RAGS2RICH's Tips History

11 October 2025

22:00 David Allen v Arslanbek Makhmudov

David Allen

Win Fight

50 WIN

@2.00

Lose

-50

Today is the day we really find out how good Dave Allen is. By his own admission, he's often failed to train and prepare properly for fights. Here he has done everything he could. It's a tall order as Makhmudov once was considered the scariest man in the division. But I don't know if he wants it as badly.

David Allen Decision or Technical Decision

Outcome 5-Way

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

Dave, by his own admission, thinks he will win on points. So I'm going to take his opinion as gospel here. Makhmudov is a tough, strong guy.

21:00 Junaid Bostan v Bilal Fawaz

Bilal Fawaz

Win Fight

50 WIN

@2.88

Win

Fawaz, for me, was robbed in the first fight. He did enough to cause Junaid Bostan problems as a huge underdog, and he could take the fight to him on the inside again here with much more confidence.

Bilal Fawaz Decision or Technical Decision

Outcome 5-Way

50 WIN

@4.50

Win

175

Away by decision. He'll need to be punch-perfect here as the judges will be looking at ways to give it to Junaid, in my mind.

20:00 Josh Padley v Reece Bellotti

Josh Padley

Win Fight

50 WIN

@1.30

Win

Padley is a strong fancy. I think he can get past Bellotti in good fashion here in search for elite honors again.

Josh Padley KO TKO or Disqualification

Outcome 5-Way

50 WIN

@3.50

Lose

-50

Now he's training full-time as a pro, he's a different animal. Body shots will see Bellotti lose here. Unrecoverable body shots.

08 October 2025

18:00 Aris vs Hamburg Towers

Hamburg Towers

Money Line

50 WIN

@4.25

Lose

-50

Hamburg Towers are on a long losing streak, and they haven't been playing their best. But for me, that will have to change sooner rather than later, and they are on a 15-game losing streak. Good odds tonight. They lead in the head-to-heads.

Hamburg Towers 9.50

Pointspread

50 WIN

@1.87

Lose

-50

Hamburg will need to play out of their skins compared to their latest performances, but that can be done. Aris are often a very mixed side. If they turn up, they can score freely. If they don't, they can often make things hard work for themselves.

18:00 Chemnitz 99 vs Lietkabelis

Lietkabelis

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.60

Lose

-50

Chemnitz aren't one of my favorite teams, and I have in the past let that get the better of my judgment when it comes to betting on them. They have a good starting lineup, but they lack quality in depth.

18:00 Djurgarden vs Huddinge

Djurgarden

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.18

Win

They are the much better team in this game. They lead their opponents in the head-to-heads and have proven to be an all-round better side over the last few years in Swedish basketball.

Over 164.50

Game Totals

50 WIN

@1.85

Win

A step too far this total will be, I think. Huddinge will have difficulty getting the better of Djurgarden's tough defense tonight. Hopefully, Djurgarden doesn't play their best offensively and this sails in. Around 150, I think.

18:00 Tofas vs Bnei Herzliya

Bnei Herzliya

Money Line

50 WIN

@3.50

Lose

-50

Bnei Herzliya have been playing relatively well lately in the Israeli league, where basketball is getting very competitive. Tofas are also playing well, so this will be an intriguing matchup. Odds favor the Israeli team, though.

06 October 2025

21:30 Stephen Bunting vs Niko Springer

Stephen Bunting

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@1.44

Win

Bunting, for me, is the most probable winner in this format. I don't know why he's not shorter in the betting, though. That's putting me off slightly.

19:30 James Wade vs Joe Cullen

James Wade

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@1.40

Lose

-50

Wade will be better at hitting the entering doubles, which outside him, smh. Z fear jhsitiib hrrr in this match.

19:00 Chris Dobey vs Cameron Menzies

Chris Dobey

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@1.44

Lose

-50

Chris Dobey will likely be able to see this match out. He's been hitting doubles well recently for checkouts, so this double-in format is suited to him better, I feel.

18:30 Martin Schindler vs Krzysztof Ratajski

Krzysztof Ratajski

Win Match 2-way

50 WIN

@2.25

Win

Interestingly enough, Krzysztof Ratajski leads through the head-to-heads with 5 wins to 2 from 7 games. Admittedly, his dominant performances were a few years ago, but he represents some value here.

