Pakistan vs New Zealand (Test Cricket)

Pakistan - WIN - 2.70

The 3rd and final test of what has been a surprisingly close test series, with both sides winning a test each, as the last test heads to Napier for a Friday morning start.

The only thing stopping a result here is weather, as both of the first tests finished well within the 5 days.

I have gone for Pakistan, as I see their bowling attack as being more potent then the Kiwis, but also their batting is more consistent and they won't want to head to Australia on the back of a test series loss.

I am confident of this bet, but it is Pakistan, so anything could happen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LOSS - Game ended in a draw, although rain effected the chances of NZ winning, as Pakistan never looked likely.

Dunhill Championship (Golf)

Thomas Bjron - Each Way top 5 - 81.00

Couldn't resist this, Bjorn at 81.00 in a fairly week European tour event field.
A few units each way top 5 and I'll follow him closely.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LOSS - Didn't even make the cut, dropped form late in the year, and didn't recover.

Colorado Avalanche (NHL)

Colorado Avalanche - WIN - 1.80


Looking at the NHL games today, I saw this one was televised on Fox Sports, and see the Avalanche as a very good bet.

The Wild have beaten them a few times this year, but this is back on home ice for the Avalanche, and they are now leading their division, I can't see them dropping this one.
Should be a high scoring game, might even have a go at the -1.5 handicap for the Avalanche, I can see them winning by 2 goals here.

LOSS - 1-0, Minnesota, terrible game to watch, both sides seemed tired.
