Nap: York City to beat Weymouth at 1.62
It is very rare that I dip into non league football and rare too that I would tip up such a short price, but the Yorkies really are huge value this weekend. Weymouth's whole first team bar one is refusing to play, as the club has not been able to pay them in 2009, leaving them no choice but to send out their under 18s. They lost 9-0 to Rushden and Diamonds and 2-0 to their return opponents York, and it does not look like it will turn for the better. Alan Hansen may have been foolish to say "you can't win anything with kids" talking about Man United, but I do not think the same applies to a Weymouth team of teenagers. 2pt Win
Seano's shouts: Villegas to win the Honda Classic at 14/1 and Barneveld to win the Premier League without Taylor 3.3
Camilo Villegas is very hot property on the USPGA tour at the moment. The young Colombian has got both male and female spectator's drooling at his powerful ball striking and his athletic good looks. Villegas lost in a play off here two years ago and returns as a more experienced and more rounded player. He has had a good few showings in the last few weeks and loves playing in south Florida. In a relatively weak field he is worth a go at 14/1. 1pt Win
Barneveld has struggled at the start of this year's Premier League but last week's win over Terry Jenkins marks a big turning point for the Dutchman. When Barney hits form only Taylor can beat him, which he did in dominant fashion already this season, and his 167 finish to win 8-3 last time out makes a clear statement that Barney is back in town. 3.3 is a good bit of value for a clear favourite in this market. 1pt win
Horse: Spectait at the 8:50 at Wolverhampton 2.88
Jonjo O'Neill will fancy his chances at Wolverhampton tonight with a great racehorse who has won here before. The nine furlong race tonight is very similar to his previous wins and he is worth a go at 6/4 or above in a weak field. 1pt Win
Outsider: Tottenham to win 2-0 and Keane to score first 40/1
Tottenham seem to have found form of late, beating Hull last Monday, putting up a great fight in the Carling Cup final and demolishing Middlesborough yesterday. Hopefully Yorker punters bought their points at 46 like I advised them to, as another win is around the corner against Sunderland. The Wearsiders have bottomed out recently as they have not been able to keep up their prolific scoring form of early season. The threat of a resurgent Robbie Keane will prove too much and if you fancy a gamble 40/1 is a fair shout. 1/2pt Win
