Weekend footy betting (27th/28th)
Right peeps, it's that time again. I can smell a winner. I've come so close in the last 2 weeks it's unreal. On 3 occasions I've been 1 goal away from winning decent amounts (I would've been up over £200!).
4 different bets this week (he who dares & all that!)
Main Acca:
Everton to beat Wolves (A) @ 11/10
Millwall (-1) to beat Stockport (H) @ 5/6
Chesterfield to beat Hereford (H) @ 4/6
Rochdale to beat Grimsby (H) @ 2/5
Livingston to beat Queens Park (A) @ 8/11
These 5 are paying 14/1
Everton are in cracking form at the moment having only lost once home & away in their last 6. They got a cracking result at Man City in midweek too inflicting their 1st home defeat of the season. Whilst Wolves have picked up 7 points from their last 3 games (all on the road as well) it should be noted that 6 of these points came against 2 of the most out of form teams in the division at the moment. The point they gained at Villa last week was a good one, no doubt about that, but they got lucky with both their goals there & Villa have been indifferent themselves recently. Everton will provide a much tougher test for McCarthy's men & 11/10 is too good to turn down imo.
Millwall have the best home record in League 1 having only lost once there all season. The general price of 3/10 offers no value so the handicap bet is a better proposition. Stockport have been poor anywhere this season let alone on the road! Surprisingly though they don't have the worst away record in the division but they have lost 10 of their 17 on the road conceding 28 goals in the process.
Chesterfield let me down BIG time last weekend when they conceded an equaliser at Burton with the last kick of the game, but here they're up against a team who have only won once away from home all season. They've lost their last 7 on the bounce.
Rochdale are running away with this division now. Despite going 2-0 down early in the 2nd half at Accrington last week, they managed to bounce back with 4 goals of their own to take the points. They have the best home record in the division & come up against a Grimsby side who have only won twice away from home all season. Grimsby got a good result last week beating Bournemouth at home but a trip to Spotland is a whole different ball game.
It's no surprise that Livingston are the form team of the bottom tier in Scottish football being the leaders. They come up against a Queens Park side who have one of the worst home records in the division having won just 5 from their 14 there.
Long Shot:
Man Utd (-1) to beat Bolton (A) @ 11/10
West Brom to beat Reading (A) @ 11/8
Middlesbrough to beat Watford (A) @ 6/4
Swindon to beat Hartlepool (A) @ 5/4
Norwich to beat Leeds (H) @ EVENS
These 5 are currently paying a whopping 55/1.
The general price of 4/9 for Utd to win at the Meccano (sorry, Reebok) stadium isn't worth it imo. Although Bolton have been better in recent weeks they're up against a Utd side who are closing in on yet another title & a couple of records too. Goal difference could also play a part in deciding where the silverware ends up this year too so I expect some goals from Rooney & co.
With the exception of Newcastle, Reading & West Brom are THE form sides in the Championship at the moment. It's gonna be tight but I think West Brom will just nick it taking another step back to the top flight.
Boro have started to look a little better recently & they come up against a poor Watford side who have gradually found themselves sucked into a relegation battle.
Hartlepool are reasonably decent at home but they're not fighting a relegation battle for no reason. Swindon can still nick automatic promotion (although it's probably unlikely) & at the very least will want to cement their play off place.
Leeds have been shocking by their standards recently. The home defeat to Millwall on Monday night would've hurt them and confidence is low at the minute. The last thing they want right now is to be going to the league leaders who can open up an 11 point gap at the top with 3 points here (and probably the title to go with it too). It's gonna be close but I think Norwich will edge it.
Draw Acca:
Barnsley/Doncaster @ 9/4
Derby/Leicester @ 12/5
Huddersfield/Charlton @ 9/4
Notts Co/Rotherham @ 5/2
These 4 are currently paying a huge 125/1
Draws are very hard to pick out (hence the huge odds) but these 4 look a decent call to me.
Under/Over Acca:
Birmingham/Arsenal - OVER 2.5 @ 8/11
Derby/Leicester - UNDER 2.5 @ 4/6
Reading/West Brom - OVER 2.5 @ 8/11
Swansea/Ipswich - UNDER 2.5 @ 4/7
Norwich/Leeds - OVER 2.5 @ 4/5
Crawley/Stevenage - OVER 2.5 @ 11/10
These 6 are currently paying 29/1
Good luck to everyone having a go tomorrow. Let's hope that at least one of us can pick up some decent money for a change!
Be lucky

Brum 1-2
Chelsea 2-0
Hull 1-1
Spurs 5-1 (sorry pompey fans)
West Ham 2-1
Wolves 0-1
I dont like to pick my bets until Ive got saturdays sun, I find favourite+score very helpful.
Good luck all.
Maybe we should start a separate thread each week for the super 6 predictions? Keeps things a little clearer maybe? fwiw though, here's my S6 predictions:
Brum 1-3 Arsenal
Chelsea 2-1 Villa
Hull 1-1 Fulham
Spurs 3-1 Pompey
West Ham 0-1 Stoke (please let me be wrong on this one!)
Wolves 0-2 Everton
Does anyone know if Milner Dunn and co passed their scans and are fit to play ?
Ok my Banker is
Spurs 2/9
Manu 4/9
Colchester 8/13
Millwall 2/7
Only pays 3.67/1 and had £20 on it, will make a small profit should this come in. United look the dodgiest team if you beleive the press, as were suppose to be resting laods of players for the bayern munich game but even if we do we should be strong enough to win.
Another big fancy is
Bristol Rovers 4/5
Chesterfield 7/10
Rochdale 2/5
Shrewsbury 4/9
This pays 6.17/1 and again ive had £20 on it, both the above bets are with blue square.
Ive had a £5 double on
Birmingham 6/1
Villa 15/2
This pays a big 59.5/1 with skybet (unusualy for skybet to best odds). I really beleive both teams can take points today, Birmingham are good at home and Arsenal have injury worries, whilst chelsea apart form the portmouth game have looked very dodgy recently.
Finally Ive had £5 on 5 away wins in the championship
Cardiff 7/4
Leiscester 9/5
Bristol City 13/8
Westbrom 13/8
Boro 6/4
This pays a massive 132.14/1, dont normally like betting early kickoffs (cardiff) but since ive ghot other bets gonig ive stuck them in.
Good Luck All

however bristol rovers nd norwich both scored late goals to keep my bet alive. it's up to palermo and lyon now so one of those is bound to drop points lol altho I no that's no conselation for you
keep going and hopefully that luck will change
i did
Havant and waterlooville 8/11 - win

Millwall - 1 5/6 - win
forfar 11/10 - win
5 pound got me back 100 which i put 20 pound on over the weekend so nice lil profit, any1 got any tips for tomorrow?
Well done Rhodesey, good to here someone winning some money. I haven't even thought about tommorrow yet but I would guess Saints will win, as will Real Madrid, Liverpool and Sevilla.
Lyon have just won and so now i'm relying on Palermo to win me 200 quid.
I have never wanted a team to win so much lol
i'm afraid the price has crashed but get what you can on it
as i've been told it's like having a licence to print money....gl
It was in midweek there was thousands put down on a 1-1 draw on some italian game.
And woosh the game ends 1-1
Wish i had got involved with this gamble...like u say its like having a license to print money lol
