INDY 15/2 FOR A CLEAN SWEEP
Another week, another win for the Colts, who now head into their bye-week
with a satisfying 7-0 next to their name. The 2/1 Super Bowl favorites were
15/2 joint favorites at the outset, the same price that bet365 now make
them to go unbeaten throughout the season. They certainly can do no wrong
at the moment, but a glance at their schedule suggests that they’ve had an
easy time of it so far, with their seven victims to date combining for a
mere 14 wins in 44 appearances this season. The games do get a little
harder from now on, starting with their nemesis, the Patriots, on their
return a week on Monday. However, their tempting schedule does give them a
great chance of securing home advantage in the playoffs, and it wouldn’t
have escaped their backer’s notice either, that the Super Bowl will be
played in their favored indoor conditions in Detroit.

bet365’s Indianapolis regular-season record prices … 16-0 15/2, 15-1 7/4,
14-2 11/4, 13-3 9/2, 12-4 15/2, others on request.

WEEK 7 RECAP
The Colts are certainly the team that everyone wants to back this season,
although the many bet365 customers who bet them to cover the 14.5-point
spread would have been sweating when the Texans leveled the game at 14-14
in the second quarter. Indy were one of seven winning favorites who covered
the line in Week 7, with the best performance coming from Washington, whose
offence went crazy as they beat a hapless San Francisco by 22 points.
Luckless San Diego suffered their fourth narrow defeat in seven games (but
still covered), and are out to 25/1 in the outright market. Pittsburgh are
moving in the opposite direction (10/1 from 11/1), after a crucial road win
at divisional rivals Cincinnati (22/1 from 18/1), which also saw their odds
for the AFC North cut to 4/7 (from 5/4).

WEEK 8 - WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ NY GIANTS
Su Oct 30 – 1:00 pm EST/17:00 GMT
Last week we cashed in with Denver (+1.5) in their NY win, but don’t feel
as if the Redskins will offer as much of a challenge this week, so we’ll be
playing the Giants giving up a short number (-2.0). The importance of home
advantage should not be underestimated, and the G-men are 4-0 (3-1 ATS) in
front of their home fans this season. They also took the same fixture last
season, easily covering the number, and that trend will continue this week.
Since getting off to a 3-0 start, Washington has now lost two out of three,
and are allowing 22-points per game in the process.

Pick 1: NY Giants (-2.0) @ 10/11

WEEK 8 – ARIZONA CARDINALS @ DALLAS COWBOYS
Su Oct 30 – 1:00 pm EST/17:00 GMT
We’ve already seen plenty of interest in the Cowboys this week at an
opening line of 7.5 (now 9.5). That line may be slightly inflated now (fair
play to all the bet365 customers who got on early this week), but we can
still ‘get in the game’ by playing the ‘under’. Dallas is allowing just
12.3 points at home, and has held their last three opponents – Eagles,
Giants and Seahawks - to a combined 36 points. Those teams’ offences rank
first, fifth and 12th respectively, and the Cardinals offence isn’t nearly
as good. Their defense, however, can be respectable, and they look capable
of keeping the scoring low this week, especially as the Dallas offence has
some key injuries.

Pick 2: Arizona @ Dallas – Under 40.0 points @ 10/11

A $50 parlay on the above two games pays out $191.34 - which includes a
bet365 bonus of 5%

UP TO 50% MORE ON BET365 PARLAYS
Betting purists will say that you should be sticking to single bets, but
this is one way of getting rich cheaply, and there’s nothing wrong with a
speculative wager on the weekend’s games – plus you’re assured of getting
some extra value with our Football Parlay Bonus! Each week, we pay out up
to 50% more on successful NFL & NCAAF parlays on the following 6
markets:-

Point Spread, Game Total, First Half Point Spread, Second Half Point
Spread, First Half Total, Second Half Total.

This week’s suggested parlay is on the following teams:

• Cincinnati (-9.0) – are strongly fancied to bounce back against a poor
Packers side.
• San Diego (-6.0) – has a great chance to atone for some unlucky
defeats.
• Houston (-2.0) – will see this as their best chance to win a game all
season.
• Tennessee (+1.5) - need this game badly and will get it in a big way.

All teams are currently priced at 10/11, and a $50 parlay pays out $730.59
- which includes a bet365 bonus of 10%

NASCAR
*******
EDWARDS IN THE NICHE AT 12/1
Just five races to go in the chase for the championship, and the road show
moves on this week to the Atlanta Motor Speedway for the Bass Pro Shops /
MBNA 500 (live In-Play betting available). Even though Atlanta is
considered to be a cookie-cutter track (same degree of banking in the
corners as Charlotte and Texas), the set up is still fairly unique, and
certain drivers have found success easier to come by here than others. In
particular, the Roush gang, whose drivers must all be considered as
potential winners this week. Top of that list must be Greg Biffle (15/2),
closely followed by Matt Kenseth, Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards, and it’s the
latter that could be the value bet this week at 12/1.

In the spring Atlanta race, and in his first full season on the circuit,
Edwards waged a thrilling final-lap battle with Jimmie Johnson (5/1
favorite this week) before taking his first career checkered flag. Before
that, he’d posted his first series top-five in this event last year,
running third behind Johnson and Martin, so he’s obviously very much in the
niche on this track. Currently fifth in the standings (149 points behind
leader Tony Stewart), he’s also got the incentive of the chase, but don’t
be surprised to see Johnson chase him all the way again this week.

Nigel’s Checkered Flag: Carl Edwards @ 11/1

bet365 MNBA 500 prices … Jimmie Johnson 5/1, Tony Stewart 6/1, Greg Biffle
15/2, Kasey Kahne 9/1, Ryan Newman 10/1, Carl Edwards 11/1, others on
bet365 website.

************
TERMS ARE FAVOURABLE AT 16/1
Sa Oct 29
This Saturday’s Breeders Cup meeting from Belmont Park is the Super Bowl of
the racing world and, as you’d expect, offers us some excelling betting
opportunities. From a Europeans perspective, our best chance looks to be
Ouija Board (currently available at 15/8) in the ‘Filly & Mare Turf’ (7.35)
after bolting up in this race last year. However, that was on the back of a
career-best performance in the Arc, and she may be vulnerable this time,
having not shown nearly the same sort of form this season. We can still
take this prize home, however, via the British-trained Favourable Terms,
who is available at a very generous bet365 price of 16/1. Her trainer,
Michael Stoute, will be aware of what’s required to win this race having
saddled Islington to collect two years ago.

