After breaking even in the afternoon NFL games Sport Selections go 10pt Super Maximum bet on Dallas Cowboys to overcome the New York Giants. Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant has looked sharp in pre- season and a high-scoring contest seems likely but the home team look the best value bet.

Mince - Roger Charlton 4 year old filly

Smart Sport Selections as NFL Week One Kicks Off

Seattle QB Russell Wilson    

Darrelle Revis captured by Tampa

We can see the Seattle Seahawks carrying their late-season form into the new campaign. They have a great, versatile offence and one of the best defences in the league.Last year’s impressive rookie QB Russell Wilson should be even better this season while the defence will once again be one of the strongest in the league with an improved pass-rush thanks to the addition of defensive ends Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett.

Tampa Bay are dark horses who could do better than their prices suggest. The capture of Darrelle Revis catches the eye and the Bucs will be hopeful that Doug Martin will have a similar effect as he did last year when he was the NFL’s fifth-best rusher.

Recommendations
Seattle to win at Carolina 3pt win @ 5/6 (-3 with Hills)
Tampa bay to win at New York Jets 3pt win @ 10/11 (-3 with Hills)

RESULT UPDATE: Lanansaak wins at 6/1

Listen to the race commentary which highlights 

just how easily Lanansaak demolishes his rivals.

Lanansaak favoured in ASCOT 4:40 - Ritz Club Fillies´ Handicap

Lanansaak

Lanansaak,  thought highly of last season (went off at short prices on two starts) has the potential to outclass these at a good price. Trainers horses have history of running in and out of form.

Recommendation
4:40 Ascot
Lanansaak 2pt win

RESULT UPDATE: Gordon Lord Byron hoses up

15:50 Haydock - Soul and Gordon Lord Byron

Sport Selections suggest a  two-pronged attack in the Group 1 Betfred Sprint Cup.

Back Soul - he posted Group 1-company figures, both on form and the clock, when beating Firebeam by four lengths over 6f in heavy ground at Newbury last season, and for every couple of millimetres of rain that drop from here on in I expect a point to come off his price. 

 Gordon Lord Byron split Society Rock and Bated Breath on fast ground in this race last season, and has looked as good as ever of late, notably when third to Moonlight Cloud in the Maurice Du Gheest.

He won the Group 1 Foret on heavy ground last season, so his class and ground credentials are rock solid, and we can't see him being out of the frame.

Recommendation

3:50 Haydock

Soul 1pt E/W

Gordon Lord Byron 1pt E/W

 Ginger Jack

Powerful Presence

The track conditions at Haydock have altered significantly this afternoon making value spotting a fairly straight forward exercise.

The magic sign misjudge odds line in the Robins hood - Market pricing errors exposed in first competitive Bristol derby for six years

Sean O'Driscoll - Bristol City manager

Labrokes, Ladbrokes, Ladbrokes will you ever learn? Some prices are just way too generous even when set at superficially short prices.  The 4/5 available on Bristol City to beat Rovers tonight is a misjudgement of many percentage points according to the results of specialist processing of key data using our dedicated footballing algorithms. 

It is true that as City the commence their League 1 experience they have yet to win in five games. But key player performance stats suggest they will be more than a match for the Rovers. City have scored in all seven games played this season and look set to dominate their historical rivals. Sport Selections try to avoid odds-on tipping where we can but this type of value should be gobbled up for dinner.

Recommendation
Bristol City to Win 3pts @ 4/5

Don't leave Numen out in the lurch

Barry's Numen to be accompanied with a place bet this afternoon

Barry Brennan - Trainer of Numen

Numen (near side) winning at Exeter racecourse in 2011

While the highly respected Timeform organisation claim this horse is "is best left alone at present" we at Sport Selections have formed a radically different view. Our statistical analysis of previous form histories of all horses contesting this afternoon's 3:10 at Southwell racecourse suggest NUMEN is very well in amongst his rivals. Wearing blinkers today and ridden by the in-form and capable Gavin Sheehan - we anticipate there will be an accompanying improvement. Our private handicapper points out that Numen has a history  of speed and form ratings that suggest he is more than capable of running well in this class of race. With odds of around 10/1 for finishing in the first three (currently 40/1 to win with bookmakers and 55s available on exchanges) we have marked out the selection as this afternoon's place bet.

Recommendation
3:10 Southwell Numen E/W at 40/1 or better


RACE RESULT UPDATE

Belgium and Portugal set to dominate home teams

Mines a double at just under 11/8 odds

                         Portugal's Ronaldo and Marouane Fellaini of Belgium chase World Cup glory this weekend

Two top class International teams provide a golden winning double opportunity over this weekend's World Cup qualification games. The Sport Selections Team never like to claim that betting can ever be as easy stealing soft toys from a sleeping baby's pram but this weekend's coupon advice comes very close.

After analysing historical team performance data (as well as current player performance stats), we simply cannot envisage either Scotland or Northern Ireland being able to hold out against their vastly superior European counterparts. The bookies agree and have priced the Portuguese at 1/3 and Belgian team at 3/4 respectively. However perming the two selections in a winning double does provide a return of 1.33/1. We say this represents the minimum value for a 5pt maximum bet.

Steal that teddy bear dear followers!

Recommendation
Portugal
Belgium
5pt Max Bet Win Double

Get stuck in to E/W longshots at European Masters, Crans-sur-Sierre

With only 366,660 euros going to the winner of this weekend's European Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre the tournament has failed to attract many players from the top 40 in golf's world rankings. However the fairly unique characteristics of this Seve Ballesteros designed Swiss course offer opportunities to some big priced outsiders with either course form or positive GIR stats (combined with better than average putting abilities). The Twitter feed has already highlighted a number of players who fall within that category see below:

M A Jimenez  25/1
J Donaldson 25/1
M Manassero 25/1
R Wattel 66/1
D Willett 70/1
F Andersson Hed 80/1
J Van Zyl 80/1
Peter Lawrie 125/1
R Sterne 25/1
P Uihlein 40/1

The Sport Selections team always seek to reward their followers support with fantastic long-priced winners. We are taking up significant positions on the place market for a number of those listed.

Recommendations

Back the following to 1 pt E/W stakes for a top 5 finish in Switzerland:

R Wattel 66/1

D Willett 70/1

F Andersson Hed 80/1

J Van Zyl 80/1

Peter Lawrie 125/1

P Uihlein 40/1
