First of all a very poor result at Ascot. Really thought I had read the race well but was nowhere near being on the right lines. Add the Euro song nonsense and that's five points lost.
In the Madrid tennis it proved the right thing to do to effectively get out of the Ferrer bet. Despite the Nishikori injury time-outs he somehow managed to come through the match in three long sets. Ferrer saved nine match points before the Japanese player finally prevailed. There is an 8.4 point return on the match bet so with total stakes being seven points (including the outright wagers) we finish on the right side at plus 1.4 points.
The play-off football results are far more encouraging! It started unpromisingly on Thursday with Derby winning 2-1 at Brighton. Then things got a lot better:
Wigan 0-0 Q.P.R - winner 23/10
P'Boro 1-1 L'Orient - winner 12/5
Preston 1-1 Rotherham - winner 12/5
York p-p Fleetwood - match postponed (waterlogged)
Burton v Southend - playing Sunday 12:00 noon
We staked eight points in total on the football multiple. The winning treble pays 15.25 points. My understanding of Coral online rules is that the York match would have to be played by Monday evening for bets on it to stand. That seems unlikely. If it is played at a later date then the York fixture will be treated as a non-runner. That would push up the total return on the bet to 28.85 points and thus a 20 point profit. And that, of course, doesn't include the possibility of the Burton match finishing all-square on Sunday.........