The Mile (8.45) has been one of the happier hunting grounds for the
Europeans, but our challenge doesn’t look as strong this year, and the home
side look to have it sewn up with Leroidesanimaux (6/5). However, if he ran
below form, the most likely winner would be another US-trained runner,
Artie Schiller (6/1), so it might be worth having a reverse exacta on him
with the favorite. We have a stronger hand in the Turf, where Azamour and
Bago head the market at 5/2 and 7/2 respectively, but preference is for
Shirocco at 5/1, providing he gets the soft ground he loves (v. likely). In
the sprint, Lost In The Fog (11/10) will be hard to beat, but it’s not
worth taking short prices in a race like this, and you can get better odds
by backing both Silver Train (8/1) and Lion Tamer (8/1) against him. In the
Classic (10.35), Rock Hard Ten looks something to bet on at our industry
best 7/2. His pari-mutual odds on the night are likely to be much lower, a
comment that applies to the majority of the fancied US-trained runners. In
the other races I like the look of the dirt-bred Ivan Denisovich (take
pari-mutual odds) in the Juvenile (6.55), and Folklore (take 5/2) in the
Juvenile Fillies (6.20).

STICK WITH OGILVY AT 33/1
Th Oct 27 – 4:00 pm EST (USA)/20:00 GMT
Fr Oct 28 – 4:00 pm EST (USA)/20:00 GMT
Sa Oct 29 – 3:00 pm EST (USA)/19:00 GMT
Su Oct 30 – 2:00 pm EST (ABC)/18:00 GMT
Vijay Singh could be over-priced at 7/1 to land the Chrysler Championship,
the last full-field tournament of the official US Tour season. That looks
an over-reaction to his poor form of late, including a missed cut last
week, but Vijay could easily bounce back here and it has to be in his
favour that this week’s event will be less of a putting contest. However,
it’s been more profitable taking on the favourites recently, and last
week’s pick Geoff Ogilvy (tied 3rd, one shot off a playoff with shock 150/1
winner Lucas Glover) is worth persevering with at a bet365 standout price
of 33/1 (35/1 Enhanced Win Only). He was a frustrating selection last week,
as he was tied for the lead going into the last hole, but was forced to be
overly aggressive on his approach shot after Glover had holed out from a
bunker to birdie the last! That cost him a bogey, but it was still an
impressive performance and it did maintain his excellent record in Florida.
His record on this course isn’t bad either – 20th and 9th from two attempts
– so let’s hope for better luck this week!

Nigel’s Chrysler Championship Pick: Geoff Ogilvy @ 33/1 (Each-way ¼ odds
1.2.3.4.5.)

bet365 - Get In The Game *UK Version*

*UK Edition*
Get In The Game - with Nigel Ridgway of bet365
**********************************************

FOOTBALL
********
BORO LONGING TO BE BACKED AT 7/2
Sa Oct 29 - 5.15 pm ko (PremPlus)
Middlesbrough are never at team you'd want to have your house on, but the
temptation is so strong to oppose United right now that Steve McLaren's
side are worth an interest at 7/2 in Saturday's live encounter (ko 5.15,
Prem Plus). The Red Devils may have won four out of five away from home
but
these were against Everton, Newcastle, Fulham and Sunderland, while
Spurs,
Liverpool and Man City have all taken a point from them over the past few
weeks, and this will be a harder game for them than the odds suggest.

Boro are hardly reliable, but the key to punting them looks to be going
in
when the odds are long, and to oppose them when they're short and, as
they
showed against Arsenal, a hard game like this looks sure to bring out the
best of them. In our First Goalscorer market, prolific scorer Yakubu
looks
a fair bet at 8/1, especially considering our Goalscorer Cashback Offer
(money back if he scores the last goal in the game instead). Once the
game
goes live, don't forget to check out our 14 Live In-play markets.

Live Game Picks:

Middlesbrough @ 7/2
Yakabu to score first @ 8/1

YOU CAN EARN YOUR SPURS AT 9/5
Arsenal are another team worth taking on right now, and the 9/5 available
on their arch rivals Tottenham is hard to resist. That price is probably
based on past form more than anything else, as it's been 12 games since
Spurs beat their London rivals, and that 2-1 win was their only win in 20
attempts going back nearly ten years! However, Spurs are playing the
better
football this season and, with home advantage, they can nick this.

The rest of the weekend games look trappy, but Man City can be backed
with
confidence at 5/6 to beat Aston Villa on Monday night. Their only blip at
home in the league this season was a loss to Bolton, but that was down to
a
last minute goal, and the Citizens have been rock solid in front of their
fans. Finally, Sunderland have been playing well enough of late to
warrant
a bet at 5/4 to beat Portsmouth, who haven't been that impressive on the
road this season.

PREMIERSHIP ACCUMULATOR OFFER
*****************************
Betting purists will say that you should stick to singles, but having a
weekend acca is one way of making a few quid from a relatively small
stake
- plus you're assured of getting some extra value with our Premiership
Accumulator Offer! Each week, we pay out up to 60% more on successful
accas
involving Premiership teams, and this week's four fancied teams pay out
£*** for a £25 stake, which includes a bet365 bonus of 5%.

Suggested Premiership Acca:

Middlesbrough; Tottenham; Man City and Sunderland - pays £1364.35 (£25

BACK GREY FOR A REPEAT AT 7/2
The jumpers take centre stage this weekend and the highlight is
undoubtedly
the bet365 Charlie Hall Chase from Wetherby (3.25). The race is building
up
into a cracking contest with several big names already confirmed as
definite runners, including last year's winner Grey Abbey who heads the
betting at 11/4 (opened 7/2). The eleven-year-old showed he can do well
fresh by taking this race last year before following up in the Pillar
Chase
at Cheltenham. That win saw him go off fancied for the Gold Cup in March,
and he wasn't disgraced in finishing 5th on ground that was probably too
lively for him. The recent rain will be very much in his favour, and he
looks the one to beat.

Of his rivals, there is a suspicion that Ollie Magern (4/1) would prefer
better ground, although his stable is in unstoppable form (seven winners
last weekend), while Kingscliff (3/1) is unlikely to run up to his best
on
his first run back this season. The race will be screened live on Channel
4, but don't worry if you can't get to the TV, as you can watch your
selections live here at bet365. Just bet £5 and click on the live stream
next to the race.

