THERE aren't masses of top-flight games on the go on Friday but look at some of the big names in action.
We have the likes of PSG, PSV, AC Milan and Bruges plus games in the Football League, Bundesliga, La Liga and a full card of lower-league Dutch and French matches.
So let's start with the best team in action and that's PSG who look unstoppable in the race for the title and can storm eight points clear of Monaco.
Laurent Blanc's side are no bigger than 1-5 at McBookie to see off third-bottom Valenciennes and should do so. Valenciennes are the only side to win at Monaco this season and picked up a morale-boosting win against Nice last week so statistically best bet could be both to score at 8-13 at Paddy Power.
PSG have kept just one clean sheet in five while Valenciennes have netted on their last six league visits to the capital – picking up four score draws.
However, PSG are a stronger side these days and of course possess a goal machine in the shape of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The 30-goal Swedish striker has hit 11 in 11 games and is 9-4 at William Hill and Coral to net the opener.
I can't see PSG slipping up here and kick off the treble with them at -1 even though Lyon let me down on a similar bet last night – but that was cup football.
In Serie A, AC Milan haven't improved much under news boss Clarence Seedorf and face a tough test against a Bologna side who have moved on since bringing in Davide Ballardini as coach.
Milan have won one in four and their display at Napoli last week was panned. Seedorf signed Adil Rami, Michael Essien, Keisuke Honda and Adel Taarabt in the window and all could start for the first time.
Milan are no bigger than 2-5 at Ladbrokes and it looks short against a side with one defeat in five. With the home men scoring and conceding consider over 2.5 goals at 8-11 with Ladbrokes. That's part two of the treble.
PSV have beaten Heracles 4-0, 4-1, 5-2, 4-0 and 4-0 in their last five meetings in Eindhoven. They can be backed to win at 4-11 with Coral and 11-4 to score four or more with anyone brave enough. For the treble simply take PSV to win.
In the Bundesliga there's not much to separate Mainz and Hannover. However, I watched Hannover lose 2-0 at Schalke last weekend on ITV4's excellent highlight show and it could have been five or six.
With Mainz boosted by the return from suspension of key defender Nikolce Noveski they could edge this one and are 1-1 at Coral.
Drop rivals Elche and Osasuna face off in La Liga and it promises to be tight and tense. There have been just three first-half goals at the Martinez Valero since the end of October so consider a half-time stalemate at 11-10 with Coral.
For the Super Single I thought about Mainz or btts at AC Milan which pays a best 11-10 at McBookie. But I've no messing and I'm on the big man to show us some love on Valentine's Day.
Ibrahmovic has won us plenty on the past so I'm on him to score first.
I spent a bit of time sorting out the Johnb situation this morning and now have to crack on with my weekend Record column so time for reasoning but my over 2.5 goals line has been well researched and stands up to the stats.

Haven’t been looking at the football tips the last few weeks as decided to take a break and follow what was happening on the horses. How are the super singles and top trebles faring at the moment after that tough January?
Duncan, check back if you want as nothing is deleted – I’m sure you’ve got an idea.
Paul is there any reason I can’t post anything on the site apart from writing things like this comment. Been trying to put up tips but not letting me post anything. I’m not even getting a moderation preview
Chris, no reason. This post has appeared and so should others.
Oh dear Lyon!
Lol lyon bottle job! And former youth team player scores just to rub it in!
I’m glad lyon conceded a penalty there. They had a chance to kill them off if the guy had just squared it to the guy in loads of space but he took too long. That would’ve made it 2-0 and my -1 bet would have been up. Hope they don’t qualify now, definite penalty, can’t argue with that. Tomorrow’s another day
Paul it’s still not allowing me. Totally bizarre. Had the same problem since yesterday. Have tried to submit around 20 times
There’s a full set of 10 games in the Dutch Jupiler League tomorrow. Going to put a daft couple of quid on them all going over 2.5 goals, pays 85/1 on Bet365!
Paul can you speak to Admin and ask why I can’t post? Can I email you my post so you can put it up please
Chris, you are posting – that’s the strange thing. Email it me at the Record and I’ll have a look. Heading there in a bit.
Chris, I’m in the office but there is no email from you.
Scott,over 1.5 total goals pays 3.62/1 @ bet365.
Yeah that looks decent Stormin, think I’m going to have a go on both. Let’s hope there’s no 0-0’s!
Hi Mr F. Wondering if you received my email with line of week entry ?
Joe 90, will be checking the mail soon.
Joe 90, got your entry and it’s a cracker but I can’t give you the prize if you don’t want your name in the paper.
Paul I remember there was a tie for line of the week a few years back. Me and another guy had picked the exact 5 correct scores in world cup qualifiers for 5p’s returning nearly £900, but because we chose different bookies he beat me by a couple of quid. Btw my £50 free bet (which I didnt win) correct score came in at 8-1
anton, vaguely remember that one – but it’s been going a long time.
Greg Browning is one impressive tipster – he even manages to duck out of the bad games that were originally on his ‘overs’ radar (I refer to the Iceland Women’s game currently 0-0 after 81 mins).
Horse.
I thought you had quit a while back, you were here whinging about how much you had blown.
Will you never learn!, carry on and a life of busking awaits
Thanks Skint for your concern.
I had blown a near four figure amount on a game which scarred me for life.
I enjoy betting has a hobby and although losing money is not fun my losses have approximated to around £125 a month which isn’t ideal but life goes on. We live and we learn.
I rarely drink, don’t do drugs, and one thing that I do feel guilty about is not spending time doing other things instead of betting but I do get enjoyment from it.
Maybe I speak for a lot of people on here or maybe their reasons are different to mine but I won’t be going back down the road I went down last year.
Over 1.5 match goals in ALL Jupiler Dutch games pays 3.62/1
Sorry Stormin, didn’t realize you already mentioned it :)
Scott / Stormin,
I think 1.5 goals on all jupiler league games could come in. Only not so sure about the achilles game and the mvv maastricht game, those are one or no goal games.
Regards,
Mr. Orange (Dutch)
Polish Extraklasa starts tomorrow.
Legia win (-1.5) 2.02 Bet365
Horsing around, you asked about the Chester vs Halifax game.
Every previous head to head had both teams to score. Although personally I try to only look at H2H for the last year or so – just think about the difference of Man U a year ago.
Chester scored at home in 6 of the last 7 and they played teams both higher and lower in the league. They also conceded every game.
Halifax conceded away in 6 of 7. They also scored away in 5 of 7 recent games. The 2 games they didn’t score were against Tamworth and Wrexham. If I had time I might look into the defensive records of these teams – they may just be very solid at the back.
It did look very good for BTTS. Congrats on the win!
Horsing around, cheers but it was a lucky escape mate! No first half goals and match goals market I felt was too high put me off! Looking to see what tomorrow has to offer!
Greg, always like your tips how would you advise to follow them? Stick to level stakes for all the tips you post or is there any other plan you follow? Cheers in advance
Focus of tonight’s overnight research has fallen on
Copa Libertadores
Emelec vs Bolivar 2:30am
Will keep this short and sweet – Emelec have won last 4 home ties in this competition while Bolivar have lost last 3 away. Emelec slightly skinny for me for straight win so look to overs market. Bolivar have lost last 2 away ties in this competition 5-0 and 8-0.
Over 2.5 ftg @ 1.70
Gents does anyone use this system? Heres an example peterbrough v walsall. 5-4 peterbrough, the draw 9-4.put 25 win on peterbrough and 15 on the draw.if peterbrough win your up 16 or draw your up 8.i know im leaveing out a walsall win this is a system I use.does anyone use this system?
tur, why don’t you just do Peterborough double chance.
Tur,Why don’t you just lay Walsall.
So get yourself an Account at a Betting Exchange + you will learn about over round % which you won’t get here.
Tur
£40 on peterboro double chance @ 2/5 gives you £16 profit

