkin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:49:57 +0000

LIVERPOOL, UK – Kenny Dalglish’s Liverpool host Oldham Athletic this evening in their FA Cup Third Round tie at Anfield. The Premiership giants start the game as firm favourites to win the fixture, and can currently be backed to do so at best odds of 2/15 (bet £15 to make £2 profit) with Coral. For those punters expecting a dramatic FA Cup upset, however, Oldham can be backed at considerably longer odds of 25/1 with Victor Chandler, whilst the draw is on offer at 9/1 with the same bookmakers.

Liverpool suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Premiership leaders Manchester City on Tuesday – a score line that certainly doesn’t reflect the competitive nature of the match – and will doubtless be keen to reassert themselves against Oldham this evening. Dalglish is likely to give opportunities to some of his youngsters and fringe players, with Sebastian Coates likely to start alongside Carragher at the back, but will nonetheless be expecting an emphatic win for his side. Oldham last won at Anfield in 1914, and will have to pull something truly special out of the bag to repeat that achievement in this upcoming game.

In the over/under betting the top price on over 2.5 goals being scored is 7/20 with Bet365, whilst under 2.5 goals is available at 12/5 with Victor Chandler. The bookmakers are clearly anticipating a high-scoring game, and those punters who think that the fixture will end in a goalless stalemate can back under 0.5 goals being scored at odds as long as 33/1 with Coral.

Dalglish will probably to start with the striker partnership of Craig Bellamy and Dirk Kuyt up front, and both forwards are deemed likely to open the scoring by the bookmakers. Bellamy is currently on offer at best odds of 4/1 with Coral to be the first name on the score sheet, whilst Kuyt can be backed at a slightly longer 5/1 with Bet365. Oldham Athletic’s most threatening player, on the other hand, is thought to be Finish striker Shefki Kuqi, who is on offer to break the deadlock at 16/1 with Bet365.

Liverpool are quoted at best odds of 4/9 with Ladbrokes to win the match after leading at half time, whilst draw/Liverpool is on offer at 4/1 with William Hill. Draw/Oldham Athletic is available at a longer 40/1, whilst those punters who think that Oldham will fight back to win the match after trailing at half time can back Liverpool/Oldham Athletic at odds as long as 150/1 with Skybet.

Kick off is at 20.00 GMT

FA Cup Third Round: Birmingham v Wolverhampton Wanderers Odds and Betting Preview

Ribkin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:40:37 +0000

WYCOMBE, UK - Struggling Wycombe Wanderers play host to high-flying Huddersfield Town this evening in the televised League One clash.

Huddersfield are the favourites to win the game at odds of 21/20 with Victor Chandler, and they are odds-on with Betfred, Ladbrokes and William Hill. A draw can be backed at a high of 13/5 with Blue Square, whilst a home win for The Chairboyshas been backed into 3/1 with Stan James from morning odds of 7/2 with the same firm.

Wycombe come into the match on the back of two defeats, which has seen their relegation odds contract into 8/11 with bet365, meaning they are more likely to go down than stay up. Gary Waddock will be hoping that the presence of the Sky cameras energises his insipid side to up their game, and has threatened to drop most of the team, saying to the press that only goalkeeper Bull and midfielder Bloomfield are safe. The Blues have lost seven games at Adams Park this season and will have to do better in front of their home support if they are to stay up in League One, after putting in so much hard work to gain promotion last season. One player that will be keen to make the difference tonight is the Fulham loanee Marcello Trotta, who has a promising future according to Bloomfield in his recent BBC column.

The Terriers are at the other end of the League One table, and both the players and coaching staff will have their eyes on winning promotion to the Championship at the end of the season. There is still half a season to play, but with 44 points Huddersfield are looking strong, and are the third favourites to win the division at 13/2 with bet365, even if most pundits expect Charlton to get the job done and finish top of the tree. Wycombe will have plenty of men marking danger-man Jordan Rhodes, who has notched 22 goals this term and is odds-on at 8/11 to finish the season as the top goalscorer in the division. Huddersfield have been relatively weak in the pre-match betting, possibly because three of their previous four games have finished in stalemates.

In the correct score betting, the favoured outcome is a 1-1 draw, which is a stand-out 7/1 with Ladbrokes, although other bookmakers have shortened the odds recently. 1-0 and 2-1 wins for the away side are both at 8/1 with Ladbrokes, whilst a 2-0 win for Huddersfield is also considered by William Hill at 11/1. A disappointing 0-0 draw is 12/1 with Victor Chandler and Sporting Bet, although it would mean that losing correct score bets are refunded by bet365. Wycombe are 12/1 with bwin to win the match 1-0, whilst a repeat of their 3-1 over Exeter City on Boxing Day is at 33/1 with Stan James.

