Get In The Game - with Nigel Ridgway

There has been much speculation this week concerning the future of Sir Bobby Robson at Newcastle, as backers fell over themselves to get on him to be the Next Premiership Manager to leave his job. His team, without a win this season, have also been the subject of a relegation gamble, and are now only 20/1 from 40/1 for the drop!

No such worries for either Liverpool or Arsenal ahead of Saturday's Anfield clash (ko 12.30), while north of the border Rangers take on Celtic in an old firm battle at Ibrox (ko 12.30). Live Nationwide League action throws up an intriguing clash between Derby and West Ham (ko 17.35). The Rams have found some form recently and could be a good bet at 2/1 to nail the Hammers!

Bet In Running service on these matches, including: Match Winner; Next Goal; Next Card; Total Corners; Total Bookings; and Correct Score.

It's a massive weekend for racing with a double header from Newmarket and Longchamp. The highlight of Newmarket's 3-day meeting is the Cambridgeshire Handicap which is likely to have in excess of 30 runners. Should be easy to pick the winner then! Michael Stoute's Akshar (7/1) is the early favourite but the two for money are Shot to Fame and Jazz Messenger who are both at 9/1, the latter trained by last year's winning trainer Gerard Butler.

The race forms part of a 6 race channel 4 programme on Saturday, which means that our popular 4/1 offer will be in operation. Back a winner at 4/1 or over in a channel 4 race and we will give you a free bet to the same stake (up to £50) on the next channel 4 race.

On Sunday, there is considerable British interest in the Arc de Triomphe, with Ireland's High Chaparral (2/1) reported back to his best, and likely to give hot favourite Dalakhani (13/8) most to do. The latter is reported to be 'flying' ahead of the big race, and could be an even shorter price on the day!

Chepstow's televised (BBC) card on Saturday marks another step up in gear for the jumps season, where Paul Nicholls could be the trainer to follow. His Santenay must surely take all the beating in the novice chase granted a clear round!

Here at bet365 we are offering our customers a chance to win a massive £25,000 in an easy to enter competition, linked to our sponsorship of the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on November 1st. Check out our site for full details!

The question for golf punters is whether the real Tiger Woods will stand up in this week's American Express Championship, after a month off during which he must have given his recent wayward game a total makeover? It would be dangerous to underestimate him this week but at 7/2 the value probably lies elsewhere. Ernie Els (8/1) and Darren Clarke (25/1), still fighting it out for the Order of Merit Title, go head to head for what is likely to be the final time this season, while Vijay Singh (10/1) could well make it a fifth straight victory for the over-40 year old brigade in the States. Adam Scott, already a winner on both sides of the Atlantic, has attracted support at 50/1, and he 'will do nicely' at ¼ odds 1st 5!

With extensive TV coverage for this event we will be offering backers the chance to bet In Running, including our exclusive Next Hole betting on selected 2/3 balls, which offers you the chance to bet on the Next Hole Winner, and the Next Hole Total score.

South Africa's young guns arrived in Lahore this week amid heavy security ahead of Friday's one day game against Pakistan. Here at bet365 we make them 8/15 for the match with the hosts at 11/8. Bet on the Top Team Batsman, and on who will hit the most Match Sixes in the game (Pakistan 6/5, South Africa 11/10, 4/1 Tie). Next week's 1st test between Australia (1/20) and Zimbabwe (66/1) looks uncompetitive to say the least!

Snooker's LG Cup breaks off this weekend, and here at bet365, we make reigning world champion Mark Williams (11/4) favourite to carry on where he left off last season. Next in the betting is the unpredictable Ronnie O'Sullivan at 4/1, while John Higgins is third favourite at 6/1. The 'Wizard of Wishaw' surprisingly failed to add to his impressive collection of silverware last season but has vowed to come back stronger this season. Defending champion Chris Small is 50/1 for a repeat!

Some of the early matches look one sided on paper but here at bet365 we will be offering special Handicap betting In Running, as well as betting on the Outright match winner and Next Frame Winner.

Be lucky!

Tampa Bay put themselves firmly back on track with an impressive victory over Atlanta and remain our strong favourites for Super Bowl honours at 4/1. Minnesota (14/1), Seattle (16/1) both maintained their good starts to the season, while unbeaten pair Kansas (12/1) and Denver (15/1) look in for a long battle in the West, particularly after the Bronco's dismantled Oakland on Monday. The two biggest upsets saw Green Bay fried in the desert as Arizona won their first game of the season, and the Browns come back from 12-0 in the final quarter to beat the 49ers, thanks to the heroics of QB Kelly Holcomb, playing despite a hairline leg fracture!

This week's live action throws up what should be a lively encounter between the Titans and the Steelers. Also, can the 'Tuna' return to New York to make it a double over the NY teams, as he brings his Cowboys into town to take on the Jets. Other eye catching match ups have the injury plagued Patriots up against Washington, while Baltimore play host to rampant Kansas.

Bet In-Running on the following Sun Sept 28th games:

TEN Titans @ PIT Steelers - 1:00 pm EST DAL Cowboys @ NY Jets - 4:15 pm EST

The final dress rehearsal for the Breeder's Cup Classic takes place at Belmont Park on Saturday when two stars of the dirt do battle for the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup. Mineshaft, already casting a shadow over the make up of the Classic for which he is 13/8 favourite with us, may find Godolphin's Moon Ballad, having his first run back on dirt since his Dubai World Cup win, a tough nut to crack. Empire Maker misses Saturday's race after picking up an injury and now faces a race against time to be fit for the Classic.

Michael Schumacher could clinch the Formula One title for a record sixth time with victory in this Sunday's US Grand Prix, for which he is 13/8. His nearest rival in the Championship race, Juan Pablo Montoya (6/4), only three points adrift, will of course be pushing him all the way, while Kimi Raikkonen (7/1) can be expected to go well on a track where McLaren had done well in the past.

Other markets on the race include: Pole Position, Podium Finish and Points Finish, while we will also be betting In-Running on Sunday's race.

Loren Roberts will this week be defending his Texas Open title, and there has been plenty of support for him to do so at 25/1. Last week's winner Euro Tour KJ Cho has also been popular at 22/1 back in his adopted state, while there has been some interest in Garrett Willis at 80/1, second in this event last year and playing better recently.

As the action goes live we will be offering our full range of In-Running golf markets including: Outright Winner, Next Hole Handicap/Winner, Next Hole Score, and Next Hole Total.

With several play off positions on the line, the Pirates open the last weekend of the regular NBA season by charging into Wrigley Field to engage the Cubs in battle. Other live games include the Phillies trying to knock off the kings of the NL East, Atlanta, to take the wild card, and the A's in a make or break series against the Mariners.

Bet In-Running on all three games including: Game Handicap/Money Line, Game Total, Will there be a Score in the Innings, and Number of Hits in the Innings.

NASCAR Winston Cup action this weekend … and can anyone stop Dale Earnhardt Junior (5/2) from winning five in a row at Taladega in the EA Sports 500?
