Weekend betting tips: Four bets that could make you a fortune

It's a massive weekend of GAA action, with provincial semi-finals and qualifiers taking place in the football and both Leinster and Munster games on in the hurling.

The Republic of Ireland senior team are also in action as Mick McCarthy's men face Denmark on Friday and Gibraltar on Monday in the Euro 2020 qualifiers.

And the U21's can advance to the semi-finals of the Toulon Tournament with a victory over Bahrain on Sunday.

Here's our best bets:

London +6 handicap v Offaly 1.30pm Saturday 11/10

London ran Galway close in the Championship opener and nearly pulled off one of the biggest shocks of all-time.

They face an Offaly side on Saturday who went down 3-18 to 0-14 against Westmeath last month.

If London can repeat that performance away from home, surely they won't be beaten by more than five points.

True Self 2.25pm Haydock Saturday 6/5

Irish champion flat jockey Colin Keane goes to Haydock on Saturday for just one ride - True Self for Irish champion trainer Willie Mullins.

This mare has won her last four races by a combined total of 15 lengths, with the last three of those coming in listed contests.

She faces tough competition in the Group 3 Betway Pinnacle Stakes against a number of previous group winners in Highgarden and Pilaster, but given how True Self won her last few races, she looks the pick of the lot here.

Regular 2.10pm Newmarket Saturday 15/2

Regular might just be the answer to the opening contest at Newmarket on Saturday - the Bentley Cambridge Handicap.

He went close in his first two races this season before scoring at Leicester in his last run.

This is a tougher contest but he has an each-way chance.

Snazzy Jazzy 3.35pm Haydock Saturday 14/1

Snazzy Jazzy could go close at big odds in the Group 3 Betway John Of Gaunt Stakes.

He won a French Group 3 on very soft going when last seen in October, but has won first time out before.

That success was his fifth from ten starts and he also landed the Ayr Silver Cup last season.

Both those wins came with a cut in the ground and with rain forecast for Haydock ahead of Saturday race, he could face similar conditions. 14/1 looks too big a price to ignore.
