IT was a disappointing weekend with two losers on Sunday following a poor Saturday.

Luckily we have Greg on board and his nap won again – that's possibly six in a row – with over 2.5 goals at Freiburg.

On the forum I'm closing in on a successful £10 to £100 challenge after yesterday's winner and one bet could do it but I'll probably go for two short ones. And my new Bet of the Day which only features teams to score was two out of two thanks to Frosinone and Bordeaux.

There's just four days to Christmas now and it would be nice to land a couple of winners but there's not a huge amount to look at today.

The big game is Arsenal v Man City in the Premier League and it's difficult to get away from the fact it could be a draw that doesn't harm either side. I've posted a full preview.

I wasn't going to do a Super Single but having looked at the stats for Osmanlispor v Besiktas. Osmanlispor have the worst home record in the league with one win and one draw and in all competitions they've lost their last five games in front of their own fans without scoring – four of them by 1-0.

Besiktas have won on their last three visits – 3-0, 4-1 and 3-1 – and have lost just once in nine trips to face the Ankara side. A win here will put Besiktas one point clear of Fenerbahce at the top of the table and open a gap on third-placed Galatasaray to eight points and that's a great carrot.

I'm risking 2.5pts in a bid to return to profit – if that's too much for you reduce the stake. Mario Gomez has netted in four of his last five matches and 13 in total this season. The German veteran is 6-5 at Ladbrokes to net at any time.

I looked at putting up a Top Treble but to be honest the choice is limited and I'm not throwing away points for the sake of it. I considered Braga at home to Pacos and both to score at AEK v Levadiakos and Jong Ajax v Volendam.

    Hi guys,
    Bad weekend for me, i hope i will do better during the week.

    Btts and also btts+over2.5 doubles:
    paderborn
    Jong ajax
    If someone likes trebles as i do, i will add Arsenal. I have my thoughts that this game will be 0-0 so i will go for low stakes on the trebles.

    Morning gents – one bet from me today

    The SPL u20 league has been good for goals again this season!

    There are a couple games today I like the look of

    Aberdeen v Motherwell KO 2pm
    Kilmarnock v Hearts KO 6pm

    Back over 2.5 match goals double 13/10 (Bet365) (NAP)

    • the lucky filipino 8 years ago

      Thanks for that tip Greg..only did the Aberdeen u20 game as a single.. Good luck with the last game mate..

  8. stubhoy 8 years ago

    All over this greg Goals galore i hope

  9. davisam 8 years ago

    5 points on Gregs NAP and 1 point on the following:
    Over 2.5 Goals in all matches.
    Aberdeen u20s – 2pm
    Kilmarnock u20s – 6pm
    Hamilton u20s – 6pm
    Paderborn – 7pm
    Arsenal – 8pm
    £10 on the 5fold returns just over £100
    Also fancy Arsenal for the win tonight, depends on how Gregs NAP goes whether or not I’ll have a punt. One of those games I’d rather bet with profit than my original stake money.

    Paderborn v Fortuna Dusseldorf

    2 bang average teams playing here. Both of them are in the bottom 4 of the league.
    . Paderborn scored 4 at home last time out so I fancy them to score a couple tonight against a team who haven’t kept a clean sheet away from home this season. Dusseldorf dont score too many away from home but they should manage at least one in this game .

    Over 1.5 Paderborn team goals (5/4)
    Over 2.5 and btts (6/5)

    • Mr Fixit 8 years ago

      chris guy, good luck. Either scorer would be a nice Xmas present.

  16. chris guy 8 years ago

    Thanks Mr Fixit, at 6ft 6 and 6ft 1 respectively, they are always worth a punt to score especially from a set piece. That’s the largest price I’ve seen them all season, especially Koscielny. Big Mertesacker is due a goal and how many times do defenders score in big games? Just shows you how important it is to shop around for prices as Coral offering almost double the odds of other bookies for anytime goalscorers. I’ve backed both but I fancy Mertesacker tonight and at 50/1 and 20/1 I couldn’t ignore the bet at those prices. Go on stick a few quid on yourself.

    • Mr Fixit 8 years ago

      chris guy, I’ve decided to join – fiver free bet on Koscielny at 35-1.
      Got to laugh sometimes. I was in my local Ladbrokes earlier and the manager was telling me they had one winning football bet on Saturday.
      That was a double on Chelsea and St Mirren and the guy admitted St Mirren was taken by mistake – he meant to do Rangers who were in the box above.

    Over 3.5 goals…5/4
    Over 1.5 BPA team goals…6/4

    Sneaky feeling we might see a red at The Emirates tonight and don’t quote me on it but has been one in something like the last 5 h2h’s in London….it’s 11/4 at Skybet for another tonight.

    Do think we’ll see a few goals and have taken the Bet365 offer…free £50 in-play on Over 4.5 goals…4/1

    Good luck.

  41. Jordan 8 years ago

    Aguero starts for City and De Bruyne is back in the line up. Small interest here as I’m not a fan of 45 minute betting, but quite an interesting fact that I found is 7 of Arsenals last 8 goals conceded in the Premier League have been in the first half. City have also scored in the first half in their last 3 trips to the Emirates.

    • elvis parsley 8 years ago

      Mr fix it or anyone, a question.
      Earlier I went to hills to stick £100 on a team to score fourfold using their team to score coupon.
      One of them was Braga who were priced at 1-6 on the coupon.
      When he put the slip in it came up as a price change
      Braga to score 8-11 from 1-6
      Pacos to score 1-6 from 8-11

      This is clearly a mistake by them. I even told the cashier, but he wasn’t interested.
      Anyway I put the 100 on a single of Braga to score 8-11.
      I now have a docket which I know is a mistake.

      Are they liable to pay me now, and if they try and backtrack, is there anything I can do.
      Braga have scored by the way, so can they stop me getting my £172 ???????
      It’s done through their official coupon after all…..

    Ha ha Crane – years ago back home, used to work at a removals yard in Lower Broughton right opposite Strangeways and the Boddies brewery. Lad from Govan worked there for a while and was known as ‘F*ck-knows’ as when he tried to tell anyone anything, they just used to look at each other, ask what he’d said, shake their heads and say “f*ck knows”. Proper grafter he was but loved a drink!
