THERE wasn't much for me to look at on Monday but I picked out a winning 6-5 double on junior football.

I backed wins for Girvan and Petershill against Maryhill and Irvine Meadow in the West Super League and it was 2-0 and 3-0 respectively.

It's rare for me to put up junior tips and I'll keep it that way as I know not everyone will have accounts that allow them to do these bets.

Tuesday's another quiet one with three more League of Ireland games and I've picked out two bets for a double. Take Bray to score 2+ at struggling Drogheda who have conceded nine in three games.

Second-placed Dundalk face fourth-placed Derry and it should be a good one. Dundalk are desperate to close the gap on leaders Cork but won't get it easy against a side returning to form. I like the look of both to score.

    England U20 v Guinea U20 (9am, U20s WC)

    England U20 Over 1.5 Team Goals @1.4

    Not the largest odds but nice to bank build or combine with something else that takes your fancy.

    Gl all and keep up the cracking vibe on here at the moment.

    • baggio 7 years ago

      Lumping on the win @ 1.28. This is Guinea we’re talking about here.

    • baggio 7 years ago

      Wow! Thats now 1.16 now down from last night.

    • baggio 7 years ago

      Unbelievable!! 1-1. Who knew guinea are a world force in football.

    • oz777 7 years ago

      @williams1993 @baggio
      There are THREE things guaranteed in life guys, taxes, death, and British teams coming unstuck against the minnows of world football, at ALL levels of the game, and in ALL competitions.

      I learned years ago that if you want to keep your betting funds in the black, DON’T bet on kids’ or women’s football. It’s hard enough trying to predict the senior men’s game, but it’s a wee bit easier than gambling with inexperienced weans or women…

    • Mr Fixit 7 years ago

      Don’t be sexist please – I’ve edited the comment.
      If you haven’t seen the Guinea goal have a look – a crazy OG from almost the halfway line.

    • oz777 7 years ago

      Ha ha. It wasn’t meant to be a sexist comment Mr F.

    • oz777 7 years ago

      Just watched it Mr F. Ooops….
      Feel sorry for anyone who lost money on that one. Although, the fact that an England U20s team can’t beat a Guinean U20s team is more laughable…

    Repost from October 2016
    ————————————

    I have noticed this season that the top sides are struggling to keep clean sheets (frustrating millions of fantasy football managers in the process!). Despite recording some comfortable wins, many have failed to keep even the weakest opposition out at the other end.

    I decided to study the results more closely and found an angle that I feel could be profitable in the long term. The area I am interested in is the BTTS & match winner market.

    Each gameweek I shall be placing a 0.5 point Yankee (11 individual bets comprising doubles, trebles and a 4-way accumulator) in which I back 4 of the ‘big 6′ teams to win whilst conceding at least once. In cases where 2 of the teams face each other I shall back the other 4 unless there are unusual circumstances like an injury crisis or an important upcoming European game. In this scenario I shall select a ‘next best’ team for my bet.

    Looking at the next couple of gameweeks (unfortunately I could not find historical odds for this market anywhere), these sides are typically priced up at a minimum of around 2/1. Using these odds I have calculated the following:

    2 winners = 0.5pts returns 4.5pts
    3 winners = 0.5pts returns 27pts
    4 winners = 0.5pts returns 121.5pts

    With a total of 5.5pts staked each gameweek, you are looking at a small loss for 2 winners but once you get another winner on board the profits shoot up. 4/4 and you’re looking at a big return.

    I then applied these figures to this season’s matches by selecting a ‘typical’ set of 4 teams each gameweek. Of course this is open to speculation but I tried to select them as realistically as possible. The results were impressive…

    Week 1: Staked 5.5pts, Returned 27pts
    Week 2: Staked 5.5pts, Returned 4.5pts
    Week 3: Staked 5.5pts, Returned 4.5pts
    Week 4: Staked 5.5pts, Returned 4.5pts
    Week 5: Staked 5.5pts, Returned 0pts
    Week 6: Staked 5.5pts, Returned 121.5pts
    Week 7: Staked 5.5pts, Returned 0pts
    Week 8: Staked 5.5pts, Returned 0pts

    Totals: Staked 44pts, Returned 162pts
    Profit: 118pts

    Whilst I am aware this could have been due to an unusually open start to the season and that the results may settle down into something more familiar I am happy to take a chance on this trend continuing and hopefully I will select the right 4 teams more often than not!
    —————————–

    Final totals:
    Staked 165pts, Returned 207.2pts
    Profit 42.2pts

    This experiment turned out to be an enjoyable one, with a fairly decent return over the course of the season. Out of the remaining 30 gameweeks, 4 produced 3 winning selections averaging a 40pt return, whilst 9 produced 2 winners returning a small loss or profit. Although there were no ‘perfect’ gameweeks, I came close on a couple of occasions (most memorably when Palace couldn’t manage a consolation v Arsenal in GW19). Other close calls included an Ibrahimovic penalty miss v Bournemouth and Otamendi clearing off the line at Watford when 5-0 up on Sunday! Goals in each of these cases would have boosted profits considerably.