The Strongest to score a goal in the last 30 minutes (hour gone) is 5/1 with bet365! Well worth a wee punt surely?
Just had a quick look at the Dutch games tommorow night and here are my thoughts…
De Graafschap vs FC Voldenham (Jupiler League, 19:00)
NAP – Voldeham over 1.5 team goals @ 6/5
Voldenham have Scored 12 in past 5 away league games, 4 games went over 1.5.
De Graafschap have conceded 10 in past 5 home, 3 games over 1.5 goals conceded.
Same fixture last year finished 2-0 to Voldenham.
FC Dodrecht vs Jong Ajax (Jupiler League, 19:00)
NB – Dodrecht over 2.5 team goals @ 5/4
Dodrecht are coming off the back of a 6-1 win away from home. They score a lot of goals at home, with 34 goals scored in 12 games.
Jong Ajax have conceded 30 in 11 away games, including conceding 3 or more in 4 of thier last 5 away league games.
Reverse fixture earlier in the season finished 4-0 to FC Dodrecht.
Craig K, the matches I do my main write ups on are my most confidant and for those I’ve got increased stakes on! Have started posting a NAP so that should help! With the exception of the Phillipine leage, games I post during the morning / afternoon or are 1.5 fhg and 3.5 match goals are always small stakes mate! Hope that helps?
Usual Dutch and French matches tomorrow gents, not looked yet but one game closer to home has caught my eye!
Peterborough v Walsall KO 7.45pm
The hosts have been goal seekers best friend for the last 2 it three seasons and this season is no different! 13 of their last 15 matches have gone over 2.5 goals and they seem to have got over their sticky patch were they were 6 games without a win! They come into this off the back of a superb 2-1 away to orient and have scored 2 or more in their last 6 matches! Walsall have propelled themselves to playoff contenders but I fewl he posh will have too much for them!
Over 1.5 Peterborough team goals 11/10 ( NAP )
Over 2.5 match goals 17/20
Yeah that’s great Greg, ive done small stakes on the phillipines games as you have advised which have been rewarding to say the least haha! Hadn’t realised you were doing a NAP as well, is that daily or just obviously whenever you see something that’s suitable? Cheers
Also would you advise sticking to level stakes for your NAP Greg or some other plan? Cheers again
I cant see any games in england playing tomorrow, most likely be postponed , weathers supposed to be bad again friday
Only when I see something mate – have put one up for tomorrow!
Level stakes mate with increased stakes on the nap and my main write ups, small stakes on over 1.5 & 3.5!
Cheers for that Greg appreciate you taking the time to write back to me some man!
P’boro game wont be on garentee it will get called off
JamesBCFC, cheers. Will keep an eye on it.
When you’re sure your pick will win the first half but are worried about a late winner for the opponents then the “anyway which way but lose” ht/ft forecast works .
Like TheDane, adjust the stakes to make the same return
Adelaide/Adelaide is 13/5 £13.00 to win £46.80
Adelaide/Draw is 12/1 £3.60 to win £46.80
(Half Time Result Adelaide is 9/5 Adelaide+1 FT 3/10)
Paddypower prices on the game in the 99th Best League In The World, tomorrow.
I dont bet online mrf only in shops and I cant get a shop where gives a double chance coupon.
tur, you don’t need a coupon. You can do a double chance bet in most shops – they will give you the odds. You’re not restricted to what’s on the coupons in shops.
Whats the advantage, if any, of going into a shop? Better odds than online?
tur, I also don’t have an online account and am a shop punter. Like Mr F says, you can usually get a price at the counter using a plain slip if the bet you fancy doesn’t appear on the shop’s coupon. The best time to do that, if you have time, is before noon when the staff aren’t overly busy and won’t be too stressed taking the time to phone for a quote for your odds. They’re usually pretty helpful. After all it’s what they are there for. Just get them at a quiet time when they’re not too busy.
Forgot to say, tur, I have seen Double Chance coupons in William Hill shops.
Don’t be daft, happy to help! :)
James, hope not mate!
STAKING PLAN.
The following tip are one of 30 matches I’ll be posting as an example on how to manage your bankroll (staking plan).
The stake in percentages are from a fixed bankroll. All 30 bets will be bought and sold at Betfair.
My advice are not to bet the first 30 matches but just to see what I’m doing and then maybe join on the next run. I expect between one and five bets every day.
8/30
Atletico Nacional – Newells (Copa Libertadores)
SELL draw
Odds 3,45
Stake: 3.15% (of my total bankroll for this series) (liability: 7.73%)
The Dane.
Dane, Any chance you can post the in-running totals as you go?
Cheers
Bet Your Bottom Dollar – I’ll be posting the result and a graph at the end of the series showing the difference between normal flat betting and using an adjusted staking plan. That should be no later than Tuesday.
The Dane.
I didnt mean late “winner” for the opponents, I meant “equaliser” – actually I had typed a rude word then corrected it. Oh, Lyons.
Evening all. Nothing from me yesterday and my main bet would have been on Lyon over 1.5 team goals if anything so glad I steered clear of that! Friday looks promising, let’s hope it delivers.
NAP: ISTRES V TOURS 7:00pm (Ligue 2)
Istres’ last 6 games have produced 22 goals and 5 of those have gone over 2.5 goals. 4 of their last 5 home matches have also gone over 2.5 goals. They come up against a Tours side who have seen 10 of their last 11 Ligue 2 matches go over 2.5 goals with 6 of their last 7 away matches going that way. 7 of the last 10 H2H have gone over 2.5 and the reverse fixture this season ended 2-2. This looks set for a good few goals and with the price for over 2.5 goals standing at 19/20, this looks really really good value.
NB: DORDRECHT V JONG AJAX 7:00pm (Dutch Jupiler League)
Dordrecht have scored 3 or more (it’s actually 4 or more in each occasions) in 6 of their last 8 home matches and come into this game on the back of a 6-1 away win at Emmen last time out. The come up against a Jong Ajax side who’ve conceded 3 or more in 6 of their last 7 away matches. This looks, on paper, to be a perfect opportunity for Dordrecht to extend their lead at the top of the table in style. I’m going to take Dordrecht over 2.5 team goals at the excellent price of 5/4.
DOUBLE:
The first part of the double comes from the Jupiler League again at it’s De Graafschap v Volendam over 2.5 goals. 11 of De Graafschap’s 13 home matches this season have gone over 2.5 goals whilst 10 of Volendam’s 12 away matches this season have also gone that way. Over 2.5 goals pays 4/7. The second part comes from arguably the biggest match of the evening – PSG v Valenciennes. 7 of PSG’s last 8 home matches have gone over 2.5 goals and 7 of Valenciennes’s last 8 away matches have gone over 2.5 goals. PSG should have far too much firepower for their opponents here but since they’ve scored in 7 of their last 8 away matches, they could score themselves so over 2.5 seems a good bet at 8/15. The double pays 1.4/1
TIPS:
NAP: Istres v Tours over 2.5 goals – 19/20
NB: Dordrecht over 2.5 team goals – 5/4
DOUBLE:
De Graafschap v Volendam over 2.5 goals
PSG v Valenciennes over 2.5 goals
1.4/1
That’s Friday’s selections and hopefully they’ll be kind. The stats look good, but as we’ve seen recently, they don’t always come through! Let’s hope they do tomorrow!
Will be on your tips as usual Alex, nice to see we agree on the Dodrecht game!
Very interesting as always Alex. Will be looking at the above closely!
Greg, funny you posted that. Was eyeing up P’boro over 1.5 and flicked onto here – great minds and all that (hopefully!)
Can get 6/5 on P’boro +1.5 team goals. Very generous odds. Hope it doesn’t get called off! In all seriousness, it might be worth checking the conditions. P’boro do love goals but a terrible pitch might hinder things.
Greg, mr f, weathers supposed to be really bad tomorrow all over the country so cant see any games being on, but u no what tbe weathers like could wake up tomorrow to it bein a nice sunny day ha
AC v Bologna
I fancy a draw tomorrow. AC have not impressed me as much as Bologna over last 6 games. DB is tactically astute, more so than Seedorf, and DBs tactics were superb v Napoli first 45.
Bologna are fighting for survival and they should not be where they are. This will have them determined not to go away with nothing. I fancy this game will not have them missing Diamanti so much as it will be Ac attack attack with Bologna on the counter. Unlikely Bologna will be interested in dominating midfield.
AC big problem is slow defence and this 4231 Seedorf formation is not helping them. A poor defence with 4231 needs a strong attacking line to score more than they concede- not sure Milans attacking line is so strong or consistent aa yet.
It was a draw earlier this season 3-3 and a couple more draws in last 4 years against a stronger AC side than they have now. 2012 Bologna got a 1-1 in the San Siro v a Ibra led Milan, with Thiago Silva, Flamini and Seedorf. Milan will also have an eye on Champions League and wont want any injuries to cause more concern.
Yet even though AC remain clear favourites, I fancy an upset if Bologna do what I expect.
Bologna double chance at 12/5
Oor Man, good stuff. As you see I don’t fancy AC either but I do like both to score.
Safest bet this weekend is probably Snow in the North West.
SS DIJON -1.5 @2.2 BET365 French2 nap
psg -2 @1.95 nb french1
Italian Serie A
Ac Milan – Bologna
AC Milan Over 1.5 teams goals (1.44)
Milan are a lot better at home, and I feel Balotelli will react against being taken off against Napoli. Should dominate Bologna, fancy them to get 2 goals or more.
German Bundesliga
Mainz 05 – Hannover 96
Mainz Win (1.95)
Hannover have the worst away record in the entire Bundesliga, I fancy Mainz in this one. At the very least a draw, but I would go for Mainz win or Mainz Draw no bet. Can’t see Hannover winning.
Dutch Eredivisie
PSV – Heracles
PSV Win (1.36)
Been a mixed season for PSV, usually at the top end of the Eredivisie.. They’ve struggled away from home this season but been very dominate at home, only lost 1 game this season.
Dutch Jupiler league
FC Dordrecht – Ajax Reserves
Over 2.5 Goals (1.5)
Always goals in this league and Dordrecht are great at home, averaging 2.83 goals a game at home.. I fancy there to be goals in this one.
Jeez that was nervy, lumped on The Strongest +2 about 5 mins before the big favourites (The Strongest were 14/1) Athletico scored. Longest 65 mins of football I’ve watched in a while.
Sorry if it’s a bit long but writing stuff out helps me pick my own bets as well. Anyway, here’s what I will be on so you all know what to duck out of!
BTTS Double
We know the jupiler league is great for goals but unfortunately so do the bookies so I’ve tried to find some value here. Again, I’ve included the percentage of the home/away teams that have been btts and the number of h2h games out of the last 5 that have seen btts. Creteil I’ve watched a few times this season and they are actually great to watch, really have a go and it shows with the goals but also with the number they score and concede.
AC Milan (55%) V Bologne (55%) 5/5 (evens)
Nancy (42%) V Creteil (82%) 2/4 (evens)
3/1
Over 1.5 Team Goals Treble
Like I said Creteil have no problem scoring but concede loads, especially away from home. They have conceded 2 or more goals in all but one of their last 5 away games. Nancy have scored 6 in their last 2 games and have scored 2 or more in 3 of their last 5 home games. In the other game Istres play Tours. Tours have conceded 10 goals in their last 4 games whilst Istres have scored 10 in their last 4 games.
Peterborough
Nancy
Istres
7.31/1
Good luck everyone, and I’ll stick up my challenge bet in the morning.
A couple of tennis tips for you fine folks today.
del potro v Gulbis ATP Rotterdam
Over 22.5 games @1/1 Bet365
Two big hitting players in fine form who are very hard to break when on song. Gulbis served brilliantly in his last round win over dimitrov, not losing serve once, and I expect this to go to three sets, or at least two long, tight sets with minimum one tie break played.
Andy Murray Marin Cillc ATP Rotterdam
Cilic just won the title in Zagreb last week and has carried that form into Rotterdam, dismissing Rosol and Tsonga with ease in straight sets in the first two rounds here. Murray should edge this, but he is stills feeling his way back after shoulder surgery and was pushed close by querrey last week and dropped a set to the inexperienced youngster dominic thiem in the last round here. Cilic hasn’t dropped a set in 7 matches so looks good to at least take murray to a third.
Over 22.5 games @ 8/11 Bet365
I am pretty confident these will both come in.
Double pays 2.45
Recommended bets for juicier odds:
Murray to win 2-1 @ 11/4
Jankovic to beat Kvitova 2-1 @ 5-2
Del potro to beat Gulbis 2-1 @ 11/4
Almagro to beat Chardy 2-1 @ 11/4
Would maybe suggest doubles. fourfold pays 183-1 @Bet365 !
Good luck all

