February 18, 2012 @sydneycolt Leave a comment

Ok, attention all Sydney Colt groupies and punt drunks everywhere. It is time to start the betting in 2012. We’ll keep a track of profit and losses so stay solid. All bets will be with Centrebet or Luxbet on their BOBs offer (ie best of best fluc from the bookies ring or the highest tote dividend from the 3 States).

Race 2 n2 HUSSOUSA $150 win Bobs with Centrebet or Luxbet. This is an absolute 2 horse war and our bet is fresh and ready for a 1st up kill. Our only bet.

Listen to the Professor on Sportzfan radio tomorrow for progress. We will also update here each week.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

12 February 2012 234.2 – The Panel discuss the test series between Australia and India with the question being whether Australia has improved that much or was India that bad. Paul Dalligan feels it has a lot to do with new bowling coach, Craig McDermott. Even Sportzfan Stan gave the Aussies the thumbs up with a nine out of ten. Tennis is also on the agenda with a look at Australia playing China in a Davis Cup qualifier being played in Geelong this week. The Panel agree that Lleyton Hewitt and Bernard Tomic have the advantage over Ze Zhang and Di Wu. The Professor raises the question whether Australia will get back into the Davis Cup top 16. Mark Fiorenti comes on to discuss soccer, beginning with Sydney’s coach, Vitezslav Lavicka ‘resignation’ this week. Names rumored to replace him include Italian great, Gianfranco Zola, former Sydney FC player Dwight Yorke and Graham Arnold. There will be other coaching vacancies at the end of ther season and these are also discussed. Paul Dalligan looks at the pros and cons of Harry Kewell’s signing by Victory and whether it was a good thing. Internationally, England’s coach, Italian Fabio Capello, announced his resignation after the F.A’s decision to strip Chelsea’s John Terry of the England captaincy over racism charges during a Premier League match. In rugby league, Paul Dalligan was pleased that the independent commission is off the ground after four years in the making and he discusses the future of the ARL with the coming media rights negotiation.

12 February 2012 234.1 – Paul Gamble is in the chair hosting this week’s Sportzfan Radio and the Professor, who spent the past week in the U.S. for the NFL Super Bowl, gets to sit back and just be a ‘normal’ member of the Panel. Paul Dalligan and Sportzfan Stan round out the Panel and Paul opens by talking about the ABL Grand Final between Perth Heat and Melbourne Aces. The Professor felt that the Super Bowl was anti-climatic for anyone not a New York Giants fan and was critical of the inaccurate, over-hyped coverage that the Australian news gave to the reports of Gisele Bundchen, wife of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, abusing fans. He said the post Super Bowl news buzzed with questions of whether the Colts will retain Peyton Manning, their quarterback since 1999, who is worth 23 million if they don’t cut him by the first week in March. Sportzfan Stan’s rant was on the two year suspension handed out bythe Court of Arbitration for Sport to Alberto Contador. He was also stripped of his 2010 Tour de France title after his positive test for the steroid clenbuterol. The Professor said the penalty was a farce as Contador has been competing regardless. The Gelding talks horse racing and Black Caviar’s easy win. He also reports on Danish Rock who is now in Mick Price’s stables at Caulfield and is described as a fit colt running even times. Nick Tedeschi comes on to talk NRL and his 2012 Punter’s Guide to the NRL. He is reserving his opinion on the Bulldogs at the moment. Dalligan’s “Dark Horse” for the year is the Cronulla Sharks.

Sydney Colt’s Mail for Rosehill 11 February 2012

February 11, 2012 @sydneycolt Leave a comment

Sydney Colt groupies will recall my post where I declared 2012 will be a year of certain profit and I will indicate what to bet on (Best Of Best odds with Luxbet or Centrebet only) and how much to bet. Our bets will be few in number but we are aiming at ensuring a profit this year.

NO BETS TODAY. The track is too wet to ask you to put your money on. I will not be betting! For Punt Drunks only consider race 1 n 2 Jade Marauder race 2 n5 You Got The Love and race 10 n8 Charing Cross e/w

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

January 26, 2012 @thegelding Leave a comment

The Gelding’s attention is firmly on Australia’s National day and expects all his followers to be celebrating in style. The Gelding is a guest of the Melbourne Racing Club committee today and the pressure is on to select some winners in this rarified atmosphere of the committee room.

