Curtis Stigers sang "I Wonder Why......."

Sometimes I wonder why I put myself through the psychological trauma of sports punting!

Previously this week I have backed two football trebles, with one out of the three coming up short by one goal both times.
Arsenal and Chelsea obliged in an over 2.5 goal treble with Real Madrid only managing to score twice against Ajax and unsuprisingly, with the Special One in charge, not conceding any.
Last night, Accrington Stanley won, Luton Town won but Doncaster Rovers could only manage a 0-0 draw at home v Leeds Utd.
A small incursion into Europa League betting this early into the campaign got all that it deserved and I shall be mainly avoiding that until the Champions League groups are decided.

After such a long absence from the blogspot, I would waste valuable study time telling you all the bets and their results I've had since the last post, but one thing I must mention is the AMAZING golf tipping provided by @bettrends on TWITTER, following the advice given by those guys kept me ticking over with 40/1 + 50/1 winners! FREE! Do yourself a favour and become a follower.

Reintroductions over, on with the weekends action.
Since leaving the bookmaking industry, I had a small hiatus from the Sport of Kings, but from Royal Ascot onwards fell in love with a weekend punt on the geegee's all over again, some cracking racing this afternoon from Newbury and Newmarket and Ayr including the massive cavalry charge that is the Ayr Gold Cup, fortunately for any of you reading this, the only horse tips I shall be dishing out are people to follow on TWITTER who are much, much ,much more informed about form and fancies than myself, I shall list a few to get you started.
@Narrowthefield @KeejayOV @wayward_lad GREAT BLOGS!!

Motorsport fans are fed by MotoGP this weekend with the 125's and upwards racing round a track I have never seen before, yet I see the main principals from previous races this season disputing the podium places Sunday lunchtime.

ARAGON 125CC GP

POL ESPAGARO E/W

Currently trading around 3rd favourite behind Marquez and Terol, he has been very quick around here in two practice sessions and represents a small value bet, he will need a good qualifying session and a good start tomorrow to make sure he keeps on the tail of the front two in the market, but another Marquez/Terol duel could play into his hands and the Derbi's are generally quicker than the Asprilla's.

ARAGON MOTOGP

JORGE LORENZO WIN

Recently Lorenzo has been happy to collect points finishing second to Dani Pedrosa, such is his huge lead in the Championship, he could finish in the places for the rest of the season and still win it. In free practice 1 + 2 he has been within half a second of the fastest time and back in his homeland for the last time this season, I feel he will want to stamp his authority on the Championship in front of an adoring Spanish crowd before 3 flyaway GP's to Asia and Australia.

SUPER LEAGUE 2010 PLAYOFF

WARRINGTON WOLVES -10.5PTS

Warrington will have been disappointed at losing to St. Helens last week but having never won at Knowlesly Road it was no great suprise, but to my eyes they showed up well for a long way and should easily cover this handicap mark against the team that finished two places beneath them in the final table. The Wolves beat the Giants twice in regular season and the latest of those by more than the handicap and I see Warrington being ultra determined to make further progress.

ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE

STOKE CITY V WEST HAM UTD OVER 2.5 GOALS

Are West Ham too good to go down again this season? The bottom half of this seasons table is sat to be the most competitive ever and home form will be at a premium. Stoke did well to come from behind v Aston Villa on Monday night but from reports they could have been dead and buried by halftime.
West Ham have averaged 3.5 total goals per game and Stoke 2.75 per game.

SOCCER SATURDAY TREBLE

EVERTON + HUDDERSFIELD + CHESTERFIELD

My recent form with football treble means I put this forward with little confidence and my own stakes will be kept to a minimum. Trading at around 7/2 on Betfair multiples.

Hopefully I will be updating tomorrow having been supplied with plenty of horse winners via TWITTER, my footy bets having done the bizzo and Lorenzo and Espagaro sitting on their respective poles, leaving me plenty to punt on Man Utd v Liverpool.
And finally good luck to Warwickshire in the CB40 final at Lords today!!
C'MON!!!
