It’s entering that time of the season for separating the men from the boys and we are starting to see some of the usual suspects show their true colours. Man Utd always seem to peak around this time and never know when they are beat when it matters (remember Macheda vs. Villa), in total contrast [...]

Finally back with Premier League action after the inescapably dull International friendlies in midweek, where for once I find myself agreeing with Sir Alex that they should be scrapped all together. If I was a bookie I would love these games as they are so hard to call and uncompetitive yet high profile – perfect [...]

Putting up my bets for this weekend early as some such as in the Man Utd – West Ham game have seen the odds drop. A full write-up will follow… Main Bets 1 pt over 2.5 goals. West Ham V Man Utd 1.92 Ladbrokes 1 pt Birmingham +0 Asian Handicap V Bolton. 1.83 Pinnacle 1 [...]

Very close to a good weekend for the Main bets last Saturday and Sunday with the late Dimitar Berbatov goal, adjusting our profit in that game from a full 0.95 pts to just 0.475. We just needed one further goal in the Sunderland – Liverpool game to pick up a further 1.42 pts profit, which [...]

I believe that one of the secrets to profitable football betting is knowing when a certain team is suffering from a major over-reaction, normally leapt upon by much of the media and tv/radio pundits as something to discuss. This is either too much praise or too harsh criticism and with this in mind there are [...]

There is only the one midweek game featuring Everton at home to Birmingham tonight but I can’t back the inconsistent Toffee’s as short as 1.55 to win. They have been a real Jekyll and Hyde team this season and with 3 key players in Cahill, Fellaini and Neville out, its anyone’s guess as to which [...]

My football betting this weekend starts over at the Reebok where Bolton host Villa in a game where I feel the over 2.5 goals line is offering value. Bolton’s home games have seen an average of 3 goals scored, whilst Villa’s similar away record is 3.14 goals so the odds of 2.03 on offer for [...]

Back this week with an almost full Premier League card with 8 games over the course of the weekend to work with and I have 4 Main bets that have caught my eye. Starting up at the Britannia Stadium, I am keen on Stoke to have too much for West Brom, especially considering the 2.00 [...]

Just a quick message as after studying the markets, no bets advised in either of the midweek EPL games. Back on Thurs/Friday with a look at the weekend’s action. Mike

Its fair to say February hasn’t been kind to me so far, with the midweek Birmingham bet going down for us and we are in a poor run of form. It’s perhaps good that we have only the one game this weekend in the top flight with West Brom hosting Wolves, so we can take [...]