TERMS ARE FAVOURABLE AT 16/1
With massive fields in very soft ground likely at Newmarket on Saturday,
we
might be best looking for winners elsewhere, although anyone fortunate to
find a winner in any of the four televised races, at 4/1 or bigger, can
look forward to a free bet on the next live Channel 4 race. And the
evening's Breeders Cup meeting from Belmont Park offers us with some
excelling betting opportunities. British eyes will be on Ouija Board in
the
'Filly & Mare Turf' (7.35) after she bolted up in this race last year.
However, that was on the back of a career-best performance in the Arc,
and
she may be vulnerable this time, having not shown nearly the same sort of
form this season. Instead, we'll take a chance on Favourable Terms at a
generous bet365 price of 16/1. Her trainer, Michael Stoute, will be aware
of what's required to win this race having saddled Islington to collect
two
years ago.

The Mile (8.45) has been one of the happier hunting grounds for the
Europeans, but our challenge doesn't look as strong this year, and the
Yanks look to have it sewn up with Leroidesanimaux (Evens). However, if
he
ran below form, the most likely winner would be Artie Schiller (7/1), so
it
might be worth having a reverse exacta on him to run second to the
favourite. We have a stronger hand in the Turf, where Azamour and Bago
head
the market at 5/2 and 7/2 respectively, but preference is for Shirocco at
7/1, providing he gets the soft ground he loves. In the sprint, Lost In
The
Fog (11/10) will be hard to beat, but it's not worth taking short prices
in
a race like this, and you can get better odds by backing both Silver
Train
(10/1) and Lion Tamer (7/1) against him. In the Classic (10.35), Rock
Hard
Ten looks something to bet on at our industry best 7/2. His pari-mutual
odds on the night are likely to be much lower, a comment that applies to
the majority of the fancied US-trained runners. In the other races I like
the look of the dirt-bred Ivan Denisovich (take pari-mutual odds) in the
Juvenile (6.55), and Folklore (take 11/4) in the Juvenile Fillies (6.20).

As a course winner, K J Choi also merits serious consideration this week
at
a tasty 33/1 (35/1 EWO), especially as he'll be chasing a top-30 spot on
the US Money list which would qualify him for next week's Tour
Championship. Currently in 37th place, K J will be hopeful of a big
finish
on a course that has rewarded his strong iron play in the past, and he'll
be fresher than most having skipped a potential money earner last week.

Chrysler Championship Picks: Geoff Ogilvy @ 33/1; K J Choi @ 33/1 (both @

MONTY CAN BE MASTERS OF ALL AT 14/1

Sa Oct 29 - 12.30 BST (SS3)

The final event of the European Tour takes place at Valderrama this week
and, given his excellent record on the course (two wins and two seconds),
it's hard to see Colin Montgomerie being out of the frame. A good finish
will also secure Monty another Order of Merit title, for which he's
currently priced at 1/16. His only rival for the No.1 spot, Michael
Campbell (7/1), is currently £106,000 behind but, with over £450,000 up
for
grabs, it's still all to play for. As Monty loves a head to head battle,
the situation with Campbell should bring out the best in him, and he
looks
a great bet at 14/1 (15/1 EWO). If Monty doesn't win, then David Howell
(14/1) would have as good a claim as anyone, including our 13/2 favourite
Sergio Garcia, whose suspect putting could find him out again this week.
Howell has emerged as a top-class player in 2005 and deserves a big win
to
round off the season. Seven top-6 finishes in his last 11 starts make for
impressive reading, and he showed he can play the course by finishing 5th
last year.

Volvo Masters Picks: Colin Montgomerie @ 33/1; David Howell @ 14/1 (both
@
35/1 Enhanced Win Only)

For a change this week, I would recommend that you take the Enhanced Win
Only prices on this week's selections, then combine them in four each way
doubles. All four look rock-solid each way picks and the place double
will
at least cover our stake, while two winners would be very nice indeed!

Get in the game and be lucky!

GET IN THE GAME with NIGEL RIDGWAY of bet365
********************************************

NFL

WEEK 6 RECAP
COLTS KEEP THE WINNING CONNECTION
Each week, the Colts get shorter and shorter in the betting for the title.
That's not surprising considering their perfect start to the season, and
the form of some of their rivals, although few would have predicted their
shocking start against the Rams last Monday night. The 14-point underdogs
raced into a 17-0 lead, until losing QB Marc Bulger to a sprained shoulder
in the second quarter, after which it all went wrong. By coming from
behind, we saw another side to the Colts, who were dealing with adversity
for the first time this season, but shrugged it off with 31 consecutive
points in the second half. The result means the Super Bowl market is
strikingly similar to how it looked at the outset, with the top four sides
unchanged after six weeks of action.

Overall, it was a good week for favorites with nine winning and covering
the handicap. Seattle (-8.5) were the best-backed team of the weekend, and
they didn't let their supporters down, cruising to a 42-10 win over
Houston, resulting in their odds being clipped into 20/1. Pittsburgh (12/1
from 11/1) are struggling to cope with their injury troubles, and were the
biggest casualties going down 23-17 to an improved showing by Buffalo, who
now find themselves challenging for the AFC East lead. Dallas were also
clipped in the betting after their overtime win over the Giants (although
they can still be backed at an industry-best 28/1 with bet365), and they're
starting to look like genuine contenders for the title.

WEEK 7 PICKS
DENVER BRONCOS @ NY GIANTS
Su Oct 23 - 4:15 pm EST/20:15 GMT
After scoring just 10 points in their opening game at Miami, the Broncos
have turned it around, and can extend their winning streak to six when they
visit the New York Giants on Sunday. They also started last season 5-1 only
to stumble down the stretch, but they might do better this year, thanks to
the improved play of their QB, Jake Plummer. Plummer threw for 262 yards
and two touchdowns in Sunday's 28-20 victory over the Pats, and also
extended his streak without an interception to 17 games. Last week, the
Giants offence had its worst day of the season, committing five turnovers
and scoring their fewest points so far. They might struggle to get it going
again against a revamped Denver defensive line. We've got Denver listed as
1.5-point underdogs, with the total set at 47.

