Sometimes I find myself undecided between two horses, and the novelty bets help solve the dilemma. I've heard some - let's say more regular punters - say the novelty bets are for mugs.
Granted, they're there to increase bookmaker turnover, but I beg to differ in that they merely help open up the field to increase our chances of a win. That is, of course, if we can isolate the novelty bet which best suits our predictions.
Here's the latest from IASbet.com on the Lightning Stakes in Melbourne.

Guest tipster Friday - free tips
It's Friday again, and although I'm a bit late in the day, we've gotten a hold of some free tips from TAB sportsbet in New South Wales.
The racing tips usually go fairly well and despite a bad week last week, we've scanned over the latest offering and figure they're okay.
The soccer tips are usually only for Australian soccer and the bloke tips more draws than I've ever seen. I saw a theory on a UK betting site which insisted betting all up combinations on the draw in every game was a profitable exercise. Perhaps that's the same theory this tipster works on.
Regardless, for international readers who are following the Friday guest tips, most Australian agencies will take bets on these tips.
They come from racing follower Andrew Bensley:
The first kicks off at the Harness Racing tonight. All races are quoted in Sydney time:
Harness
Friday 22nd January
Harold Park Race 5 - 9:00pm
No.3 - CLONTARF LADY
Gallops
Saturday 23rd January
Rosehill Race 5 - 3:50pm
No.9 - CHANCE BYE
Greyhounds
Saturday 23rd January
Wentworth Park Race 1 - 7:27pm
No.7 - WINSOME JOE
Our balance remains at $100 so we'll whack 10% of the stack on each race ... no half measures. All will be to come first past the post.
Good luck!

Horse racing: Black Caviar odds
I personally don't understand why you'd take the novelty odds when you can all up on two races for the same return. Trainers are always keen to squeeze "one more" race out of a champion horse ... which just decreases your chances of a novelty 7-1 return.
It's a nice option, but our advice: Feel free to get on Black Caviar early, but ignore the novelty bet.
Here's the latest from Sportingbet:
The wraps on boom filly Black Caviar have been that big that Sportingbet Australia have posted her as a $7.00 chance to go through her entire preparation unbeaten.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the reports of Black Caviar’s work going into Friday night’s Australia Stakes had seen punters wanting to get on her in every way possible.
“She is $1.40 for the Australia Stakes which may well be overs, if the early money is anything to go by, as punters are knocking down the door to get on her,” Sullivan said.
“There has been good money for her in the Newmarket as well with her price shortening for $6.00 to $5.50 in the past 24 hours.
“We have her $7.50 to go through the preparation undefeated and I think punters will come for that as it is likely to be only the three starts in the Australia Stakes and William Reid, where she will be very short, and then the Newmarket.”
“If she dominates those two races like everyone is expecting, then she is going to be pretty short in the Newmarket and the $7.50 will look very good all of a sudden.”
Here De Angels is on the second line of betting at Sportingbet for the Australia Stakes at $3.00 with the early scratching of Heart of Dreams meaning Royal Ida is third favourite at $15.00.
“At this stage we haven’t seen any money for the other contenders and I think Black Caviar can probably only get beaten if she muddles the start and finds trouble,” Sullivan said.
WILL BLACK CAVIAR WIN EVERY START THIS PREPARATION?

YES, Black Caviar Wins Every Start This Preparation 7.00
NO, Black Caviar Does Not Win Every Start This Prep 1.11

Australian Open tennis tips Thursday
Well, we almost got it right with a huge upset in the tennis last night, tipping that Bernard Tomic would be a real show. He lasted the five sets before going down to the far more experienced Marin Cilic.
Our bet of the day, however, did get up ... just.
Forent Serra overcame Jarkko Nieminen in another five setter.
Today's tip of the day is for Tipsarevic to overcome veteran Tommy Haas. Tipper, as I like to call him, is at $2.15 or thereabouts which is a great return.

