THERE are 11 different competitions covered on most of the popular long lists and that makes it tricky for punters to dig out accamulators
I've covered the UK card elsewhere and on the continent best bets could be Roma in the Italian Cup at home to Atalanta.
Roma are on a great run with four successive Serie A wins and have beaten their opponents in their last six meetings in the Olympic Stadium. They are expected to put out a strong side for this last-16 clash and are 19-20 at Betway to win.
I've tipped Arsenal at minus one but for the purpose of the treble take them simply to win. And add Norwich at home to Aston Villa to complete the line.
My Super Single is PSG who travel to Valenciennes on the back of a superb 4-0 over Evian following victory against Porto in the Champions League. PSG have Javier Pastore and Thiago Motta in good form while Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned to the goal trail against Evian. Valenciennes are unbeaten at home but PSG can take this having lost just once on their travels.
After being denied by Sampdoria's missed penalty and Rayo Vallecano's fluffed chance for my both teams to score treble I'm not spending too much time on my selections because in cup competitions normal rules go out the window.
I can't leave out ICT v Ross County after 10 goals in two meetings this season and four out of five clashes between Hereford and Cheltenham have finished 1-1 so add that one.
And take another FA Cup replay between Southend and Bury. Recent meetings have both been 1-1 and it will be tight again.
Clyde v Queen's Park is now off so I've swapped with Newport v Luton in the Blue Square Conference.
Complete the line with Nice v Rennes with both teams scoring in five of their last six matches.

Pays a biggest £168.60 to a £10 stake at Stan James
Paul Chamberlain is only 9/2 with Bet365 and 5/1 with hills so 9/1 is a very good price. Have Betfred stopped doing ew on goalscorers?
Chris, I don’t have a Betfred account so I don’t about the ew scorers but if they’re not listed they could have stopped or not doing them for certain games.
Paul, starting to get sick and tired of Stan James now. As you know I usually do £50 on btts but they have been restricting my stakes to £25 – £30. I didn’t even attempt to bet £50 on if again so deposited £25 and tried to place a bet and they would only accept a maximum stake of £20. That’s pretty ludicrous for a five fold.
Chris, it’s a poor show for such a big firm. Wonder if they’re getting hit hard because they seem to be biggest price for virtually every btts line I quote.
What happened to the they are a businees scenario you said that wen i flagged up betfred changing the 5/6 prices to 8/11 lol now all of a sudden its bad show for such a big business like stan james must be a diff business lol
1plus2, it’s totally different, changing prices from not taking bets.
Just having a lsff m8 typical bookies all robbing gits lol
Think all sfl games are off
Mr Broke it, looks like Alloa v QoS is the only survivor on the plastic.
Small stake for me tonight
btts 4fold if games go ahead
Norwich v villa
newport v luton
hereford v cheltenham
inverness v ross county
Mr chris guy, I use stan james for my online betting and also getting fed up with them. Poor market selections on certain games sometimes I.e. Shaktar v juve last week in champs league only 2 markets available!! Poor if they are restricting stakes like that
HEREFORD V CHELTENHAM
INVERNESS V ROSS CO
MOTHERWELL V ABERDEEN
PSG
BTS in the 1st three games, PSG to win. Pays 9/1
I know Sean its unreal. I can see the point if I’m staking £200 on a single every day but not £25 on a five fold. I tried to put a bet on last Goalscorer a while back and they only had prices for first Goalscorer despite this being the same bet.
Here are my beta for tonight:
£20 on Mr Fixits BTTS @ 16/1
£40 on Chamberlain First Goalscorer @ 9/1
£15 on Chamberlain Last Goalscorer @ 9/1
£10 on HT Bradford FT Arsenal @ 28/1
£20 ew on Billy McKay First Goalscorer @ 6/1
Chris, must be first time I’ve put more on a bet than you (btts). Also I see Ladbrokes will refund all losing first scorer bets if Bradford score first as you obviously fancy. I know Bradford beat Wigan and are going well but with no game until a week on Monday and no trophy for seven years I wouldn’t understand it if Wenger didn’t put out a strong side and go for the win.
