KDRF - betfair is great for laying, which is my preference in matches in sports with three or more outcomes. The forums are a bit hit and miss though, especially the football one unfortunately.

Otherwise though sites are all the same, and my preferences used to be on whichever one I'd had a good recent run on, usually found that I'd come back to http://www.stanjames.com for some reason.

The site Pepe's recommended is highly reliable in my experience, although I'm not certain that I've always bothered to follow it's advice and opened yet another new account on yet another different site just because it was a point or so better than somewhere else.

Whereas I like bluesquare best - maybe not the best prices but I like the navigation on the website

I use Paddy Power online.

The weather has decimated my betting slips, two games off out of six in my 'teams to win' accumulator and two off out of six in my 'both teams to score'.

Still at least I have slightly more chance of winning!






Although I will still NOT win anything!

Brighton are 11/4 to beat Leeds on Skybet. Seem pretty decent to me. If you are doing an accy this weekend Hull at home to Bristol City is also a shout, City are missing 2 players through suspension and are on a pretty bad run at the moment.

I've actually gone for a pretty big 8 fold this weekend, with;
Sheffield Wednesday @ evens
Charlton @ 5/6
Hull @ 8/11
Reading @ 1/2 (i hate betting on the team i support but the odds offered with us at home to Coventry seemed to good to pass by)
Crawley @ 4/9
Sheff Utd @ 4/11
Bayer Munich @ 2/11
Galatasaray @ 2/5

I also have some ridiculous 15 fold with 50p on with favourite from the brazilian league, welsh 3rd division etc..

What are the odds for a red card in the Man U game today?

Not sure where to find it.

On SkyBet, I couldn't find that market, though Utd were 6/5 to be first carded, no card was 28/1 and Liverpool were 7/11

On Betfair i have found the market, click the team name, go to player markets, it's 3.35 to back a red card in the game.

Not on the sending off, not good enough odds.

I had Man U for either a 2-1 or 3-1 with Rooney to score first.

Also had a lucky 15 with

Blackburn
Swansea
Middlesbrough
Derby.

Middlesbrough abandoned after 37 mins. How does that work now?

I have them in a treble, so hoping either voided or they just take the odds down.
