Weekend footy betting (13th Feb)

silentbob

It's time to attempt to take a few quid from the bookies again. I could do with a winner (unless I happen to win £113m on the Euro lottery tonight). As usual I've gone for 3 different bets.

Main accumulator

Coventry to beat QPR (H) @ 11/10

Middlesbrough to beat Peterborough (H) @ 4/7

Norwich to beat Brighton (A) @ 5/6

Millwall to beat Exeter (H) @ 8/15

Shrewsbury to beat Hereford (H) @ 4/5

The 5 way on this currently pays 15/1.

Coventry will be in buoyant mood after turning over Forest in midweek (thanks for that, the one game that busted my midweek coupon!). Quite simply Rangers have been absolutely atrocious recently having won only one of their last 13 league games home & away. Boro have started to pick up slowly under Strachan and should see off a weak Peterboro' side who have yet to win on the road this season. Norwich have been strong lately with last weeks narrow defeat at Millwall being their first league defeat for 11 games (of which, they've won 10). Millwall have only lost 1 at home in all competitions all season & have beaten both Leeds & Norwich there too. Exeter have won only 2 & lost 8 of their last 11 league games so should pose minimal problems. Shrewsbury have lost only 1 of their last 8 league games whilst Hereford have managed just 1 away win all season.

Long shot

Forest to beat Doncaster (A) @ 5/4

Leeds to beat Leyton Orient (A) @ 4/5

Colchester to beat Stockport (A) @ 8/11

Bury to beat Chesterfield (A) @ 15/8

Southampton to beat Pompey (H) @ 15/8

Birmingham to beat Derby (A) @ 6/5

These 6 currently pay a massive 126/1 so well worth risking a pound.

Forest will want to get themselves back on track after 2 consecutive away defeats at Derby & Coventry. Leeds have started to pick themselves up again after a poor January & Colchester should turn over the division's whipping boys at Edgeley Park (Stockport have drawn 2 & lost 14 of their last 16 league games!). Chesterfield & Bury should be a tight game but Bury have been in better form out of the 2 having won 7 & drawn 1 of their last 8 league games. Saints/Pompey is a pure instinct bet. They've been good at home & will really be looking to add to Pompey's troubles. Despite the fact that Derby have been in decent form themselves of late, Birmingham should be too strong for them but it'll be close.

Over/Under

Preston/Blackpool - OVER 2.5 @ 10/11

Middlesbrough/Peterborough - OVER 2.5 @ 5/6

Brighton/Norwich - OVER 2.5 @ 5/6

Huddersfield/Swindon - OVER 2.5 @ 5/6

Millwall/Exeter - OVER 2.5 @ 10/11

The 5 way here is currently paying 21/1.

As ever, good luck to all those having a flutter this weekend & let's see if we can't sting 'em for a few quid.

p.s. Not sure if anyone has seen it, but Skybet has changed it's layout & seem to have a few new features on there. It loads up as usual but if you click in the top right of the screen you can try the new beta version. Seems a bit better to me but will take a bit of getting used to navigating round it.

Was panicking a bit Jay. Thought we had all given up!!!!

Got my coupons and a generous supply of Beer to hand.

Let the Studying begin...........

I know it's not football but Sky are doing enhanced odds on the boxing treble of Cleverly, Mitchell and Chisora winning tomorrow night, currently at 4/9. Not massive i know but they're all strong favourites and they should all stroll to wins.

I'll be studying the football in the morning.

emilyegg

No studying needed for you Quagmire...........

You WILL be on Swansea at 13/8.

PLEASE!!!!!!! (as a favour)

emilyegg

Good Boxing shout as well Quagmire, I propose to have the Missus train fare on it. This way she can get a Taxi when she comes to stop over with you.

Giggety!

Quagmire72

I may throw 8p on the Swans tomorrow.

emilyegg

The 21p return could buy her a Freddo, with some change leftover.

You guess right mate, he obviously enjoys the the glamour ties against Scunthorpe and Barnsley so much that he wants to do it all again next season.

Yeah a draw isnt bad, but Quagmire could have made it a win so easy.

WOO-HOO! I always keep my stakes quite small as betting for me really is for a bit of fun.

I had £2 on the 5 way & 60p each on the 4 folds so picked up £62.94 in total.

Gonna have a look to see if there's anything of interest for tomorrow too

silentbob

Not a huge amount about for tomorrow so I've gone for a little mix n match

KLASNIC TO SCORE IN 90 MINS @ 5/2

FULHAM / NOTTS CO - OVER 2.5 GOALS @ 5/6

AGBONLAHOR TO SCORE IN 90 MINS @ EVENS

I've had £2 at odds just under 12/1 (11.83 to be precise)

If you prefer a more straight forward treble then I'd go for Bolton/Spurs to draw with Fulham & Villa both winning. That treble returns a little under 6/1

HartshorN

Brentford let me down on my Accy today. A brentford team impecable at home, against a team in the relegation zone, with a poor away form.

Always the one game.

I know the odds weren't great but did anyone take up my boxing tip? Chisora, Mitchell and Cleverly cruised it.
