The Road to Riches

Saturday 19th July

Coming up this weekend...

The final two rounds of the Open Golf Championship at Royal Liverpool take place this weekend. Going into the weekend three of the Betting Emporium pre-tournament tips (Fowler, Garcia and Furyk) are in the top 10 behind Rory McIlroy who is four clear of the field and odds-on favourite at the half-way stage.

The World Match-play Darts begins today in Blackpool

Cricket, the second England-India Test Match continues at Lords and after the first two days England are 219-6, 76 runs behind India, yet clear favourites to win the game.

The Tour De France continues with stages 14 and 15 over the weekend and with the two pre-race favourites Froome and Contador leaving the race injured the race for the podium behind short odds-on favourite Vincenzo Nibali looks wide-open as the race moves into the big mountain stages.

The German Grand Prix at Hockenheim sees Lewis Hamilton 4/7 favourite and Nico Rosberg 2/1 to win for Mercedes, 16/1 bar the two favourites

Racing this weekend includes Newmarket and Newbury and the Irish Oaks at the Curragh.

Free Tip of the Week

The Road to Riches will be weekly and will feature regular free tips from Betting Emporium writers. Today Neil Channing looks at the 2.40 at Newbury this afternoon.

"When I'm looking through a racecard to decide which races to bet on I start by looking for an angle. Often that angle will be the number of runners...Is there a good number for each-way betting, like 16-22 in a handicap? Sometimes I'll think about the draw as a way into the race, sometimes it will be the betting shape...a short-price favourite makes the place part of each-way bets on other runners attractive.

The angle that got me looking at the 2.40 at Newbury is that the favourite has been off for 286 days. Poor old Al Kazeem went off to stud to enjoy a whole new playboy lifestyle. Sadly the poor fella wasn't up to the job so now he's back to the track.

On top form on firm ground Al Kazeem would be odds-on here but firstly the ground could get a little soft with rain expected on a surface that the idiot clerk of the course has been watering. More importantly trainer Roger Charlton tends to let his horses improve for their first run of the year and he has stated that he'll be much fitter after today and that he carries a fair bit of weight above his optimal level. I could lay him at 15/8 but I could never back him at these prices.

Vancouverite is another one I've put the line through. So many doubts. Stable a bit out of form, blinkered the first time, been off a while and comes off a poor run. Would not back him at 12/1 and he's 6/1.

Sir Walter Scott is a fragile horse who has moved to Luca Cumani. I'm a keen follower of this stable and I can tell you if you never back them first time out you will save a lot of money.

Triple Threat is trained by an absolute legend but we could only back him for that reason. Disappointed in a better race last time and has been off for a while and despite the great man, the stable are having a slightly poor run. Baltic Knight would be interesting over 1m but this trip is a doubt and this stable never seem to get winners over the longer distances, Battle of Marengo probably wants further and I don't think he'll be 100% with the trainer saying this is a confidence booster. Zaidiyn and Out of Bounds look outclassed so we are left with two that I could consider.

Nabucco is trained by John Gosden who is one of my favourites. The horse has won a listed race before and it loves cut in the ground. The more it rains, the better his chance. Will definitely stay and looks very solid. Would be pretty surprised if this finishes out of the frame.

Amralah is a really interesting one. Some would say this is just a handicapper, but I would dispute this being a particularly good listed race and we know that this horse is in form, stays the trip and likes the ground, and there aren't many here you can say that about.

Bet365 and Stan James offer 1/4 123 in this race which is lucky for people who can get on with these miserable bookmakers. Bet365 match the best prices on all TV races from 10am so I would wait a little and bet with them.

If I could get on I would have 8 points each-way Amralah at 25/1 1/4 123 with Bet365.

If I could get on I'd wait until 10am and have 7 points each-way Nabucco at 8/1 1/4 123 with Bet365.

Best of luck."

Bookmaker reviews and advice

There are literally hundreds of pounds on offer from bookmakers just for signing up through Bettingemporium.com

Getting the best price available is very important for all professional bettors and those who take their betting seriously.

Please open an account with all those bookmakers on the page on this link that you do not already have an account with using the links provided.

A problem faced by many these days is restriction and closure of accounts. Here are some simple betting practices to avoid to promote the longevity of your account, to be able to benefit from the advantages of being able to use the firms you wish when placing your bets:

- Only ever backing horses the night before

- Only ever taking best prices

- Only ever backing something that is an arb on Exchanges

- Only ever backing horses that shorten

- Line tracking (watching price movements on Oddschecker and taking the last available price before it goes)

- Taking obvious stale prices

- Betting each-way in unprofitable spots for bookmakers, such as "dirty each way" races

- Betting in the early hours when there are no traders monitoring as they should be

- Always betting max and allowing trades to go through to traders for amounts over. It is better to bet "under max" and not have your account scrutinised

- Not using the same PC or Network as other limited players or winning players

- Betting on minority markets only all the time

By minimising these practices wherever you can, you can help promote the life of your unrestricted accounts
