JamieE Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 I know, and sadly you may be right - but there can be NO argument against my original statement that it can and probably will lead to further corruption in our Sport. Where there is Betting - there is corruption - as sure as Night follows Day. :sad: I can see where you're coming from on the corruption front, there can always be that seed of doubt planted. Having said that I actually think speedway is missing out on not opening itself up more as a betting sport. Despite its many rules and unique issues which make it different to more mainstream sports, it's got to be one of the very best for betting. On numerous occasions when mentioning my interest in speedway to people who know little about it, they have asked about whether it offers betting. Certain tracks could probably attract significantly more people along if they offered a full 'greyhound' type night out. I'm with the Eastbourne fans on their team's odds, I think they have as good a chance as anyone of being up there this season and 10/1 on the Eagles looks to be the most attractive odds in my opinion. Don't think they can beat Poole but wouldn't be surprised to see them make the play off final. A solid top 5 with a trump card in Michelsen and what should be a reliable, slightly more experienced reserve pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't know a great deal but he's worked out red and green win most races in the week and watches the gate stats in a GP. Thanks to this betting getting him interested he's talking about going to Cardiff this season. So gambling has attracted one fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Looki g at gp odds, withdrawal of emil doesn't seem to have shifted other odds (although holder now only 7-1). You could cover ward tai holder nki hampel and Pedersen to win the title for a 10% return which seems easy money. Think all those riders look decent value now. Just wish nz tab offerred betting on this, as cant be bothered eith opening a uk account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Turner Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 If Darcy keep's calm on the track next year (also sober and out of handcuffs) then he will be untouchable. I remember when I used to work for Curry's a couple of years back and Darcy Ward came in. I served him and he asked for one thing and one thing only... an electronic coffee grinder.

hasta la vista Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Have seen that first odds are out for Best pairs with BetVictor. Russia faves, think Holder and Ward should go well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Have seen that first odds are out for Best pairs with BetVictor. Russia faves, think Holder and Ward should go well. Isn't Ward riding for Poole on 2 of the dates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCookie Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 What about the ERC then? PK at 33s stands out for me after his performance in the Olympique, tougher field granted but a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 (edited) Never remember PK being that strong at Brandon. Stand outs for me would be Iversen, Ward, Kildemand, Tai or Bjerre. Bjerre was one of the fastest On our track last year. Of course I will be hoping for a win from Harris, Hans, Tai or Rory. Shame no Nicholls in line up this year Edited March 21, 2014 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Bjerre and killer at 18s and pk at 33 look thr most appealing. Darcy tai and nki obviousky favourites but not much value. Bv at 9/1 for el looks decent? For nz gp the teo previous winners hsmpel @ 6/1 and hsncock @ 16/1 look the best value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirate Nick Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Zagar over 11 and Cook (flying at Poole on Friday) to beat Kennett off scratch worth a little tickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vog Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Richie Worrall +2 over Nermark seems the best value to me. 13/8 at B365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Richie Worrall +2 over Nermark seems the best value to me. 13/8 at B365 I've gone for a bit of that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Got a tenner on hancock at 15s and ward for the nz gp, plus a whopping $2 on batch at 50. Will put a small bet also on the four riders with two gate ones whiever they may be (unless bunyan), in case there is a repeat of lsst years massive advantage off the inside gate.

Terry Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Just stuck £100 on Darcy to win heat 1 at 1/2, surely an easy £50. If not, I'll be depressed for the rest of the meeting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