Odds 3,50
Stake: 2.82% (of my total bankroll for this series) (liability: 7.05%)
The Dane.
The above are bet 9 out of 30.
The Dane.
Steaua Buc-Concordia Chiajna
This is the first game in Romanian League and Steaua wants for the second year to win championship.They sold their captain but bought the best player from intern championship and should win easy this one.Steaua home record is amazing in last 15 games W10 D4 L1(against Chelsea).8 of them gone for over 2,5 goals.Last H2H was last year and ended with the win of Steaua 6-0.
Main bet Steaua & over 2.5 (1,8)
Second bet Steaua over 2.5 team goals
Bayern to beat Arsenal at Emirates at 10/11 looks good to me.
Adelaide United vs Central Coast Mariners (8.30am k.o.)
Draw and both to score 3/1
Ive gone for quite a few bets today, maybe too many but we shall see. Off on holiday next week so I dont mind putting a couple of extra on, and who knows, maybe some extra spending money ;)
NAP: Mainz Win – Evens (Coral)
Mainz are nothing special at home, but Hannover are dreadful away. Mr F has already covered this game so I won’t elaborate too much. I could see both teams scoring here but either way im going with a Mainz win.
NB: Volendam Draw No Bet – 21/20 (Various)
De Graafschrap haven’t been in the best of form lately whereas Volendam have won 4 of their last 5 and also have a good record away from home. Above Evens for DNB is something i’ll be taking everytime.
NB2: Podbeskidzie Win and Under 2.5 Goals – 11/4 (William Hill) or Safer: Podbeskidzie Clean Sheet 11/8 (Bet365)
There have been a total of 11 Goals in Podbeskidzie’s 11 home games with only 2 going over 2.5 (Compred to 5 0-0 draws). Widzew are bottom of the league having lost all 10 of their away games scoring only 6 goals in the process (lowest away tally in the league). Podbeskidzie have only scored 6 themselves at home but recently scored a win over the league leaders. They are also facing the worst defence in the league so I think they should grab a goal.
Others:
Dordrecht Over 2.5 Goals – 5/4 (Thanks Alex!)
Alex already covered this.
Telstar Draw No Bet – 10/11 (StanJames)
Telstar have a very good home record considering where they are in the table. Jong PSV have picked up in recent months and had gone on an unbeaten run on 6 games away from home before losing their last away game 2-1. I’ll be waiting on team news but since it’s Friday I can’t see many players from the top tier PSV playing in this match.
Carquefou v Le Poire-sur-Vie BTTS – 11/8 (Coral, William Hill)
Bit of a risky one betting on goals in the French National League. The last 3 H2H have seen both score and 9/13 of Le Poire-sur-Vie’s most recent games have seen both score, including 7 of their last 8. Think it’s got a chance.
BTTS and Win Yankee

czech – latvia
olympics ice hockey, starts in a few minutes so briefly.
latvians lost 0-1 their opener vs swiss team with last minute goal, they have mostly russian khl players and are no mugs.
czechs were overplayed by sweden clearly and it was 0-4 in 30 mins. finished 2-4. they deserve to be favorites but definitely no in such handicap.
h2h in world cups and olympics within las 12 years: 8 games and czechs covered -2.5 just once, under 5.5 in 6 occassions.
tight game expected.
picks:
latvia +2.5
under 5.5

cze – lat 4-2 ft
The Chief, thanks for try scorer Monaghan! keep them coming! Also Raal great tip on BTTS Braga match. Had them 2 in a nice little double! Well done guys
Well said horsing!!!
Wots goin on with chris guy comments I’ve lumped in large to account for his goal scorers. Strange this :
Peterborough v Walsall
I think this game will see goals but i like the look of Walsall DNB at 6/5. Posh will really come at us looking for revenge after we murdered them live on Sky at our place and that could play right into our hands with the counter attack. They got a good result against Leyton Orient recently but Leyton Orient also lost to a poor Bristol City team earlier this week so could be choking a bit.
To anyone who likes betting on score lines READ ON for free bets.
Personally, I hate score lines. I think the odds of getting it right are so small there’s just no point.
BUT I recently joined skybet to take advantage of their £5 weekly bet club. However, I also noticed they do a weekly “super sixes” competition.
It is entirely free, all you need is a sky bet account. There is no need to deposit into the account!!! I am yet to deposit a penny into my sky bet account.
Every weekend they pick 6 premiership games you have to guess the scoreline, and submit your guesses before midday Saturday I think it is. If you get all 6 scores correct you get £250,000. If nobody entering the competition submitted 6 correct scores for the day then, and this is interesting, whoever got the most points for their guesses wins £5,000. Every week!
For example let’s say a correct score is 10 points and a correct result e.g. Win/lose/draw is 5 points. If I get only 3 correct scores but the other 3 I got the result correct that’s 45 points – in with a chance for £5000!
Granted, the chances are tiny. And like i said I hate score line betting. But it’s FREE!! Can’t complain. Thought I’d give a heads up.
Good morning. In-play

