Sunday was something of a nightmare!!
The Indian Wells tennis final was settled by two tiebreaks, a point here or there and we would have been collecting.
Northampton Saints won the LV= Cup final but by just the 6 points leaving us tied with the handicap, a couple of missed penalty kicks costing us dearly there.
Man City were 2-0 up before half time killing that game with Fulham getting a late consolation and Vidic never went close, although that was a big price pick for us!!
Since then we've put a little back in the well with Tottenham collecting v Fulham in Wednesdays F.A Cup replay, things looked precarious at half time with Fulham playing some really attractive stuff and going in 1-0 up. Harry's boys came good in the second half though, equalizing early and winning cosily enough 3-1.
And a small bonus offering from La Liga Thursday night with Athletico Madrid doing the bizzo for us v Bilbao, 2-0.
SOCCER SATURDAY TREBLE BRISTOL ROVERS + CHESTERFIELD + SHREWSBURY TOWN
3.79 W.HILL 4.16 BETFRED 4.17 TOTESPORT (returns inc. one unit stake)
CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER READING V WEST BROMWICH ALBION OVER 2.5 GOALS
8/11 BETFRED 8/11 W.HILL
The last six meetings between these sides at the Madjeski has contained a total of 21 goals averaging at 3.5 per game.
F1 AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX LEWIS HAMILTON RACE WINNER
11/2 W.HILL 11/2 BETFRED 5/1 TOTESPORT (prices correct prior to 3rd free practice)
This is a track that Lewis Hamilton is fond of, he won in 2008, 3rd in 2007 and finished fourth last year after starting last on the grid, getting on early holds risk or reward depending on how he performs in free practice before qualifying and the in qualifying itself, but a front row start would see him going off around 7/4.

Cheltenham Shockers......
Our ante post union jack produced just a couple of places but some of the prices of winners were astronomical and it was definitely a meeting for the bookies.
During the week, we posted some picks onto our Facebook page, which automatically update our Twitter posts, a mixed bunch but we'll run through them now.
Our Soccer Saturday treble went close with just Coventry letting us down after West Brom and Ipswich obliged for us, but the same lunchtime we posted Jermaine Defoe to score anytime v Blackburn Rovers which struck just before halftime leaving us an uninterested spectator the second half.
Monday we posted the rather ambitious Cheltenham bet and we ended up with just two out of the nine making the frame, Reve de Sivola and Poquelin, these results didn't get us our money back so a little disappointing.
We tried to pinch a little back from our Cheltenham outlay by backing Notts County v Bournemouth Monday night, live on Sky, excruciatingly Notts conceded an equalizer in the 93rd minute leaving us heartbroken. The footy double we posted produced a winner and a bit of a shocker, Reading crushed a 10 man Derby, who ended up with Robbie Savage in goal but Southampton, surprisingly beaten at home by improving Swindon.
The following evening we followed Leicester v Crystal Palace who obliged at odds against boosting our accounts.
And finally last night our Super League record for this season went to 2 picks, 2 winners when Crusader RL beat Catalan Dragons by 8 points covering our 4 point handicap.
This weekend will see us collect on our pre tournament 6 Nations pick.
France only need to beat England to claim the Grand Slam, which would result in us losing our pick on no one claiming that particular prize, even if they lose, the only other contenders, Ireland will need to win by an inordinate amount v Scotland to win via points difference, France currently priced up for the Championship at 1/150!!
We're starting to get a handle on this years tennis form so expect a few picks to pop up on the Facebook page with some better tournaments starting to tee off, also the golfing majors are on the horizon with the Masters coming up shortly and Tiger Woods making his reappearance after recent transgressions, a must lay.
On to some picks for today:
SIX NATIONS WALES -15 v Italy (2:30p.m k.o BBC1)
10/11 W.HILL EVENS BETFRED -16 10/11 TOTESPORT
SIX NATIONS IRELAND -14 v Scotland (5:00p.m k.o BBC1)
10/11 W.HILL EVENS BETFRED EVENS TOTESPORT
SIX NATIONS FRANCE -10 v England (7:45p.m k.o BBC1)
10/11 W.HILL -9 EVENS BETFRED -11 10/11 TOTESPORT
Some differing opinions on the handicap line for the France v England game, but I would be confident of France covering all three, possibly combined. As an English man who follows his international rugby union side, despite my obvious financial interest, I want to see England lose heavily tonight, just to instigate the obvious shake up needed within the management and coaching staff. After they convincingly beat Wales in their opening fixture, hopes were raised that England would be able to score points against anyone, that has been proven to be fanciful, at the moment I think they are no better than Italy and Scotland, as the close scorelines versus those two shows.
Also if Ireland do not cover their handicap mark and more v Scotland prior to France's kick off, Les Bleus will know they're fate which may result in a free flowing, high scoring fixture.
Ireland need to beat Scotland heavily to give themselves a chance of winning the championship.
Wales have been the nearly men of this years championship, they have been very close at times of playing the scintillating rugby which won them the 6 Nations a couple of years ago and I expect them to give the Italians a bit of a kicking to send their loyal fans away with something to remember.
SOCCER SATURDAY TREBLE WEST BROMWICH ALBION + IPSWICH TOWN + CHARLTON ATHLETIC
3.99 W.HILL 4.32 BETFRED 3.99 TOTESPORT
CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL NEWCASTLE UNITED v Bristol City (5:20p.m k.o SKY SPORTS)
10/11 W.HILL 5/6 BETFRED 5/6 TOTESPORT
Newcastles away form isn't up to the standard of their home form, where they still remain unbeaten so far this season and the old adage of backing odds on away from home is the quickest way to the poor house may turn out to be true but I just can't see Bristol offering much in the way of resistance. Recently they went one down versus second placed West Brom and battled back to win 2-1 but I believe West Brom switched off and allowed City back into that game, Newcastle won't.

Following on Facebook?
Have you become a fan of the ILOVESTEVEPALMER Facebook page?
If you have then you would have picked up the advice on Bradford Bulls +6 v Wigan Warriors last night. Bradford won the tie outright therefore collecting our EVEN money pick.
Remember to become a fan and receive all the up to the minute advice from this page outside of the blogs.
ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE WEST HAM UNITED v Bolton Wanderers (3:00p.m k.o)
8/11 W.HILL 4/5 TOTESPORT 4/5 BETFRED
West Ham are unbeaten in their last 3 home Premier League matches, scoring 5 and conceding none. Their only reverse in their last 6 home fixtures came against Arsenal and in that run they held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw.
Bolton have travelled away 12 times since their last victory on the road. Their last five away trips have yielded 1 point, zero goals for and 11 goals against.
ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIP SOCCER NOTTM FOREST V SWANSEA OVER 2.5 GOALS (3:00p.m k.o)
13/8 W.HILL 5/4 BETFRED
Everything about both these sides recent form points to this being a tight affair won by a single piece of brilliance or a blunder.
13 goals against is the figure both teams have conceded, at home and away respectively.
Swansea have only scored 15 goals away from home in 16 games.
This is one of those picks where everything points to under, but it's just a hunch that maybe as early as halftime this will have gone over!??!
(Take or leave this one)
ENGLISH LEAGUE ONE SOCCER HUDDERSFIELD TOWN v Gillingham (3:00p.m k.o)
6/5 W.HILL 13/10 BETFRED 13/10 TOTESPORT
Huddersfield have a poor record at the Priestfield Stadium.
Gillingham have picked up 8 points in their last 9 League One matches.
Huddersfield have picked up 10 points in their last 5 away games.
Playing it safe with the treble this weekend,
