Just catching up after day at S6. It appears that Pieters would be three shots clear if not for playing the wrong ball & getting a two shot penalty. Depends how much you can hold your nerve. Should at least get a place.
Pieters 80/1 -17 FIRST
Kakko 66/1 -9 Tied 6th
Pepperill 18/1 -8 Tied 10th
Karlberg 30/1 -7 Tied 17th
Dredge 28/1 -1 Tied 58th
Every chance of a win here! Looks like a two horse race.

Pieters 80/1 -6 Tied 3rd
Kakko 66/1 -5 Tied 7th
Pepperill 18/1 -3 Tied 21st
Karlberg 30/1 -2 Tied 39th
Dredge 28/1 +2 Tied 118th
Quite happy to have four out of five players well positioned after the first day.
Have a few small bets for this weekend. All look good but it is August so form isn't too solid.
Rotherham v Fulham
I favour low corners here. Five of the Millers last seven at home have failed to reach 10.5 Corners (8-8-14-9-7-14-5) while all of the Cottagers last five (9-8-7-10-7) on the road has fallen short of this line. Bet on Under 11 Corners (DNB) at 1.85.
Sheff Wed v Middlesbrough
Eight of Wednesday's last nine at home (8-8-6-6-9-10-11.9-6) have fallen short of 10.5 corners while Boro's two away matches this season have had 2 & 7 corners. Bet on Under 10.5 Corners at 1.95.
Bradford v Port Vale
City were great for low home corners last season & they have extended their run to ten consecutive low corner matches (8-6-10-10-10-4-5-9-8-9). Vale match up reasonably well with eight of their last eleven away failing to reach 10.5 corners (7-8-15-10-8-12-8-8-10-13-9). Bet on Under 10.5 Corners at 1.95.
Peterboro v Gillingham
This is a perfect match up for low corners. Boro have had 12 of their last 13 at home dropping short of 10.5 corners (9-8-8-5-6-9-16-4-10-6-5-9-7) wile the Gills have had seven consecutive unders on the road (5-5-10-10-10-6-9). Bet on Under 11 Corners (DNB) at 1.825
Accrington v Northampton
Another perfect match up for low corners. Stanley's last six home matches have all failed to reach 10.5 corners ( 7-8-7-7-7-8) as have the Cobblers last six away matches (5-7-9-9-10-10) Bet on Under 10.5 Corners at 1.90.
All bets are with Bet365.
I have a few correct score bets
Hull City v Preston 1-0 2-0
Coventry v Southend 1-0 2-0
Oxford v Yeovil 2-1 3-1
No big bets though.
Had three winning bets at Rotherham, Bradford & Accrington. It was a "no bet" at Peterboro with just the Wednesday bet losing. I bet most on the Accrington match so was quite a bit in profit.
Correct score at Hull as well.

Enough to pay for a nice holiday!
Not betting hundreds on 80/1 shots. They only come in now & again. It is the fifth time I have backed Pieters on long courses & felt sure he was going to bag one soon. Doubt we will be getting 80/1 again.
Bet bigger on football bets.

Congrats MS, Southey
. I didn't do too good on the golf, but my racing bets did well today so not a bad weekend overall.

How are our long term football bets doing?
Here are comparisons of our price with the current price.
Championship
Middlesbrough to Win (e/w) 11/2 (Now 10/3)
Sheff Wed to Win (e/w) 28/1 (Now 33/1)
Huddersfield to be Relegated 4/1 (Now 11/4)
Blackburn to be Relegated 8/1 (Now 4/1)
Burnley Top North West Side 6/5 (Now No odds available)
Sheff Wed Top Half 4/5 (Now Evens)
Blackburn Bottom Half 5/6 (Now 2/5)
QPR Bottom Half 11/8 (Now 15/8)
Leeds Bottom Half 4/6 (Now 4/6)
Benik Afobe Top Goalscorer 9/1 (now 9/1)
David Nugent Top Goalscorer 16/1 (Now 25/1)
Top Six - Middlesbrough 4/6 (Now 4/11)
Top Six - Hull City Evens (Now 4/5)
Overall pretty happy so far. Middlesbrough have justified my support. I see their defeat against Bristol City as little more than a blip & feel they are set for a top three finish. Huddersfield & Blackburn have both started poorly and should give us a good run for our money. Afobe has started brightly but we still have to survive the transfer window. Nugent hasn't had a start yet for Boro but a couple of goals and......who knows!
League One
Swindon to Win (e/w) 18/1 (Now 20/1)
Barnsley to Win (e/w) 20/1 (Now 25/1)
Bury to Win (e/w) 35/1 (Now 45/1)
Blackpool to be Relegated 11/5 (Now 1/3)
Southend to be Relegated 4/1 (Now 5/2)
Port Vale to be Relegated 13/8 (Now 6/4)
Top Half - Burton Evens (Now 2/5)
Top Half - Rochdale 6/4 (Now 8/13)
Top Half - Shrewsbury 5/6 (Now 8/5)
Top Half - Bury 10/11 (Now Evens)
Bottom Half - Chesterfield 10/11 (Now 7/4)
Bottom Half - Walsall 8/11 (Now 15/8)
Leon Clarke Top Goalscorer 16/1 (Now 16/1)
Tom Bradshaw Top Goalscorer 25/1 (Now 12/1)
Paddy Madden Top Goalscorer 25/1 (Now 10/1)
Top Six Swindon 2/1 (Now 5/2)
Top Six Barnsley 2/1 (Now 11/4)
League One hasn't gone so well. Swindon have proved to be flaky so far and Barnsley are not firing and have been lucky to get the points they have so far. Barnsley have a young side so will no doubt improve but may be too far behind by then. Rochdale, Burton, Southend, Port Vale & Blackpool are going well for us. Chesterfield, Walsall & Shrewsbury are doing less well while the jury is out on Bury. Our goalscorers have started well. Paddy Madden has three league goals while Bradshaw & Clarke have two each. The leading scorer (Armstrong) is a loan player so probably will only play in this division until January and the second leading scorer (Dack) is a midfield player so he is unlikely to get a total to finish top. Madden is scoring freely but I have doubts about the other two. Clarke is currently injured & Bradshaw seems to be creating more goals than he is scoring at the moment.
League Two
Portsmouth to Win (e/w) 4/1 (Now 10/3)
Top Half Wycombe 5/6 (Now 2/9)
Top Half Bristol Rovers 8/11 (Now 2/7)
Top Seven - Orient 11/8 (Now 2/7)
Top Seven - Northampton 13/8 (Now 6/4)
Happy here with all bets now at shorter odds than when placed. Orient are looking good at the moment and it looks like a two way contest already.
I am going to add a Top Goalscorer for League Two - Matt Green (Mansfield) at 25/1 (SKY Bet). This is a bit of a punt with Ibhere already on seven goals and Green on only two and having a terrible injury record. I just think that if Green can stay fit then he could get into the top three scorers. He was quality a couple of years ago, scoring 40 goals in the 12/13 season. He has just got back to fitness and scored twice on Saturday.
