Weekend footy betting (6th/7th)
At one stage I thought I was gonna hit 3 in a row on Wednesday night but Arsenal decided they were gonna have an off night in Ukraine so it wasn't to be.
Anyhow, it's the weekend again & more opportunities for a win. It's a bit trickier this weekend as it's the FA Cup 1st round but I've managed to find 3 bets.
Main Acca:
Everton to beat Blackpool (A) @ 5/6
Southampton to beat Shrewsbury (H) @ 4/9
Huddersfield to beat Cambridge (A) @ 8/13
Raith to beat Queen of the South (H) @ 10/11
These 4 are paying a very nice 7/1 so I've had a tenner on that.
I saw most of Blackpool's game against West Brom & I got to say I think they were quite lucky to come away with the points. Had the Baggies managed to keep all 11 on the pitch I think it would've been a different outcome but we'll never know now. As it is they meet an Everton side who have really picked up their form over the past month. They're unbeaten in 5 (3 wins) & although it could be a close scoring game they should come away from the seaside with the points.
Southampton have finally started picking up results & after a shaky start now find themselves back in the play off places. They've won 5 of their last 6 games & take a break from league duty this week with a cup game against League 2 opposition. Shrewsbury are having a decent season themselves so far but they're vulnerable on the road & I really can't see them going any further in the cup after tomorrow's trip to the South coast.
Considering that Huddersfield have won 4 of their last 5 league games this price is too big. Cambridge are currently lower mid table in the conference & although they've won their last 2 games they should be no match for the Terriers here. Prior to their last 2 wins, Cambridge had only picked up 1 point from their last 15.
Raith currently sit in top spot in Division 1 & have lost once all season. They've won their last 3 & meet a Queen of the South side who don't travel too well. In 6 attempts so far they've won 1 on the road & even lost to bottom side Morton a few weeks back.

)Watford/Forest - Both to score @ 8/11
Plymouth/Swindon - Both to score @ 4/7
Fleetwood/Walsall - Both to score @ 4/5
Sunderland/Stoke - Under 2.5 goals @ 8/13
Derby/Portsmouth - Over 2.5 goals @ 5/6
Stockport/Peterborough - Over 2.5 goals @ 4/7
These 6 pay 22/1 so I've had a couple of quid here.
FA Cup Handicapped Long Shot:
Chesterfield (-2) to beat Harrow Boro (A) @ 3/1 (WAY TOO BIG)
Brighton (-1) to beat Woking (H) @ 8/13
Port Vale (-1) to beat Dartford (A) @ 5/4
Peterborough (-1) to beat Stockport (A) @ 15/8
Fleetwood (+1) to beat Walsall (H) @ 4/6
Carlisle (-1) to beat Tipton Town (H) @ 8/15
These 6 are paying a whopping 106/1 so I've had a quid on there.
The great thing with the handicapped betting is some of the prices are just crazy. Chesterfield have got goals in them (34 in 15 league games) yet you can get 3/1 on them winning by 3 or more at a team who are currently 18th in their division & have also conceded nearly 2 goals per game!
Good luck if you're having a go peeps.

A few tight ones here but 1/3 Juve couldn't beat Salzburg the other day so anything can happen.
Pays 27/1
Good luck to anyone having a bet.

Not a fan of betting on cup games, never know who's up for it. Just done this to make it a little more interesting.