its top at home to bottom and the H-2-H history shows last 4 all going over with 23 goals in total. Going for gregs bets
Was just looking at that myself, on it!
Need a win, I think Richard is referring to Gregs usual overs bet for games with goals, which is over 1.5 fhg and over 3.5 ftg.
What is gregs bet missed them
OK I told a lie it’s not just prem games, but pretty sure it’s just english ones.
Prem games are used most weeks, sometimes with a championship game or two thrown in. It depends how many 3pm kick offs there are.
All Dutch Jupiter games over 0.5 fhgs! This came in for me last week when the games were spread over Friday to Monday, 9 folds and an acca of 10
BET 9
ADELAIDE UTD V CENTRAL COAST MARINERS
Central Coast Mariners clean sheet NO
152.77 to return 213.87
Turkey u19 v Slovakia u19 – O2.5 10/11 currently! looks good bet!
Turkey score quite a few goals where as slovakia like to both score and concede!
Ok just as I posted Adelaide score. May stick with this match, all Adelaide at the moment.
Yeah damo’s right – was typing from phone so trying a bit of short hand – sorry for confusion
2-0 Adelaide half time
If you don’t like money, then early morning bonkers bet
Adelaide to win 4-0 10/1
They beat Central Coast 4-0 just in December after being up 2-0 at half time. Central Coast have offered nothing going forward. Unless things change then im sure Adelaide will get another few chances to get on the score sheet.
Not that this is relevant, but the Winter Olympics is the business…more exciting than the normal Olympics for me.
**Except for Curling, Curling is brutal.
Adelaide over 2.5 goals (up 2-0) 6/5
Damon Adelaide are 6/5 O2.5 goals having already bagged two this is got to look a corker
What you think
Oh dear we must of posted at the same time lmao
I’m on it, they should be up by 4 or 5 by now. Had some excellent chances and they are cutting Mariners apart on the counter.
I think It’s all championship games tomorrow in the super 6. Predicted mine last week and from what I remember I am sure it was championship.
I’ve been doing it for around 5 months and It’s very hard as there are always 1 or 2 strange results. 2 Points for correct result and 5 for correct score. So Max is 30. Loads of people hit 27 when you check results afterwards. That would be sickening but hasn’t happened to me as of yet. Think my highest is around 17
STAKING PLAN.
The following tip are one of 30 matches I’ll be posting as an example on how to manage your bankroll (staking plan).
The stake in percentages are from a fixed bankroll. All 30 bets will be bought and sold at Betfair.
My advice are not to bet the first 30 matches but just to see what I’m doing and then maybe join on the next run. I expect between one and five bets every day.
10/30
T. Berdych – J. Janowicz (ATP tennis – ABN AMRO)
J. Janowicz +3.5 games
Odds 1,70
Stake: 6.05% (of my total bankroll for this series)
The Dane.
Strange game in malaysia
over 1.5fhg loses and over 3.5ftg is up after 52 mins – got both at a touch over evens so no harm done
Adelaide disallowed goal, guy was a mile onside. Lineman put his flag up then down then up again after Adelaide score!
Think our luck is out needawin!
‘Mon Adelaide! One more goal!!
Good stuff Richard! You’d be amazed how many matches finish 1-0 at half time and over 3.5 full time
After the Adelaide over 2.5g fail iv now got £1.33 left. Any tips on how to start bringing that back up!? :)
Sorry Zool! They really did look good for another goal and 6/5 was good value at 2-0 with almost the full second half to play. Not sure how it finished 2-0 and it certainly shouldn’t have with the disallowed goal but anyway happy to hit bet 9 on my challenge with Mariners clean sheet no. £213.87 at the moment so about 2 bets to go.
Shocking decision from the ref that.
And he going to the World Cup. What hope do teams have.
Mile onside
Cheers stormin, I’ve only done it twice and not done particularly well but there ya go, can’t turn down a freebie
Turkey u19 1 v 2 Slovakia u19
Over 2.5 10/11 WIN :)
Good morning. In-play
Adelaida – Cental coast
Both to score Yes @ 2.00
Gooduck
LOST FT 2-0, central refuse to score !
That’s 3 super singles now in a row, thanks to Adelaide United. Ok, Lets keep it going. Here are my tips:
Mega Super Single (Upset Prediction):Osasuna 13-5
Super Single: Helmond 1-1
Dont apoligise Damo! It looked good to me aswell. Right onto the next game with my £1 odd! Time to start building again
Nothing massively jumping out at me today so I’ll keep an eye on in-play. Save most of my pennies for the weekend. Having said that:
BTTS ACCA
Holland eredivisie – PSV vs Heracles
Croatia HNL – Hadjuk Split vs Dragovolijac
Holland Jupiler – Dordrecht vs Jong Ajax
Holland Jupiler – Den Bosch vs Sparta Rotterdam
Polish Ekstraklas – Podbeskidzie vs Widzew Lodz
Sorry BTTS ACCA odds of 18.75
damo what is ur other 2 bets for today if u dont mind me asking? up to about 179 with this system ur doing
Just posted what I think might be my next bet, but need to mull it over a bit. Will post when I’m sure but it looks good on paper.
just got text from the burd saying ‘my 2 workmates just got flowers sent to the shop, they’re gorgeous’
I told her that’s probably why they got sent them :)
Craig, nice one. I’m sure she’d be happier with a betting slip with a loveheart on it – as long as it’s a winner.
Happy Valentine’s Day, I love Mr Fixit and Greg! :)
Alex, I see how it is. Just Mr. F and Greg, no love for Rusty huh? I thought you and I had something cool going on. I even barracked for the hammers! :(
Rusty – Between me, you and Arda Turan, we could have a great thing! Haha!
I apologise for leaving everyone else out, it’s a great community and all the regulars love each other ;)
Alex, that sounds grand. I’ll let Arda know of our new circle :P
Also, no need to apologize mate! It’s a good thing you kept the list to a few. I mean, you could have included raaljaca in there! We definitely don’t want that. Last thing we need are Hearts fans smothering us.
Mr F, get yourself over to jb’s thread, talk of conspiracy is rife lol…
Have took all Dutch eerste division games along with psv and Mainz games over 1.5 goals
£5 pays £35 ish @ 365 hopefully loads goals tonight good luck all
Cracking bet coming up
Although it is a friendly, Norway champions Stromgodset who went unbeaten at home last season are up against off who finished 8th.
Ko 11:30 so be quick if your getting. 1.91/1 with paddy power.
GL!
Sorry above should say ‘against ODD’ damn phone.
Thinking this is likely to be my next challenge bet but NOT 100%. Any input welcome!
AL SHABAB V AL SHAAB
AL SHABAB over 1.5 goals
213.87 to return 308.91
Al Shabab have scored in every home game this season averaging 2.3 goals per game. In 9 home games they have scored 2 or more in 8 of them.
Al Shaab concede an average of 2.6 goals away from home this season. They have conceded in each of their ten home games and only 3 of them were less than 2 goals.
Al Shabab sit third whilst Al Shaab sit second bottom, they have goal differences of +15 and -22 respectively.
Racing thread has gone bonkers. Any fun here? :P
I’ve avoided the racing thread lately, place is a nut house just. Saw someone say earlier that johnb was a marketing ploy, hahah!
Damo, I’m putting up a statement on the racing thread – too much nonsense talk by some idiots who have no idea about how the site operates or why johnb has taken a couple of days off.
Craig, quality! I sent me good lady flowers, albeit through the Meduim of scocial media,
That’s the spirit Greg :)
Hi Everyone, my Rio Ave AH 0.5 was superb yesterday. Today i’ll stick all my penny on KuPS@2.4 to beat mypa. 100%.
Amazing what ‘greed’ can do to people mr fix it.
Ignore the haters.
sounds good enough for me damo
Exactly Rustchest! I’ll decide if send flowers, not because I feel must, haha!
The good lady did make a demand tonight ( I saw it as more of a request ) As it’s valentines day, I’m bit allowed on my phone tonight! Obviously you can understand I tried to explain that we have German games kicking off at 5.30pm and Dutch and French games at 7pm + a mixture of other matches! Valentines day should never be allowed to fall on a fooball night! Haha!
If anyone likes a bet on a sacking and a replacement, a possibility is Mazzarri out De Boer in at Inter…unlikely to happen before summer. But a loss at Fiorentina will add an extra nail in Mazzarri’s tomb.
There have been a few rumours in Italy since he came that Thorir highly regards FdB and thinks he is ideal to rebuild Inter.
Al Shabab are the same price for the straight win which I may take instead. I guess the straight win is better here as Al Shaab have only scored in three away matches this season, if it goes 2-0 anyway I can’t see Al Shaab pulling it back and at least then I have 1-0 covered also.
Damo, i am putting the Al Shabab win in a double with Al Nasr Riyadh win
i will keep an eye out after the game is done for next tip. cheers
Reasoning seems solid Damo.
Just a quick question pal, will you be starting another one after this challenge? I only ask as I only started following for the past few bets
BET 10
AL SHABAB V AL SHAAB
AL SHABAB win
213.87 to return 308.92
I should add that Al Shababs home record is payed 8, W 7 L 1 and that was against top of the league. Al Shaabs away record reads played 9 L 9.
Yesevil, if I make it through this challenge unscathed then yeah I’ll start another!
I’m following you on these bets Damo although this will be BET 1 so hopefully you’ll continue to do them
Tips all look good today i’ll be on all them
Only one super single today and that is NIORT in Ligue 2
Top of the form league by 4 points!
2/1 – Somebody’s hand needs to be chewed…….
No worries Damo. I’m gutted I wasn’t on from the start, hopefully next time. Although I don’t know if I’ll have the bottle when it comes to large amounts!
I’ll also be on Ibrahimovic first goal 4-0
Ibrahimovic is 9/4 first goal @Williamhill
When al shabab kicking off???
KO is at 13:25
Cazorla out for Arsenal v Liverpool, could be another liverpool win on the cards unless Ozil Arteta and Flamini cand do some damage
Damo is bet 10 KO at 1325?
Yeah ko is 13.25. Pressures mounting!
Best bets of the day after careful study of current,home and away form.