Australian Open tips
One of our outsider tips to win the Australian Open was upset in the first round - Robin Soderling. He seems to do well against the better players but has a mind explosion against lower ranked opponents. We'll have to live and learn from that experience.
But two others, Russians Davydenko and Dementieva, are still there. Should one of those win their respective tournaments, we've done quite well.
The following press release was from the weekend, which means it's a little outdated. It does, however, show that there's been plenty of money floating around. It also shows for whom.
For today's matches, there's not a lot of value around. But Bernard Tomic is at $6.70 to beat Marin Cilic. Ignore the rankings. Tomic is at 289 in the world, while Cilic is 14th. But Tomic has had good wins in the last month, including the scalps of Novak Djokovic and Radek Stepanek in warm up tournaments. He's not without a chance, particularly with the home crowd behind him.
In other games, Viktor Troicki is a player rising in the rankings and comes up against Florian Mayer who comes off the back of a 2 sets to love comeback win in the first round. Troicki is at $1.47 and should win, regardless of how pumped Mayer is.
Bet of the day for mine is Florent Serra to beat Jarkko Nieminen at $1.68. It's better than bank interest, that one! Serra has a 4-1 record against Nieminen who seems to have struggled to get past the first round of most tournaments of late, accounting for his falling world ranking.
TENNIS: BAGHDATIS BACKED FROM $151 TO $51
Marcos Baghdatis has been heavily backed to enjoy another good run at this year’s Australian Open following his win in Sydney.
Baghdatis, who opens his campaign on Tuesday against Paolo Lorenzi, has shortened from $151 last week to $51 at Sportingbet Australia.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the Cypriot was very popular with punters in Sydney last week and the money had also arrived for a shock Australian Open win.
“Baghdatis was well backed against Lleyton Hewitt in the quarters in Sydney and punters rallied behind him in his semi final and final win as well,” Sullivan said.
“We did bet as much as $331 when markets were posted a couple of months ago but the real interest has come since he showed he was in top form in Sydney.”
“We took one bet of $66,000 to $1000 and he has been as popular as any other player.”
Sullivan said all the punter interest had been away from pre tournament favourites Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray.
“Punters are certainly looking for value with many thinking the big three are still some way off top form,” he said.
“There has been good money for Novak Djokovic who has shortened from $9.00 to $6.50 and for US Open winner Juan Martin Del Potro.
“Of the roughies, there has been good money for Fernando Verdasco, Marin Cilic and Robin Soderling.”

Gianfranco Zola to stay at West Ham
Here's some latest markets in the English Premier League. The 40% return for Zola could be worth taking, but as regular followers of this blog will know, we rarely advise that people take any odds under $1.50.
THE STAR OF DAVIDS?
Victor Chandler make it a 2/5 shot that Gianfranco Zola is still the West Ham manager on June 1st after David Sullivan and David Gold gave the Italian their backing as they took over the East End club today. The firm go 7/4 that he gets the bullet.
“It’s a well worn joke that when the chairman gives a manager his backing it means the exact opposite, but we feel that the two David’s are sincere in their wish to see Zola succeed at Upton Park.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins.
“That said Zola still has to do the business on the park, and if the Hammers don’t start climbing the table soon then Gold and Sullivan might have no option but to change things.”
The firm also make it a 5/6 shot that the Hammers get over 20.5 Premier League points from now until the end of the season, and the same price that they don’t manage that points tally.

