Weekend footy betting tips
I like to have a flutter on the footy so thought I'd share my thoughts for the final weekend action. I'll be going for Arsenal to beat Stoke, Blackburn to beat West Brom, Liverpool to beat Spurs, Chelsea to beat Sunderland & West Ham to beat Boro. The 5 way pays around 16/1 which is too good for me to turn down.
For the play-offs, I'm going for Burnley, Millwall & Gillingham all to win outright which if I remember correctly is paying about 7/1. The games are too close to call for 90 minute bets.
As a long shot I'd go for Villa/Newcastle, Manyoo/Hull & Fulham/Everton all to be draws. This is paying a big 39/1!

I've decided to wait untill next season before trying anymore footie accumulators, don't think i've won one all season. But had I given this weekend a go, my bets wouldn't be too dissimilar to yours I'd think.
we are thinking of setting up a sporting preview/ betting tips blog. it'll be a bit of fun and we'll hopefully get some of our odds compliers from Sky Bet involved. what do you think?
For a while I refused to bet on Arsenal this season cos they kept letting me down (losing away to Stoke!).

But corals have cardiff at8/11. So a £10 double will pay £24.95. 5p short of 6/4.
Also alot of people dont realize that a 1/2 +a 1/3 double pays evens, but wait till the season is a month old before you look for those. but dont do them on scottish games cos they lose more often than they should. I back singles mainly cos I like to win 60-70% of the time. Good luck for saturday Ihope all 10 win for you, Graham. 4/5 + 4/6 pays 2/1.
This weeks bet perming any five from six + Acc on:
Ipswich 13/8
Watford 11/10
Reading 10/11
Palace 10/11
Derby 10/11
Cardiff 4/6
Norwich clearly have not read the script. 0-5 down at HOME at HALF TIME!!!!!
Still can't get over Norwich though. Shipping 7 at home! The mind boggles
Leeds tonight@4/5 + Southampton tomorrow@4/5. A 9/4 double.
i mainly do pre season bets years ago i used to do forecasts & tri-cast so for this weekend i've gone for a Yankee on
Chelsea home
Spurs home
WBA away
Notts Co. away
like your thread m8
check this thread out....
get your predictions in there as well and win yourself £100,000!
I'll wait until later in the week before posting my shouts this week (probably not Norwich again though, lol)
there is a few skypoker players members of the site (bigshann, bigcarp, monsta, skidz) to name a few
2 weeks ago had a winning 10/1 4fold and 26/1 6fold and fulhams 88th min goal vs vetra let down a 115/1 acca
You dont have to take my word for it go to the tables and ask bigshann, bigcarp or skidz and theyll tell you how profitable the site is.
its all free and we are a friendly bunch, if you want details of the site just message me. take it easy and be lucky
fulham to beat portsmouth DNB
first of all fulham at 2/1 is great value. They have a good pre season and had a great 6-0 aggregate win over vetra. portsmouth last season scored 38 goals
crouch 11
defoe 7
johnson 3
thats 21 (55%) goals scored by 3 players who are no longer even at the club, they havent made any signings to replace those players and are probably going to lose more players. I think its going to be a very tough season for pompy. Fulham arent great travellers but last season had a great season and hodgson has them going in the right direction, even if you want to play it safe on opening day fulham draw no bet looks the answer (cant see fulham losing) also fulham are unbeaten in there last 3 visits to fratton park with 2 1-1 draws and 1-0 win
arsenal to beat everton @ 7/5
arsenal had a poor season last season (couple of poor seasons now) but alot of people forget they have had no luck whatsoever the past 2 seasons and longterm injuries to big players. If they can keep there big players fit they will be more of a challenge to utds title than liverpool will. arsenal looked superb vs atletico madrid and rangers and the likes of van persie, fabregas, arshavin etc etc if fit will be some team this year. arsenals problems is defensivly, everton have done great recently under moysey but i have a feeling things arent going to be so good this year and can see them maybe 8th-9th come may
arsenal are unbeaten in last 3 games at goodison with 2 wins and a draw
man city 6/5 away to blackburn? id love to meet the odds compiler who made that one up lol. i wouldnt back man city away from home with free money. one of the worst away teams in the prem league last season. far too much is being made of their money. they still have a manager who is incapable of kkeeping all thosep layers happy or even has the tactical nouse to challenge for a title (he will be gone by xmas..get on!!) and the players they have bought are not title winning players, man city make the top 4??? dont make me laugh!!
one good thing to come out of it is the fact man citys opponants will be OVERPRICED every game, man city have won just 1 of there last 12 games vs blackburn and that was last seasons 3-1 home win, away to blackburn they have a poor record with no wins in last 6 and just 1 win in 9........... 6/5 on an away wiin!! funny
stoke vs burnley under 2.5 goals @ 1.70 and under 1.5 goals @ 3.20
last 7 games between these 2 sides have all ended under 2.5 goals with 6 of those 7 ending under 1.5 goals, the last 6 times burnley have visited stoke the result has been......1-1, 0-1, 1-0, 0-1, 1-2, 0-1
another interesting stat is the fact burnley have only lost 1 of their last 8 away games against stoke with 5 of those 8 games wins
you want my bets from the other leagues checkout the site, im not writing them all here ill be here all day lol
me and my members had another great night last night (bigshann is very happy) my picks were...
millwall to beat b'mouth @ 1.73 (4-0)
west brom to beat bury @ 1.73 (0-2)
gillingham to beat plymouth @ 2.50 (2-1)
cardiff over 2.5 goals @ 1.70 (3-1)
brentford under 2.5 goals @ 1.95 (0-1)
4folds from 5......
all 5 won and ive now had 13 winning bets from 15 from my 4folds from 5 since i started after getting 4 out of 5 first 2 times and 5/5 last night
5 £2 4folds (£10 stake) returned £131.81
over £150 profit in a week for just £10 stakes, one member has followed the 4folds for £10 each (£50 staked) since the start 10 days ago and is nearly £700 in profit
my banker of the night......cardiff to win by 2 or more goals @ 2.20 last also landed after a 3-1 win.

hi Bob
great start chelsea win so 1 down 3 to go on footy also got 3 of these selections on me 8 accumalator for the week (other sports) you'll find them on A-Z of Sports thread
good luck with your bets this week m8
dtw
wow 3 out of 3 so far go on the Spurs
how would you feel if spurs won, notts co won and west brom won then chelsea never managed a fluke 92nd min goal and your bet lost all a an extra few pennies odds 1.22 make.
1.22 shots and was the hardest win of the 3 so far and were lucky to get all 3pts, 2nd goal was a fluke and 1st goal was never a freekick in a million years.
gl with spurs hope they win for you