Are league 1 and league two games going ahead in england?
Hi alex just reading your tips as your the only guy I follow usually. However kaiser chiefs let me down big time thought you would have known about the 6 first teamers out injured. However prepared to give you a shot today. How sure are you on the French Game?
crusty – In all honesty, I couldn’t find any team news and I have a search. I got that one wrong and I might get this one wrong tonight. The only thing you can guarantee is that I’ve put in the research and have been as thorough as I can. If you want to follow then great, if not then I’m not forcing you to! :)
All the best Damo – good going.
My own challenge is in early stages
Tennis bet 4 on £45.67 (interest sequence of numbers!)
Football bet 2 £24.44
all best short odds.
If unscathed over weekend may post on Monday…..
Good luck
MAN CITY V CHELSEA CARDS/GOALS/CORNERS
Following up yesterdays post regarding researching teams discipline, corner conceding, awarding and more importantly referee styles I have picked my first goals, cards, corners experiment.
The last time that these 2 met in the league there was 6 cards dished out by Mike Dean, only 1 referee on has dished out more cards on average (based on number of games reffed) this season and that is 2moros ref Phil Dowd. Phil dished out 6 cards on Wed in the Liverpool match and dishes out on average 3.7 cards a game (the average across all refs is 3.03)So I conclude he will dish out over 6 cards 2moro esp as City have the 6th worst discipline this season in prem league (based on cards picked up), Chelsea lie middle ground in 11th
Corners- both these sides rank high here, City rank first in corners gained, Chelsea rank 6th between them they average 13 corners per game, this was shown when they last met when 18 corners were gained. Over 12 corners looks fine to me.
Finally the goals/ team to win market, obv this is a difficult contest to call and as always with Europe coming up in Midweek team news will be vital, am hoping for an open game as goal difference means nothing so am going over 2.5g
***Tip Over 2.5g, Over 12 Corners, Over 6 cards 14/1 @ William Hill****
Afternoon gents, my thoughts on tonight’s European matches:
Last week I posted 5 French games over 1.5 goals, was one short due to late missed penalty! Going to give it another go tonight!
Dijon v Bastia
Istres v Tours
Nimes v Metz
Nancy v Cretail
Over 1.5 goals 4-fold pays 2/1
Two other games for me with goals in mind!
Nancy v Cretail KO 7pm
4th placed Nancy host 13th placed Cretail with the home team looking to stay in touch with leaders Metz! Nancy have won their last two 3-2 and 1-3 and have scored 2 it more in 5 of their last 8 at home! Cretails away form like so many clubs here is poor! They’ve picked up just one point from their last 5 away matches and have conceded 2 or more goals to clubs struggling near the bottom of the league! This is a much tougher match for Cretail and I can see the home side scoring twice!
Back over 1.5 Nancy team goals 5/6
PSV v Heracles KO 7pm
This must rank as one of PSV’s most favourites fixtures! In the last 18 matches between the sides they are unbeaten, PSV have won 15 and drawn 3! In their 9 home meetings it’s played 9 won 9 scored 30 with PSV scoring 4/3/4/5/4/4 in the last 6! They come into this in great shape after beating Twenete 3-2 last weekend and although Heracles are playing o.k I’m sticking with the home team to continue their amazing run in this fixture to make it 10 straight home wins!
Back PSV over 2.5 team goals 10/11
Lahti v Kalju has just kicked off
Kaju were one of the Estonians teams I followed last year! They are the underdogs in this match but 5/6 over 2.5 goals is a decent price, friendly or not!
Goals, Corners, Cards Sunderland V Southampton
Corners- games involving Sunderland average 10.7
games involving Southampton 9.7 the average for prem league is 10.7 so am going to take 10-12 corners here as combined average of the 2 sides gaining and conceding is 10.2
Cards- Southampton lie mid table averaging 1.7 cards per game Sunderland slightly higher in 7th place averaging 1.9 cards. so with combined average of 3.6 per game this could be either under 4 or 4-6 so will let the man in the middle influence this one…up steps Mike Dean with his 3.5 card average, way above the average 3.03 cards per game so am looking at 4-6 cards.
Again the result is tough to call I feel Sunderland have bigger fish to fry this year so am taking Southampton.
***TIP Southampton win, 4-6 cards, 10-12 corners 14/1 @ William Hill***
Hi Mr F, replied to you via email regarding line of week details, sorry about complicating matters, hope Ive not left it to late.
Joe 90, I replied to you last night.
Super single
Ibrahimovic fg 1-20 min 5/1
Treble
Nancy
Psv
Psg -1
2/1
Mcbookie git great offer on just now, put a single on splf match any market in Saturday and if it loses get a free £10 bet on sunday. I asked them on twitter if can do mulitiples including English/European matches and they said as long as 1 spfl game is on acca. No brainer for ne this wknd, £10 at Mcbookie and £5 at skybet accas for 2 free matching bets :)
Lol I just received that text from MacBookie Craig
Ah well there’s my treble down already. A result I really didn’t see coming.
Going to look at the market Chris Guy suggested – FGS 0-20mins. My picks this weekend:
Ibrahimovic – 5/1
Mandzukic – 5/1
Messi – 3/1
Tevez – 8/1
Commons – 6/1
Psg, Bayern, Barca, Juve and Celtic are all at home and playing teams you would expect them to beat comfortably and all these players are coming into the weekends games with a bit of form!
Cant count on De Graafschap to scores goals now that Parsyzsek and Anco Jansen have left. Scored over 50% of their total goals between them
Are all the games on in england?
Right Al Shabab less arsing about please!
Damo
Are you going to make this a regular feature from your good self? Even if we banked every £100 and continued to follow your tips and method I fail to see how we cannot be in profit, you are obviously very good at this considering your profit margin in the last week
STAKING PLAN.
The following tip are one of 30 matches I’ll be posting as an example on how to manage your bankroll (staking plan).
The stake in percentages are from a fixed bankroll. All 30 bets will be bought and sold at Betfair.

Podbeskidzie – W. Lodz (Poland)
Both Teams To Score – NO!
Odds 1,86
Stake: 7.92% (of my total bankroll for this series)
The Dane.
Mark, I was actually thinking about this myself. Rather than going for £500 just aim for £100 or £200 and start over again. Once you get to the larger figures as hard as it to just pick as you normally would the added pressure of losing it all does have a bearing. Well, if Al Shabab don’t get the figure out we may get a chance to try it later!
I had actually wrote out a big speil for another team playin this morning, Al Arabi to score +1.5 but felt this was a safer bet. Al Arabi won 6-0. lol
*sorry that should say, as hard as I try to pick as I normally would…
Damo 1-0 ;)
I got on it as well after reading the stats, £19 stakes returns £27
Cheers anton.
Aaaaaallllll Shaaaaabaaaab!!!!! Goooooooalll!!! Damo’s got his nose over the line!!!
I know how you feel mate, been posting the 10-1000 challenge up and when you spend time researching down to a short list it’s a sickener when the selection you go against comes in as opposed the one you chose. I am not as brave as you which is probably why my profit is less. Interestingly I have been following your selections aswell as doing my own and will continue to do so. Keep it going Damo and long may you continue with it.
Been following [reading] what you guys are doing and i like that idea… may jump in and enjoy the ride for a while, thx ;)
Goallll Damo
FINLAND LEAGUE CUP 5 PM
KuPS V MyPA
Bookies are shortening the odds on UNDER 2.5, 8/11 in places, but at above even money we can take a chance on them calling this wrong.
BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (4/5) 10 POINTS
OVER 2.5 GOALS (21/20) 5 POINTS
MyPa TO WIN (6/4) 3 POINTS
Note – KuPS match starts at 4pm not 5pm.
Nice tips – I’m in :o)
Cheers Pete, the 5pm was for all my french fans ;)
Ah yes – I heard that your fan base had gone international!
Hope all well in your neck of the woods. Was reading about your £2.5m cash injection today from some former businesswoman. Sounds like the rescue attempt is gathering momentum for Hearts which is great news for fans and football alike.
Wenger has just said he’s playing strongest team on sunday as he wants to win FA Cup, we get may have champions league in the back of his mind, one to consider for the weekend
Another BTTS Raal special, these are getting as good as johnbs naps! I’m in!
Mr F – what was the outcome of Chris Guy’s posts he was trying to put up (I know he said he was going to email you and see if you could post for him instead). Assuming it was for the 1-20 min FGS challenge I’d be interested to know his thoughts.
Puzzling why he couldn’t post himself (but could post that he couldn’t post!) but I guess we’ll just have to live with this moderation preview challenge whilst the site progresses to the next stage.
If are able to repost if he can’t that would be great and appreciated by me and I’m sure others too. Thanks, PeteT
BET 10
AL SHABAB V AL SHAAB

unfortunately i picked the over 1.5 gls :/
Mr F, yes I saw your reply and sent you another email with my name etc. Cheers.
Joe 90, OK. After you said that I gave the prize to someone else. To be fair they may have won it anyway as I hadn’t decided but you made up my mind for me.
Aye, Mark I think I will. That would take it to £60 staked and £820ish returned (I think the first challenge went just over £500). So £760 profit since last Thursday doing this.
Can’t argue with £760 profit Damo, would be gutted if you lost £300 mate it’s not chump change. Next bet then…..lol

