Saturday's tips and picks

Well another week over with and another great week of sport and personal achievements. Don't know about about you but there is no way I expected the medal haul that GB have achieved. Hats off to them all. One of my favourite winners was the equestrian, to watch the horse and rider moving to the music in unison was brilliant you can see again at 2:26:30 on the BBC iPlayer  Horse & rider in unison

Today's events have already got underway with another 2 medals for GB in the kyaking. Tom Daley is underway competing for tonight's final, Mo Farrah goes for gold at 1930 in the 5000m, GB v Ireland in the boxing at 2045, the Excel will be rocking for that one. We've also got the last of the sailing down in Weymouth, some hockey, The modern pentathlon and finally is there another medal in the bag for Bolt in the 4 x 100m?  On top of that the football gets underway today with various leagues starting to kick off.

Trading on the football needs to be careful with no real history/styles of play to look at for the new season.  Look out for some short priced favourites who are still drawing at 55 - 60 mins, check the stats at BET365, and give consideration to Laying the Draw.

Horses see some decent races around the country, with quality to go with them, look for BOG at Bet 365 and watch the lays for NR's:

going against recent history,but based on end of season placings and close season activity, we should see goals. But this is France..... may look to take some insurance out U1.5/1-0/0-1 dependent on early action.

Good Luck