The first goalscorer betting always attracts plenty of interest in the televised games, and Jordan Rhodes leads the way at a tempting 4/1 with Paddy Power and Coral. Lee Novak is a 6/1 poke with Paddy Power but does not always start for The Terriers. Punters looking to oppose Rhodes in the market could try the Italian Trotta, who has been chopped into 11/2 from 13/2 by bet365 to score the first goal of the game, and it is worth remembering that the striker has scored each of his side’s previous four goals. At bigger odds, Anthony McNamee could be worth a second look at 25/1 with Coral if he makes the starting XI for Wycombe, as he has scored twice already this season.

Huddersfield are 9/4 with bet365 to be leading at both half-time and full-time, with Draw/Huddersfield on offer at 9/2 with William Hill.

In other markets, Rhodes is 7/1 with Betfred to score two or more goals in the game and over 2.5 goals can be backed at 4/5 with Boylesports and 188bet.

The match kicks-off at 7.45pm GMT on Friday 6 January and is live on Sky Sports 1.

FA Cup Winner Betting Update: Chelsea Favourites as United Draw Liverpool

Ribkin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:08:59 +0000

LONDON, UK – The all Championship tie in this season’s Carling Cup semi-final kicks off at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace host Cardiff City with both sides looking to gain an advantage going into the second leg in a fortnight’s time. The home side, despite beating Manchester United in the quarter-final, are slight underdogs in this match and can be backed at best odds of 15/8 at Victor Chandler to win the match. Cardiff City are quoted at 8/5 with bet365 and Paddy Power among others. The draw is a top priced 23/10 shot with Betfred and Skybet.

Crystal Palace have not reached a major domestic final since the famous FA Cup final against Manchester United in the 1989-90 season that went to a replay. Having beaten United in the last round the Eagles have their best chance in a long time of making a Wembley final but it will not be an easy tie against high-flying Cardiff City.

The Welsh side are currently third in the Championship and promotion to the Premier League is their priority for the season. The Carling Cup has proved a welcome distraction for Cardiff as they showed their quality with a comfortable 2-0 win over Blackburn Rovers in the quarter finals. The lure of Wembley and European football will be enough the get both sets of fans up for the match.

Cardiff City have been scoring goals for fun this season, while Palace have struggled to find the back of the net; relying on their solid defence to pick up some good results. The over/under betting suggests that the bookmakers feel it will be a low scoring first leg as under 2.5 is a top priced 4/6 shot at Skybet and Stan James, with over 2.5 quoted at best odds of 6/5 at Ladbrokes and Victor Chandler.

Scotland international striker Kenny Miller is favourite to open the scoring in the match and can be backed at best odds of 6/1 with William Hill and Betfred to give Cardiff City the lead. His likely strike partner Rob Earnshaw is available at 7/1 at Ladbrokes. Wilfried Zaha is Crystal Palace’s top scorer in the Carling Cup and is quoted at best odds of 8/1 with Blue Square and Totesport to hit the back of the net first.

The half-time/full-time market sees Crystal Palace/Crystal Palace quoted at best odds of 4/1 with Coral and Betinternet, whilst draw/Crystal Palace is a best priced 11/2 chance at Paddy Power and 888 Sport. Cardiff City can be backed at best odds of 7/2 at Ladbrokes and Betfred to win the match after leading at the break, with draw/Cardiff City available at best odds of 5/1 at bet365 and Paddy Power.

Crystal Palace are top priced at 5/4 with William Hill to qualify for the Final after both legs are completed, with Cardiff City quoted at best odds of 4/6 at bet365 to qualify from the tie.

The match kicks off at 2000 GMT on December 10th and is live on Sky Sports 1HD

Premier League: Tottenham vs Everton Odds and Betting Preview

Ribkin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:02:03 +0000

MALLORCA, SPAIN – Real Mallorca face Real Sociedad this evening in the second leg of their fifth round tie in the Copa del Rey. Mallorca are hoping to overturn the 2-0 lead which Sociedad secured earlier this month, and will have to approach today’s game with a positive and attacking mentality. Joaquin Caparros’ side will be playing with the advantage of an enthusiastic home crowd, and start as 19/20 (bet £20 to make £19 profit) favourites with Blue Square to win this game. For those punters anticipating a victory for the away side, however, Sociedad can be backed at 3/1 with Coral, whilst the draw is on offer at a market best of 5/2 with Victor Chandler.

