Tote Sccop 6 jackpot over £2.5 million!

Saturday’s totescoop6 is a double rollover with an estimated jackpot in excess of £2.5 million. Last weekend there were no winners of the scoop 6 for the second succesive weekend, meaning the win fund of £958k and the bonus fund of £715k have both been added to this weekend’s prize fund. The huge jackpot is likely to casue a frenzy of bets on the tote this weekend as punters look to get lucky.

The last major winner of the scoop 6 was Agnes Haddock, a cleaner who won over half a million pounds from a single £2 bet (the cost of one go on the Scoop 6). Agnes won a staggering £410,332 from her original bet where she picked all 6 winners of Channel 4’s feature races, and then went on to win another £278,288 when she picked the winner of the Scoop 6 bonus race the following weekend.

This week’s Scoop 6 takes in the best racing from Newmarket, Cheltenham and Catterick. If you think you can pick the winners of each of these six races you could be a millionaire on Saturday afternoon!

• Leg 1, Newmarket – 2.05pm
• Leg 2, Cheltenham – 2.20pm
• Leg 3, Catterick – 3.05pm
• Leg 4, Newmarket – 3.15pm
• Leg 5, Cheltenham – 3.30pm
• Leg 6, Newmarket – 3.55pm
• Win Fund rollover – £958,743
• Bonus Fund rollover – £715,729

Newmarket July meeting betting preview

totesport.com Stakes (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo,0-105) Winner £52,972.00

A highly competitive sprint handicap for three year olds and low numbers may have a slight edge here although the draw bias is not as bad as it is in many big field sprints. The one to be on here is most probably Trafalgar Bay . An impressive winner at Ascot ’s first meeting of the summer and then unsuited by the way the race unfolded at York when finishing too late. This race is likely to be run to suit and he rates a good bet to get the meeting started. Keep up to date with all the latest racing betting previews here.

UAE Equestrian And Racing Federation Falmouth Stakes (Group 1) (Fillies & Mares) (Class 1) (3yo+) Winner £113,560.00

A disappointing turnout for this race and there is a strong possibility this will be run at a false pace with no front runners in the field. That would suit none of the market principles and the safest option has to be to back the favourite Soviet Song, who has made this race her own over the last few years. Check out the best free bet offers for racing.

TNT July Stakes (Group 2) (Colts & Geldings) (Class 1) (2yo) Winner £

There is only one winner of this race and that is Hoh Mike. Extremely unlucky at Royal Ascot when confidently ridden at the back of the field and then enduring a nightmare passage when making his run all too late compensation surely awaits here. Banker of the meeting.

Princess of Wales ‘s wbx.com Stakes (Group 2) (Class 1) (3yo+) Winner £

Enforcer has been running with much credit this season and it shouldn’t be too long until he opens his account at Group level but backers may have to wait until he encounters a bigger field on slightly softer ground. Mountain High is proven at this sort of level and should go well but don’t discount Linas Selection if he runs. A very impressive Ascot winner and there is still plenty of improvement left.

Ladbrokes Bunbury Cup (Heritage Handicap) (Class 2) (3yo+,0-105) Winner £

It’s should be best to follow those who ran well in defeat in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot in similar conditions and the one who stands out on that basis is Akona Matata who should appreciate the drop back to seven furlongs and is still open to improvement. Zidane is favourite but the race he won last time out looks weak and Mine is capable of getting involved after being drawn on the wrong side of the course last time out. Low drawn horses normally hold an advantage so wait until the draw is made before placing your bets.

Darley July Cup (Group 1) (Class 1) (3yo+) Winner £

Aussie raider Takeover Target is rightly favourite after his Ascot heroics but there is one potential improver in La Cucaracha. She was making his seasonal debut in the Kings Stand and did well to finish within a length of the winner after making her run up the wrong side of the course. The winner on that side, Dandy Man has already franked the far side form so a big run is expected, and she should place as a bare minimum. Remember when it comes to the Cheltenham Festival you can get some great free bets here.

Free Carling Cup betting tips 30/10/07

Tuesday’s live fixture sees West Ham travel to Coventry seeking progression to the fifth round of the competition. Coventry haven’t been performing to well of late having started their league campaign strongly and West Ham are reasonably priced at 11/10 with Bet365. More enticing however is the 2-1 scoreline which is 7/1 with Betfred. Check out all the latest football betting tips here.

The pick of Wednesday’s games is probably the all Premiership tie involving Portsmouth and Blackburn . They are both well organised sides and a 1-1 draw would not be a massive surprise and that is best priced at 6/1 with Betfred. The draw is 12/5 with Betfred. Betfred offer a generous £50 free bet.

The other all Premiership game has Manchester City facing a short journey to Bolton ’s Reebok Stadium. Sven’s men will be keen to put their 6-0 drubbing against Chelsea behind them but Gary Megson has tried to emulate Big Sam Allardyce’s tactics at Bolton and this can see them returning to be hard to beat, especially at home. The Bolton 1-0 scoreline looks highly appealing at 7/1 with Totesport.

In the outright market Arsenal look the best bet, currently priced at 5/1 with Betfred. All the favourites face relatively easy games in the fourth round, with Arsenal probably having the hardest task at Sheffield United. Presuming they make it through ok, they should be backed with a degree of confidence due to the strength of their reserve side that often features in this competition.

Chelsea are currently favourites for the tournament at best odds of 3/1 with totesport. The same firm are also best odds 4/1 about Liverpool who have a good record in recent seasons in the league cup.