Think Chamberlain is starting. Racing post don’t seem to think Podolski will start either. Paul I had noticed the money back offer earlier but according to the bet rescue website its correct scores Ladbrokes are refunding and not goalscorers
Chris, if I get time I’ll check. It was on the board in the shop I was in and I’m sure it said first scorers. Could be different online.
Chris, Ladrokes offer is if Bradford score first all correct score bets refunded.
FA CUP 7.45 K/O
Hereford v Cheltenham
Hereford @2/1 look a great shout, Cheltenham have never beaten Hereford.
Valenciennes V PSG 6 k/o
Home form for Valenciennes is very good, haven’t lost a game this season at home in the league and only conceded 4 goals. PSG away form, lost the last one 2-1 to nice, I’m going to have ago at PSG @1/1, should have too much going forward for Valenciennes.
Newport V Luton 7.45 k/o
Thinking this has draw written all over it and @12/5 will be adding this to my treble.
HEREFORD 2/1
PSG 1/1
NEWPORT V LUTON Draw 12/5
SINGLE
Anderlecht – Anderlecht @15/8
Chris – £100 on a tues night cup games. thats brave ma man. I fancy giving paddypowers ‘to score in both halfs’ coupon a go tonight. Anyone done it?
Roma psg notts county arsenal
Gone with all of fix its tips, singles across the board along with the top treble and a BTTS Accum. Also got a free £20 bet from 888sport so went with ICT, arsenal, roma and PSG. Heres PSG on early kick off gets us of to aa good start.
Really fancy Arsenal to win big tonight and have put load of bets on as have a feeling they will play strong team. -1 at evens looks great bet to me but also 11/5 at -2 and 6-1 at minus 3. Also taken them to score at least 3 goals at 6/5 and to score both halfs at 10/11 along with HT/FT and over 3.5 and 4.5 goals in the game. Safe to say a Bradford win or low scoring draw would be a total disaster for me !!
Neil, I’m not as confident as you so sticking to the -1 until I see the teams.
Let’s see how it goes tonight – I’ve picked out the following 2 of Mr. Fixits tips out.
Norwich – Aston Villa
Norwich
13.04 units (6.52 % of my fixed bankroll until Sunday)
Bradford – Arsenal
Arsenal -1
15 units (7.50 %)
The Dane :-)
Looks some good value, hope everything comes off tonight
Need galatasary to win for first treble to come in, buggers getting beat 1-0
A five game accy the night. Newport,Norwich,Motherwell,Hereford,Inverness all btts here’s hoping better luck than the weekend good luck guys
paddy powers offer on arsenal game tonight. place a bet before kick off, and receive a free bet to same value to use in play. for phone and text bets only
Didn’t even realise PSG were playing. Ibrahimovic first goal
Chris, did you get the bet on.
I hate it when a btts bet goes into ht at 0-0
Yeah I thought so Paul and people obviously think its a possibility as it was tipped in the racing post. Bradford to score first at 14/5
On btts? Yeah only £20
Chris, I meant did you back Ibra to score first?
I know Stevie but go big or go home is my moto
Imo french football is so negative, i would never bet on it
I know Paul starting line up was always going to be crucial for my bets. Just seen the arsenal line though and it’s pretty much first team . Confidence is high now . Looks strong line ups across the board for the league cup games though, teams obviously taking seriously at this stage !!
Ibrahimovic hat trick ooft
That’s crap he is on the bench. Who we going for then for first scorer?
Chris, it would be Cazorla or probably Podolski who I mentioned earlier but certainly a strong Gunners side.
that saying go big or go home can apply to everyone depending on what they see as big ano folk over here who would see ure bets as nothing more than pocket change all depends on peoples circumstances also seen people lose 10k in a matter of minutes and not bat an eye wich a find a bit sick
Nice have scored. Just need Rennes now.
Input of frustration of my player not starting I’ve just stuck £10 on Kieran Gibbs first goal @ 57/1 for the sheer hell of it :-)
No never backed him Paul. Forgot all about him
Looks like psg super single is in the bag paul. Can celtic get them in champs league? Dont think they want to get them. They are flyin at the moment!
