Saturday Footie Bets
I reckon this turns out at a healthy sum, am i right?
Comments
9 selections, I normally back in the following perms....
36 x 7-Folds
9 x 8-Folds
1 x 9-Fold
SHEFF WED. @ 5/6 V Peterborough
Awful at home but two recent away victories combined with the new manager effect can see off a Peterborough side who have not won away from home in the league this season.
BRISTOL ROVERS. @ 10/11 V Hartlepool
When I bet against Hartlepool, I Carp myself when Jeff Stelling is grinning on Soccer Saturday. However Rovers are strong at home at the minute and won this fixture 4-1 last season
Gillingham V COLCHESTER @ 7/5
Colchester Have won 4 of the last 5 games between the two, including twice at Gillingham. Although they were both Cup (LDV and Carling) Games, they have been in much better form than Gillingham recently.
ROTHERHAM @ 8/15 V Grimsby
Shock result at home against the leagues bottom team in midweek. Cant see lightning striking twice in a row (or a week)
SHREWSBURY @ 5/4 V Dagenham
Both these teams draw a lot of games, but fancy Shrewsbury on the strength of them being due a home win along with the Daggers leaving empty handed on their last 4 visits here.
TORQUAY @10/11 V Burton
Burton have dropped back a bit in the last few months while Torquay have won their last 3 league games at home without conceding a goal. Also won the corresponding fixture in the Bluesquare Prem 2-1 last season.
Queen of the South V DUNDEE @ 11/8
Dundee have lost just once this season. It was here in September by 2-0. However they were a penalty goal and a man down after just 5 minutes of the game. Fancy them to get revenge here.
Dumbarton V COWDENBEATH @ 5/4
Cowdenbeath won 3-0 at Dumbarton in September, are top of the league and are the form team in the division.
As the meerkat says....simples.
Montrose V EAST STIRLING @ 4/5
Montrose have accumulated 6 points all season. East Stirling have won the last 5 meetings between the two, scoring 13 and conceding just 1. Where has that meerkat gone now?.
Please accept my apologies if I have bored anyone to death or if Saturday has arrived before I have finished typing, just wanted to make my picks public this week to see if anyone has more luck than me. Have hit the post a few times this season....must be due one soon!!!!!!
If I have put in any Jonah teams or teams you wouldn`t bet with someone elses cash here are a few alternatives to ponder......
BOLTON @ 4/5 V Sheff Utd
Most of the prem teams will now be fancying a good run in the cup after a few of the Big Guns have fallen by the wayside.
Wolves V PALACE @ 7/2
Maybe McCarthy will be the exception to the above regarding a cup-run. I`d check out the teams just before kick-off on this one.
BORO V SWANSEA DRAW @ 12/5
Don`t ask, just fancy a draw in this game.
West Brom V NEWCASTLE @ 9/4
If the Newcastle team sheet starts off....
HARPER, SIMPSON, S TAYLOR, COLLOCINI, ENRIQUE.....Then 9/4 is Massive
Rangers V HEARTS @ 8/1
Hearts are hard to beat at the Minute, and reports say that Rangers have so many injuries to strikers, Ally McCoist might need to play!!! this will be a 1-0 victory to Hearts or they will get Horsed by at least 4 goals...
I need a lay down now.........
8/9 is a good night out
7/9 is money back with a bit on top
Bolton to beat Sheff U. *
the odds are decent considering its a prem side at home and the Owen Coyle factor surely has to take effect now they're not playing arsenal.
* i really don't know all that much so please don't put your house on or even follow any of my tips
They have just played two hard games for no points and he might decide to rest players because staying in the premiership is far more important than a cup run.
For this reason i usually steer clear of cup games.
If reports are true boro are struggling to field a team claiming they only have 11 players available.
Im on a dman course all day tomorrow so only had £20 on them if id been at home and able to follow it bet would have been much bigger.

There is ALWAYS a coupon buster. Any Single accumulator bet (imo) containing more selections than you can remember just 5 minutes after you have put the bet on is almost certain to be a loser.
Might have a wander to the bookies in the morning to put my bet on....or might hang about to see the team news on the Cup games. There will be a turn up in the Cup games, always is until the Q-F stage normally, so think there could be some potentially corking singles/doubles/trebles on the go.
Heres Hoping.
Cheers
However, in light of your info a wee sneaky single on the Swans could be a saver.
Still think there will be a big price cup shock over the weekend, and Palace are still tempting me @ 7/2
Don`t want to look like a complete Spanner or have to go into Hiding....But I still think that this weeks Coupon-Buster will be HEARTS away @ Rangers in the SPL.
At the Ready Nurse....

Good luck everyone with ya bets.
Unlucky with the Hearts prediction emilyegg, don't take those pills just yet, next week we'll be millionaires.
Nice one Lads, gutted that my own predictions were
I Apologise if anyone followed them and I now feel like a proper
In all seriousness though I am delighted that there are good posters, who are knowledgeable and interested in trying to win a few-bob with thought, rather than lobbing darts at a Ladbrokes coupon. Look forward to more posts from you all. I normally put a bet on Euro/World football on a Sunday and have found this more beneficial than our own game this season.
I will pop 9 - selections on here for Sunday, but due to the fact it feels like I can grab defeat from the jaws of victory at the murr-ment (Mark Lawrenson Impression, Sorry) I will not be placing a bet........
On a personal positive, I was not too gutted to see us Horsed in the cup today, Please don`t mess it up now Mr Ashley......
Cheers Lads!

Did'nt post selection earlier as i was at work.
Saw that Bolton came down in price so must have been well backed.
Be lucky
achill
Had to remove tran mere before i could post first bet???? bit odd.
Please check out an earlier post of mine......not sure if the name of a league 1 team from merseyside may be a sweary-word for an all purpose cleaner or something.
I too was puzzled when I couldn`t post the name and had to tactically use a * instead
whaooo!
