Footie betting (Sat 30th Jan)

edited February 2010 in The Shed
Yay! It's the weekend. Loads of footie to get stuck into & more the point, loads of opportunities to sting the bookies for a few quid.

Once again, I'll be having 3 bets this weekend. My usual accumulator, the over/under market & my longshot.

Here are my picks for tomorrow.

Accumulator:

Forest to beat Derby (A) @ EVENS
Bristol Rovers to beat Wycombe (H) @ 4/6
Charlton to beat Tran-mere (H) @ 1/2
Aldershot to beat Grimsby (H) @ 8/13 
Rotherham to beat Macclesfield (H) @ 8/13

The 5 way on this is currently paying a little over 11/1 (11.38) which, considering there's 4 home games there. is good value imo. For the reasons below I'll also be perming 4 from 5 too.

Forest are in superb form at the moment. They've won their last 4 league games & are unbeaten in their last 19 home & away in the league! Derby have been very hit & miss recently having only won 2 of their last 9 league games. Given current form & this being a local derby this one could well be my coupon buster but with these odds I'm taking a gamble. For the other 4 choices, all have been very strong at home this season. To be honest, I'm really surprised that Aldershot are at the price they are. Given the respective home & away form of the 2 teams they should be a LOT shorter than 8/13. Get on it.

Over/Under market:

Fulham/Villa - UNDER 2.5 @ 4/6
Derby/Forest - OVER 2.5 @ 11/10
Norwich/Hartlepool - OVER 2.5 @ 4/6
Shrewsbury/Accrington Stanley (exactly!) - OVER 2.5 @ 5/6
Notts Co/Barnet - OVER 2.5 @ 8/11

The 5 way on this is currently paying a little under 16/1 (15.79) so well worth a couple of quid.

Fulham & Villa have both struggled for goals of late & I just can't see many popping up here. Derby & Forest shared 5 goals between them at the City Ground earlier in the season & Forest are also scoring for fun at the moment. Norwich, Shrewsbury & Notts Co are all strong at home and are more than capable of knocking a few in.

Longshot:

Birmingham/Spurs - DRAW @ 9/4
Fulham/Villa - DRAW @ 12/5
West Ham to beat Blackburn (H) @ EVENS
Colchester to beat Leeds (A) @ 5/1
Swindon to beat Southend (A) @ 11/8

This 5 way is paying a shade under a HHHUUUUUUUGGGGGEEEE 314/1 (313.93)!!!! I always like having a small longshot each week & can't believe this returns so much when you look at it a bit more in depth.

Birmingham have been difficult to beat in the last 8 weeks or so (Chelsea in midweek aside) & Spurs can be very hit & miss away from home. Fulham & Villa have both struggled for goals recently (except when Villa have played Blackburn strangely!). My boys will be disappointed with anything less than 3 points against a Blackburn team who have won away in the league just once all season. Plus (hopefully) Carlton Cole will start & we've got another couple of regulars back this weekend. Quite why Colchester are this big to beat Leeds is beyond me. Yes, they're at Elland Road & yes, they've not been the greatest travellers this season, but let's not forget that Leeds have been on the wrong end of some bad results recently & even Wycombe managed to come away with a point from Elland Road a couple of weeks ago. Again, I'm not sure why Swindon are not a lot shorter than this as they've been in cracking form winning their last 4 & have only lost once in their last 11 home & away in the league. These 5 are well worth a quid.

As ever, good luck with your bets

    Good Looking Stuff Again. Looks like Rochdale (and Bristol C) mucked-up a few bets in mid-week.

    Stay Positive!!

    That Lapdance is not far off Quagmire. Trust Me.

    On a personal note, If I fail again I will have to make do with a vowel and three consonants!





    Will be posting my 9 selections in due course...

    Good Luck to you all.

    Looks like a draw fest for me in the premiership today! 


    Arsenal v Man. UtdMan. City v Portsmouth (City)West Ham v BlackburnHull v WolvesFulham v Aston VillaBirmingham v TottenhamSlightly nervous about expecting Hull, the worst team in premier league history, to get a draw at home
     against an equally poor team. I'll get off the fence for the next selections. 585/1 btw.!

    Same here, you know you should give up when you back a team who have won 7 out of 10 home games and they are playing a team who havent won a single game home or away all season, not a single win think they were on 6 points with 6 draws and the go and win 2-0 bloody berwick.

    To be fair it wasnt the only team to let me down but soooo frustrating

    dam 0-0s have done me today. west ham beat blackburn 9 seasons running, and blackburn haveconceded in every game this season obvious 0-0. and Ithought middlesboro had bought all those players to become a better team. 3out of 3 loses. well i know i get alot more evens winners than losers . So whos playing who in midweek? Its just like a bad beat at poker-you have to keep going.

    Ive hopefully got a good double today.

    Man city @ 3/10.
    Indianapolis 1/2  (no handicaps straight win)

    Double @  19/20.

    I think Tevez eats duracell batteries, from first to 90th minute he just keeps going going going.
    City should win by about 3 goals, + I dont see why the colts cant win by at least 10 points.
    It looks good on paper anyway. but yesterday was awful.

    It was a bit of a minefield this weekend 3 of my 4 perms have crashed and burned but 1 is still running, need sunderland/stoke to be under 2.5 goals and i'll pick up £27.

    Had a single on Burnley /Chelsea over 2.5 goals which recouped all of the outlay on the 4 perms with a small profit so i look at the monday night game as a free bet.
