Gvardiol and Rohdri AGS, 40/1 and 8/1 respectively.

Porto at 2/1

This was a winner right?

I did a similar placepot today, first time every. Usually more of an each-way acca man.

Maries Rock didn't place afaik

It didn't need to, just need one from each race.

Ah okay, thanks Cloudy. Never did one,

Vinny Junior is even money with Paddy to score or be carded tomorrow.

That bet pays out in 10 of his 15 games since the restart, but also 10 of the last 12. He's scored and been carded in 4 of the last 12.

Only thing putting me off is the game state. Madrid get an early goal and the two teams play "lets not use that much energy for the next 80 minutes or so"

His fouls drawn are 3, 5, 5, 2, 3, 3, 10, 5, 2, 4, 6, 7, 3, 6, 7, 0

In contrast, the World cup he was fouled 7 times in 4 matches, and 5 of them were against Switzerland.

TAA and Milner both 5.5 to be shown a card. @Philby, who tends to cover for TAA when he doesn't track back or is too far forward to get there?

Edit, maybe not as TAA fouls as often as I ride Halle Berry.

It was. Absolutely shite payout (although I'll still take it.) I had literal pennies in it, but for the multiplier from my selection I wasn't getting much back.

I suppose it's to be expected when the day was heavy on favoured horses doing well. Maybe Cheltenham with it's lack of true plots, with some expected to do well horse generally placing, isn't the spot to be going in on Tote stuff.

Threw up another one for today. 10p job.

Usually it's Henderson, when he plays as the nominally right-sided midfielder in a 3. Or, if there's too much ground to make up, Gomez/Konate as right-sided CBs.

With Henderson & Bajcetic both out the line-up is anyone's guess though.

If Klopp sticks with 4-3-3 then the ones he trusts most are Fabinho, Milner & Elliott.

Unless Real score in the first half hour I could see a 4 striker formation (Salah, Jota, Gakpo, Nunez) at some point, if not from the start - with Milner & Fabinho give the enviable task of minding the fort.

Midfielders: Fabinho, Milner, Keita, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jones, Elliott
Forwards: Firmino, Salah, Jota, Gakpo, Nunez, Carvalho

Scanning through the odds I'd reckon Milner @ 4/1 is the best bet, as he'll probably start and play 65+ mins.

Cheers Phil, I was thinking that maybe I'd wait until it goes in play and see how it develops

I'm new to these but I could get a taste for them m8s

Am I right in thinking that, once you get a horse placed in all 6 races, the odds of individual horses have no impact on the payout?

And that the only factors which do impact your payout are:

- The "per line" stake you place
- The amount of other punters who also get 6 horses places (...so, in a roundabout way, you do get rewarded for getting high odds horses placed as on average it means that some of the more favoured horses didn't get placed so that's more cash in the pot to be divided amongst the winners)
