That ODDSCHECKER thing,

[Canada Bob]

Just back from the pub so I had a look if anything was being flagged up on...

Oddschecker: Football Steamers.

Near top of the STEAMERS is Braintree FC, who the **** are Braintree FC, well now I know since I nipped round to their web site and their Fan Forum to find they are 4th in the Blue Square South League, vying for the play offs and in form at the moment add to that they are playing at home it's so far so good, but it gets better

I then nips round to see who their opponents St Albans are, they are in the lower half of the division, weren't a bad team for much of the season until the money ran out in the last few weeks. Since they couldn't pay the wages, players have been leaving in droves, to the point that according to their web site and their fans forum and the local paper {yaft to do yer homework, money don't fall out of the trees}, it seems that St Albans will be down to fielding their Youth Team {think 15 year olds etc}.

Good News on both side there hey, {no wonder it's showing up in the STEAMERS 2 days BEFORE the kick off}, so I checks what the odds are on ODDSCHECKER to find that Corals are still offering 8/13 the best odds in the land, all the other Bookies have dropped the odds down to 8/15 or less, so...

I nips round to Corals web site to get me money on, waiting for a race being run to slip in under the radar, then as that's going on I start to put me money on, until I got this message...

16:11:59 BST. Can't Proceed. Bet Refused.

But not before I'd managed to get this lot on :023:

Other than that {while I was in the pub watching the horse racing} I heard them mention that What a Friend {owned by the pillock} Fergie was running in the 3:10 at Aintree, and there large as life the chewing gum munching r sole was, grinning away. No way was I going to let him win, not bowt some benefit to me, so I phoned Corals and put the bet below on...

The ODDSCHECKER STEAMERS flagged a decent winner today, Goliath's Boy in the 4:35 at Musselburgh, and obscure horse running at a quiet meeting, it was top of the steamers list early one. I had a good look at it and was tempted, but after getting screwed by Fulham I didn't have the nerve to throw a grand at it, it led most if not all the way and went in at 5/2.

I don't know anything better to find winners from, horses or football than the steamers list, but you have to learn how to use it, it's not just a matter of backing the top rated one every day, if it's Denman then there's no mystery as to why it's top of the list, but if it's some unknown horse like Goliath's Boy or Braintree FC it's a nod in the right direction.

I hope that's a sign of the tide turning...
