No bets for me today. Yesterday's selections at Hamilton finished third and fourth. Bognor was backed from 8/1 taken to 5/1 but was out of the money. Tectonic snatched third place from the latter and was returned 14/1. Thus BOG kicked in and the return on the race was 5.7 points from six points staked so no damaged done.
It's the fag end of the football season as far as my domestic bets are concerned. The chances of any returns are encapsulated in one of today's fixtures: Tottenham v Hull. I had high hopes for Tottenham finishing in the top four with Harry Kane on fire. With two matches to go the north London side are struggling and Harry can no longer score it seems. Top four aspirations are long gone and we are relying on Harry hanging on to second place in the goal scorer charts for an ew return (16/1 ew 1/3 odds 1,2). This would seem to be dependant on whether Costa plays again for Chelsea this season. He is only one goal (19 so far) behind the youngster. Austin is on 17, so would need a minimum of three in QPR's two remaining games, whereas Sanchez (16), has three more opportunities for Arsenal to bridge the gap including what seem comparatively easy home fixtures against strugglers West Brom and Sunderland.
Hull (7/2) was a relegation pick based on the difficulty of their run-in with ten matches to play. One of those difficult fixtures was Liverpool, who they beat and one of the few "easy" games was Burnley to whom they lost at home. Despite the Liverpool triumph they are odds-on to fill the remaining relegation spot. I would not enjoy the irony of a Hull win at White Heart Lane and a blank day for Harry!
All of the above would be forgotten if Juve could somehow beat Barcelona in Berlin on 6 June!
