THERE'S always one and in the Europa League on Thursday that was Athletic Bilbao.
The Spaniards were held by Dinamo Bucharest to beat my moneyback fivefold – at least the stake was returned.
I wasn't so lucky with the Super Single as Everton huffed and puffed to a 1-0 win and backing them -2 was always a bit risky. My Top Treble looked good until a late flourish by Arka.
Greg had better luck with his 3-1 treble that won thanks to Panathinaikos, Bordeaux and AEK Larnaca.
On Friday we see the start of one of Greg's favourite leagues so there could be French tips from him.
In the League of Ireland there are four games and another four in the first division and Sean Ireland has posted some tips.
There's not much for me to look at and it was going to be a no-bet day until I remembered Bray Wanderers' predicament. Sean is tipping over 2.5 goals for the visit of Finn Harps but I'm taking a chance on Harps draw no bet at 7-4 with Paddy Power.
Bray have lost three in a row by two goals and are in a mess on and off the field with many senior players wanting out. And if you want a laugh read the statement on their club website about how they aim to resolve financial problems.
Chairman Gerry Mulvey has put his name to it and here's a flavour: “Wicklow County has unfortunately now attained the accolade of being the North Korea of Ireland for business. But like all suppressed people, they eventually revolt, a revolution of football is going to start and Bray Wanderers will be the leaders not just for Wicklow but for Ireland in this revolt.”
He goes on to say: “We will build an academy to ‘rival the best in the world'.”
This guy doesn't live in North Korea but does come from Cloud Cuckoo Land. It's believed players were stunned by the statement and it's difficult to see how they can have their minds on the job tonight. Tempted by Harps to win at 11-4 with Paddy Power but will take the less risky option. Have actually seen someone tipping Harps -2 at 8-1.
I'm also doing a double – Sean and others have tipped on-form Shamrock Rovers to beat Bohemians at home at around 1-2 so check his comments.
My own tip is both to score in the Bundesliga 2 opener between Bochum and St Pauli. The rivals have been in good scoring form pre-season and the fixture has a history of goals.
Five of the last six meetings have seen both score as have the last five in Bochum – most of them scoring draws. Both to score pays 4-5 at Stan James while draw and btts is 18-5 at McBookie.
I've written my Betfred Cup preview for Saturday's Daily Record and will post here after the paper's published. Once again I have a moneyback fivefold and so far for a £20 level stake the bet's £90 in profit.
I'm putting this one up now as prices may fall. Take Hibs, Ross County, Inverness, Partick and Motherwell at 5-2 with Marathonbet. If you prefer back the favourites to win by at least two at 14-1 with Betfred.

CORK WIN . WATERFORD WIN. SONDERJYSKE WIN 11/8 marathonbet
League of Ireland
Cork v Galway
Cork have to adjust to life without the free scoring sean maguire { signed for Preston}who has bagged 20 lg goals from 21 lg games and will be a huge loss for Cork.
Still cant see anything other than a home win though but odds of 1/4 offer little value so taking into account Cork only conceding 2 from last 5 homes and 5 from 10 lg homes whilst Galway are joint worst lg away scorers with just 3 goals from last 5 aways i can still see cork covering the -1 handicap @ 4/6 paddypower.
Shamrock rvrs v Boh’s
Rovers have won 4/5 lg homes losing none and won last lg game away at Dundalk whilst Bohs have lost 3 on the bounce,Rovers have also won last 3 meetings all 2017 so ill take them to continue that sequence tonight. Shamrock rvrs win @ 8/13 paddypower.
Bray v Finn harps
Second and third worst defences in the lg face off tonight with Bray conceding 42 from 23 and Harps conceding 40 from 22 so we should expect both to concede again.With the average home goals ratio reading 3.45 for Bray and aways at 3.27 for Finn harps plus the last 3 meetings all going over 2.5 i see no reason not to back tonights game following a similar pattern. Over 2.5 mgs @ 5/6 paddypower.
Good Luck.
Cheers, just remembered the problems faced by Bray and why I tipped against them last week. Going with Finn Harps dnb as the Super Single.
Any one know if Werder Bremen v West Ham is today or tomorrow.
Sky have it on Saturday 14.30 and bet365 have it Friday. 17.30.
@cockerspaniel it’s on today, 5.30pm. West Ham Twitter says so, as does Flashscore.
Thoughts on the match buddy? I quite like West Ham win, or DNB. But haven’t seen full lineups yet.
Cheers william. I was looking at a West Ham win 9/5. But as you say would have to see the line ups
Thanks again.
Both are correct as it’s back to back games
We should put out a strong team but will be without Lanzini, Antonio, Hernandez and obviously Carroll and Sakho
Arnautovic should take some part if he doesn’t start
Cheers.

SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS U20 VS. RB BRASIL U20 (1900 KO):
Red Bull Youth were pretty good for me over the last two seasons and hopefully this one follows suit for goals!
Over 2.5 MGS pays a measly 1/2 and it’s just not worth the gamble…I do like the look of the Goal Line though 3.0 pays 1.800 (4/5) and obviously pays out on a 4th goal or returns the full stake on 3.
Hosts SJDC are in horrible form; 1 win in 8 and 18 goals conceded in that spell point to a team in freefall – highly unlikely that RB will offer much respite and, although they come into this on the back of two 0-0 draws, they are vastly superior in terms of players, squad and general resources.
Aside from the two goaless games, RB have scored 3-2-3-4-2-2-1-2-0-1-5-4 team goals across their last dozen games whilst the last H2H in September saw RB run out 0-4 winners away from home.
Between them, there has been only 2 of their last 15 games that have seen less than 3 goals with 70% of their combined last 10 going 4 or more!

Afternoon gents
Friday’s nignts are filling up nicely with the return of quite a few leagues, non more so than my favourite French Ligue 2
It’s always tough at the very start of a season to gauge how teams will do and who’s stonger, weaker etc
Picked out a home win and doing my usual ober 1.5 team goals
Nimes v Reims KO 7pm
The hosts ended the season in great form and only narrowly missed out on the promotion places! They are good at home and should be there again this season! Reims will also have asspirstions of finish top 6 but their away form isn’t the best and this is a tough opening day fixture for them ! Taking Nimes to edge this

Both Bochum and st Pauli have brought in new attackers. Both have had very good pre season. Can see the same as last game of last season an entertaining 3-1 to st Pauli. Will be surprised if it’s a cagey game
St Pauli score before 58:00. 5/6
I am on a penalty awarded in the
bochum v St Pauli match. 11/4 skyber
Bochum have signed Robbie Kruse who should be decent at that level.

My NAP went down at the first hurdle in Poland so now I’m using the remaining two selections with a darts pick:
Darts World Matchplay 19:20
Lewis vs Norris – Lewis -2.5
Belgium First Division A 19:30
Antwerp vs Anderlecht – over 4.5 first half Asian corners
League of Ireland Premier Division 19:45
Cork City vs Galway United – over 5.0 first half Asian corners
Treble 5.56/1 Bet365
The line for first half corners at Cork has now increased to 5.0 but there are usually a shed load of them in the first half of their matches so I’m happy to go with it
LOVELY stuff Bullseye :)
Cheers Clydeman – I have to admit I was touching cloth at the end! Lewis was cruising 13-5 and suddenly Norris goes on a crazy run of successive legs and gets it to 13-14. Just fell over the line in the end.
lol, to be honest mate, I saw it was 13-5, I never looked again, I got on late so my HC was -3.5, I cashed out when Antwerp game went over thank god!!! cheers again :)
2-2 on 56′ minutes ?
BRASIL U20 (1900 KO):
Red Bull Youth were pretty good for me over the last two seasons and hopefully this one follows suit for goals!
Over 2.5 MGS pays a measly 1/2 and it’s just not worth the gamble…I do like the look of the Goal Line though 3.0 pays 1.800 (4/5) and obviously pays out on a 4th goal or returns the full stake on 3.
Hosts SJDC are in horrible form; 1 win in 8 and 18 goals conceded in that spell point to a team in freefall – highly unlikely that RB will offer much respite and, although they come into this on the back of two 0-0 draws, they are vastly superior in terms of players, squad and general resources.

Cork btts & overs 6/4 **WON** saved a tonight a bit…..should have went for this as main bet
Wasn’t gonna post this as more people on it the more chance of not getting a payout but here goes.
Bet365 have league cup legue winners betting with Dundee utd 4/6 & Dundee 13/10. They play each other on Sunday in the final game with both teams on 9 points, Dundee utd top on goal difference. My brother text me saying you can get almost 4/1 by doing the double, win game & league. I’ve chucked £20 on it for £96.60 & also £20 on Dundee utd DC/ win league paying £53.84. I think they’ll both be void but may aswell chance it
If it’s a draw you might have 2 losers.
Just hope Dundee don’t win on penalties then, might cover it now haha
Totally forgot about that daft penalty point, knew there wid be a catch but Dundee win/win group at nearpy 4/1 is decent
Juventude v America MG Series B Brasil.
Could be a tight affair this between 1st and 3rd in the league, with America MG been a defensive monster away from home. I’ve a sneaky feeling it could be Btts though and at 11/10 I’ll have a pop