Pick 1: Denver (+1.5) @ 10/11

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS @ ST LOUIS RAMS
Su Oct 23 - 1:00 pm EST/17:00 GMT
The Saints have won their last three visits to the Edward Jones Dome, and
there are good reasons for thinking they can continue that run on Sunday.
Playing in their make-shift home in San Antonio last week, the Saints
forged a 31-31 tie with Atlanta in the fourth quarter and thought they were
heading for overtime, only to go down 34-31 to a last minute controversial
field goal. This was still a big improvement in form and, in particular, RB
Antowain Smith excelled against a tough Atlanta defense with an 880-yard,
two-touchdown performance. St Louis lost more than their third straight
game on Monday night to Indianapolis, with QB Marc Bulger expected to miss
the next three weeks at least, and that is bad news for the Rams. The
Saints are underdogs by a field goal, with the total at 47.

Pick 2: New Orleans (+3.0) @ 10/11

HOUSTON, NO PROBLEM - ASTROS TO WIN IN 7 @ 9/2
Sa Oct 22 - 7:30 pm EST (FOX)/23:30 GMT
On Saturday, the Chicago White Sox will host the Houston Astros for Game 1
in a best-of-seven World Series. This is Chicago's first appearance since
1959 and Houston's first . ever. In fact, both teams current ballparks have
had more names than pennant winners, with the latest being two of the worst
examples of corporate sponsorship in baseball - Minute Maid Park and US
Cellular Field!

Chicago, who hasn't won the title since 1917, is coming off the best
postseason performance by starting pitchers in nearly half a century, while
Houston became the first team since the 1914 Boston Braves to win a pennant
after falling 15 games under .500 during the regular season. Overall,
there's very little between the teams. As for a prediction we'll take the
Astros in Game 7 at 9/2 (+450), and take the under (7.0) in Game 1 at Evens
(+100). With two of the best rotations in the majors lining up, it's
conceivable that these teams combined could average no more than six or
seven runs per game. Once the game starts don't forget to check out our
live betting via our new 'In-Play Console'.

World Series Picks:

Astros to beat the White Sox @ 21/20 (+105)
Astros to win in Game 7 @ 9/2 (+450)
Game 1: Under 7 runs @ Evens (+100)

JOHNSON IN GOOD SHAPE AT 7/1
Su Oct 23 - 12:30 pm EST (NBC)/16:30 GMT
Only five races remain in the 'Chase for the Cup' and, with the standings
getting tighter, each race will feel like double points to the winner.
There's currently nothing between the top two drivers, Tony Stewart and
Jimmie Johnson, and both must be considered as likely winners this week's
Subway 500 at the half mile short track of Martinsville.

This week, Stewart is favorite to win at 9/2 (+450), with Johnson at 7/1
(+700). After threatening to run away from everyone in the chase, Stewart
came crashing back down last week (literally), to leave all ten drivers in
the chase within 142 points of the leader. As the victim of a tire failure
as the leader on lap 217, Stewart saw his 75-point lead evaporate to leave
him tied with Johnson atop the standings. After entering the chase on a
streak of 12 straight finishes of eight or better, he's posted two finishes
outside the top-15 in his last four races. You can look for a much better
run this week, but Johnson has experienced more success on the track in the
last four seasons, and is looking for his third win in five races. Entering
this race last year, Johnson was 227 points off the pace, but claimed his
second straight checkered flag, part of a furious late rally that brought
him to within eight points of eventual champion Kurt Busch. With momentum
again on his side this week, and the pressure very much on Stewart, Johnson
looks the one to be on this week.

Subway 500 Pick: Jimmie Johnson @ 7/1

OGILVY IS MAGIC AT 33/1

Sa Oct 22 - 4:00 pm EST (ESPN)/20:00 GMT
Su Oct 23 - 3:00 pm EST (ABC)/19:00 GMT
In the States we've got another pro-am with the Funai Classic at the Walt
Disney resort in Florida. With scores again likely to be low on the
wide-open Magnolia resort course, there's a danger that we'll see another
long-priced winner like last week's 500/1 no-hoper Wes Short (7/4 before
the Playoff against Jim Furyk). However, for this year's event, the course
has been lengthened to make it one of the five longest on the Tour, which
should at least help to sort the men from the boys, and that makes our
price of 50/1 on Geoff Ogilvy even more tempting. This long straight driver
has already shown what it takes to play well here by finishing in the
top-10 for the last two years, and was in contention going into the final
round of last week's pro-am. Although he faltered to finish 16th, that was
just one of many high finishes on the Tour this year, including a fifth in
the Open and a sixth in the USPGA. As he's currently 37th on the Money
List, another good week could see him jump into the top-30, which ensures
qualification for the season-ending Tour Championship.

There are no such money worries for Tiger Woods who tees up this week not
far from his Orlando home, and in a State where he's won seven times
(average finish 7.4). However, he has been beaten in the last four
'Disneys' and, even at the Enhanced Win Only odds of 5/2, I would prefer to
be taking longer prices this week. And, they don't come much bigger than
Scott Gutschewski at a standout 150/1. Three starlight top-20's, giving him
five in the season, have taken him to 148th on the Money List, and he too
will be hoping for a big check to break into the top-125 and land his 2006
PGA Tour card. If his current form was not reason enough to back him, a
quick look at his stats - 4th in total driving distance at over 310 yards!
- makes his price even harder to fathom.

Another outsider who looks over-priced is Joey Sindelar, again at a bet365
standout price of 100/1. Joey plays some of his best golf here with five
top-20's since 1990, including 4th last year. And, more to the point, this
year has been his best for ages, with three top-10s and five top-20s from
his last eight starts, which strongly suggests he'll be thereabouts again
this week. Don't forget, once the first round gets under way, we'll have
live betting via our 'In-Play Console', which also includes prices on the
current Round Leader.

Nigel's Funai Classic Three Off The Tee: Geoff Ogilvy @ 33/1; Joey Sindelar

NFL
***
WEEK 5 RECAP
IMPOSING COLTS 9/4 FOR SUPER BOWL
Indianapolis has hardened in the Super Bowl betting to 9/4 after beating
San Francisco 28-3. When the best team in the NFL play the worst, play is
bound to be one-sided, but it was still an imposing performance by the
Colts, and one rightly predicted by the many bet365 customers who bet the
14.5-point line (moved to 15.5 at kick-off). After five weeks, they are the
only team that has not lost a game, having allowed only 29 points in that
time. Since 1970, only two teams have done better (Atlanta in 1977, and
Baltimore in 1971), and it would be a brave man to bet against that trend
continuing this week. In fact, we’ve already seen plenty of interest in the
Colts for their Monday night game against the Rams at the opening 13 (now
14), and that line is sure to move again nearer kick-off (Live In-Play
betting available).