Avatar favourite to win Oscar
Sorry folks, I've been away for the last week, so there's a stack of media statements from bookies which I'm about to post on the site. After watching the Golden Globes on Monday, it seems there is some credence to this one.
It looks to be one of the most open contests for "best film" at this year's Academy Awards we've had for a long while. This means there could be some value.
It will take some courage, however, to run with an outsider. The best value I can see is "Precious" at 17-1 given that it seems to have all the politically correct attributes which the academy likes, but "Up in the air" could be a strong showing.
Here's the latest from Sportingbet:
WE BET AVATAR DOESN'T WIN
Sportingbet Australia bookmakers are prepared to risk boom movie Avatar repeating it’s Golden Globe success at March’s Academy Awards and are betting over the odds at $1.80.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said Avatar has history against it winning an Oscar.
“Avatar is a serious contender after taking out its category at the Golden Globes,” said Sullivan.
“But to put things into perspective The Hangover also won its category and would be 500/1 to win a Best Picture Oscar.
“ Add to that the fact that no Science Fiction film, including ET, has ever taken out an Oscar for Best Picture and I just don’t think Avatar should be odds on.”
Sullivan rates second favourite The Hurt Locker ($2.75) a massive chance and also gives Up In The Air ($3.50) and roughie Inglorious Basterds ($13.00) solid hopes of upsetting the favourite.

Brian Laws at 9/1 to leave
Wigan to concede the most goals seems like value. Here's the latest press release from Victor Chandler:
Victor Chandler have installed Brian Laws at 9/1 to be the next Premier League manager to leave his post, and just 5/2 that they finish bottom this season after he was given the nod as Burnley’s new boss, and the firm admit that it was an appointment that took them by surprise.
“This seems a bizarre selection and we fear for the club during the rest of the season.” said VC spokesman Dave Jenkins.
“It seems that everything that Coyle had built up could collapse and we really feel they’ll struggle to adapt. Laws is not renowned for his passing football. I hope the Clarets fans have their neck braces ready because it won’t be pretty from now on. This could well end in tears.”
The firm also make Burnley the 7/4 favourites now to concede the most goals this season. They have conceded 40 goals so far closely followed in the betting by Hull City (42) at 2/1 and by Wigan (44) at 5/2.

Australia vs Pakistan in Hobart
Below is a release from Sportingbet Australia.
The draw might well indeed be well backed, but it's difficult not to see Australia making it a 3-0 whitewash of the series.
With all the turmoil in the Pakistan team surrounding the selection, or non-selection as the case might well turn out to be, of Kamran Akhmal, the Pakistan temperament could go one of two ways. They could self-destruct (which is the most likely scenario) or they could perform out of their skin.
For mine, they had their chance in Sydney and blew it. My advice: Stay well clear of this betting market due to its unpredictability, but if you really must bet, Australia at $1.72 is the best option.
And remember, rain sometimes enhances the likelihood of a result, particularly if it manages to affect the wicket. Players might need only two hours on each of the last three days to secure a result.
Pakistan’s improved performance in the second Test and the threat of rain has seen punters swarm to back the draw for the third test starting tomorrow in Hobart.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the draw had been backed from $3.65 to $3.30 in the last 24 hours with long range forecasts predicting rain over the last three days.
“The draw has been the only option punters have wanted to back with a number of good bets including one of $4000 at $3.65,” said Sullivan.
“With a prediction of an 80 percent chance of rain for each of the last three days punters are willing to risk Pakistan lasting the first two days without any major damage.”
Australia remain ruling $1.72 favourites at Sportingbet Australia following their miraculous come from behind win in Sydney.
“The win in Sydney could well have smashed the confidence of Pakistan, who really snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, so Australia will remain favourites unless the rain really threatens to disrupt play in a big way,” Sullivan said

Football tip: Get on Manchester City
If you're looking for a longer term investment, Manchester City is a fantastic bet.
A great win at the weekend might mean they're finally putting early-season criticism behind them to produce the results everybody was expecting.
Yes, it does take time for a team to gel. It might just be starting to happen, and with 8.5 points start, it's a great bet.
I'm not as convinced about Everton or Tottenham.
Victor Chandler have opened up several season handicap match bets featuring some old city rivals in the Premier League. They have matched up Man United with Man City, Liverpool with Everton and Arsenal with Tottenham. VC’s spokesman Neal Wilkins thinks that the underdogs in the bets will be the most popular.
“We suspect that we’ll be laying Man City, Everton and Tottenham. City look quite menacing at the moment whereas United seem to be floundering a bit, Everton are slowly getting their act together and Tottenham look like they are only going to improve as the season goes on.”
Man City are getting a handicap of +8.5 points over United, Everton are getting +19.5 points against their city rivals, and Tottenham receive +11.5 against their arch enemies.

