Football

All the British clubs may have exited the Champions League, but there’s plenty of interest in the Europa League and once again we’ll be trading all eight of tonight’s (Thursday’s) matches in-play including Chelsea’s clash with Steaua (Chels/Steaua 1.4-1.6) Tottenham’s journey to Italy (Int/Tot 0.1-0.3) and Newcastle v Anzhi (New/Anz 0-0.2).

In domestic affairs, the Premier League action kicks off at 12.45pm on Saturday as Everton host Man City. These two played out a 1-1 draw when they last met back in December. We have Everton at 12/5 for the win, Man City at 11/10 and the draw 9/4.

There are four three o’clock kick offs this week including Aston Villa v QPR (Ast/QPR 0.2-0.4), Southampton v Liverpool (Liv/Sou 0.6-0.8), Stoke v West Brom (0.1-0.3) and Swansea v Arsenal (Ars/Swa 0.25-0.45).

At 17.30 Man Utd host Reading. The Royals parted company with Brian Mc Dermott this week. Will this lead to an upturn in form? Our Supremacy quote here is Man Utd/Reading 2.45-2.65.
Mainly due to European involvement we have a number of games on Sunday including Sunderland v Norwich (Sun/Nor 0.4-0.6), Tottenham v Fulham (1.1-1.3) and Chelsea v West Ham (Che/West 1.4-1.6).

At 16.00 Wigan go head-to-head with Newcastle. There have been ten goals in Wigan’s last three matches. Will we be in for a goal fest here? Our Total Goals quote is: 2.8-3.

Horse Racing


This year’s Cheltenham Festival has already seen some memorable moments involving Hurricane Fly and Sprinter Acre to name but two.

Today’s big races are the World Hurdle involving Get me out of here 10-13, Oscar Whisky 17-20 and Reve De Sivola 14-17 and the Ryan Air chase where First Lieutenant leads the way in the betting at 20-23, with Cue Card 15-18 and Riverside Theatre 10-13.

Our festival markets are available as well, with highlights including Festival Favourites 265-272, Festival Distances 108-115, Biggest Winning SP 19.2-20.2 and Irish Trained Winners x10 108-112.

We are also offering prices for other upcoming races. Don’t see a price for a horse in a particular race that you are interested in?

Then simply email us at antepost@spreadex.com stating the horse and race in question and we will get back to you with a price.

Don’t forget that we are now offering an Unnamed Favourite market on each horse race. This allows you to place a bet on whichever horse is the starting price favourite at the off. Note that if the favourite is nominated and two or more runners start at the shortest odds, then stakes are equally divided over the ‘joint’ or ‘co’ favourites created. So, if you place £10 on ‘Unnamed Favourite’ and there are two favourites, you will get a £5 bet on each of them.

At 17.00 England continue their quest for the Grand Slam as they go head-to-head with a Welsh side that could also be crowned champions. Our Supremacy quote is Eng/Wal 0-2.