A little different today with the first race not starting until 3.25pm. The Gelding is sure to comment on this on the next Sportzfan Radio.

As always the bets are on an each way and all up basis.

22 January 2012 233.2 – Daniel believes that signing Patty Mills was detrimental and had they not, the Tigers would have had more wins for the season and retained Darryl Corletto. James Upfill, a local baseball player for the Cheltenham Rustlers, joins the Panel to talk baseball and believes the future of the ABL mainly rests with the media coverage of baseball in Australia. Sportzfan Stan feels baseball in Australia is doomed because of the lack of grounds, players and supporters (a position he has maintiend since Day 1 of the ABL). Mark Fiorenti comes on to talk soccer and says his soccer predictions remain unfulfilled with the Melbourne Heart losing to Perth 2-1. Questions were raised about Besart Berisha being allowed to play after receiving a one game suspension against SydneyFC for challenging a player to a post game fight during last week’s game. Berisha scored the equaliser against Heart. Mark and the Professor have differing opinions regarding the Heart’s ability to survive with low attendance at games this year. The Panel look at the week’s Australian Open results and believe they were disappointing as only two men and no women remain in the tournament. With no Panel member predicting accurately the outcome of the past week, Daniel’s knowledge of the remaining players was tested while Stan decided to barrack for the home stars. The Professor predicts Tomic to win the men’s singles with Kim Clijsters ultimately beating Serena Williams for the women’s title. Paul Dalligan begins by endorsing the local baseball as the best sporting entertainment for the dollar before taking a whack at the Luxbet practices regarding a forfeited tennis match. He was pleased that the NRL’s Independent Commission is likely to start on the 10^th of February.

22 January 2012 233.1 – With Dan Butterly’s first appearance of 2012, he recapped the end of the U.S. college football season with the deluge of bowl games involved and discussed the pros and cons of underclass men leaving college in the hopes of being drafted to the NFL. Dan expressed surprise at teams in the NFL Championship game after the Green Bay Packers lost to the Giants and the San Francisco 49’ers defeated the New Orleans Saints. He thought the match up would have been between the Saints and Packers. Dan says the Ravens will fall to the Patriots this week and the home advantage going to the 49’ers over the Giants for the Superbowl. The NBA strike has been the cause of numerous early injuries to players and predicts that the accelerated schedule will increase that number. Also, aging players might fall prey to being traded as teams will have to weigh whether or not they can keep up with the season’s gruelling schedule. Less than a month until pitchers and catchers report for spring training in the MLB! The Gelding was back in form this weekend selecting three winerss and two placings from his five choices. It took Sportzfan Stan thirty-eight minutes into the show before he called for the first sacking this week. He also observed that “some horses are faster than others”. Daniel talks NBL and felt that Ayinde Ubaka’s sacking with eight games left in the season was the worst timing by the Melbourne Tigers.

Sydney Colt 21 January

January 21, 2012 @sydneycolt Leave a comment

With apologies to Sydney Colt groupies and Punt Drunks everywhere, there are no bets today. It is pelting rain in Sydney as I write and we had just one potential bet who needs it bone dry. Owing to other commitments there will be no bets next Saturday. Hopefully you have your Centrebet or Luxbet accounts topped up and we can fire on 4 Feb.

Looking forward to next Friday night and the return of Black Caviar.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Gelding’s tips for 21 January 2012

January 21, 2012 @thegelding Leave a comment

The Gelding’s attention remains on Flemington and he hopes that after two weeks of slowly getting back into the swing of things, he has some selections today that will not only be successful but also provide some value for punters.

Memo to those who judge the pattern of racing……if seven out of eight races shows the winners to come from the first two horses at the 400 metre mark…..the pattern of racing is NOT even!

As always the bets are on an each way and all up basis.

Flemington

Race 2 Horse 9 – Total Attraction
Race 4 Horse 4 – Viking Hero (for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 5 Horse 11 – Flyingconi (you could quinella it with Horse 10 Smoking Joey)
Race 6 Horse 2 – First Command (you could quinella this with Horse 9 Weekend Special)
Race 7 Horse 8 – Chasse (also for the ladies at the Tennis club)
