Premier League Betting: Man Utd 3-1 win matched at 60

Man Utd destroy Arsenal at the Emirates to throw the Premier League race wide open… Manchester United were matched at odds of 60.0 on Betfair to beat Arsenal by a 3-1 scoreline this afternoon and in the process they have once again thrown the title race wide open. Two goals in quick succession towards the end of the first half caught layers of the 0-2 half-time scoreline (also at odds of 60.0 ) off-guard. The scorer of the first of those two goals, Nani , was backed at 17.0 to grab the opener.

Timeform 1-2-3: Wolverhampton Monday February 1st

The boys from Timeform’s free form service offer three selections for Monday’s sole remaining fixture at Wolverhampton. Mnasikia has got better with each run and found just the well-backed Capricornus too good over course and distance last time. It’s a familiar feeling as frost has left us with just one all-weather meeting to work on, but a winner at Wolverhampton on a Monday afternoon pays the same as one anywhere else, so let the tipping commence! 2.40 – Neo’s Mate was successful off a higher mark over today’s trip on turf last summer and can return to winning ways after giving more cause for optimism at this venue last time

Timeform Daily: Monday, Wolverhampton 5:50

Starburst narrowly gets the nod over the similarly-unexposed Crazy Chris. Formidable Guest can usually be relied upon to give her running and could take a hand also. “ Starburst produced an improved effort when landing a course and distance maiden in December, and was better than the bare result on her handicap bow at Kempton next time.” Crazy Chris won a bumper in July and got off the mark on the Flat at Kempton (mile and a quarter) in November on her handicap bow/first start for Bryn Palling.

Premier League Betting: Sunderland v Stoke City

It’s not the most glamorous match of the weekend but Stoke’s visit to a horribly out-of-form Sunderland may provide a good betting opportunity by siding with the away side, says Richard Walker. “So for true stats fans, my chief suggestion – to back Stoke at 3.9 – will not sit easily, but here are two sides who could barely feel much more different about their own lot.

Australian Open Results: Federer takes no mercy

Roger Federer stormed to yet another Grand Slam win by beating Andy Murray in straight sets in the final of the Australian Open but not before he had traded at odds of 8 on Betfair during his quarter-final match… Roger Federer was at his most brilliant and ruthless best in beating Andy Murray in straight sets this morning, but not before he had traded at odds of 8.0 for the tournament on Betfair. That was when he was trailing Russia’s Nikolay Davydenko by a set and 3-1 and facing two further break points in the quarter-finals, but he showed his class and cool under pressure on that occasion and replicated those qualities once again today. That said, the world number one did drift from starting odds of around 1.62 for the final to 1.96 during a see-saw first set when the two traded blows, break points were aplenty and much of the best tennis of the match was played.

African Cup Of Nations Final Betting: Ghana v Egypt

It’s been a disappointing tournament in terms of the standard of the football with almost all the star players failing to live up to their reputations. But it could yet be one to remember if a young and hungry Ghana team can pull off an unlikely shock in the final, says Dave Farrar

African Cup Of Nations News: Ghana and Egypt players dominate in the team of the touranment

There are times – standing in rain-sodden clothes on rail replacement bus journeys to Wigan, for instance – when the life of a football journalist is a pretty miserable one. But there are times when the perks make you wonder why anybody would want to do any other job