Despite starting as favourites to win this match, Mallorca are still outsiders to progress from the tie. Mallorca can be backed to make it to the next stage of the competition at best odds of 4/1 with Stan James, whilst Sociedad are favourites to do so at significantly shorter odds of 1/6 with Bet365.

Sociedad secured a 2-0 victory in the first leg of this Copa del Rey tie, with a headed goal from Mikel Aranburu Eizagirre giving them an early lead and a neat finish from Imanol Agirretxe sealing the match. The main tactical question for manager Philippe Montanier ahead of this evening’s game is whether to cautiously defend this lead or to play a positive and open strategy as they did in the last fixture. One thing can be sure, however – that Real Mallorca will come out all guns blazing. The stage is set for a captivating encounter.

In the over/under betting the top price on over 2.5 goals being scored is 21/20 with Ladbrokes, whilst under 2.5 goals is on offer at 17/20 with Victor Chandler. The bookmakers are clearly not anticipating this crucial fixture to end in a dreary and anticlimactic goalless draw, however, and punters can back under 0.5 goals being scored at odds as long as 10/1 with Ladbrokes.

Israeli forward Tomer Hemed has been Mallorca’s most threatening player so far this season, netting five goals in thirteen La Liga appearances. Hemed starts tonight’s game as joint favourite to open the scoring at 13/2 with Victor Chandler. Hemed’s team mate Marvin Ogunjimi is on offer at identical odds with the same bookmakers. Sociedad’s most threatening striker, on the other hand, is deemed to be ex-Arsenal star Carlos Vela, who can be backed at 17/2 with Bet365 to break the deadlock. Imanol Agirretxe is available at slightly longer odds of 9/1 with Paddy Power.

Mallorca are quoted at best odds of 9/4 with Coral to win the match after leading at half time, whilst draw/Mallorca is on offer at 4/1 with Paddy Power. Draw/Sociedad is available at 7/1 with Ladbrokes, whilst those punters who think that Sociedad will fight back to win the match after trailing at half time can back Mallorca/Sociedad at odds as long as 50/1 with Boylesports.

Kick-Off is at 19.00 GMT

Copa del Rey – Levante UD v Alcorcón Odds and Betting Preview

Ribkin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 10:58:20 +0000

MANCHESTER, UK – Premier League leaders Manchester City are top priced evens (bet £10 to make £10 profit) favourites with Betfred and Ladbrokes to beat Liverpool at home on Wednesday night as they bid to win their second domestic trophy in as many seasons. Kenny Dalglish’s side can be backed to bounce back from their last defeat at Etihad Stadium at best odds of 100/30 at bet365 and Stan James. The draw is quoted at stand-out odds of 5/2 with Victor Chandler.

As the tie is a two-legged affair the bookies are also quoting odds on which side will qualify from the tie. The Citizens are top priced at 8/13 at bet365 and Betfred, whilst Liverpool are available at best odds of 13/10 at bet365 to make the final.

Manchester City can welcome back Gareth Barry to the side after he missed the 3-2 defeat to Manchester United at the weekend having been sent-off when City beat Liverpool 3-0 at home in their last Premier League match. City will be determined not to lose two matches in a row especially as many believe they would have beaten United if Vincent Kompany had not received a straight red for his two footed lunge on Nani.

Kenny Dalglish will be hoping his side can be more resilient than last time out at Etihad Stadium and not have to recover from a big defeat at Anfield in two weeks. Without Luis Suarez up front the Reds lack potency and could well suffer on Wednesday evening.

Indeed in the first goalscorer betting market Liverpool forwards aren’t really in the running according to the bookies as Craig Bellamy and Andy Carroll are as long as 10/1 with Stan James, who offer best price in all the first goalscorer betting. Sergio Aguero is top priced at 11/2, with Mario Balotelli next in the betting at 6/1. Edin Dzeko is a top priced 13/2 shot, whilst David Silva can be backed at 17/2, also with Stan James.

Bookmakers think this match will be a lower scoring encounter than last time as over 2.5 goals is a top priced 21/20 shot at Ladbrokes, while under 2.5 is quoted at best odds of 5/6 with Victor Chandler.

In the half-time/full-time betting market Manchester City can be backed at best odds of 9/4 at 888 Sport and totesport to win the match after leading at the break, whilst draw/Manchester City is a top priced 4/1 shot at Ladbrokes and William Hill. Liverpool/Liverpool is available at best odds of 7/1 with betinternet and totesport, while draw/Liverpool can be backed at best odds of 8/1 at Paddy Power and bet365.

The match kicks off at 1945 and will be shown live on BBC One
