Three tips for today

It is Grand National day and that has to be one of the best days of the year if you are anything like me. For me it is the only race where the result is almost an afterthought, it is the whole spectacle of the famous event that makes it a fantastic place to be at, or indeed watch on TV.

I hope you received my email during midweek where I explained where my money was going and the reasonings why. I tipped three horses after an exhaustive rant and as of Saturday morning my main fancy, NICHE MARKET can be backed at a best priced 25/1 with Bet365, whilst my two outsiders, Chief Dan George & Killyglen are available at 50/1 & 80/1 respectively.

Onto this weekends football now and we have another couple of great value bets available for you now.

Firstly I recommend backing 'over 2.5 goals' in the Bolton v West Ham match. Both teams are averaging over 2.5 goals per game in more than 60% of their matches and both have only kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 8 games. The best available price is 17/20 with Bet365.

Another game that takes our fancy is the Sunderland v West Brom game. Sunderland may be without a goal in their last 4 games and without a win in 7 but they have had a tough run of fixtures of late, playing top 7 sides in their last 5 games. So grab the 13/10 on offer from Victor Chandler.

Finally take a look at the Millwall v Leeds game this afternoon. I can see this match being as hot on the pitch as I'm sure it will be off it. Both teams are scoring goals of late and the 4/5 on offer for both teams scoring at Victor Chandler is well worth a punt.

That treble pays almost 7/1.

So enjoy your weekend out and about in this glorious weather and lets hope for a lovely return from both our football and our National tips.
