WE'VE not had much to bet on since last Thursday – and our choices are shrinking by the day.
For racing fans thankfully meetings are continuing behind closed doors – next month's Grand National has fallen though – but Tuesday's National League games are now off after the FA banned all football down to grassroots level.
Behind closed doors games in Turkey have been a focal point for punters and well done to Greg and all the other winners on Monday.
I tried a double and while over 2.5 goals landed at Eskisehirspor vs Adana I needed a Sivasspor goal that never arrived.
With the non-league games biting the dust Tuesday's card is as thin as a whippet. All I can see are Goziepe v Rizespor in Turkey and some matches later in Argentina.
I'm keen to keep things rolling but it's a no-bet Tuesday for me.

Life is so dull without sports
Can’t argue with that and this is just the beginning.
Football will be played behind closed doors no doubts,if all the players have had 2 weeks lockdownthen there isn’t any reason why it can’t be played.
With all due respect Macca, I’m not sure you quit grasp the situation.
Why is that old al????
I thought the same macca then read someone saying that playing it behind closed doors whilst allowing people to watch it congregated together in bars, and public places etc would be counter productive. The only way to combat that would be to shut pubs or not screen the matches live.
Pubs are going to close sean,i can’t see why they can’t play behind closed doors,i think that’s what they will do
Let’s hope you’re right.
(Not the pub bit)
Sky Sports are not refunding customers because they full expect fixtures to be played at some point.
The truth is nobody knows and are playing it by ear, again, I hope you’re right but can’t see it myself.
As a Leicester fan it would be bad if the season ended now, but on a brighter note it would mean Liverpool not winning the league ?,
Now I know the huge importance of sports, not only about the bet,
Sports is LIFE.
On a sporting capacity there are far more implications to professional football matches being cancelled. I.m quite sure some of you guys have family members/ friends that have had their own sporting events cancelled. i know of scores of guys who have trained all winter for events in Barcelona, Paris,London, Manchester Edinburgh to name a small few that have lost in the region of £500 having booked weekends for them and their family. .ultimately the correct decision due to the grave situation, but not so nice on the pocket and if you love competing in your sport..
Sure football ball is life, am real frastuated

A word for Tommo, put a £1 lucky 15 on his four horse selections yesterday purely out of boredom – returned £45 so thanks.
I notice Steven Gerrard is not commenting on wether Celtic should not be awarded the title if the season is not completed .
nope it was the MD who came out with the statement. I think its pretty easy to guess what he would think- but his paymasters wont/don’t agree so he wont say it.
As u said the other day sean, gerrard can’t say Liverpool should be given title then saying Celtic can’t also I think pubs will shut in uk?
I really hope the season gets played to a finish wether it’s behind closed doors as a last resort or not, it will take away all the nonsense surrounding teams being awarded places that would continue for years. However it’s been funny to see that fans of a certain team that have been doom and gloom since the winter break and saying that the league is over for weeks, now believe that with a bigger points gap and less games to play since they started dropping points, believe that there’s now no way it’s over until 38 games are played ???
Nobody can get anything it aint finished.Simples.
Aww well we will let Neil Doncaster and Ian maxwell know you’ve decided Chelseagirl
If the pubs are not shut already in the UK, then the sooner they do the better. All closed here in Ireland, as well as all the schools. Both need to shut to stop this.
Sooner this is stopped the sooner the sport comes back.
Well. I`m off out now for a pint before they close the pubs here . Have a good day everybody .
Think I’ll join you cocker, must be having a strange st Pat’s day over there.
Aye old al . Pity the poor people who booked to go over to Dublin for the celebrations .
Any way I will be having a few Jamiesons and Porter today . Make the most of it while ye can .
Very strange but absolutely necessary. Anyone who wanted to booze just stocked up on the cans, easy. Most people are at home today and many working from home for the foreseeable future. A lot of the non-essential shops including bookies have closed here now as well…the sooner you lot follow suit, the better.
I live in n.ireland inkyhead and believe u me half the people aren’t at home there out working keeping themselves and the country afloat.how the hell can u fix someone’s burst pipe lying in Ur pit…and thousands are like me.we don’t all sit at desks pushing buttons…we have mouths to feed and bills to pay.
Jim Burnside it’s St Patrick’s Day (a national holiday down here remember) and most people are at home instead of the usual on Paddy’s Day. Very few people would be working today. I didn’t say anything about everyone not going to work, and it’s a fact about the pubs being a perfect breeding ground for it. There’s no disputing that Boris and co have been way too slow to start dealing with it. Why the hostility?
BTW the pubs are the absolute worst environment for the virus, a couple of drinks in and every precaution goes out the window, never mind keeping a distance from one another.