Premier League goal scores
If someone said at the beginning of the season that they'd give you better than even money on Chelsea scoring most goals this season - oh, and they'd give you eight goals head start - you'd probably take it.
The same scenario exists now, and we're well into the season. I intentionally don't edit many press releases, so here's the latest from Victor Chandler:
Man City are now 7/1 to be the Premier League highest scorers with Victor Chandler after bagging four goals in last night’s convincing victory over Blackburn. City have now hit the net 42 times in the Premier League so far this season, but are still some way behind the leaders Arsenal who have netted 53.
“The Gunners are clear favourites with 53 goals, but the pack are quite capable of mounting a challenge.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins. “It only takes a couple of big wins and the whole complexion changes.”
Man United are currently in second place with 46 goals, closely followed by Chelsea on 45. Man City and Tottenham are next best on 42, with Liverpool on 37.
Who will score the most goals in the Premier League this season
Arsenal (53) 11/8
Chelsea (45) 7/4
Man United (46) 2/1

Liverpool (37) 16/1

Man City are now 7/1 to be the Premier League highest scorers with Victor Chandler after bagging four goals in last night’s convincing victory over Blackburn. City have now hit the net 42 times in the Premier League so far this season, but are still some way behind the leaders Arsenal who have netted 53.
“The Gunners are clear favourites with 53 goals, but the pack are quite capable of mounting a challenge.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins. “It only takes a couple of big wins and the whole complexion changes.”
Man United are currently in second place with 46 goals, closely followed by Chelsea on 45. Man City and Tottenham are next best on 42, with Liverpool on 37.
Who will score the most goals in the Premier League this season
Arsenal (53) 11/8
Chelsea (45) 7/4
Man United (46) 2/1
Man City (42) 7/1
Tottenham (42) 10/1
Liverpool (37) 16/1

Australian Open tennis start list
There is no doubt that Roger Federer and Raphael Nadal will start favourites for the Australian Open.
It's interesting to see that Juan Martin Del Potro is currently nestled between the two in terms of favouritism stakes.
Granted, it's always hard to go past a champion and you'll be getting better than even money on Federer. The media are much more quiet than they were last year when the Fed's pre-event results were just as poor as they are this year.
I guess they're not quite as keen to have mud on their face in case he again finishes the year as the world's top-ranked player.
But let's look at form. Del Potro is fresh from a big win but hasn't played the traditional warm up events. That makes him somewhat of an unknown quantity and difficult to back.
Slide down the list to Nikolay Davydenko. He's the form player, coming from his masters win late last year and his win in last week's warm up event, where he came back from a bagel down in the first set to defeat Raffa.
It's always difficult to bet on Davydenko. In the big money events, he's likely to come out and surprise everyone, yet he's equally able to "throw" - whether intentional or not - his first round match. But at 10/1, he's worth a small investment.
The other one is Robin Soderling. The Swede broke a 12-match losing streak against Federer in Abu Dhabi and has beaten Nadal two out of their last three encounters. He's not yet at the point where he'll consistently win Grand Slams and word is he's not overly liked by the players. But he is erratically capable of anything.
At 25/1, Soderling is a tall man with a big serve and he likes the Melbourne surface. At the odds, he's well worth an investment.
In the women's event, Kim Clijsters (3/1) looks hard to beat, especially if Justine Henin is ruled out. It's not smart to totally eliminate the Williams sisters, particularly Serena who as world number 1 will start favourite to win the event.
But Clijsters is the form player - looking fit and happy.
For those looking for an outsider, Elena Dementieva fires up at 14/1. There was a time last year when she strung together more than 10 games on the trot and was the world's form player, until she fell heavily to American giant killer Melanie Oudin.

