Hi guys

Bets placed so far.

9 x 8folds at 50p aline if all come in.... NO when they come in, it will pay £504

Single £25 bet on hull match
  1. Morecambe v Stevenage Under 2.5 Goals @ 5/6
  2. Sheff. Wed v Bournemouth Under 2.5 Goals @ 4/5
  3. Hartlepool v Bristol Rov Over 2.5 Goals @ 10/11
  4. Doncaster v Sheff. Utd Under 2.5 Goals @ 4/6
  5. Watford v Scunthorpe Over 2.5 Goals @ 4/5
  6. Hull v Portsmouth Under 2.5 Goals @ 4/5
  7. Coventry v Barnsley Over 2.5 Goals @ 10/11
  8. West Brom v Fulham Under 2.5 Goals @ 8/11
  9. Tottenham v Everton Under 2.5 Goals @ 4/5

 Looked for home win acca but just did'nt see anything that took my fancy, might look again in morning just to see if it looks different after a nights sleep.

Might back QPR tonight to make the game worth watching but as i type this i see the odds have dropped from evs to 10/11.

I'll think about it.

Be lucky

    Good luck mate, wouldn't back against QPR though but football's a funny old game, you never know. Out of interest did the Mirror give any reasons why it's the bet of the day?

    Gonna look at the betting market for the match now, might have Taarabt for 1st scorer.

    I actually considered not putting on any bets this weekend cos right now I feel like I couldn't back a winner in a one horse race. 

    It took me about 10 minutes to go against my better judgement though & I've gone for 3 different bets for tomorrow so here's hoping!

    Main Bet:

    Burnley to beat Reading (H) @ 10/11
    Watford to beat Scunthorpe (H) @ 8/11
    Brighton to beat Yeovil (H) @ 8/15
    Chesterfield to beat Shrewsbury (H) @ evens - W T F!!!

    These 4 are paying a decent 9/1.

    If Burnley could transfer their home form to their travels they'd be storming this division right now. They're unbeaten in 6 at Turf Moor so far & only Bristol City have taken a point from there to date. They've also only conceded 3 goals in those 6 outings so far & all those came from Preston in a thrilling 4-3 win. Reading are sitting in mid table & they've only one win from six on the road so far. It won't be an easy game & if this was at the Madejski I certainly wouldn't back Burnley, but at Turf Moor & this price (which is too big imo) it should be a good starting place.
    Watford are probably the biggest surprise in the championship so far. One of the pre season relegation favourites, they currently find themselves in 3rd place after picking up some good results & playing some good stuff along the way. Scunny have shown that they can be a decent force on the road with 3 wins from 6 so far but the glory hornet boys should see them off here. They saw off Ipswich at Vicarage Road in midweek & won this fixture last season too.
    Brighton should be as close to a home banker as you'll get this weekend. 3 Points clear at the top of league 1 they face a Yeovil side who generally don't travel well. The seagulls are unbeaten in 9 home & away & thumped Charlton 4-0 at the Valley last time out. It is worth noting that Yeovil have in fact won their last 2 on the road, although these came at Rochdale & struggling Walsall so there's no major surprises there. Brighton also have the upper hand between the two teams as well having not lost in their last 4 league meetings (they've won the last 2 at the Withdean).
    On the face of it Chesterfield appears to be a risky pick but even money here is way too big a price. Crewe are the only side to come away with a point from the B2Net so far this season in the crazy 5-5 draw a few weeks back, but even then Chesterfield came back from being 3-0, 4-1 & 5-3 down during the game to get that point! They've won their other 5 games at home so far & the Crewe game aside, they don't concede many there either. Shrewsbury started the season really well but have tailed off a touch in recent weeks particularly away from from home. In their last 4 on the road they've lost 3 & drawn one & the two that they have won away came against Macclesfield & Stockport so certainly not the divisions toughest teams.

    Long Shot:

    Villa to beat Sunderland (A) @ 2/1
    West Ham to beat Newcastle (H) @ 13/10
    Peterborough to beat Brentford (A) @ 13/8
    Huddersfield to beat Plymouth (A) @ 13/10
    Cheltenham to beat Port Vale (H) @ 19/10

    These 5 pay a massive 120/1 so only small stakes here. As usual I've done 10x trebles @ 50p per line & 1x 5 fold for a quid. Should just 3 come in then I cover my stake so nothing lost. If I get 4 then it's a small profit (at least £15 depending on which ones come in if I work it out correctly) but should all 5 come in then the milky bars are on me!

    Villa have had the upper hand over Sunderland in recent years with only one defeat home or away in their last 9 league meetings. During those games they've won 6 of them including their last 3 visits to the Stadium of Light.
    It's gonna be a close call at Upton Park tomorrow evening but I really fancy us for this. We're playing well at the moment & are unbeaten in our last 5 in all competitions & but for a poor refereeing decision last week would've picked up maximum points at Wolves too. Newcastle are no mugs though & won't roll over easily but they are beatable particularly on the road.
    Peterborough are a real Jekyl & Hyde team on the road. One minute they're beating a Carlisle side who hadn't lost at home up until that point & the next they're losing at Hartlepool who have been poor at home! Brentford have had a tough time so far & find themselves in the bottom 4. As part of a long shot this price is massive but it does depend on which Peterborough side turn up.
    Huddersfield are another side who are very hit & miss on their travels. They hit a sticky patch a few weeks ago but seem to have found their feet again having won their last 2 including a 3-0 win at Colchester who were previously unbeaten at home. Plymouth are struggling so far & are only one point from the bottom 4 but have shown that they are capable of beating the better teams in this division. Again though, as part of a long shot at this price it's well worth a shot.
    Right now I hate Port Vale as they've let me down big time over the last few weeks. They've hit a bit of a sticky patch & have dropped points against teams that they really should be beating. They travel to a Cheltenham side who have only lost once at home so far this season so for those reasons they merit inclusion in a long shot bet at this price.

    Goals Goals Goals - Both to score:

    Spurs/Everton @ 5/6
    West Brom/Fulham @ 5/6
    West Ham/Newcastle @ 4/5
    Forest/Ipswich @ 5/6
    Crewe/Aldershot @ 8/11
    Morecambe/Stevenage @ 8/11

    These 6 are paying a nice 32/1 & all of these teams have shown that they're just as capable of conceding goals as they are to score them so far this season.

    Good luck if you're having a go this weekend. I've got a couple of free bets to use so may have a crack at a correct score for our game tomorrow night (I fancy 2-1 to the mighty hammers @ 9/1).

    Happy betting peeps

    Achill, unless it's sky's own enhanced multiples (which are usually c rap) the free £5 bets can only be used on  singles (although you can use them for e/w bets). That's why I was gonna have a go on a correct score for our game tomorrow.

    don't think you can go wrong with goals galore. 66/1 on picking 6 matches where both teams have to score!!

    Forget picking winners / losers - there's always that random game that throws everything. Defo more chnace of both teams scoring.

    Defo spending some of my hard earned cash on that.

    1 x £1

    7 right is a small profit
    8 right is a decent profit

    I have always been in profit with this bet JJ, and always use 9 selections.

    You should have a go on the euro/world footy games tomorrow, just to give it a spin.
