Wednesday Football Betting + Weekend Bets
Here comes another Copa Libertadores bet from my side....
As last week, I am gonna bet again on the Cruzeiro (Brazil) v Real Potosi (Bolivia). First game finished 1:1 in Bolivia. So Cruzeiro has the advantage with an away goal. Again I believe the class difference will prevail and expect Cruzeiro to win with at least 3:1. Something like 4:0 or 4:1 would be my final proposition. Since Potosi has to try to win the game they will have to attack, but they are so bad that this is just gonna leave them with no defence (which is very bad anyway) and the Brazilian strikers are just gonna kill them.
Main bet: Cruzeiro -1.75 Asian Handicap @ 1.80
Other bets I locked in already for the weekend are again from Spain:
Spanish Cup (Midweek): Sevilla to beat Getafe
Weekend:
Valencia v Valladolid - Valencia -1.25 Asian H'cap
Osasuna v Tenerife - Osasuna to win

and I had a single on Newcastle too
i'm heading up to the game tonight. i do hope Newcastle win!
Not like Charlton!
You pick from the fixture list all the games where you think both teams will score - Then irrelivant of who wins and who loses you get paid if both score
In example i have picked 7 fixtures from all games this weekend where i thin kboth teams will score. My odds are 66/1 lol
Good fun bet though because you still have a chance of winning until the end of the game. They just have to score
ANy one else tried them? what do yo uthink of them?
I tried it when it first came out.
Wish I did it at the start of this season when everyone was scoring for fun.
thanks quag
gone for a yankee & accum
£1.00
Here are my selections for the weekend
Main bet:
Bolton to beat Fulham (H) @ 5/4
West Brom to beat Plymouth (A) @ 4/5
Huddersfield to beat Carlisle (H) @ 8/13
Accrington Stanley to beat Morecambe (H) @ 11/10
Rochdale to beat Crewe (H) @ 4/6
The 5 way on this is currently paying 21.9/1 so some real value there. It's worth perming in 4 folds as well though.
Fulham are generally poor away from home & have generally been poor anywhere in the last few weeks. They made hard work of beating a poor Pompey side at home in midweek whereas 6 weeks ago they probably would've strolled it. As much as I hate to admit it, Bolton are already starting to look better under Coyle so should sneak this one. West Brom have picked up again having won 3 of their last 4 & won at Blackpool in midweek (not an easy place to go). After an initial upturn in results when Paul Mariner took over a short while ago it seems that normal service has resumed at Plymouth having only won once in their last 5 games. Huddersfield, Accrington & Rochdale have been very strong at home this season and look solid.
Long shot:
West Ham to beat Burnley (A) @ 2/1
Stoke to beat Blackburn (H) @ 6/5
Swindon to beat Charlton (H) @ 6/4
Notts County to beat Grimsby (A) @ 4/5
Man City to beat Hull (A) @ 8/11
A weekend's footy betting ain't a weekend's footy betting without a cheeky long shot! These 5 are currently paying 50/1 so well worth a £1.
Burnley have been difficult to beat at home all season but let's not forget that Wigan have managed it. As my boys now have an abundance of striking options from which to choose I'm very hopeful of coming away from Turf Moor with all 3 points (and boy, do we need them). Stoke are also a difficult side to beat at home & there's too much value in the 6/5 on offer not to include it in here, particularly as Blackburn are not great travellers. Swindon have been in great form having only lost once in their last 13 league games home & away, and don't forget they turned Leeds over 3-0 in their last home game. Charlton have been patchy and are capable of leaving the County Ground with a point but again, the 6/4 on offer is too big to refuse. Grimsby are not 2nd bottom in League 2 for no reason having won only 3 league games all season. Notts County will be buoyed by their midweek cup win at Wigan & should really take the points here. I'm surprised that Man City are this short away at Hull. On paper they should walk this game but Hull have been OK at home this season. Having said that, as a game that can be used to bump up the long shot odds this looks like a decent gamble.
Over/Under Goals:
Man Utd/Pompey - OVER 2.5 @ 1/2
Forest/Sheff Weds - OVER 2.5 @ 5/6
Hartlepool/Leeds - OVER 2.5 @ 4/5
Millwall/Norwich - OVER 2.5 @ 10/11
Scunthorpe/Palace - UNDER 2.5 @ 4/6
These 5 are currently paying out a shade under 15/1 (14.75 to be precise). I'm sure I'm not the only one who expects Man Utd to stick a hatful past Pompey at O.T (cue scrappy 1-0 win, lol). The next 3 pretty much speak for themselves as there's plenty of goals between them all. Choosing under games can be tricky but neither Scunthorpe nor Palace generally have an abundance of goals in them.
Extra Bet:
I normally only stick to the 3 bets above but this week but couldn't resist a cheeky pound on the Super 6 enhanced multiple. I usually stay away from these because I find they don't usually offer any great value but this is definitely worth a £1.
Bolton to beat Fulham (H)
West Ham to beat Burnley (A)
Man City to beat Hull (A)
Man Utd to beat Pompey (H)
Stoke to beat Blackburn (H)
Sunderland to beat Wigan (H)
You can get a massive 65/1 on the enhanced multiples (choosing them as individuals in an accumulator pay 58/1 so you're getting some good extra value).
There are a couple there that have the potential to trip you up but certainly worth risking £1 imo.
Good luck with your bets.
Jay
all down to Newcastle, oo 3-0 after 15 mins
can smell the moneys already
I dont like to finalize my bets until I've seen saturdays Sun.
I feel really upbeat for the weekend footy.

Bristol City
Notts Forest
Sheff Utd
Maccy Dons
Chesterfield