New England was also well-supported last week at -2.5 (opened at +2.5),
after the Falcons QB Michael Vick was ruled out. They duly won 31-28, which
was also good news for the bet365 customers who teased the Falcons a point
to 3.5. The Pats remain at 7/1 for the title, but Philadelphia slid out to
the same price after flopping as three-point favorites at home to Dallas
(40/1 from 80/1). Other losing favorites were Houston (-3.0) and Tampa Bay
(-3.0), while Cincinnati (16/1 to 20/1) showed that they had benefited from
an easy schedule when losing their unbeaten tag to Jacksonville.

WEEK 6 PICKS
NEW YORK JETS @ BUFFALO BILLS
Live In-Play betting – Su Oct 16 – 4:15 pm EST/20:15 GMT
Last week’s pick, New York (+3.0), did us proud by beating Tampa Bay 14-12
on the road, and they again look something to bet on this week getting
three points from the Bills. After weeks of instability, the Jets turned to
veteran QB Vinny Testaverde last week, and he provided some much-needed
inspiration in offence, finishing 13-of-19 for 163 yards with an
interception. Meanwhile, their defense continued its recent strong play by
holding the Buccaneers to just four field goals. Despite the win over Miami
last week, Buffalo have yet to score a second-half touchdown, getting
limited to three field goals in five games, while their defense is having
trouble stopping the run. All in all, this makes the Jets worthy underdogs
this week.

Pick 1: New York (+3.0) @ 10/11

WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
Su Oct 16 – 1:00 pm EST/17:00 GMT
Last week’s ‘under’ pick Miami @ Buffalo, fell right on the number (34
points), but this game should have no trouble staying below the 43 points.
Washington boasts one of the most underrated defensive units in the NFL,
and they will be well prepared for the Chiefs after facing the Broncos and
Seahawks over the past two weeks. Denver and Kansas City are actually quite
similar offensively, and the Skins limited the Broncos to just 21 points
last week. Their offence is less effective, scoring 20 points or less in
each of the first four games, and that’s unlikely to change here. The
Kansas defense may have taken a battering in their last game against the
vaunted Eagles offence but, before that, it had looked much improved from
last year. In fact, the ‘under’ is 3-1 in City’s first four games.

PICK 2: Washington Redskins @ Kansas City Chiefs - UNDER 43.0 POINTS @
10/11

A $50 parlay on the above two games pays out $191.34 - which includes a
bet365 bonus of 5%

NASCAR
******
STEWART LOOKS QUALITY BET AT 7/1
Sa Oct 15 – 7:00 pm EST (NBC)/23:00 GMT
As expected the Roush Racing cars dominated last week’s race in Kansas,
with a clean sweep of the top three spots, lead by race leader Mark Martin.
This week’s UAW-GM Quality 500 race is from the NASCAR capital, Charlotte,
NC, where most of the teams have their headquarters (Live betting available
via our new In-Play Console’).

While Roush Racing continues to be the team to beat at the ‘cookie cutter’
tracks, the Hendrick team has dominated at the Lowe’s Motor Speedway in
recent seasons. In particular, Jimmie Johnson (our 4/1 favorite this week),
who has won four of the last five in Charlotte including the last three in
a row. That dominance was confirmed in a recent test session on the track,
when the Hendrick team was led home by Kyle Busch (14/1), who recorded the
second fastest recorded lap time. The information gleaned from that
session, combined with their existing knowledge of the track, will make all
of them contenders again this week, including Jeff Gordon, who could be
over-priced at 16/1.

However, the driver with the fastest time during the recent test session
was Tony Stewart and, as the last driver other than Johnson to win a points
race at Charlotte, he could be something to bet on this week at a tasty
7/1. Stewart continues to drive well, and was the only non-Roush driver in
the top five last week. He leads the Nextel Cup standings by 75 points over
Ryan Newman, and this is definitely a track where he can widen that gap
some more. He would love to win here for his main sponsor, Home Depot, the
main competitor of the track’s sponsor, Lowe’s chain of improvement stores.
There’s nothing more satisfying than winning a competitor’s sponsored race,
or in this case, on their track. So, don’t expect Stewart to drive for just
a points finish this week.

UAW-GM Quality 500 Pick: Tony Stewart @ 7/1

bet365 latest UAW-GM Quality 500 prices…Jimmie Johnson 4/1, Tony Stewart

Fr Oct 14 – 4:00 pm EST (USA)
Sa Oct 15 – 3:00 pm EST (USA)
Su Oct 16 – 3:00 pm EST (ABC)
Last week’s pick, Sergio Garcia (3rd at 25/1), would have won if he’s sunk
a few more putts and, with scoring bound to be low at this week’s Michelin
Championship on the wide-open resort courses, this week’s winner is likely
to a player with a hot flat stick. Another key to success this week will be
patience, with four balls including two amateurs expected to produce rounds
in excess of 6 hours. As one of the slowest players on Tour, that will suit
Ben Crane down to the ground, and at a standout bet365 price of 33/1 (35/1
Enhanced Win Only Odds) he must enter calculations this week. That price
looks even more attractive when you factor in his two top-20’s here in the
past three years, and the fact that he’s shown promise in pro-ams before.

The more ‘relaxed’ style of golf this week should also suit the personality
of Shigeki Maruyama, who has no course form to speak of (he’s rarely played
here), but who comes into this week in great nick. Last week’s opening 74
was his worst round in his last 16, during which period he’s posted ten
rounds in the 60’s to stand at 33 under par! That form should come as no
surprise as his three October events last year yielded finishes of 16th,
19th and 2nd (1st and 3rd in 2003). As he’s currently 35th on the Money
List, he’ll be keen to play himself into the top-30 this week to guarantee
entry into the season-closing Tour championship and, in his current form,
he looks a great each-way bet at 33/1 this week.