Are you piers Morgan by any chance…because you seem to know it all.
Are you a comedian in another life…coz that’s just hilarious. Outta curiousity, have you got something against us Mexicans?
I was just stating a few facts pal. I never made any statement about people not having to go out to work, just those that many that work from home will, and it’ll help. I have mouths to feed and bills to pay too believe it or not.
facts?
Ah give over man. What exactly have I said that’s untrue?
Turkish Super Lig
Goztepe vs Rizespor
Over 3.5 2nd Half Cards @ 17/20
*Medium Stake*
Just a single for me today. Comes from the Bahrain league
Al-Muharraq v Al Riffa
Al-Muharraq to win and both teams to score 13-5
Think this is massively over priced. Just look at the stats. Al-Muharraq have a great home record and Al Riffa always score on the road. GL all
Euros postponed till 2021 according to skysports
Excellent news jimba it means the league will be completed
UEFA believe they have given leagues the chance to finish by June 30 but that’s hugely optimistic.
Friday apparently pubs shut
Macca i cant see the league starting before september. This country is behind all of europe with most on lockdown. Am still at work but for how long i dont no. You said they wont close the pubs. Look all over europe not a pub open anywhere. Going to get worse before it gets better.
Who said the wont close the pubs,i said they would lose the pubs
Take a look at Singapore everything back open there back to normality 850 had virus no deaths.
I know someone who works in Singapore and they say it’s certainly not back to normal.
Well if you Google the business times Mr F you will find that they disagree with the person you know ..the malls are 5% down on normal before the virus.i will take there word for it.
I’m not there but that’s what she says.
I saw a report today that said: “Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong are witnessing fresh waves of coronavirus infections. Singapore reported 23 new cases late Tuesday, its highest daily count since the epidemic started.”
Yeah its much worse in italy than there making out and like Alex says were behind the rest of Europe.
It’s still business as usal in wales crazy.
French on total lock down and there only over the channel.
has anyone found bookies doing booking points in the san luis game?!
Sky are doing them Aaron lad, may be on that game myself later.
Line is high at 70 Booking Points however which is a little offputting.
ahh, yeah that is a bit high, hoping PP put them up closer to kick off – hoping for 50 lol
Yeah defo best left alone at the minute, 50 is where the line should be IMO but won’t be betting on unders. Line may be altered nearer to game time so keep an eye on it.
They can’t finish leagues behind closed doors unless 100% of players of all clubs are virus free which is unlikely in the short term.
It’s a case of hurry up and wait I’m afraid.
Once pubs and restaurants close it’s a case of a few tinnies in the local park.
If all the players have a two week isolation period then surely they can play behind closed doors
Definitely not finishing the season. This isn’t just going to go away.
News reporting the virus now at it’s peak in London
My wife and son now to go into isolation as she’s pregnant and has a cough and temperature and he’s the same but is asthmatic ???
Hope everything turns out OK.
my god Sean, hope everything is ok pal, shocked that the office I work in is still open with over 1,000 workers even though the Scottish stance is no more than 500 people in any place at once, been going mad at higher ups at work but they are just hiding behind boris obviously
**hes not pregnant obviously ??
Sorry to hear that mate,remember though it is the season for colds and flu,wish them a speedy recovery.
everything will be fine mate, obviously just precautionary, shes had the cough for weeks but was meant to be at midwife soon so phoned to ask her what was happening and told that was the advice. Hes been off school for 2 days with the cold, don’t think its anything worse than that but again sounds precautionary. Im at work when they’ve been told so im wondering if I cant go home who the hell is making my dinner
Be fine mr fixit I’ll get some grub somewhere ???
My lads in Walthamstow and his missis is pregnant (no sniffle though) they are in total lockdown now, all the best with yours Sean.
????
There was a guy who caught it after 27 days of no contact so this 2 weeks and everything is fine is nonsense,i think authorites will go way by the 2 weeks to make sure and even then.
Turkey special

Ha just logged into my bet 365 account to see a balance of hundreds of pounds- wondered what it was and they’ve refunded all bets on the euros. I’ve been backing Belgium against Russia with odds and sods for months now and it’s built into a nice pot. Good that they’ve refunded it instead of holding onto it.
Yeah that’s probably fair enough.
Great news the f.a has committed to finish off the season by June 30th,great news for us bad news for Newts
Great news but no chance of happening in my opinion.
Why not????
Why’s it bad news for me. Everyone wants the season finished of course they’ll commit.
What you actually mean is because I’ve said from day one it won’t get completed that I’m wrong and it will.
Not a prayer. And your facts are wrong they’re aiming for June/July
Turkish games…..no. Don’t usually bet on them so I won’t now.
