That 'll bite me on the ass later

I know the Padres were going so well and have gone off the rails and will probably end up losing to the Mickey Mouse Backs lol

My pick of the night would be the Astros (133/100 with Bet 365) who look on a small upward curve at the minute, Cubs are decent but have had a nice run of home games and a road trip might find them out tonight.

Good stuff which site do you use????

Got a few decent MLB links but none that comprehensive

Now do I change my mind or stick to my guns.

Hope so...using the old betting adage never change your mind....does not mean you will win just have less reason to sulk and moan when you lose

I fancy the British Lions to do South Africa, I was confident before but with the following Injury list continuing to mount it's looking increasingly likely:



A few Bets i fancy but i won't be going big, Tommy Bowe is the one that stands out most to me...

British & Irish Lions Outright (5/2) (PaddyPower)
British & Irish Lions 3-0 (22/1) (PaddyPower)
Tommy Bowe Top Lions Tryscorer (9/1) (Coral)

Tom Shanklin dislocated his sholder tonight and has to be a doubt for the Lions which will not help their cause.
