Thursday's market moves
Last updated: 26th June 2008
Crouch: In demand
It's a 2/5 chance with Sky Bet that Peter Crouch starts next season at former club Portsmouth.
Pompey have been linked with the Liverpool striker for a while, though boss Harry Redknapp insists the Reds' valuation remains too high.
But with Crouch also linked to several other clubs, Sky Bet have opened a market on where he'll be playing his football at the start of the new campaign.
It's 2/5 Portsmouth, 2/1 Liverpool, 7/1 Arsenal and 20/1 Aston Villa.
Action replay
After winning the Epsom Derby, New Approach goes for a Derby double at the Curragh on Sunday, with Epsom runner-up Tartan Bearer taking him on again in the Irish Derby.
And Sky Bet are offering 33/1 for history to repeat itself with New Approach beating the Sir Michael Stoute colt by half a length.
All the money has been for New Approach this week and with the possibility of Jim Bolger's runner going off even shorter than current odds of 4/5, Sky Bet have produced prices on how far he will win by, with 4/1 quoted for the son of Galileo to romp home by over three lengths.
Not so Crafty
The third round of matches in the League of Legends darts takes place tomorrow and the highlight of the night sees a repeat of the 1984 and 1986 World Championship final when David Whitcombe takes on Eric Bristow.
Whitcombe may have been totally outclassed in the World Championship matches, losing 6-0 and 7-1, but things should be different tomorrow when the unbeaten Whitcombe meets Bristow.
Sky Bet are offering; 3/10 for Whitcombe to win, 6/5 to win with a handicap of -3 legs and 4/7 to win over 6 legs.
Bristow who lost to Cliff Lazarenko last week, is 5/1 to beat Whitcombe, 6/5 to win with a three leg start and 4/1 to win over 6 legs.
The 11/10 favourite for the tournament Bob Anderson takes on Cliff Lazarenko in the third round and Sky Bet are offering; 1/2 for the 'Limestone Cowboy' to overcome Big Cliff, 5/6 for Anderson to win with a handicap start of -2 and 11/8 for there to be over 11.5 legs in the match.
