The bookmakers make this a very close game to call in the betting, with Chelsea&#39;s home advantage just about shading it at 13/8 favourites with Paddy Power. United are a shade bigger at 7/4 whilst the draw is 9/4.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/football/04022012/chelsea-v-man-utd-odds-rooney-heads-betting-to-score-first.php</link><pubDate>2012-02-04 10:53:51</pubDate><category>football</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Newcastle v Aston Villa Odds Draw an attractive bet at Sports Direct Stadium]]></title><description><![CDATA[

	Fierce London rivals West Ham and Millwall lock horns at Upton Park in Saturday&rsquo;s lunchtime Championship clash.

While West Ham are the bookies&rsquo; favourites to win the league, Millwall&rsquo;s recent poor form has seen them drop down to 21st. Ladbrokes have installed West Ham as the odds-on 8/13 favourites for the win, while Millwall can be backed at 5/1, with a draw available at 13/5.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/football/03022012/west-ham-v-millwall-odds-a-home-win-the-bet-as-hammers-look-to-stay-top.php</link><pubDate>2012-02-03 14:07:36</pubDate><category>football</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Charlene Tilton Favourite In Dancing On Ice Elimination Odds]]></title><description><![CDATA[

	The live Premier League match on Saturday evening is Man City v Fulham and this is just the kind of fixture Roberto Mancini will think the team needs to get back to winning ways. Despite still sitting on top of the Premier League Manchester City&#39;s form has stuttered since Christmas, dropping points against West Brom and Sunderland before being dumped out of both cup competitions, the latest set back for City came on Tuesday when losing 1-0 away at Everton. The bookmakers reckon City will bounce straight back by beating a Fulham side who are usually susceptable on the road with Paddy Power going odds of 3/10 about a home win. Fulham fans can back their team at 10/1 for Saturday&#39;s match with the draw available at 4/1.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/football/02022012/man-city-v-fulham-betting-city-odds-on-to-get-back-to-winning-ways.php</link><pubDate>2012-02-02 16:15:49</pubDate><category>football</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scotland v England 2012 Six Nations Odds New Look England Narrow Favourites]]></title><description><![CDATA[
	England&rsquo;s Caretaker Head Coach, Stuart Lancaster could not have been given a much tougher start to stake his claim for the permanent Head Coach position than a Calcutta Cup game at Murrayfield against Scotland. Lancaster will know that in order to win the 2012 Six Nations they must land the odds and win this match something which England have failed to do on their last three visits. The betting ahead of the game is interesting with Paddy Power making the visitors 8/13 odds on favourites to win, while quoting Scotland at 11/8 and the draw at 18/1. Punters in fact are reminded that the two teams drew 15-15 this fixture in the 2010 Six Nations.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/rugby-union/02022012/scotland-v-england-2012-six-nations-odds-new-look-england-narrow-favourites.php</link><pubDate>2012-02-02 13:23:15</pubDate><category>rugby union</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[France v Italy 2012 Six Nations Odds Les Bleus Overwhelming Favourites To Win Opener]]></title><description><![CDATA[

	The Waste Management Phoenix Open tees off on Thursday on the PGA Tour with a host of Americans near the top of the betting. Contrary to the sponsors name, the golf should be of the highest quality on a terrific course, the TPC Scottsdale in Arizona. This is one of the most popular courses on the PGA Tour in main due to the fantastic 16th hole. A par three played out in front of a stadium full of raucous fans it is unique on tour. The course is pretty standard barring the 16th, a par 71 track over 7000 yards you&#39;d think it would favour the bombers but this hasn&#39;t always been the case. The scoring is always low here, the greens are fair and it ranks as one of the easiest on tour in the scrambling stats.]]></description><link>http://www.betting-directory.com/golf/31012012/phoenix-open-odds-rickie-fowler-a-good-bet-to-break-his-duck-at-scottsdale.php</link><pubDate>2012-01-31 10:56:22</pubDate><category>golf</category></item></channel></rss>