Postponed Premier League matches turns weekend sour
There's good news and bad news.
The good news is we haven't lost any money.
The bad news is that each of Neal Wilkins' tips for the weekend were on matches postponed by Premier League officials due to the weather.
Guest tipsters will be back this Friday, with Neal Wilkins to have another crack. We'll also have another surprise celebrity from the sporting world.
So, balance after week 1 remains at $100.

KFC Big Bash market ... get on quick
I'm not usually keen on futures markets, but this one is great value. Western Australia overnight - thanks probably to commentary from Mark Waugh who said he'd placed a bet at $9 - has firmed two points to win the KFC Big Bash.
Western Australia has won only one of its three games, but has struck some bad luck with Chris Gayle's injury and other factors.
But they're a terrific side and with the Marsh brothers hitting fantastic form in their last win against Victoria and with Gayle likely to return in their next encounter, they're a real chance.
They'll have to win four games straight, but that's not beyond their well-rounded outfit.
They're still at $7 with Sportsbet, and $6.60 with Betfair, but I wouldn't expect those odds to remain intact for too long. Now's the time to get on, if only for a speculator - we'd suggest 5% of your bankroll.
On a slight tangent, it was interesting to see Queensland last night and the irony of their management policies. It's the side which couldn't buy a Sheffield Shield win in the 70s and 80s, despite some of the world's best players chipping in - Viv Richards not being the least.
Now, they're the only team in the KFC Big Bash not to have an international import. The irony is, it won't matter. They still won't win.
That said, James Hopes is terrific. I look forward to his presence in the Australian one-day team. Let's hope Watson doesn't steal his place.

How will Darren Ferguson hold up?
Neal, quoted below, is our guest tipster this weekend. He's actively promoting new markets for Victor Chandler. And given there's no racing, all attention is being put on the football.
This is their latest release:
Victor Chandler have opened a market on whether Darren Ferguson will gain more Championship points than Alan Irvine. They make Ferguson a 4/6 chance to out score his fellow manager at Sheffield Wednesday in the remaining 23 matches of the season. Irvine is the outsider at 11/10.
“It will be interesting to see how the two men fare in the rest of the season.” said VC spokesman Neal Wilkins. “Both have 23 matches left with a total of 69 points up for grabs, and we suspect that it’ll be close.”
Preston fired Alan Irvine and replaced him with Darren Ferguson, whereas Irvine soon picked up the vacant managers position at Sheffield Wednesday, and both managers will be desperate to push their new clubs up the league.
Darren Ferguson v Alan Irvine: Who will win most Championship points?
Darren Ferguson 4/6
Alan Irvine 11/10
Points gained just from remaining 23 matches from 09/01/10 to end of season.

Magic Millions 2yo classic
And from the same bookmaker, here's the market movements for the Magic Millions 2-year-old race at the Gold Coast, Australia:
Unbeaten Queensland filly Military Rose is set to challenge the John O‘Shea trained Ambers Waltz for favouritism in the Magic Millions classic according to Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan who reported a mountain of money arriving for her.
Sullivan said Military Rose seemed to be the pick of big punters nationwide and had shortened from $7.50 to $5.50 on the back of some big bets this week.
“She is clearly the one the punters want to be on and why not given her unbeaten record from three starts ,” Sullivan said.
“We took a bet of $6000 at $5.50 on Friday afternoon and that was after we had already taken a series of bets of around $2000 and $3000.
“The way the money is coming, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if she challenged Ambers Waltz for favouritism in the lead up to the race.”
Sullivan said Amber’s Waltz retained favouritism after running an unlucky second at her last start in Sydney.
“We did take a bet of $10,000 on Amber’s Waltz but that has really been the extent of the support for her,” Sullivan said.
“She was unlucky last start but she probably had her chance over the final 200m and didn’t really let down, so I am keen to take her on if she remains these odds.”
There has also been good money for Brightexpectations ($13 into $10), while Startsmeup was well supported on all-on markets at odds as big as $126.