Free Champions League betting tips 27/11/07

Liverpool arguably have the biggest tie of the round with a must win game at home to Porto . Poor results so far have left them needing maximum points to have a chance of qualifying and although Porto are no mugs, Liverpool should have just enough to see the Portuguese side off. Both sides base their success on a strong defence so we are likely to see a cagey match with just one or two goals. The 1-0 home win appeals most of the correct score bets and that outcome is 11/2 with Bet365. Steven Gerrard scored a screamer against Newcastle at the weekend and he should be backed in the first goalscorer market at 7/1 with VC Bet. Check out all the latest football betting tips here.

Arsenal are already through and have a left a few first team players out of the squad but should still be fairly strong for their trip to Sevilla. Arsenal are the better side but Sevilla have a decent home record so it may be best to back the draw at 23/10 with Bet365. If the game is a draw the most likely scoreline is 1-1 and that should be backed at 11/2 with Blue Square.

Manchester United are another side who have already secured their qualification and they have a couple of injuries, most notably Wayne Rooney, for their game against Sporting Lisbon. They beat them 1-0 in Lisbon and should be able to repeat the scoreline again at 11/2 with Blue Square. Cristiano Ronaldo was missed at the weekend but should return and he should be backed to score the first goal at 6/1 with VC Bet.

The final match is Chelsea ’s trip to Rosenborg, a side they drew against in Jose Mourinho’s final game as manager. This should be a comfortable victory for Chelsea and 2-0 is the most likely socreline which is worth a bet at 6/1 with Totesport. Frank Lampard scores plenty of goals in the Champions League and this game seems a decent opportunity for him to add to his tally. VC Bet got 13/2 about a Frank Lampard first goal and that may be the bet of the week.

Weekend football betting tips for 28th & 29th October

This week’s football betting tips focus on the Championship and football league, where we believe the best value lies for punters. Keep up to date with all our football betting tips here.

Despite there being a full programme of midweek Premiership fixtures, the value for winning money comes in the lower divisions with our free betting tips. This weeks banker comes in the form of Millwall at home to Hereford. The Lions have taken 13 points from a possible 18 at the New Den so far this season, including an impressive high victory over high flying Leeds last time out. Hereford meanwhile lie one place off the foot of the table. There main problem appears to be scoring goals, just 8 goals from 13 games, and only two of those on the road. With just a single point gained on their travels this season, Hereford won’t be looking forward to the trip to the New Den.

Paddy Power offer stand out best odds of 8/15 on Millwall.

In League 2 the divisions draw specialists meet, and surprise surprise we are tipping a draw! Notts County have drawn 5 from 6 this at home so far this season, and another draw looks set to be on the cards as they entertain Rochdale, another mid-table side who have drawn 4 of their 6 league games on the road.

Betfred and Skybet both offer the best odds off 12/5 on this game ending all square.

Recommended bets:

4pts Millwall @ 8/15

2pts Notts County and Rochdale to draw @ 12/5

Free Championship betting tips 25/10/08

Weekend football betting tips 25/10/08

The best bet of the Championship this weekend looks like Cardiff to draw with bottom club Nottingham Forest. Despite Cardiff currently being in the play-off spot, seven of their 12 league games this season have ended in a draw. Closer inspection of this record shows that on the road, Cardiff have drawn five of their six fixtures. Although Forest currently rooted to the foot of the table, their home record isn’t that bad with one victory and three draws from 6 games, including some difficult fixtures including Burnley, Reading.  Forest’s downfall is their away form, which leads us to believe a draw is a great value bet at 12/5 with Bet 365 and Sky Bet. Check out the latest free bet offers from leading UK bookmakers before you bet.

In League 2 we fancy Gillingham to beat Chester. Gillingham have been one of the most inconsistent teams this season, boasting a 5-0 victory and 7-0 defeat in their open ten games. However, at home they are a solid outfit, collecting 13 points from a possible 18, and keeping clean sheets in four of their six games. The visitors to The Priestfield Stadium on Saturday are Chester, who were thrashed 6-1 in midweek against mid table Rochdale. That takes Chester’s goals conceded to 18 on the road this season in just six games, a record we think makes them very vulnerable on Saturday.

Betting tips

Gillingham are best odds 8/11 with Betfred and Paddy Power.

Reccomended bets: 2pts Cardiff to draw. 3pts Gillingham to win. 1pt double

Free Champions League betting tips 23/10/07

This week is the third week of this season’s Champions League Group Stage and the biggest match is probably north of the border where Rangers face Barcelona . Both sides would probably take a draw at this stage and the 11/4 on offer at Bet365 will carry many punters’ cash. Check out all the latest football betting news here.

On Tuesday Arsenal face as close to a penalty kick as you get in the Champions League when they face Slavia Prague at the Emirates Stadium. The 1/5 about a home win doesn’t appeal but the 15/2 on a 3-0 win with VC looks a good bet.

On the same night Manchester United travel to Ukraine to face Dynamo Kiev and despite these trips never being easy, Kiev aren’t a great side and Manchester United should maintain their 100% Champions League group record this year. 2-0 is the call and that outcome is 15/2 at Betfred.

On Wednesday Liverpool face a trip to Besiktas. The Turks were put in their place by Spurs last season so it is difficult to see them getting a result against Liverpool . Fernando Torres should start for Liverpool and he is fancied to score first at 5/1 with Coral.

Also on Wednesday Chelsea host Schalke. The Germans are a good side on the road, unbeaten in five Bundesliga games and winning their only Champions League Group Stage match at Rosenborg. They are yet to face a side as strong as Chelsea and a 1-0 home win is a confident tip at 11/2 with Blue Square.