Campaigning to make the African Nations an all year round event Dougie.
Damo in with you
Good work Damo! Last time i checked you were on 30, so rapid and accurate!
Cheers oor man.
If anybody is wanting to do it also I’ll try keep it an ongoing thing so feel free to cash out and start again at whenever your comfortable with (if we get to that point!)
Only thing I would say is, if you cash out too early you obviously won’t have as much of a buffer with your profits for a couple of inevitable failed attempts.
I’ll probably aim for around £250-300 from now on.
Going for a BTTS and result treble.
Peterboro
PSV
Dortrecht. pays £290 for a tenner.
pete t i find it strange aswell mate, makes you wonder dont it. mr f can you shed any light on his question?
It’s ‘IT’ Johnny. Somewhere there will be a control panel which needs a box ticking or something. Given the number of posts a day it can only be a small proportion which get moderated. Probably just one word flagging up which is being used in an innocent context!
greg wots your nap tonight and do yo fancy any german 2 games at 5.30 tonite
cheers in advance
I think Greg ‘napped’ Peterborough to score over 1.5 team goals Johnny.
When are you thinking of doing next bet damo?
Just having a wee look at the moment nameless but might need to nip out and grab something for the missus before she finishes work. haha Will probably be the Jupiler league games as it’s easy enough to find 1/2 shots there but I’ll have a look at Bundesliga 2, looks a tricky night there though.
Already done my run for the wine and chocolates that should buy me a night of betting haha, I’ll keep an eye out then thanks mate
Damo, can’t get enough of the challenge. I may gain a few grey hairs in the process, but it would be great if you keep the suggestions coming. Cheers!
Ok lads just the 1,bet for me unless it comes in lol

cheers pete on that too plus the rest!
went with dort v ajax in juliper seen greg bring this home before many times so having a dig aswell best of luck
short comment on 2nd bundesliga:
Fürth vs. Karlsruhe – 2nd vs. 4th
Tough match with two good teams, Fürths home stats are 6-1-3 and Karlsruhes away are 4-3-2. Karlsruhe has to take 1 point or more for stay in the upped third of the league, so I see here some chances for them!
small stakes on:
double chance draw or Karlsruhe @ 2.10
DNB Karlsruhe @ 3.40
Thinking a head – FA cup this weekend
Double on BttS
Man city v Chelsea (Saturday)
Arsenal v Liverpool (Sunday)
£100 bet, return £275
Do you think this will happen? All 4 teams scoring or are they going defensive ???
Chris guy, I was on your Suarez and Negredo tips but gutted I never seen your 16/1 winner. That’s some shout, who was it?
Chris Guy
Been following your posts mate and remember you started with £200. I thought bets 1 and 2 were Suarez and Negrado and you have just posted bets 3 and 4. Should balance not be £180 after 4 £5 bets or I have missed one. I know you have had trouble posting recently mate. Thank you in advance
Chris Guy – what was bet 2? Must have missed it.
i think chris means racing?
Everything I bet on has bit me in the ass since last friday without exception.
Barca draw.
Chelsea draw.
Lille draw.
Niort seems too good to be true at 2/1 .
I might contact their opponents who could do with the points and see if the chairman will fund my bet!
Damo – well done
Johnny, my NAP is Peterborough over 1.5 team goals! Have also posted mate. on the French games + PSV ( see earlier comments)