Another player to catch the eye this week is Carl Pettersson. Like
Maruyama, Pettersson is a late season performer, having finished in the
top-10 in no less than four of the five events to end in October last year.
He was also fourth in last month’s Deutsche Bank Championship against a
much stronger field than this, where he held the lead after 54 holes. As
one of the finest putters on Tour, he could well go low this week, and
looks worth an interest at a tasty 66/1. Don’t forget, once the first round
gets under way, we’ll have live betting via our ‘In-Play Console’, which
also includes prices on the current Round Leader.

Nigel’s Michelin Championship Three Off The Tee: Ben Crane 33/1; Shegeki

bet365 - Get In The Game *UK Version*

FOOTBALL
********
OPPOSE REDS AT A TASTY 5/1
After the double dose of internationals this week, there could be some
value in opposing the teams stuffed with returnees this weekend, and, in
particular, Liverpool should be opposed against Blackburn. Liverpool are
unattractive favourites at 8/13, while Blackburn's price of 5/1 could be a
shade on the generous side. Blackburn are on a high right now, coming off
their win at old Trafford, while Liverpool come into this off a run of
three draws and a defeat. So, a result for Rovers is more is more likely
than the odds suggest. They can also be supported (with even more
confidence) on the Asian Handicap at 2.00, where they receive a
three-quarter goal start.

MACKEMS GREAT VALUE AT 11/2
United could also be vulnerable this weekend against Sunderland, especially
now the Mackems have got the monkey off their back with a 2-0 win at
Middlesbrough. Since securing their first Premiership win in 27 games,
they've gone three games unbeaten and could be over-priced at 11/2 to win
their first home game of the season. Again, they look more worthy of
support on our Asian Handicap at 1.875 (+ 1 goal), which consistently
offers bettors great value. At the same time Stephen Elliot (a recent
scorer for Ireland) looks a fair bet at 9/1 to open the scoring, especially
considering we'll give you your money back if he scores the last goal in
the game instead.

VISITORS CAN HAMMER OUT RESULT AT 3/1
Su Oct 16 - 4:00 pm ko (SS1)
For the same reasons as the above, there would have been grounds for
opposing Arsenal (v West Brom) and Chelsea (v Bolton) this weekend, if only
their opponents were more convincing. Instead, we'll lump on West Ham at
3/1 to get a result at the City of Manchester Stadium. After a bright
start, the Citizens have come back down to earth recently with a defeat at
home to Bolton, an early exit in the Carling Cup at the hands of Doncaster,
and a loss against Newcastle. On the other hand, a particular good run of
results away from home has made pre-season odds on relegation quotes for
the Hammers look silly, and they'll be hard to beat again this Sunday (Live
'In-Play' betting available on up to 14 markets).

In other games this weekend, Wigan, whose form looks far more convincing
than Newcastle's, look worthy of support at 8/5, while Tottenham are good
things at 8/13 to beat Everton. A £10 acca on our five fancies this weekend
pays out £6552, which includes a bet365 bonus of 10%. Good luck.

HORSE RACING
************
REVO TO BE CES KING AT 14/1
Saturday is Champions Day at Newmarket, and one of the betting highlights
is the Cesarewitch Handicap (3.10), the second leg of the Autumn Double. As
crazy as it might sound, the draw often plays a part in this 2m 2f
marathon, with a definite bias towards a middle to high berth. In the past
ten years, stall 17 and higher has provided eight winners and 26 placed
horses, but in the hope of getting a decent draw (anything in double
figures will do), we'll be pinning our hopes on the potentially
well-handicapped King Revo.

If I had to pick one horse guaranteed to make the frame, then it would be
Pat Haslam's charge, who has already looked unfortunate not to win a couple
of major handicaps this term. Those runs could be in his favour now, as he
looks nicely weighted off a mark of just 85 (141 over hurdles). At York in
June, he met with all sorts of trouble when eighth in the Ascot Stakes,
while he had to overcome the widest draw before finishing fourth in the
Chester Cup, so there's definitely a big flat handicap in him. A recent run
at Haydock should have put him spot on for this and, with the yard in good
form, he looks a great each-way bet at the current 14/1.

Cesarewitch Pick: King Revo at 14/1

O'BRIEN HAS NO PEERS AT ½
The destiny of the UK Flat trainers title could be decided this weekend,
with Aidan O'Brien the strong favourite at 1/2 to wrestle back the crown he
last held in 2001. O'Brien holds all the aces in the two-year-old
department with no less than eight entries in the Dewhurst Stakes (2.35),
while he also supplies the 11/4 antepost favourite for the Champion Stakes
in the shape of Oratorio (3.10). The latter looks to have a great chance of
adding to his wins in the Eclipse and the Irish equivalent of this race.

Michael Stoute, O'Brien's nearest challenger for the title at 6/4, has
chances too in the shape of Peeress, who drops back in class for the
Challenge Stakes (2.05), and Short Skirt, who hosed up on her only start to
date, and looks well worth the step up in class in the Rockfel Stakes
(4.25). However, with a further 13 entries in next week's Racing Post
Trophy (Stoute has none), O'Brien looks nailed on for the title. With all
four of the above races to be shown live on Channel 4, bet365 customers can
take advantage of our fantastic Channel 4 Offer. Back a winner at 4/1, or
bigger, and we'll give you a free bet (up to £50) on the next live race on

NFL
***
WEEK 4 RECAP
NEW ENGLAND OUT TO 7/1 FOR TITLE
Champions New England are suddenly looking vulnerable as San Diego handed
them a 24-point beating, their first home defeat in 22 games on Sunday. For
once, Bill Bellichick’s injury-ravaged side did not produce a miracle, and
it’s probably right to assume that they’re not the dominant force that they
were (7/1 from 11/2 for the Super Bowl). This was no surprise though to the
many bet365 customers who called this right by backing the Chargers at
+5.5.

However, the Colts were again the best backed side of the week, and they
didn’t let their supporters down as their offence finally clicked into gear
to beat Tennessee 31-10 - the defense performing well again when only
allowing a TD late in the fourth quarter. They look the strongest outfit in
the NFL right now, and deserved title favorites at 10/3 (from 4/1).
Cincinnati also continued their perfect 4-0 start, although they failed to
cover the 10-point line, and are now in to 16/1.