Alex, keep Ibrahimovic quiet and you have a chance. He is key to everything they do and they struggle when he’s not playing or not on form.
Is it just me or do we appear to have terrible bad luck at the moment with the btts. No chance of Rennes scoring as they have had 2 bloody sending offs!!
Chris, we’ve had some bad luck with missed pens and sendings-off in particular. Two for Rennes is bad news but then we did OK on Saturday.
Arsenal to score in both halves @ 10/11 with Stam James is my super single!!
WOW ! that’s quite a strong arsenal team tonight.
Arsene knows this is the only chance of a trophy this season !
Chris, he said it would be stronger than usual but that’s about the strongest available to him. I’m on -1 and thinking about adding -2.
I know. I don’t mean that Paul I mean the sending offs and missed pens etc. I wonder if any team down to 9 men have ever managed to score
I’ve just got on Gervinho 3 or more goals @ 18/1
only one bet tonite, adam le fondre 7/1 first goal £10ew
Anyone who bet arsenal must be happy with that line up! Should be 3 or 4 goal win for them! Think wenger needs to get a cup this yr!
Alex, Vermaelen looking dangerous at set-pieces.
aw well, 2 mins in bet down lol. Had to be that runt mcclean aswell, really hate that guy.
SINGLE
Anderlecht – Anderlecht @15/8 / LOST !
SINGLE
Gervinho 3+ Goals 18/1
TREBLE
PSG 1/1 / WON !
HEREFORD 2/1
NEWPORT V LUTON Draw 12/5
Not watchin paul. But once they get 1 the floodgates should open!
Alex, Arsenal need at least three now but loads of time.
Bradford 1 nil up
Nice Bradford pick for 1st goal guys
Small accy for me sund norw caley well
Darren, it was good tip but not mine. Credit I think goes to Racing Post for that one.
Come on arsenal what is going on . Worried now , be different if that was bradfords only chance but they look dangerous going forward . Last time I’m putting big money on a single team . Never seems to work and end up bag of nerves watching the game !!!
Neil, Bradford have played well but surely it will be backs-to-the-wall for them after the break.
OMG Gervinho !
So far going good for me. £200 back from McKay penalty and my £40 first goal refunded on Chamberlain first goal. Also I have £10 on ht Bradford Full time Arsenal at 28/1. Come on Arsenal!!
Hi Paul, just waiting on the Bulls to notch for treble. Bulls have lost Bownan up front with an injury early on not sure how valuable he is but may just lay off and take a bet to nothing. Ps I dont always get a chance to post up as work is busy but welcome to check out my face book page that i blog on just for a hobby , Soccer Tips English Football.
Can’t believe Arsenal are only 7/5 to win in 90 mins! My 28/1 is starting to look very attractive!!
chris had Bradford ht Arsenal ft at 28/1… theres a great chance now!!!
I ended up taken Sunderland, Southend, M’Well & Villa games btts. 2 games 0-0 ht!!! pft
Here’s hoping Steven
If the gooners get beat tonite wenger has to walk. As he has lost the dressin rm.
Alex, can’t believe the way they’re playing with their strongest side out and a semi-final up for grabs. He’ll never walk in my opinion but it’s a shocker.
Thanks to Paul for the McKay tip. Wouldn’t have thought of backing him otherwise
I think he will have to walk. Unreal
HEREFORD V CHELTENHAM
INVERNESS V ROSS CO
MOTHERWELL V ABERDEEN
PSG
BTS in the 1st three games, PSG to win. Pays 9/1
Must be the only Aberdeen fan cheering on Motherwell right now! Just need a well goal for a £750 return!
COME ON MOTHERWELL!!!!
Al, right at the death so well done.
Was never in doubt Mr F! haha
Perfect timing for the goal with me being a dons fan, not enough time left for Motherwell to get another!
Got £50 e/w on the dons for the cup @ 22/1!
Super line buddy
GET IN!!! Now ref, full time please!
Got nice wee btts 4 folds up :)
Mr Broke it, 4 out of five btts for me again for small profit. Who knows what would have happened if Rennes hadn’t been reduced to nine?
went with the top treble, not looking so good. also done the btts but luckily missed the nice rennes game!
