Sports betting: Ireland are the Five Nations value at 40-1
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.NEVER FALL into the trap of trying to back the winner. That is the value-seeking punter's mantra. And, while favourite backers may feel that, in tipping Ireland at 40-1 with the Tote for the Five Nations' Championship, said hazard is being circumnavigated with certifiable ease, an upset is possible. England and France both have to travel to Ireland, Wales are doubly handicapped by a lack of pace and no home games and Scotland have two hopes (Bob Hope and no hope).
Tottenham v Wimbledon: Will it ever end? Tomorrow's FA Cup fourth round replay must produce a result but, given the stalemates between the pair in recent weeks, a draw is the bet over 90 minutes. Chelsea may make the most of their second chance against Oxford on Wednesday, while Manchester United can beat Derby in their premiership game.
