Gavan said the only reason that Kings Lynn were favourites was because they were virtually through to the final and Poole v Somerset was on a knife edge. He said I knew nothing about betting. Just looked at the odds. Kings Lynn are 8/15 on and Poole 7/4 against. Kings Lynn are massive favourites with the bookies. Clearly Gavan knows Jack 5hit about betting. And clearly neither do you! King's Lynn are 15/8 on (8/15 on is in effect 15/8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are correct about Mauger. Gundersen did once agsinst Aces as well if i recall. Mort started 83 at number 4 For Aces. And plenty of examples of top of average not riding at 1. It is the heat format which skews averages, not the format. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was the man everyone tried to emulate. A masterful competitor that took professionalism to a new level... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted October 4, 2018 Think i’ll Have a little tickle on that. Poole 7/4 is decent odds in a 2 Horse race. As a Lynn fan, for me I win whatever the result Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,617 Posted October 4, 2018 So the strong whisper is that its Adam Ellis both home and away. Not confirmed anywhere officially yet but I'm sure his dad will let us know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gavan 5,049 Posted October 4, 2018 Good guest especially at Poole where Ellis can be expected to get more than Kurtz At Lynn though Ellis not managed that much from the easier number two role. Ellis for Kurtz at Poole makes Poole stronger but away at Lynn I think Poole would be weaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
castrolargh 261 Posted October 4, 2018 Ellis definitely makes Poole stronger at lynn, he scored a hatfull when he guested a couple of weeks ago ..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kurtz could easily have got double figures next week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
