Well Day One went well didn't it? Here's hoping it continues and I can put a little extra in your pocket for Christmas! Today's focus is golf, with tournaments in South Africa and the US, and another snooker bet.
10.10 Cabrera win 3-ball 6/4 (LOST +2.68 Didn't cope with the wind in a round where noone broke 70!)
Cabrera is a regular early season performer and the bookies give more credit to Retief Goosen because the tournament is in South Africa than he deserves. John Bickerton is no better than steady so Cabrera is a good price.
1.30 Marco Fu bt Mark Selby 6/5 (LOST 9-7 +1.68 - Looked solid in first session then Selby got away, and couldn't quite reel him in)
Selby has been solid so far, but Fu has been flying and I can't see that changing here.
5.50 Couples bt Wetterich 11/8 (LOST by 1 shot +0.68 - second chance at this tomorrow)
Freddy has won round this course several times before and seems to have overcome his back problems for now. Dont miss out!
6.00 Harrington bt Singh 6/5 (WON by 1 shot +1.88)
Pod is truly up there now, while Vijay is slipping the other way.
6.30 Woods bt Stricker 1/2 (WON by 3 shots +2.38 - despite a double bogey at the last!)
Its Tiger's tournament, he wouldn't get beat would he?

Racing, Snooker and Football
For a while I've been punting myself and passing on a few tips to mates. They've always seemed impressed, so I thought it was time to go global and see what people think. So here's Day 1 - I bet its a stinker now! Prices are best available at time of posting, and I'll be keeping a running return to a £1 stake
1.10 Leicester - Earlsfield Raider 7/4 (WON +1.75)
He's the best horse in the race and he won over course and distance 10 days ago
1.40 Leicester - Castlecrossings 5/2 (2nd +0.75 - Well done if you got brave and took the reverse forecast with Overbranch!)
Looks like a match between the selection and Overbranch, but the former's form on heavy and the fact his jockey has ridden him before as opposed to Overbranch's means he has to be the favoured horse.
3.10 Ellway Prospect 7/2 (3rd -0.25 - Strange run to be filed under 'not straightforward')
Both AP and Oliver Sherwood have cracking records at Leicester, so teaming up here they have to be backed
2.00 Maguire to beat Williams 8/15 (WON 9-5 +0.28)
Mark Williams came back from 3-5 to win 9-5 last night but Stephen Maguire will be a different prospect, and he's my tip for the tournament.
2.00 Murphy bt Junhui 5/4 (WON 9-7 +1.53)
Junhui made heavy weather early on of Nigel Bond but went from 5-5 to 9-5. Murphy however has cruised through in sublime form and is too good a price to be missed.
7.45 Lyon Draw No Bet v Rangers 8/13 (WON 3-0 +2.15)
Rangers started well, but did they exceed expectations? Lyon are a class act and have slowly warmed up in Europe. Rangers only need a point, but I think thats the best they can hope for.
7.45 Sporting bt Kiev 8/13 (WON 3-0 +2.77)
This was a tough group but Kiev have conceded 16 goals in 5 games, 12 in last 3 and lost at home to Sporting. Seems obvious
7.45 Seville bt Slavia Prague 10/11 (WON 3-0 +3.68)
After a lacklustre opening game at Arsenal, Seville have found their form of last season and won all four games. They will want to win to finish top of the group, and I expect them to.