Very slim chances when betting on leagues and games i know nothing about other than the usual check online to come up with a bet for the sake of betting.
For that reason….I’m out.
Focus on something else for a while. Enjoy the family time, appreciate your health or just count your toilet rolls or something, just stop the addiction known as gambling for a while!
Rogers out.
Tasty looking card tonight tomorrow lads with a full roundup of the Nigerian Premier League, all home wins will pay well over 50/1, banker material if all the away sides are scared to death to perform!
*tomorrow
Is that still the case with nigeria?
Is it worth a draw no bet home win acca?
Not sure what is the current case is in Nigeria but I’ve read some pretty bad things in the past on what can happen to the visiting sides, all home sides are odds on bar the Wikki Tourists at a shade over Evens. All 9 pays a tad under 5/1 on the DNB with Sky but may get better elsewhere, Wikki are playing Kano who have only managed 1 away win and no team in the division has achieved more than 3. Home records are still superb for all teams but things do seem to have improved in terms of away victories. I think it’s one of them like Greg does in French Ligue 2 if you backed it every week you could potentially profit from it in the long term, the last round of fixtures on 15th March in all 10 games there were 9 home wins and 1 draw so very close and you would probs be looking at odds of 40/1 to 60/1 each week depending on who is playing who if you backed all games with home victories.
I’m from Nigeria, home team has chances of 60% assurance to win or draw. I will look at them tomorrow and post somethings.
Goodnight from me.
Seen all the games of table tennis you can bet on talk about trying to rob us
Turkish Super Lig
Goztepe vs Rizespor
Over 3.5 2nd Half Cards @ 17/20
*Medium Stake*
**LOST** – Only two 2nd Half Cards and they were incredibly soft, that second Goztepe goal took all life out the game. Comfortable home win.
UEFA are being a tad optimistic with their plan for having the Champions League and Europa Finals in late June.
personally, I don’t think we will see any football for quite a while yet. Wouldn’t be surprised if it don’t start again till September/October as the Uk isn’t likely to reach its peak for another 10 to 14 weeks.
Even when it does, there’s nothing to say this won’t happen again next winter.
It would be easier if the government set up a system where healthy people such as athletes/ footballers could just check in, get the virus and then get it over and done with and achieve immunity rather then self isolating to avoid it.
They should treat it like chickenpox and get the players together so they can all catch it.
As it is next season (presuming there is one, as we might be still finishing this one instead) there is likely to be players / managers / coaches testing positive and matches postponed throughout the season.
I think everyone is underestimating how long this is going to drag on for. Sky will be showing subuteo matches at this rate so people on this site can have something to bet on.
That’s never going to happen- what about their families for one thing. For all we love sport and miss it, players are just the same as everyone else and shouldn’t be treated differently.
This season will end up being declared null and void,there is absolutely no way it can be completed given they are expecting the virus to be at its peak in the UK come July which is a real shame and yes Liverpool should be given the title they earned it. Miss watching and having a wee flutter on the footy but the greatest worry for these isles is the lack of action by that buffoon Boris and the state the Tories have left the NHS with their decde of cutbacks which is going to cost many lives,those b’st’rds { forgive my french} should be charged with genocide.
***decade***
Spot on Sean. Well said .
Of course the Leagues will be completed they have already said that.Euros are cancelled in order to accommodate that.Football behind closed doors won’t be a problem.
Macca are you deluded? Every Everton player and member of staff will test positive for Coronavirus when your due to play them ????
I think there are very few athletes willing to risk getting severe pneumonia and damaged lungs for life.
Let’s not forget. This thing IS killing people daily. Sport can wait for whatever length of time it takes until it’s safe to resume. And that I think is what they will do. None of us know just how bad this virus is going to get or how far and wide it’s going to spread, far and wide it would appear. It is what it is- a game of wait and see. Hope you and your families all stay well.
I’m sure it will all be worth the wait ???
Clubs have committed to complete all domestic duties by the 30th June.It’s going to be behind closed doors (except sky sports of course???).
Where you get your information from is beyond me. The Premier League meet on Thursday to discuss the possibility of finishing the season.
Just starting Chile Primera B

Asking for a Liverpool fan.
???
Get yourself subscribed to sky sports and you will see Uefa have asked clubs to complete the season by 30 June.Players will return to training in a weeks time,some have already started.
No one has a definitive date as to when this ends. June 30 is their hope but it’s not a certainty.
Italy, France, Spain, Germany total lockdown.
Its only a matter of time before total lockdown here
I think football is the last thing on a lot of peoples minds.
If they don’t catch it good chance you might lose your job.