Love Conquers All is Magic Millions favourite
Following is a statement from Sportingbet Australia with the latest market movements for the Magic Millions on the Gold Coast, Sydney, Australia, this weekend:
The Hawkes trained Love Conquers All has clearly been the best backed runner for the Magic Millions 3YO Trophy shortening from $5 to $4.20 at Sportingbet Australia.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said the last start Sydney winner was the only horse punters had been interested in backing in the last 24 hours.
“They have jumped out of trees to back him since he drew perfectly and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start even shorter,” Sullivan said.
“We are taking more bets on him than the rest of the field combined with bets of $10,000 and $5000 among a string of four figure bets placed on him.”
Sullivan said the only other horse to come in for support so far was Deer Valley who had shortened from $7.00 to $6.50 at Sportingbet.
“We took one bet of $60,000 to $10,000 on Deer Valley after being luckless last start,” Sullivan said.

How we work our bankroll
Friday guest tipping is up and running again, so I thought it might be worth a quick refresher about how we manage our bankroll, particularly if you want to follow us.
We can't promise the same results, but last year we managed to triple our bankroll via a conservative and very simplified betting strategy, which works like this:
* If I think it's a good thing, I'll bet 20% of my bankroll.
* If I think it's a reasonable bet, yet over even money odds, I'll bet 10% of the bankroll.
* If it's a speculator, I'll throw on 5% of the bankroll.
Most punters will tell you it's all about percentages. Bookies work on percentages, and we'll work on the theory that we need to outsmart about 20% of the money being held in the bookies' coffers.
Don't forget to check out Neal's tips in the article below this one ... hopefully he'll get us off to a good start for 2010.

Free Friday Guest Tipster is Neal Wilkins
It was minus 5 degrees from where Neal Wilkins gave me a call earlier this week.
Neal regularly appears on Sky channels in the UK, along with Racing UK, and has a wealth of contacts in the racing industry there having been on the racecourse for more than 40 years.
For the past 10 years he has been PR manager for international bookmakers Victor Chandler which means he's well across all sports.
Given that there's no racing, his tips will be confined to the football. To make it a bit more exciting for us, he's concentrated on the televised games.
Tip 1: It's top versus bottom in Saturday's 12.45pm (UK time) kick off when Chelsea look sure to justify odds of 4/11 against struggling Hull who are on offer at 7/1 with Victor Chandler despite enjoying home advantage.
Tip 2: On Sunday I believe West Ham will build on their spirited Cup performance against Arsenal last Sunday and reward backers at 4/5 in their home match to Wolves who have only scored 8 goals on their travels this season.
Tip 3: Finally, the draw at 5/2 looks the call when Liverpool entertain a resurgent Spurs at An field. Liverpool have been far from convincing this season and look vulnerable at set pieces.
As we did last year, we'll be taking our guest tips in full faith. But given it's the first week of the year, and that we cashed out for Christmas, we'll start from scratch with a token $100 account.
We'll all up 10% on Neal's first two tips, Chelsea into West Ham. That would return about 3/2 ($2.50)
And we'll put 10% on the draw at An field.
Good luck!

Mike Phelan seems set to take over at Burnley FC
When the market was first opened by Victor Chandler on Tuesday, I said it would be nice to have some inside information.
Given the odds movement over the past 24 hours, it seems somebody does, as Mike Phelan has firmed considerably to be employed full time at Burnley FC.
Here's the latest from Victory Chandler:
Victor Chandler have seen significant money for Mike Phelan to be the next permanent manager of Burnley FC.
Manchester United assistant manager, Phelan, was available at 10/1 before being backed into 5/1 and is now just 2/1 to take reins at Turf Moor. Hibernian Manager, John Hughes, has also seen significant interest and has been trimmed from 20/1 to current price 8/1.
Victor Chandler spokesman Neal Wilkins commented “Nearly a;; of the money is coming for Sir Alex’s right-hand man. Usually when that happens there’s a good reason and it seems unlikely it’s based solely on Phelan’s playing history at Burnley! ”
