Wednesday 20th February

Tiptoeing along nicely this week.

I can't find anything in tonight's football. And the racing continues to be frozen.

So, here's a bit of fun I've done for the last couple of years. One year was great, and one a bearable loss. The venue is the World Matchplay golf and the bet is all the outsiders in their first round matches. The format allows for a lot of randomness – it's a bit like playing only one set of tennis. One year 50% of outsiders won their matches. Naturally, today could be the day that order is restored but on a difficult day why not have a dabble. I've taken the best prices I can find, mainly Victor Chandler. Bluesq and Betfair. There's 32 matches, but taking out the Even money match bets leaves us with a neat 25 matches to play.