WEEK 5 PICKS
TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ NEW YORK JETS
Su Oct 9 – 1:00 pm EST/17:00 GMT
The early betting move in this game has been for Tampa giving up a 3-point
start (5-6 from 10/11). However, the Bucs have failed to cover the point
spread in both of their last two games. Last week, Jon Gruden’s club got a
mystifying instant replay reversal to win the game against the hapless
Lions, while in Week 3 The Bucs finished +3 in turnovers against the
Packers at Green Bay, but still couldn’t cover as a road favorite, when 92%
of NFL teams with a +3 turnover margin cover the point spread. The 1-3 Jets
may be in desperation mode but their defense is till a top-notch unit, and
that could be the difference maker in this must win game, making them a
worthy underdog to bet on

PICK 1: New York Jets (+3.0)

MIAMI DOLPHINS @ BUFFALO BILLS
Su Oct 9 – 1:00 pm EST/17:00 GMT
Buffalo’s paltry offence was once supported by a mean defense but they now
have a real problem stopping the run, while QB JP Losman was hauled off in
Sunday’s loss to New Orleans. Miami aren’t much better, but they have
upgraded their run defense this term, holding Denver, the Jets, and
Carolina to just 2.9 yards per carry, while the experienced QB Gus Frerotte
has steadied the ship. bet635 customers have already cashed in twice this
season backing the Bills with the ‘under’, and this looks another game sure
to stay below the number.

PICK 2: Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills - UNDER 34.0 POINTS @ 10/11

Both last week’s ’under’ picks (Indianapolis @ Tennessee & Denver @
Jacksonville) came in, with a $50 parlay paying out $191.34, which includes
a 5% bet365 bonus - hope you were on!

$730.59 - which includes a bet365 bonus of 10%

NASCAR
*******
BANQUET 400 – FEAST ON STEWART AT 6/1
Su Oct 9 – 1:30 pm EST (NBC)/17:30 GMT
With seven races to go in the chase for the Nextel Cup Championship, this
week’s race takes us to Kansas Speedway. As one of NASCAR's newest
‘cookie-cutter’ tracks there's really not a lot to say about it, except
it’s very much like the other short tracks in Las Vegas, Charlotte and
Texas, to name but three. NASCAR defines a short track as any track less
than one mile in length, and fans know that short track racing is defined
by bumping and banging, short tempers and fast action.

So, with Kansas very much in the cookie cutter mould, it’s a safe
assumption that the drivers to beat this week will be Greg Biffle and Kurt
Busch, who come from the same garage of Roush Racing. However, there are a
couple of drivers who can be expected to give the Roush drivers some
competition. Prior to last season, the best average finish on the track was
Ryan Newman (7/1) who had two 2nd’s and a win, then fell all the way to
33rd in last seasons race. Newman is sitting second in points right now,
only four behind leader Tony Stewart and, if the time was ever right for
Newman to show his old self at Kansas, it is now. The cookie cutters have
always been good to Newman and you can expect a top-5 from him.

Tony Stewart (6/1) has only one top-5 finish at Kansas over his four races
run there. However, this is an entirely different team now and past results
can go out the window. He’s in a zone right now and has the championship
within sight. The chassis Stewart will be using is likely to be Stewart’s
favorite of all time because it gave him the win at Indianapolis this year.
The same car also ran strong at Michigan and California this season where
it lead multiple laps. Because of Stewart leading the chase, hungrier than
ever, and the pedigree of the car, he’s going to be hard to beat this week.

For those of you looking for an each way bet, then Rusty Wallace (16/1)
could go well this week. In his final season on the circuit, the
49-year-old is third in the standings, 76 points off the pace, and will be
making his 700th career start. Last week’s 25th place was his third worst
result of the season, but he’d run sixth in the opener of the Chase, and
was third the following week in Dover. The fact that he started his career
just down the road in Missouri will make his 700th start a special one and,
for that reason alone, he’s likely to be giving it his best shot here.

Banquet 400 Picks: Ryan Newman @ 7/1; Tony Stewart @ 6/1; Rusty Wallace @
16/1

GOLF
****
AMEX CHAMPIONSHIP - TOMS A MAJOR BET AT 50/1
Th Oct 6 – 2:00 pm EST (ESPN)/18:00 GMT
Fr Oct 7 – 2:00 pm EST (ESPN)/18:00 GMT
Sa Oct 8 – 1:00 pm EST (ABC)/17:00 GMT
Su Oct 9 – 1:30 pm EST (ABC)/17:30 GMT
Tiger’s record in the AmEx Championship is second to none, reading
1-5-1-1-9 over the last five years, which almost makes him an automatic
pick this week. However, he didn’t look at all healthy the last time we saw
him in on the golf course and, at just 11/4 in a top-class field, we’ll
swerve him for betting purposes this week. Of course, he’s had ten days to
get over the rib injury which seemed to cost him victory in his Presidents
Cup singles match but, when you also factor in his poor record on par-70
courses, there are just too many doubts to get involved this week. He’ll
still have plenty of supporters at 14/5 in the ‘Enhanced Win Only’
market.

Instead, we’ll have a few quid on David Toms at a potentially massive 50/1.
That price probably takes into account his recent health scare, which
caused him to be carried off the course with chest pains during the Lumber
Classic. However, he’s played (well) since, and would only be lining up if
he was 100% fit again. With the rough this week having been allowed to grow
and the fairways substantially narrowed as a result, his straight driving
will be an asset, while he’s also made the frame in two of the last three
AmExs. That may be irrelevant on a new course this week, but it at least
shows he’s a player who plays well at this time of year. He’s also 16/1 in
our ‘Top American Without Woods’ market, where Phil Mickelson is 5/1
favorite.

American golf is on a high right now after their success in the Presidents
Cup, but there’ll be plenty of Europeans hoping to spoil the party this
week. Padraig Harrington (50/1), whose best 2005 form (two victories) has
come in the States, must play well, along with last week’s Dunhill winner
Monty (66/1), but Sergio Garcia (22/1) has the best record in this event
with four top-tens from five appearances. He’s another player whose
accurate driving will stand him in good stead this week, and warmed up
nicely for this with a top-15 effort in the Chrysler Classic. Instead of an
each way bet we’ll take the 25/1 enhanced win odds, and have a ’saver’ on
him at 4/1 in the ‘Top European’ market.