    I have decided to continue with the system for next season as it provides additional interest in games over the course of the weekend, whilst (hopefully) adding to the annual profit figures…

    Thanks for reading!

    • Mr Fixit 7 years ago

      Look forward to it – I’ll also try to do more win & btts tips as they’re extremely popular.

    • desy 7 years ago

      I’ve been doing it for a while now mrf (btts & win) usually by looking at yours, hulls, Greg and Scott’s weekend btts selections. Looking at the price of the fav, if it’s low I usually make a double or treble out of it. Done alright out of it.
      Like tonight, mind I didn’t back it as bar a few cup matches I’m done for the season.
      Your selection of Dundalk Btts is In running Dundalk are 1.72 to win, yet 5.50 btts win.
      Been a good season too :)

    • Mr Fixit 7 years ago

      You certainly get great prices – no joy with Dundalk tonight though.

    • stagger 7 years ago

      An excellent read.

    • cockerspaniel 7 years ago

      Well put tisico, but as you incur a small loss or win if you get two winners, would you not be better going for trebles and an acca and leaving the doubles out ?

    • fisico 7 years ago

      Thanks for the response @cockerspaniel. Although the overall stake would obviously be a lot lower, the returns during winning weeks would be lower (typically around half for 3 winners) as they wouldn’t include the winning doubles. I applied it to this season’s results and only came out with an 11pt profit.

    • phillis 7 years ago

      I done the same on 4 big games on the weekend for a corner in the first 9mins all priced at 5/6 you would be surprised on how long them 9 minutes are

    • cockerspaniel 7 years ago

      Sorry for the delay getting back to you fisico, your bet is well worth considering, good luck with it next season

    Gaz Metan Medias – Concordia Chiajna
    ==================================
    Gaz Metan :
    – was defeated with the score 0-1 against CSM, in the last play-out round
    – as a result of this defeat, they remain in second place in the standings with 34 points
    – scored not less than 7 goals in the last two games played home, 3 against Pandurii, and 4 against FC Voluntari
    – only 3 of the 11 games played in play-out ended with more than 2.5 goals scored
    – won 4 from last 5 games against Chiajna
    Chiajna :
    – lost dramatically in the last round of the championship, score 2-3 on the field of Pandurii, one of the opponents in the fight to avoid relegation
    – As a result of this defeat, Concordia Chiajna fell back to 6th place in the standings, being equal to points with Poli Timisoara and Pandurii Targu-Jiu
    – did not have any victory on away games in this play-off, recording only two draws in the 5 away games played
    ===================================
    – 6 of the last seven direct meetings between the two teams ended with the hosts victory, whether it was Gaz Metan or Concordia Chiajna
    – Concordia Chiajna is the more motivated team in this game and will probably win a victory in this match, even if they have only one victory on Medias field in their entire history
    – So I count on a positive result of the guests, and I think the holiday atmosphere of the host will mark the final result of this game
    ====================================
    Bet :
    – Concordia not to lose @ 1.63
    – Concordia Chiajna DNB @ 2.35 – 4u
    ====================================
    Combo @ 2.90 – 3u
    – Gaz Metan – Chiajna – Chiajna not to lose @ 1.63
    – Poli Timisoara – Pandurii – under 2.5 goals @ 1.78
    =====================================

    GAIS vs Gefle IF – over 2.5 MG’s

    Italy Serie B 19:30
    Benevento vs Spezia – Spezia to score in 2nd half
    Benevento vs Spezia – over 4.5 first half Asian corners

    4-Fold 12.61/1 Bet365

    Regarding Spezia, they have to score and win tonight I believe as Benevento finished higher in the table than them so if its a draw at 90 mins Benevento would be the ones to progress. Benevento have conceded second half goals in four of their last five home games so the 11/10 available for Spezia on that market, who need to score, makes sense. Also Benevento’s last four homes saw at least five corners at the interval and in addition yesterday’s first preliminary match surpassed the 4.5 line.

    GAIS have just come off conceding seven in the Sweden Superettan whilst Gefle are routed to the bottom with the worst goal difference and their last four matches all saw over scorelines.

    Four of Odd 3’s last five matches saw at least two goals before the interval.
    Three of Sarpborg 2’s last five matches saw at least two goals before the interval.

    Good luck all

    I think the price for Cordoba team goals is tempting and am also taking both teams to score in the opening ’45 simply because it is too big for any SA game and Cordoba have kept just one clean sheet in 8 (which ironically reflects Crane’s ‘dry sleep-through’ personal best)
