Hi Guys,

Here we are at the start of a new week, I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

Below is the latest Betting Editorial to help everyone overcome those Monday Blues.

Football

Ancelotti in no rush

Carlo Ancelotti will take at least a year off from football management before deciding what to do next.

The Italian, who was sacked by Chelsea last month, is still 25/1 with bet365 to be Fulham's next manager, but insists he will not be taking on any jobs until next summer.

Aston Villa, 10/1 to finish in the top four next season, and Roma are also reportedly interested in the 51-year-old, who said: "I have enjoyed this experience (of coaching in England). I will return to London to organise my life.

"I will take a year off and look around and study how my colleagues work."

Tennis

Murray set to play at Queen's

Andy Murray has recovered from the ankle injury he sustained at the French Open, where he was eventually beaten by Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals, and looks set to play at Queen's, which he is 7/2 with bet365 to win.

The second seed, who has a first-round bye, practised on Sunday and should play Xavier Malisse of Belgium in the second round. Malisse is 1/3 to beat the German world number 99 Matthias Bachinger in round one.

Murray, 24, who suffered a partial tear to a ligament in his right ankle during his third-round meeting with Michael Berrer at the French Open, said: "I felt pretty good physically when I wasn't expecting to because there were a lot of things going on in Paris.

"I moved well, which is a good sign, and my ankle felt better each day. It should be OK."

Rugby League

England suffer Brough blow

Danny Brough will miss the chance to play for England, who are 13/10 to beat the Exiles at Headingley on Friday.

Brough had to be substituted in the second half of Huddersfield's win against Castleford and faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

The Exiles side, which consists of Australian and New Zealand stars currently playing in Super League, are 8/13 to win the match.

After his team's 40-18 victory over the Tigers, Giants' head coach Nathan Brown confirmed: "Danny's going to be missing for a period of time.

"He definitely won’t be able to take part for England which is unfortunate for him as he has earned the right to play in that game."

Australia

NRL

Raiders suffer double blow

The Raiders, who are 40/1 with bet365 to win the Grand Final, suffered a double injury blow in the defeat to the Cowboys.

Terry Campese and Josh Dugan were both forced from the field.

Canberra were reduced to 15 players when Dugan (calf) and Campese (groin) left in the first half.

The Cowboys piled on three tries in the final five minutes to seal their place in the NRL top four.

Dugan is likely to be out of the NSW Origin team for Game II.

Campese was playing his first game since rupturing the cruciate ligament in his knee last September.

He started on the bench but needed to get into the game earlier than expected when Dugan clutched at his ankle after a Tariq Sims tackle.

Rugby Union

Chisholm World Cup dream is over

Australia, who are 4/1 with bet365 to win the World Cup, will need to find a replacement for lock Mark Chisholm.

The Brumbies ace ruptured his cruciate ligament in a tackle from Anthony Aingaa in the win over the Reds on Saturday.

Chisholm has won 58 caps for the Wallabies, and the tackle ended his Brumbies career, as he will move to French club Bayonne next season.

The 29-year-old was stunned by the injury.

“It's devastating, it's absolutely devastating,” Chisholm told local media.

“I'm in shock. The World Cup is up in smoke now. That's a disappointing way to end - especially because of the things I wanted to achieve this year.”

A former teammate, Faingaa, had been playing on with a hamstring injury at the time and was also severely upset by the injury.

“I could hear him screaming, it was so devastating,” Faingaa told AAP. “It was painful, I could hear it (the knee) go.”

Rugby League

Hopoate stunned by Origin selection

Manly’s Will Hopoate was the surprise Game II selection for the Blues, who are 7/2 with bet365 to win the State of Origin series.

Coach Ricky Stuart opted to select the 19-year-old at left centre in place of the injured Michael Jennings.

Hopoate was stunned – he did not even know the team was being named, and had given himself no chance of being selected.

But the Sea Eagles star, who is quitting the sport at the end of the season to become a missionary, was selected after a recommendation from Manly coach Des Hasler.

He has only played 15 NRL games, mostly at fullback or wing.

Stuart said: “He is a young boy who is an extremely talented and gifted footballer, and I think it will be exciting for him.

“I have spoken to his coach, and he has all the confidence in the world in him handling this opportunity, even though he is only young.

“He has been playing a lot of left edge. They have been playing him centre, winger and also a bit of fullback.

“He handled City-Country very well, and obviously some injuries to key personnel have opened doors for Will.”

Baseball

Red Sox pile on A's Misery

Fresh off a sweep of the Oakland Athletics, the Boston Red Sox - who are 4/7 to win the American East League with bet365 - will open a nine-game road trip with three games against the New York Yankees.

Seven-game winner Jon Lester will get the call for Boston as they look to close the gap at the top of the division. The Yankees are 8/5 with bet365 to win the American East League.

Baseball

Twins sweep four from Royals

The Minnesota Twins - who are 70/1 outsiders to win the American League Central with bet365 - will send Scott Baker to the mound to face the slumping Cleveland Indians at Progressive Park, a day after completing a four-game sweep over the Kansas City Royals.

The Indians - 21/20 with bet365 to win the American League Central - will counter with Josh Tomlin as the Tribe attempt to reignite their offense.

Baseball

Pujols rounds into form against Cubs

The division leading Cardinals - 5/4 to win the National League Central with bet365 - and the suddenly red hot Albert Pujols, travel to Houston to play the Astros as Jake Westbrook gets the start for St. Louis.

Beset by injuries to significant players, the Cardinals have managed to stay strong while waiting for their All-Star first baseman to wake from his early season slump. The Cardinals defeated the Chicago Cubs 3-2 to ensure a three game home stand sweep, with Pujols hitting a walk off home run in extra innings for the second consecutive day.

Baseball

Vogelsong strong again for Giants

The San Francisco Giants - 5/7 with bet365 to win the National League West - will send Tim Lincecum to the hill as John Lannan and the Washington Nationals arrive at AT&T Park for the first of three.

The Giants followed up their most recent successful road trip by taking two of three games from the visiting Colorado Rockies, who are 4/1 to win the National League West with bet365.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me other any other member of the bet365 team.

Thanks,