05 October 2025

23:16 23:16 Remington Park

Amarona Sioux

Daily Racing

25 EW

@5.00

Lose

-50

Amarona Sioux could be competitive in this grade after some tougher races. Finished first and second in the last two outings, so comes in some kind of form here.

22:56 22:56 Woodbine

Grey Princess

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

Grey Princess isn't an obvious starting point here, but I haven’t been in the realm of picking winners on form at Woodbine lately. Her name stood out.

22:48 22:48 Keeneland

Turf Star

Daily Racing

25 EW

@19.00

Win

Turf Star had a winning debut but now steps up massively in competition. Ridden by Tyler Gafflione, which is a huge plus though. I think he can make the places at a big price if one or two others underperform tonight.

22:48 22:48 Remington Park

Perliano

Daily Racing

25 EW

@13.00

Lose

-50

Perliano is a good value selection to place in this race under the jockey stewardship of Luis Quinonez, who's been in good form. He's good enough to place, though maybe not win.

22:32 22:32 Santa Anita

Proletariat

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

This horse ridden tonight by the jockey Kyle Frey must be in with a chance. This is easier than some recent assignments, but he will need a foot-perfect performance here and a strong pace to aim at.

22:20 22:20 Remington Park

Womans Intuition

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

Woman's Intuition is on the upgrade after some stellar performances and deserves her Sydney in this race. Really good value in my opinion.

22:16 22:16 Keeneland

Thorpedo Anna

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@SP

Lose

-50

Thorpedo should be able to just about nip this race. She's good enough based on speed figures from the last few races to beat the competition.

22:10 OKC Thunder @ CHA Hornets

OKC Thunder

Money Line

50 WIN

@1.48

Win

The clear favorites. The away team has the best winning record in this fixture among the recent head-to-heads. Once demolished the Hornets last head-to-head.

OKC Thunder -4.00

Pointspread

50 WIN

@1.91

Win

Easy win in my opinion. I think the OKC Thunder could be about to do another real job on the Charlotte Hornets here with their players having had a nice rest.

15:30 Afghanistan vs Bangladesh 3rd T20 Match

Afghanistan

Win Match

50 WIN

@1.55

Lose

-50

Afghanistan needs to pull something back here. They are putting in some singularly good performances but just failing to get together properly as a team. That may change today.

R Gurbaz

Man Of The Match

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

Gurbaz has been batting well in this series, and scores of 30 and 40 look like they could be broken today. If he does, he can turn it on for Afghanistan to win today. It really does rest on his shoulders, though.

R Gurbaz (Afghanistan)

Top Team1 Batsman

50 WIN

@3.75

Lose

-50

There will be a lot of pressure on him to perform today in order for this Afghanistan team to finally rack up another win. I think he can do that with this pitch probably favoring the early batters with short boundaries.

PH Emon (Bangladesh)

Top Team2 Batsman

50 WIN

@4.00

Lose

-50

No surprise here. He's been playing well this series, and he could put in another good solid performance wherever he comes in at in the top 3 or 4 today.

04 October 2025

19:10 Willy Hutchinson v Mark Jeffers

Willy Hutchinson

Win Fight

50 WIN

@1.40

Win

Willy Hutchinson will likely be in for a tough night's work. Jeffers' tactics will probably be to come in with a high guard and try to bully the Hutch. He's coming up in weight, but he was a big weight cutter before. Willy Hutchinson is too technical for me. I think his switch stance will confuse Mark Jeffers.

Willy Hutchinson KO TKO or Disqualification

Outcome 5-Way

50 WIN

@3.50

Win

125

Jeffers is tough and game. He's never been stopped in his pro career. But Willy Hutchinson has shown enough to hurt his opponents, and his style can be tiresome for them. 13 KO wins in 18 winning fights. These are good odds for me.

02 October 2025

21:16 9:16 Hove

Coppice Arthur

Daily Races

50 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-50

Copice Arthur from Trap 1 in this sprint race could spring a massive surprise. That trap has the best record in sprints this year at this track.

20:47 8:47 Monmore

Knock Beeswing

Daily Races

50 WIN

@3.75

Win

138

Knock Beeswing looks the most likely winner based on his form at this track and in this grade. Been having some good splits recently.