AC Milan -2 corners 10/11
PSG to win both halves 21/20

Gonna be a great lay later tonight I reckon, I can feel it. Going to absolutely smash it and enjoy a great night.
Then I’ll see the lass and see what happens!
Sorry, couldn’t resist terrible jokes.
Any news on P’boro pitch condition?
Neil, I didn’t put up any tips on the English games because someone said last night they’d be all off. If it’s one pitch will be a mess I suppose but there should be the usual goals frenzy.
cheers greg seen posts forgot you posted squire
My Bologna bet tonight will be filed under the;
‘Do I know anything about Italian Football’ series 1
So going to start over after banking £300 from my challenge. Profit is a £760 since I started this (had six attempts and cashed out twice) so hoping to keep a good run going. Hopefully too much choice isn’t going to trip me up at the first hurdle.
EXCELSIOR VS. EINDHOVEN BTTS
10 to return 15
I’m in! [start with smaller stake tho] But will follow, good luck!
No chief today?? Thought he may have an input on a scorer tonight or with team goals Peterborough
£10-£1000 challenge 2
Nice to see bet 3 coming in with Atletico PR winning 1-0 over The Strongest, also Univ. de Chile winning is worth a mention as I did fancy the double but decided against it for fear of greed ruining the challenge. Maybe in these early stages I should have taken the gamble.
Bet 4
PSG WIN 1/6 (France Ligue 1)
Bastia CA clean sheet NO 1/10 (France Ligue 2)
Hannover 96 clean sheet NO 2/11 (Bundesliga)
£19.86 returns £30.12
I’m with you Damo. Roughly how many bets is it to £100?
Yesevil, to £100 it would be roughly 6 or 7 bets, getting past the £100 mark takes the longest, after that you can hit £250 in another 2 bets.
I’m on btts in the Milan game also Mr F, the head to head looks good and evens seems like an excellent price.
I think my answer will be ; No. Since im possibly the only one betting on a bologna double chance in europe!!
Oor man, I don’t think Milan will win either but btts at over evens was the bet that tempted me.
Why would you do that?
Anybody know why metz top of the table are 11/5 away to nimes who are lower half?
STAKING PLAN.
The following tip are one of 30 matches I’ll be posting as an example on how to manage your bankroll (staking plan).
The stake in percentages are from a fixed bankroll. All 30 bets will be bought and sold at Betfair.
My advice are not to bet the first 30 matches but just to see what I’m doing and then maybe join on the next run. I expect between one and five bets every day.
12/30
Dijon – CA Bastia
Dijon
Odds 1,40
Stake: 6.40% (of my total bankroll for this series)
The Dane.
Matching up my own research and some of the advice from these comments, gone with:
Istres v Tours over 2.5 goals
Volendam over 1.5 team goals
Double that pays about 10/3.
PETERBOROUGH V WALSALL
Looking at the game I reckoned Britt Assombalonga would be around 8/13 to score anytime. Skybet went 8/11 but then the anytime goalscoring Gods decided to give us all a Valentines Day present with what I think is a huge price;
BRITT ASSOMBALONGA TO SCORE ANYTIME; (7/5) PP
BRITT ASSOMBALONGA TO SCORE 2 OR MORE; (8/1) PP
BRITT ASSOMBALONGA TO SCORE FIRST GOAL; 1-20 MIN (12/1) BET365
Mr F, yep that should come through. Most of their games produce goals. And AC will leave plenty of spaces for them
oor man! Looking forward to hearing your early thoughts on the Serie B tonight :)
oor man! Looking forward to hearing your early thoughts on the Serie B tonight :)
PSV ahead already.
Second double of the night, I think, will be Milan-Bologna BTTS and Peterborough over 1.5 team goals
Anyone watching Niort game on bet365, they have the team colours the wrong way round!!!!!!
Peterborough bet is a NO GO for me. Pitch looks an absolute mess.
Milan: Abbiati; De Sciglio, Rami, Zapata, Constant; De Jong, Montolivo; Honda, Kakà, Taarabt; Balotelli
Bologna: Curci; Antonsson, Natali, Mantovani; Garics, Lazaros, Perez, Krhin, Morleo; Bianchi, Cristaldo.
All humans in the starting 11 for Bologna. Midfield isnt what I expected. Whats DB up to?
Oor man, with those line-ups what’s your tip.
If you’re looking for a goal in the Istres game then tonight might not be your night. Terrible game so far, dire football.
Jokes aside ; A draw. I can see Bologna getting at least a point. But i think Ballardini will go for a draw. Id be surprised he will have his team jump out the gates and tell them to go for a win. They NEED a point. And i can see AC scoring at home so Bologna will need to find a goal. They will have to take some risk for even a draw.
Volendam make it 1-1 – first thing that’s gone right in my double!
That’s even more reason to take AC -2 corners @ 10/11
Tours keeper makes an absolutely ridiculous save! Jeez.
Istres 1-0.
Evening guys, again I’m sticking too a try scorer from each side in tonight’s Super League match. I will stick to players who did the business last season until we uncover any gems as the season progresses.
For Hull it is Tom Lineham, he was on fire last season with 25 tries in 30 games and was a real star for the black and whites. He is 5/4 Ladbrokes.
For Catlans Morgan Escare has been given the number 1 jersey after impressive debut season. Brett Webb the ex Leeds Rhino’s was the starter, but Escare with 19 tries in 20 games deserves his chance. A real speedster coming from the back field and I taking him at 13/8 Skybet, to show why he is the number 1 full back at Catalan.
LINEHAM TO SCORE 5/4
ESCARE TO SCORE 13/8
Good luck if your having a bet
Ill never understand people blaming others for a bet they made with their own money based on a tip they read online. Makes me chuckle though.
Hi the chief good tips,I think ben pomeroy will score a try he’s debut game for the dragons coming from the cronulla sharks should see him grab one ore two he’s super strong and hard to stop
Allsports, I had a look at him but his stats from NRL didn’t show him to be a prolific scorer. For the first two weeks or so I will most likely stick to try scorers and players I know, then as the season progress and get to see more matches, some lesser known names may come to the fore. Good luck with your bet mate.
Anyone who takes a first goalscorer tip as anything other than a gamble is a fool.
Taking Ibra to score anytime, maybe but to expect him to score before any other striker is nonsense.
Bet Your Bottom Dollar, as you say first-scorer tips always a gamble – if it wasn’t Ibra it was likely to be Lavezzi.
Bet Your Bottom Dollar,
Every bet is a gamble. No such thing as a “dead cert” when it comes to betting. The people who are “fools” are those who think that people that put up on these sites views or tips guarantee success. They don’t.
Elche v Osasuna about to get underway in Spain
Reverse fixture earlier this season was 2-1. Another close game probably going for home side going by Home/Away form.
More strikingly from the stats are that Elche Average time to score at home is 49th minute, and to concede is 59th minute
similarly Osasuna away stats are 44th min to score, 47th min to concede
Strongly points to 2nd half goal action.
Hills offering 11/10 on 2nd half being half with most goals
Graafschap 1 – 2 Voldenham (50 mins)
NAP – Voldenham over 1.5 team goals @ 6/5 – Win
Not looking good for my NB of Dodrecht over 2.5 team goals, 0-0 after 50 minutes. But here’e hoping they get one soon and get on a roll!
Volendam – the more unlikely part of my double at 13/10 (on paper) – is in. Unfortunately, other part not looking good. Need 2 more goals in the Istres-Tours game. 35 mins to go so it’s still possible I guess.
Dordecht score literally as you must have been typing Scott. 1-1 currently – floodgates maybe?
Come on Istres, go wild! Or Tours, comeback please!?
Red card for Excelsior, could actually be a bad thing if they just park the bus now.
yeah 3-0 up and wait it out, was hoping for a penalty ;p
BAM!
Gotta love the Dutch leagues for goals… Seven fold accum thanks very much :-)
Excelsior man down Damo, here’s hoping mate
Don’t think you can knock anyone for going Ibra first scorer in a PSG match at home. That said, in my honest opinion 2/1 is poor value.
Neil, 2-1 wasn’t great but that’s the way it’s with top strikers. Probably 50-50 that he scored first so 2-1 better than that.
My BTTS ACCA was let down once more by just the one goal. A polish game this time, which never really looked like getting any goals until a red card and a penalty. That game was the least likely of them all to come in according to the odds, though the stats suggested it was possible.
Better luck tomorrow perhaps! I’ve topped the account up in-play gambles today, so let’s see what we can get over the weekend eh? With the sort of odds I’m posting for BTTS acca I shouldn’t need too many to bring home the bacon for a profit.
Lads if I had over 2.5 goals in 13 games and 11 win at evens on 60 bets 5 p a line total 35 pound what am I looking at roughly?
Tell you what, regardless of having a bet, French football can be turgid at the best of times. Total lack of urgency. You’re 1-0 down, Tours!
Metz 13/5 for win against 10 men 0-0
Afraid Istres v Tours won’t be going over 2.5 unless there’s a miracle. This is only 2nd tier, hardly like it’s 6th tier. Absolutely appalling standard of football.
As if to prove the point, Tours miss what was essentially an open goal. Sigh.
Hope you avoided the Achilles sittard game Honda ;-)
Neil… Everyone says the same thing about the French leagues every week m8… Learn your lesson :-)
I’m really starting to question football these days haha!
The stats for tonight’s games that I mentioned looked so good and yet both of them are looking like they’re not going to come close. Really really makes me question football generally! It’s just bizarre it really is.

