SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
It was a great day for SBC News in the Tipster Challenge at Epsom, as a late win on Finelcity (9/1) gave us a lead of more than 7 points at the top of the leaderboard.
The Guests, well represented by Michael Whittle (Sports Acquisition Executive at Betfred), matched SBC’s other two wins on Medburn Dream (9/2) and So Mi Dar (3/1).
Meanwhile, it was a disappointing outing for Stephen Harris of bettingexpert and Timeform, as they collected just 3.00 points apiece and remain in 3rd and 4th place.

- Normal Equilibrium – 4/1
- So Mi Dar – 3/1