The final pick goes to the massively in-form Olin Browne, at an equally
massive bet365 price of 125/1. He may be a first-timer in this event but,
with a win and a second in his last four starts (six of his last nine in
the top-25), he’s hard to resist at those odds. His familiarity with the
PGA Tour should give him an advantage over many international competitors.
As with all US Tour events, we’ll have live betting, via our new ‘In-Play
Console‘, right up to the final putt on Sunday.
Nigel’s AmEx Championship Three Off The Tee: Sergio Garcia @ 25/1 (Enhanced
Odds); Davis Toms @ 50/1; Olin Browne @ 125/1 (Each-way ¼ odds
1.2.3.4.5.)

NHL
***
MAKE BUCKS FROM THE PUCKS
The puck finally dropped on the 2005 NHL season on Wednesday, with some new
rule changes in place. Perhaps the most significant change is the
introduction of the shootout. Games that remain tied after a five-minute
overtime period will now be settled in a shootout in which three players
from each side will take turns taking penalty shots. To take this into
account bet365 will now be offering a 1 ½–goal puckline, similar to the 1
½-run baseline (or runline) used in MLB wagering.

With the new scoring system in place it’s difficult to say which teams will
thrive in this new era of high scoring, but look for the more skilled teams
that struggled in the past, when defense ruled, to rise to the top. Teams
like Detroit, Dallas, and Colorado are all likely to be over priced in the
early stages. If your looking for a futures bet, we’ve got Stanley Cup
odds on site, with the Philadelphia Flyers favored at 6/1.

bet365 Stanley Cup prices...Philadelphia 6/1, Detroit, Ottawa 9/1, Boston
10/1, Calgary, Pittsburgh 12/1, Vancouver 14/1, others on bet365 website.

Get in the game and be lucky!

FOOTBALL
********
ENGLAND v AUSTRIA
Sa Oct 8 - 4:00 pm ko (BBC)
With England at prohibitive odds of 2/9 for a game that they should (must)
win, the correct play could be in the goals markets. In the hope that we
won't see Sven experimenting this time, we can expect a few goals from the
anticipated Crouch / Owen combo up front (1/2 that they play up front
together), which brought Owen a hat-trick against Colombia in the summer.
The Austrians are in disarray, with only Azerbaijan and Wales having failed
to score against them in qualifying, while even Scotland managed to breach
their defence in a recent friendly, so a bet on over 2.5 goals looks best
here. At the same time, Michael Owen looks a fair bet at 7/2 to open the
scoring, especially considering we'll give you your money back if he scores
the last goals in the game instead. Once the game kicks off, don't forget
to check out our 14 live In-Play markets via the new 'In-Play Console.'

NORTHERN IRELAND v WALES
Live betting - Sa Oct 8 - 3:00 pm ko (BBC1 - NI/ BBC2 - Wales)
Wales are winless in 14 competitive games and will be desperate to get
something out of their World Cup campaign. However, they may have to have
to wait until their final game against Azerbaijan to restore some Welsh
pride, as the Irish look well up to the task. Their recent 1-0 win over
England was no fluke, while they deserved their draw in Cardiff too, and
this well organised side should be backed at 8/5 to follow up. Live betting
available.

SCOTLAND V BELARUS
Sa Oct 8 - 3:00 pm ko (SS1)
With four teams scrapping it out for second spot in the group, this is a
must win game for both teams. It's three points or out, so we're unlikely
to see a repeat of the stalemate between the sides back in June. On their
recent form, Scotland are more than entitled to win this but, from a
punting perspective, the odds of 8/15 are not great. Instead, we'll back
the value option by playing the correct score market. Scotland's four home
games so far have produced five goals, so we'll split stakes on a 1-0 or
2-0 win, at 5/1 and 11/2 respectively. Bet Live In-Play on this match.

Weekend International Picks:

England v Austria - 'Over' 2.5 goals @ 6/5 / Michael Owen to score first @
7/2
Northern Ireland to beat Wales @ 8/5
Scotland to beat Belarus 1-0 or 2-0 @ 5/1 / 11/2

HORSE RACING
************
URSIS THROWN IN AT WEIGHTS
After the excitement of Arc and Cambridgeshire weekend, the jumps season
cranks up a gear this weekend with a cracking Chepstow card (live on BBC),
where Ursis is fancied to take advantage of a potentially lenient handicap
mark (2.25). Winner of two of his four starts in France (close up in the
other two), the Jonjo O'Neil-trained gelding made a big impression on his
British debut over hurdles, cruising home by 5 lengths at Wetherby. The
bare form of that win doesn't amount to much but, given his high rating on
the flat, he could be 'thrown in' at the weights on Saturday. As always, it
pays to watch the market, and a move for the Gary Moore-trained Nation
State in the same race should be noted. He was one of the better juvenile
hurdlers last season, and had a nice pipe-opener on the flat recently,
which makes him the main danger to the selection.

FANCY A CLASSIC ENCOUNTER
The best bet on the televised Salisbury card looks to be the speedy Classic
Encounter (2.15). He has been lightly raced, having run just three times,
but the form of his races has been working out well. On his most recent
start in the Norfolk Stakes he split Strike Up The Band and Ajigolo, who
have both gone on to Group race success since so, with a little more
improvement expected, he can get back in the winner's circle.

bet365 customers can also watch this race via our new 'Bet & Watch'
service, which allows you to watch EVERY race in the UK and Ireland live.
Just bet £5 with us to take advantage of this service - why bet anywhere
else!

IRIS'S A CHANNEL 4 GIFT
Iris's Gift should be another winner for Jonjo O'Neil in the novice chase
at Bangor (4.00), one of the highlights of the Channel 4 televised card.
He's not the betting highlight though, as he's likely to be at short odds
to follow up his recent Market Rasen win. Better odds should be obtained by
backing Russian Gigolo, in the handicap chase (3.25). The Nigel
Twiston-Davies-trained runner always seems to run well on the course (form
figures '321'). However, the best bet Channel 4 could be the classy Barry
Hills-trained Spinning Queen (York, 2.10), who looks something to bet on
now that she's dropping back to a suitable trip (6f).

With six live races from York and Bangor this Saturday, bet365 customers
can take advantage of our fantastic Channel 4 Offer. Back a winner at 4/1,
or bigger, and we'll give you a free bet (up to £50) on the next live
Channel 4 race. Many of our customers who were clever enough to back the
Cambridgeshire winner, Blue Monday (11/2), did just that last week.