13/30
Godoy Cruz – Quilmes (Argentina)
Over 1.5 goals in the match
Odds 1,62
Stake: 5.4% (of my total bankroll for this series)
The Dane.
Nice one Damo, no sweat lol
There it is Damo, never in doubt!
Paul O, didn’t put the acca on in the end, but proving to be a bad day at the office so far besides Mainz going 1-0 up :)
That construct are hopeless,might back Ajax to win to save my losses
At least the double I put up is in.
De Graafschap v Volendam
PSG v Valenciennes
Both over 2.5 goals paid 1.4/1…
Paul O, I know Ligue 2 isn’t great but nearly evens for over 2.5 was clearly good value. Shame the game’s gone this way.
Well so far so good for Bologna. If its 0-0 at 75ish minutes im covering a Milan win. If any team can score in the last 15 its those jammy bandits.
Dordtrecht
Could have backed any game over 2.5 in Dutch Jupiter but i went for the Dordrecht and Achilles games
Yea got burned yesterday with the Lyon game trying to cover myself out with no next goal at 78 minutes only for it to go down with a pen for lens in the 93rd minute but that really is football for u… Looking forward to a good card tomorrow
I have a feeling this could be another break even month :)
Neil yea good point it does look like value alright but they’re that price for a reason m8. Last week it was the same, there just doesn’t seem to be any urgency from either team to score it’s like they just don’t give a shit…. But that’s the French for you and not just in football lol
Honda a break even month will do me m8… It’s been tough since the start of the year without a shadow of a doubt!
Wow Mr F great workk today my friend! Hope some of you backed ibra on William hill at least you get your stake back as a free bet for tomorrow.
Me potato head, tips were OK tonight but better if Ibrahimovic had scored first. Again my second choice SS won, Mainz, and that’s the way it’s been recently.
I missed your last btts bet Damo so I’m on Walsall race to 5 corners to make up for it
Nancy v Creteil btts at the handy price of evens, hopefully Milan game can pull through to complete my btts treble, added a dutch game to the 3/1 double I posted.
Eindenhoven leaving it late but least first bet is out the way, thought I had picked just about the only game that wasn’t going to go btts.
I’ll have a look to see if there’s anything I like for the next bet.
Will you stay on this thread for bet 2 of the new challenge?
Yeah I’ll post it here. If I don’t plan on betting anything I’ll say as well.
cool, thank you
Using all your wonderful minds how best can I use my free £20 bet from will hill.
You can look at stats and apply reasoning as to an outcome of a match overall, but you can never say that one man out of a team will score before any other.
I’ve taken Greg’s O1.5 goals for Peterboro, as the stats point to that. They’ve not had a shot on target but the stats still pointed to O1.5 goals.
Mr F or anyone else who knows their Scottish football, who do you think are the best shout to win in the SPL tomorrow? Going to have a go on the McBookie special offer but you need to back one of the Scottish games. I’ve narrowed it down to Dundee United, Aberdeen or Motherwell, but would be nice to hear other opinions on it.
Scott, as you see I like them all but Aberdeen would be my preference as a single although their record in Paisley isn’t great.
Actually, doesn’t matter. Just seen Mr F’s top treble post he’s just put up and it’s the three teams I’ve mentioned. Think I’ll just put them on as a treble!
So, anyone on Milan in play?
Neil, I just don’t trust any of the Milan teams this season! Have just got on Swindon at 7/4 against 10 man Colchester though, hoping for a late goal!
My 1st ever tip so be kind lads
Was just having a wee look at the indian i league tomo 10:30am
Dempo v Rangdajied United two low/mid-table sides.
what caught my eye was that dempo average 1st goal is 43min at home and united’s is 47min away leads me to think that this could be a tight, low scoring affair favouring dempo the home side.
draw/dempo pays 15/4
under 2.5 7/10 bet 365
Friday must be the best day of the week cant buy a win any other day over 2.5 6fold up last week over 2.5 7fold & btts6fold up tonight love the dutch game!
Neil, I had started with Bologna double C at 12/5 so im on Milan to cover myself. But i will wait until 75 min ish to do it.
Best over 1.5 goals in all holland matches xcept achilles and mastricht…won won won…..thanks to those who contributed
Holland all over 1.5 goals won won won…thanks to all who contributed
Certainly don’t trust either Milan side that’s for sure. Think AC might nick an undeserved winner though, they always seem such a fluky side.
-2 corners a great shout from whoever it was.
Thats me,2/1 milan. You can count on them to mess up a bet in the last few minutes!
While your here oor man, and with your bet well and truly covered, I’ll post my thought quickly on Serie B.
The 2 I like are:
Brescia 11/10
Avellino 1/1
Also for a value bet:
Trapani 17/10
BALOTELLI!!!!!
What an unbelievable goal.
WOWZA
some dig from mariooooooo!! glad i jumped on milan last 10 yeah!!!
Anyway, a bologna goal now and i will be winning twice!
Oor man, that’s pretty how you and others called it inplay. This is where the site can help if you get people watching and making good shouts.
NOT a challenge bet but something a like the look of think represents some decent value. Not going to put another bet up tonight as I don’t have time to properly research but was liking the A-league game btts.
ATLÉTICO HUILA VS. MEDELLÍN
4 games in to the new season both sides have been involved in the goals. All of Huilas four games this season has seen over 2.5 goals (5,3,4,4) with themselves scoring 5 in their two home games. Only two of Medellins four games have went over 2.5 goals but those were both away (4 goals in both those games). Medellin have scored 3 in their two away games. The last time these two played in ended 4-0 at Medellin and 3-2 and Huilas place.
ATLÉTICO HUILA VS. MEDELLÍN OVER 2.5 1/1
If you feel brave double up with
SYDNEY VS. PERTH GLORY OVER 2.5 GOALS 1/1
Double pays 3/1
Hopefully will wake up to some extra coins!
Good shout on Lineham chief son, just need Escare now for full house
And that, ladies and gentlemen, couldn’t have been more like Milan if they tried. They look terrible. Rescued by a total stunner.
I like those three Honda, i also like Carpi but not looked at them.
I’m calling that the oor man stamp of approval ;) Wish me luck!
Shame for bologna, typical bar stewards Milan.
That was still a very good bet Oor Man. You called it right, even game, and a very wise lay bet on Milan. Timed it perfectly too. Dunno if it was a tremendously profitable night or not but IMO this is excellent betting work. Played it very well.
And as I said, never rule out an undeserved Milan winner. Very glad I got on, particularly after calling PAOK yesterday in-play, delaying my bet to HT and them scoring just before HT. Sometimes you really need to follow your gut instinct!
A frustrating night across my three matches!
Nancy over 1.5 team goals 5/6 WIN
PSV over 2.5 goals 10/11 lose (2-1)
Less said about the peterborugh game the better! People critique scottish football but at least there are goals in scottish matches, haha!
All set for Largs tomorrow’s Mr F?
Greg, all set. Ice cream for breakfast and chilli for lunch. If it keeps raining this hard though I might need to swim there.
escareee son get in u little beauty, quality chief son, just the medicine I needed. Ta son
Top tips from the chief again in the super league. Both Lineham and Escare have scored turning what was a below par day into a break even day. Hail the chief! Thanks as always!
Tough day to tip today – the advice to stay away from the domestic football matches was good advice as it seems choppy outside.
Very happy with my simple double of PSG-1 and PSV Win tonight.
On to Saturday, the dodgy day!
Great stuff Chief!
===========
Keeping a close eye on Cobreloa v Union Espanola in play, in Chile. Cobreloa to score a goal is 5/6 currently, generous with 40 mins left.
Good luck Honda!
Yep Mr F, one of the great things about this site, mostly someone is doing something right at any given minute!
Yep Neil, youve maybe been stung by them too in the past but i almost always cover a Milan game when its a draw or a 1-0. They are the worst for last minute surprises…..
That’s right! I was gonna ask oor man about Fiorentina :)
I reckon these super singles need to be around odds of 5/6 or 10/11 from now on. Just to get a running run going. Towards the end of 2013 fixit was on fire. He’s been unbelievably unlucky by picking one instead of the other and I think we’re gonna see a winning run around the corner. A winning streak is around the corner
Smash and grab, it’s just about picking the right one – whatever the odds. As I said Mainz was my second choice and I also tipped HT draw at over evens at Elche. I find I quite often pick out 4 or 5 then flag up the wrong one. Maybe when the site changes I’ll do a Dane-type staking plan with 4 or 5 singles.
Smash and grab. This will sound stupid but it’s not always about winning.
IMO it’s all about the odds. Something can be 4/1 and terrible value, while something could be 8/11 but great value. And vice versa. It’s all about offering odds that are too long for the event. That IMO would be what I class as a super single. It’s why I passed on the Ibra bet. Yes, Ibra is obviously a good bet to score first but 2/1 for FGS is awful value IMO.
Keeping a close eye on Cobreloa v Union Espanola in play, in Chile. Cobreloa to score a goal is 5/6 currently, generous with 40 mins left.
======
69 mins – GOL! :)
Fiorentina would be my SS for tomorrow at over evens! They’ve had 4 wins and a draw in there last 5 games at home scoring 11 goals while Milan have lost all 5 of there previous away games!
Nathan, I agree that’s a generous price. Something about Inter though that I think they might make things difficult.
Decent win on super league with linehan 6/4 wincast coming off and crooks anytime evens coming off. 2 late trys cost me my hull -8 but happy enough with the wincast. 2 from 3 this season on handicap betting should have been 3 from 3 but late tries messed that up. Onto captain Chris 2moro we go :)
Crewe Alexandra are 21/20 to win or draw (double chance) tomorrow at home. There last two homes games they’ve won to nil 2-0 and 3-0. Decent odds considering form
Cheers Burt, Neil and Pete T mate, been a good start to the super league season 2 from 2 last night and 2 from 2 again tonight :)
On a sad note, just heard of the passing of Sir Tom Finney, 91, proper legend and a England legend.
91 is not sad, just celebrate his life….
Mr. F, close on the Super Single and Top Treble. Ibrahimovic scores second and Bologna fails to score against Milan with the rest home safe. Don’t you hate it when you’re only JUST off. Sometimes, it’s the ball hitting the woodwork by less than a quarter of an inch that breaks your bets. Unlucky.
Rustychest, I usually go close. Had a couple of singles up – Mainz and Elche HT draw and a couple of doubles so an OK night.
Good stuff Paul, there will be no sliding knee celebrations on that stuff, haha!
Preston/England legend, RIP Sir Tom, I expect a even better turn out than previously expected at Deepdale for the game against Orient tomorrow now!
Cheers,Chief you know your stuff I was on both of your picks also put in crooks, good game plenty off tries credit to you mr.fixit for running such a good site and attracting all the top blokes with there knowledge of all different sports thanks again, my main bet for sat Lambert anytime 7/4 @ladbrokes
Just home from a nice romantic valentines dinner with the missus to find one of my trebles up and another wee acca, i just couldn’t resist Milan -2 corners, i don’t even know tonight’s results…
Milan -2 corners 10/11 WIN
PSG win both halves 11/10 WIN
Dijon -1……….. 1/1 WIN
My other treble was let down by Swindon but heyho i’m happy with my profit…
Wasn’t expecting to bet again tonight but a game has caught me where goals, surely (don’t call me Shirley) look very likely. On the back of my Cobreloa bet coming through…
COLO COLO v RANGERS – 11.30pm
1st v 12th. Colo Colo have 16 points from 6 games. 27 goals in those 6 games. Rangers themselves have enjoyed plenty of goals in their games, 20 goals in 6 games.
Over 3.5 match goals, 5/4.
Also gone for BTTS at 10/11. Dunno if anyone else is looking at this?

Hope others got on!
Just at home from Den Bosch – Sparta. Hope you guys took my advice not to include the achilles game in the overs in the dutch jupiler league. The only one which wasn’t over 1.5
Neil just had at look at both teams form, looks a good bet, I was thinking of getting on over 2.5 and doubling it up with something tomorrow but instead of chasing tonight’s losses I’ll wait and see what tomorrow brings! Good luck!
Good thing you didn’t, Nathan. 0-0 after 40 minutes. Man, I do know how to pick them sometimes.
WHAT A 90 SECONDS! :D :D
Doesn’t look like I know how to work the replies around here. Tried to ‘quote’ my tip but ended up just editing my original post. Anyway, Mr F or whoever can vouch for that tip coming very much before that match.
Anyway, hope people got on that.
