Grahams much better for Group Betting

Got an email from Sean Graham  this week which gave the PG interesting reading on the group betting for the World Cup, which gets under way next Friday.

If you back all the favourites to win their group and put a tenner on then you win £398.81 – that’s over £100 more than you win with William Hill and £87 more than you would win with Boyles.
Ladbrokes come in nearly £72 shy of Grahams total while Paddy Powers are the closest to Grahams, coming in £60 shy. Grahams  have a 5% bonus added to all group winning trebles and after reading this let’s hope the other four bookmakers start changing prices to compete with Sean Grahams who are way out in the front of their rivals when it comes to the group betting for South Africa. It pays to shop around for the best prices.
Check out our 20-page World Cup preview next week as the PG gets out its crystal ball for South Africa.



Bet of the Week



Ladbrokes took a Bank Holiday beating  on Monday from Lagmore punter Desy McCullough. 
Desy placed a £20 treble on Monday morning before heading off to Newcastle for the day and didn’t know he had won until Tuesday morning.
While he was enjoying the sun and eating ice-cream, his treble was going rather well. Crown Prosecutor got the bet off to a flyer under Kieran Fallon, scooting home at 3/1 – the £20 bet was now an £80 bet.
Things got better when Forte Dei Marmi won the 4.10 at Redcar for Luca Cumani at 4/1 to give Desy £400 on his final selection.
His last selection was in the 5.00 at Leicester and he took the Andrew Balding-trained Veni VIdi VIci  who came, saw and conquered at 7/2.
Desy had just scooped £1,800 and didn’t even know, so you can imagine his delight when he checked the results in the morning paper. Eased the sunburn a bit, we’ll bet.
A jubilant Desy told the PG that he is swapping sunny Newcastle for sunny Portugal after his windfall. Just right Desy – when you win, hold on to it and use it wisely.

Bet winner £50 : Raymond Hughes who has went for a Spain v Brazil final at 10s.
THURSDAY NAG : Cheyenne Red

Friday Blog : Oaks and Derby weekend