Well done Al, great line buddy.
9 Mr fixit? Jeezo. think 2 got sent off in the Lyon game on Sunday. Im not a fan of french or Italian football especially to bet on
Mr Broke it, Italian games have been OK this season, more goals than usual, but French have been a letdown overall.
Unlucky on the BTS Paul opted for The Norwich v Villa / Inverness v Ross & Hereford v Cheltenham, had a 1.5pt treble so made reasonable profit. Great call on Mc Kinley for Inverness, don’t really follow the Scottish league so thanks for highlighting that fixture.
Paddywack, it’s Billy McKay and he’s scored five or six in his last six games.
Lol, sorry Paul had it wriiten b4 I realised, think the last time I watched Scottish footie seriously, Billy Mc Kinley was struting his stuff for Celtic, apologies and thx again for highlighting the game.
Arsenal to win in extra time was 15/2 before kick off
Got to thank u for tipping the newport luton game Mr fixit, was going to pick the alloa game but wasn’t on the cupon thank god so picked newport game instead cheers
Mr Broke it, I’d have fancied Alloa to be honest, surprise that QoS didn’t score. Left it off mainly because of doubts over the pitch.
Ok now for tomorrow, Mulgrew or Wanyama, decisions decisions
Chris, putting out a strong team. Could be on for Wanyama.
I stand to win £90 if Bradford City to win in extra time or penalties. Can it happen?
Mister Mr, was reading earlier about Bradford’s great shoot-out record, nine out of nine I think.
I hope they make it 10 out of 10. Come on Bradford, get to penalties at least
Cheeky £20 on Bradford to win on pens @ 7/2 with 10 mins to go.
1 team on Monday (Lazio) and 1 team tonight (Reading failing to score)
ALWAYS ONE grrrrrrr!!!!
Unbelievable. Bradford came good but what’s going on at Arsenal? I’ll put them down to win their next game
Mister Mr, an interesting one away to Reading next Monday. Could it be another high scorer after their 7-5?
Paul Celtic to be winning in 30 mins @ 17/20 with Ladbrokes. Surely?
Chris, you would think so. But look what happened at Bradford.
Hmmm Reading away eh? I think a definite both teams to score I think
Odds are bit poor on Wednesdays game’s so just a £10 bet for me.
MANSFIELD V LINCON (BTS)
OXFORD V ACCRINGTON STANLEY (BTS)
DUMBARTON V HAMILTON (BTS)
ARBROATH V CELTIC (OVER 1.5 1ST HALF GOALS)
SWANSEA V MIDDLESBORO (SWANSEA OVER 1.5 GOALS)
5 FOLD PAYS 11/1
Al, Dumbarton v Hamilton will almost certainly be off. Morning pitch inspection to confirm.
Yeah it’s off! Just threw it in on the off chance the game would go ahead. Without that game my line now pays around 15/2
Paul thinking about putting £100 on Wanyama to score anytime at 10/3 and £50 on Mulgrew anytime at 4/1.
If Wanyama scores anytime I get £433 back for my £150 stake (£288 profit)
If Mulgrew scores anytime I get £250 back for my £150 stake (£100 profit)
If both score anytime I get £688 back for my £150 stake (£533 profit).
What you reckon Paul? Worth the risk? It’s money I won today that is be spending anyway.
Chris, you know my thinking. Neither bet is guaranteed but both could come up. It’s really up to you but I rarely put much on scorers.
£5 on Celtic -2, Juventus, Baca, Lyon & Swansea/Boro btts at PP £39
£5 on mulgrew anytime Celtic win 6/1 at hills.
Will catch 1st half before another long night reading every paper back tae front
Craig, fancy a swap. I’ll miss the first half to go to a school show, come back and walk the dog and maybe catch the finish.
Haha think I’ll pass in that one, phone battery died out on
me last night so taking charger in tonight and watch a film or SA football. It’s the Vion/Halls warehouse in Livingston but cos it’s shutting down in the new yr it’s only gettin busy next wk for Xmas, hopefully get a few freebies this yr again haha
