Weekend footy betting (16th/17th)
Thank god the international break is over again. Now it's time to sit & wait to see which team is gonna balls things up for me this weekend!
3 bets for me to start with for tomorrow
Main Acca:
Cardiff to beat Bristol City (H) @ 1/2
Port Vale to beat Gillingham (H) @ 5/6
Shrewsbury to beat Lincoln (H) @ 8/11
Dunfermline to beat Ross Co (H) @ 4/6
These 4 are paying a decent 13/2
Cardiff remain unbeaten at home so far this season & they meet a Bristol City side with only 1 win in the league all season in this lunchtime kick off. Craig Bellamy is back & Michael Chopra is hopeful of playing some part too after spending the last 7 weeks on the sidelines with an ankle injury. Cardiff done the double over the Robins last season winning 3-0 at home & 6-0 at Ashton Gate.
Port Vale have had a little wobble in recent weeks & they let me down big time last weekend when they could only manage a draw at rock bottom Hereford. However they really should see off Gillingham at home tomorrow. The Gills have drawn 2 & lost 3 on the road so far this season & have conceded a whopping 14 goals in those games too! The two draws they have managed on their travels have come against struggling Morecambe & rock bottom Hereford whilst they have also lost at 4th bottom Bradford too. Vale have won their last 3 at home & those victories have all come against top half opposition.
Shrewsbury currently occupy 5th spot in League 2 & are one of four teams in this division who have yet to lose at home this season. They host a Lincoln side who have won one & lost four away from Sincil Bank this season. The Shrews done the double over Lincoln last year & haven't conceded a goal against them in their last four meetings.
Dunfermline are currently in top spot in division one & have won all 3 games at home this season & they come up against a Ross County side who have started slowly this season. In 4 games on the road so far they've won once (on the opening day at Cowdenbeath) & drew at bottom side Morton on their last road trip.
Long Shot Acca:
Manyoo (-1) to beat West Brom (H) @ 4/6
Chelsea to beat Villa (A) @ 5/6
Boro to beat Leeds (H) @ 23/20
Bournemouth to beat MK Dons (H) @ 6/5
Peterborough to beat Swindon (H) @ 10/11
Sheff Weds to beat Yeovil (A) @ 11/8
As usual this does exactly what it says on the tin & is paying a big 65/1.
United have yet to really hit 2nd gear so far this season & this is just the sort of game they need to kick start their season. Sure, they'll be a little wary after the baggies shock win at Arsenal the other week but if they don't win this game comfortably then they don't deserve to be champions come next May.
Despite the fact that Chelsea have got a few players missing this is a decent price. Their reserves are probably worth more than most starting 11's in the prem & although I think it'll be close they should just about have enough to get past Villa.
The ginger ninja is under pressure at Boro after finding themselves in 18th place when they were favourites to win this division this season. Their saving grace here is that their home form is decent enough & Leeds are looking a little shaky of late.
I'm really surprised that Bournemouth are priced this big. They're unbeaten at home so far whilst MK Dons have lost 4 from 5 away from home.
A month ago I would've had Peterborough in my main acca but they're another side who have wobbled a bit of late having recently lost at home to Notts Co & away at Hartlepool last week. In contrast Swindon have picked up a bit themselves recently but I think Peterborough will just shade this. Plus that's also a decent price considering their overall home form this season.
Both Yeovil & Wednesday have won their last 2 games but I'm more than happy to back Wednesday at that price here. Despite a little wobble a few weeks ago they've pushed themselves back into the play off spots & will be going all out to try & cement their place in the promotion picture.
Goals Goals Goals Acca (All are both to score):
Arsenal/Birmingham @ 10/11
Bolton/Stoke @ 5/6
Portsmouth/Watford @ 4/6
Peterborough/Swindon @ 4/6
Huddersfield/Southampton @ 8/11
These 5 five are paying a very tidy 15/1 & the great thing about this bet is that is really doesn't matter if one team is 5-0 up with a couple of minutes to go as you're still in with a chance right until the final whistle. All these teams have got goals in them & are also capable of conceding as well which always helps!
Happy betting peeps

Thank god you mighty Bluebirds!
+ SHREWSBURY home to lincoln 8/11 are such big prices.
Worth a double @ over 2/1.
Looks like that was the main coupon buster for the above bets, especially for atw. Top of the league and playing against a team who have gone 17 games without a win. UL
Defo think that QuickDraw is the man to follow at the minute.
Always there or thereabouts recently.
No pressure like QuickDraw, but any chance of posting your selections on Friday Night/Saturday Morning? ;0)
Was going to bet more but lost my nerve when it came to putting it on.
Well done graw, lots of goals this weekend.
Be lucky
achill
had 3 teams to win and 2 to draw. ALL BUT 1!
:0(
Enjoy your next win in the year 2019. ;0)
Everton & Blackpool double for meeeeeeeeeeee.
My m8 who is a Man City fan won weeks ago on Tevez to score 1st at 7/1 (£30). He told me then he would carry on backing him with his winnings and urged me to do the same. Of course i didn,t listen and have now lost count how many tmes he has scored 1st goal
I,ve backed Cardiff to win The Championship on the handicap list at the start of the season at about 22-24/1. for £15.
They are now 12/5, so I could wait until end of season and if they win collect £300 or lay it off now and pick up about £95 now.
What would you do? (anyone)
Good luck
