More close racing at Lingfield

With a myriad of special offers available, we look at some bets to capitalise on the bookmakers’ generosity.

Offer: Sprint Series (Sat 2.15 & 3.20 Lingfield) – Blue Square
For this Saturday’s sixth round races at 2.15 and 3.20 Blue Square are offering money back if your horse is beaten by less than a length! Max. refund £50.

Verdict: The horses running in Blue Square’s Lingfield sprint series are very tightly matched, rarely does a well-handicapped horse pop-up. Hatta Stream (2.15 Lingfield) is a regular at this level and is rarely beaten far.

His margin of defeat in six furlong all-weather races, when confined to class five contests is:  0.25, 0.75, W, W, head.

In all five starts he has either won, or finished within a length of the winner. With Blue Square’s concession, you would never have lost money backing him.

Selection: Hatta Stream to win the 2.15 Lingfield at 11/2 with Blue Square.


Offer: Man Utd v Liverpool – Ladbrokes
If Wayne Rooney scores at any time against Liverpool (11/02/12), Ladbrokes will refund losing first goalscorer bets – up to £100.

Verdict: Wayne Rooney is a best price 6/5 (Coral) to score anytime which means we have close to a 50% chance of getting a refund with this offer. Of the two teams, United are the most prolific and with home advantage they are the side to focus on. Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck are both 5/1 (Ladbrokes) to open the scoring but it is uncertain which of them will start.

Luis Valencia has started the last 11 league games chipping in with two goals along the way. Ladbrokes are best price 12/1 on the Ecuadorian opening the scoring, a worthy outsider with insurance if Rooney scores anytime during the game.

Selection: Luis Valencia first goal scorer at 12/1 with Ladbrokes.
