    He was on Loan at Braintree town 2 years ago, and thats my home town club and they were raving about good he was back then, and this year when i decided to look in to backing Gillingham there were just pages on pages of Gillingham supporters talking about how good he was becoming in a short space of time. plus he banged in a load of goals pre season, From what I have seen so far hes very much like a League 1 Frank Lampard.

    Ive had a small bet on him playing for England in the next 3 years at 100/1... which is very unlikely but Lambert and Lallana managed it so definitely not impossible.

    League Cup Round Two tonight. The profitable line in the first two rounds is to back the outsiders. Probably not as many shocks in Round Two as Round One where eleven sides lost to teams from a lower division.

    Last year there were eight wins for teams against higher division sides (Doncaster won at Watford, Sheff Utd won at West Ham, Shrewsbury won at Leicester, Sheff Wed won at Burnley, MK Dons beat Man Utd, Orient won at Villa, Bradford beat Leeds and Burton beat QPR) & a similar number tonight wouldn't be a major upset. Certainly backing anyone odds on in the first two rounds is terrible value, particularly in accumulators.

    Probably the best thing to do is back teams individually although backing in doubles and/or trebles might appeal as well.

    Here are some of the decent odds available:

    Notts County 8/1
    Gillingham 7/2
    Burton 7/2
    Bury 9/2
    Shrewsbury 8/1
    Doncaster 5/2
    Hartlepool 9/1
    Rochdale 7/1
    Luton 11/2
    Northampton 9/1
    Portsmouth 9/4
    Carlisle 9/1
    Rotherham 9/2
    Oxford 7/2
    Exeter 7/1
    York 12/1
    Walsall 2/1
    Barnet 10/1
    Port Vale 9/1

    Take your pick which ones that you go for. Under dogs appear to do equally well at home and away at this stage so we shouldn't be put off by apparently difficult away trips. I look for a reason for the favourite to trip up - poor league form, resting players, underestimating opponents and prefer underdogs in form but often teams with poor form pull off cup shocks at this stage.

    I have gone for a combination of singles, doubles and trebles tonight and hopefully a couple of results will be enough to get a small profit. if we lose, we don't lose much.

    What i will be doing is waiting til the line ups are announced, Il find 3/4 teams who have rested very few players and seem to be going for it and il back them in a small acca, and then the teams who have left some of their bigger names out i will be backing against them in singles. fingers crossed for a profitable night

    Usually the first two rounds of the LC are pretty profitable.

    Resting players can be a method of selection but is not foolproof. In the last round, three of the five higher ranked teams that made the fewest changes went out, one drew over 90 minutes with only one being a winning bet. Often fringe players perform well as they try to prove themselves.

    Most likely, the teams that rested players in R1 will rest players again and teams that played a full strength team will probably do so again.

    Bradley Dack is only on the bench for Gillingham tonight which is very annoying as 4/1 for anytime goalscorer was going to be my biggest bet of the night..

    Made a small loss.

    Had Carlisle in a single at 9/1 and a double on Preston & Walsall.

    Had a good run for my money with Notts County, Burton, Exeter, Shrewsbury, Doncaster, Luton, Portsmouth & Port Vale.

    This week Ill be checking the starting line ups before I place my first goalscorer patent, but assuming they are in the starting XI's my picks for this week are:

    RUDY GESTEDE: Aston Villa v Sunderland. Home against a dire Sunderland team it's little wonder he's only 7/2.

    CHRISITIAN BENTEKE: Liverpool v West Ham. Again at home against a team that leaks goals, he's an 100/30 shot.

    SERGIO AGUERO: Man City v Watford. One of world's best strikers v Premier newcomers? An 11/4 selection.

    A 25p patent pays £34.58 am tempted to do more, but if it comes up I'll be happy with that. :)

    Best of luck mate, they all look pretty likely even if the prices are a bit too skinny in my eyes...

    Crystal Palace 10/1. Yes they are away to Chelsea who generally dont lose at home, but things arent quite right there at the minute, Cahill and Zouma are an untested partnership and even though its unlikely i do think a shock is possible, plus Palace are dangerous from set pieces and counter attacks which give them a chance in any game.

    Leicester 5/2. away at Bournemouth who had a great win last week but did there best to chuck it away, they are very similar in styles of play I just think Leicester have a stronger spine which hopefully will prevail in this well balanced match

    QPR & Fulham   both 19/10 and both away to teams who have been poor so far, neither of these teams is playing great so far but they do have far more talent in their squads

    Charlton, 4/1 even though they are away to Wolves who i strongly backed pre season they have been very impressive so far while Wolves have disappointed me so i feel i would be a fool to ignore such a big price

    Gillingham 11/5 Probably getting boring reading that I have back the Gills but again its a great price, and they are away to Peterborough who i havent been impressed with at all.. and again I will be backing bradley dack to score first at 9/1 and anytime at 10/3

    ok you've convinced me.

    Bradley Dack £5 to score anytime @ 3.5

    Other bets for today

    Bournemouth/Leicester over 2.5, Gillingham and Walsall win. £10 treble pays £100.36p.

    Had a cover bet on Dunfermline over 2.5 £30 @ 1.5

    Bookies have cottoned on to the amount of goals in Dunfermline matches, properly won't get 1.5 soon.

    Had a £25 double come in last night for £79 (Bolton under 2.5, Falkirk over 2.5) so its a bit of a free bet today.

    Be lucky.

    Liverpool at 1.33  HILARIOUS.


    West ham won at arsenal, liverpool could only draw 0-0 at arsenal, against a far worse arsenal team than west ham faced. No wonder 98% of people just p iss away money at the bookies. Hardly anyone has a clue what they are doing.

    Same people probably still backing derby @ 1.66 after 2 wins in 16 championship games.

    Can't find a post on any of the threads in this section where you have backed West Ham for an away win.

    Just another punter who can talk a great game once he knows the results??

    Having a a couple more long shot punts for the season in the Champions League top scorer market

    Jonas 100/1
    Torres 125/1

    £5 each way on both

    They both have Astanas in their group who are by far the worst team in the Champions League this year so lots of chances for them players to bag a few goals early on, also i really dont rate Galatasaray so would fancy both their teams to qualify comfortably/

    Overall i spent £550   with £857.50 returns.

    I will be back next season to do the same.
