SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
Battaash provided Stephen Harris with the perfect lift at Bath, as bettingexpert moved back up to 2nd place in the Tipster Challenge table. The 14/1 shot helped them to a week high total of 16.20 points.
Meanwhile, SBC News were able to keep the lead after small point wins on Beausant and Sharjah. The experts from Timeform had a similar day, with a selection of victories on short price favourites.
But for Alex Carr, Affiliate Program Manager of Pinnacle Sports, it was a day to forget. Despite a 3rd place and a pair of runners up, the Guests drop to 3rd after drawing a blank.