20:41 8:41 Hove

Eternal Spirit

Daily Races

50 WIN

@1.67

Lose

-50

Eternal Spirit over this long distance from the trap 1 draw is my NAP dogs bet of the night. Honestly, barring any foul play, he's the best dog in this race based on the form we've seen.

20:36 8:36 Newcastle

Jacktavern Lab

Daily Races

50 WIN

@1.44

Win

Jacktavern Lab looks to have a solid chance here but will likely go off short. Even.momeh is fair. Anything less than that is not worth it.

20:31 8:31 Monmore

Bang On Hollie

Daily Races

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

Bang on Hollie. Could be worth taking a chance on in this tight little affair where none truly stand out. She said big price.

20:25 20:25 Delaware Park

Hegs

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

He's a good price and, in my opinion, should be in the top two of the betting based on known form. I'd take the current price as I expect he will shorten closer to the off.

20:24 8:24 Hove

Dazl Hermes

Daily Races

50 WIN

@5.00

Lose

-50

Dazl Hermes is running from Trap 1, and that's our Trap of the day at this meeting. I'm going to be blindly backing them, but to be fair, I've looked at this dog's form, and it would put him in contention.

20:10 20:10 Belmont At The Big A

Shouldve

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

Should've could be a very promising horse! Definitely one to follow after a promising debut win. Fantastic price currently. Wesley wards the trainer and knows his horses well

20:07 8:07 Hove

Bunny Rascal

Daily Races

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

Bunny Rascal is from Trap 1, and that's a trap I'm going to be following at Hove tonight. I think it's going to prove a good move.

19:53 19:53 Delaware Park

Quadra

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

Quadra is a fantastic price here at 7/2 currently. I'd take that price as he will definitely be shortened up in the betting tonight.

19:50 19:50 Thistledown

Midnight Wonder

Daily Racing

50 WINNAP

@SP

Lose

-50

Midnight Wonder has run 11 times at Thistledown and been favourite on 8 of those occasions. Of those 8 times he's started favourite, he's won 5 of them and finished second once. That's as consistent as you'll get from this field, and he's a good price to me.

19:49 7:49 Hove

Jacktavern Mojo

Daily Races

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

Jacktavern Mojo from Trap 4 returns to the second of his previous last two wins. I think he could ping out and be really competitive here.

19:40 19:40 Belmont At The Big A

Behold The King

Daily Racing

25 EW

@6.50

Win

165

Behold The King will be a likely looking winner coming down the stretch. He's in good form and putting in some decent performances. Nice odds to place.

01 October 2025

15:19 3:19 Hove

Bling Bling Dora

Daily Races

50 WIN

@3.75

Lose

-50

Bling Bling Dora in trap 6 has a plum outside draw. While trap 5 might break and dart to the inside, that could cause some trouble.

15:01 3:01 Hove

Shinobi Gail

Daily Races

50 WIN

@4.00

Lose

-50

Shinobi Gail at 3/1 currently represents some value in this race for me, and I will back him to be able to sneak a lead on this field today. Could ping the lids and be gone.

14:48 2:48 Newcastle

Ballymac Service

Daily Races

50 WIN

@2.62

Win

Ballyhackamore Service is sure to be in contention come the winning line, and I think his current price is of fair value.

14:41 2:41 Hove

Laughil Sean

Daily Races

50 WIN

@2.75

Lose

-50

Laughil Sean from Trap 1 is another who will surely be running well today from the inside draw. Wouldn't be quick to discount if he gets an old break.

14:36 2:36 Sunderland

Noirs Jenny

Daily Races

50 WIN

@2.88

Win

Noirs Jenny in trap 4 could put this to bed early. Been in good form, and this grade is more like her usual level. Will definitely give it a run.

14:23 2:23 Hove

Yougo Charlie

Daily Races

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

You give Charlie from Trap 1. Looks like he could be making some late grounds here. But he can usually stay on, and a big price is too tempting.

14:14 2:14 Nottingham

Honour Flyer

Daily Races

50 WIN

@SP

Lose

-50

Honour Flyer, for me, looks to have a plum draw that will suit her style of running. This is a weak race, and she'll be competitive for sure.
