OK, I've waffled enough on the Europa League ties and both teams to score selections so here are tonight's top tips.
Last night my treble came up at 7-1 thanks to Arsenal, PSG and AC Milan but it doesn't pay as much tonight.
I'm on Napoli, Liverpool and Newcastle, assuming the English sides put out strong sides at home to Young Boys and Maritimo respectively. Napoli look as if they're going for it at AIK Solna with superstar striker Edinson Cavani likely to start and 7-2 to score first.
This treble pays just 2-1 at Betway but you can boost it to 7-2 by adding short-priced favourites Atletico Madrid and Borussia M'gladbach.
I've mentioned some of the sides who are weakened as well some of those who will not be. So I've stuck up a “long shot” line which should only be played for small stakes. This features sides playing ones who won't be at full strength plus Napoli.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS FIXIT !!!!!!
Tony, I’ll pass it on when I present her with a new Bankies top tonight!
Wot about Cavani/Napoli wincast @ 13/8 Paul?
Jonathan, that looks good to me.
Mr F what’s your opinion on Nefchti, Copenhagen, Viktoria and Bordeaux to win? I’ve got a free £25 bet that I’m choking to use, but may wait to Saturday. Those 4 are teams that I think may win tonight. Madrid done me last night for £270 for £10 – Milan, Dortmund, PSG and Madrid. Ibra and The Hunter let me down on my anytime scorers I had £5 on 5 – Podolski, El Shaarawy, Aguero done the biz the other 2 didn’t…
Bingo, I’ve taken Bordeaux in my piece and Viktoria should win but it’s another away and not easy. Copenhagen also tough one at Molde but I think Neftchi should beat Partizan. You’ve taken four sides at decent odds so it’s asking a lot for all four to come up.
Cheers Mr F and well done on the treble and btts last night. Think I’ll wait to Saturday to use my £25 free bet… Although I’ll probably get itchy fingers later on and fire on a crazy bet!!!
Paul what about Gerrard for Liverpool?
Chris, been off the boil as far as I can tell and not a definite starter so check team news.
Im staying away from anzhi, the most frustrating team I’ve ever watched, eto’o thinks he’s a defensive midfielder (he’ll score 3 now I’ve said that Haha) the rest of the btts line looks good And the top treble
Mr Broke it, as I said they’re not prolific but surely will have to push forward especially if Udinese, as I expect, score.
Paul I’m thinking about playing it safe with Cavani. Going to put on £60 ew – total £120.
If he scores first I get £400 back (£280 profit)
If he scores 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th I get £130 back (£10 profit)
Chris, it’s probably a good shout. Cavani has to be favourite to score first but there are of course others who can beat him to it. I like anytime scorers as you know but the odds are a bit skinny.
Atletio Madrid to be winning in 30 mins is great value.
3 goals away last night from some money … will try again tonight with an accumulator of
Ath Madrid – win
Borussia M’glad – win
Bordeaux – win
Levante – win
Liverpool v Young Boys – over 2.5
AIK v Napoli – over 2.5
Sparta Prague v Lyon – over 2.5
Hannover v FC Twente – over 2.5
Rosenborg v Rapid V – BTTS
FC Basel v Sporting – BTTS
Steaua Buch’t v Stuttgart – BTTS
Molde v Copenhagen – BTTS
£5 brings in just under £2500 … I need some goals tonight!
AC, the drinks are on you if that one comes up.
Yeah Paul I’m hoping Cavani scored first. The each way just acts as an insurance for my money back if he doesn’t score first. If he scores first its a bonus
Ok guys here are my bets for tonight:
£60 ew Cavani First Goalscorer
£30 Mr Fixits btts
£10 Mr Fixits Long Shot
Atletico Madrid 2-0, 3-0, 4-0
Minchengladbach 1-0, 2-0, 3-0
Newcastle 1-0, 2-0, 2-1
27 x £1.50 Trebles
Still considering Suarez but will decide nearer the time. Good luck everyone.
How much the trebles pay mr chris guy?
£200 enough for me tonight. I will be happy with Csvani first goal as ill double my winnings.
dodgy treble paying 16/1
Lazio
Videoton
Academica
Paul im looking at getting on rubin to score over 1.5 goals at 11/10 depending on line ups,what u think?
Dale, too late for me to answer that sorry but looking good for you.
Hi Bob between £400 and £750 if I get a treble up. Only one possible treble can come up
Chris what’s that treble bet called
Anyone ever had on joy on the half time/full time market? I’m thinking of firing my £25 free bet with Betvictor on Spurs ht/draw ft and Twente ht/draw ft. 16/1 for each of them meaning a meaty £7225 if it comes in…
Bingo, it’s a free bet so wjhy not. But remember when you do HT/FT double it’s really a fourfold.
It’s goals, goals, goals for me tonight.
Udinese to score 1.5+ (3/1), 2.5+ (14/1)
Napoli to score 1.5+ (8/11), 2.5+ (11/4)
Lyon to score 1.5+ (11/4), 2.5+ (10/1)
Inter Milan to score 1.5+ (12/5), 2.5+ (10/1)
Levante to score 1.5+ (Evs), 2.5+ (7/2)
Permed 80 x trebles and 32 x five-folds. Returns a tidy some.
Come on the goals!!!
Good luck lads.
Charlie that must’ve bn some stake on they bets but good luck, popped into Ladbrokes went down at greggs for lunch. only small stakes cos these £5 & £10 deposit each time want a bet on phone adds up.

can someone tell me if I bet $20ew on cavani to score first at 7/2 the win for 2nd and third?

good luck everyone!
Paul you just pick 3 teams and 3 score lines including a draw if you want and its 27 x correct score trebles. 27 x 10p = £2.70, 27 x £1 = £27
Etc etc. if you’re betting online just add all the correct scores onto the slip and it comes up as 27 trebles. If you’re putting it on in the shop write this out on a betting slip;
Correct Scores
Team A 1-0, 2-0, 3-0
Team B 1-0, 1-1, 2-1
Team C 1-0, 3-0, 3-1
27 x £1 trebles
It’s always best to write down your prices too as it makes it easier for you and the bookies to calculate your winnings
Aaron its the first 5 goalscorers for ew. It’s also 1/3 the odds not 1/4.
If you stake $20 each way it will cost you $40
If Cavani scores first you get $133.33 back
If Cavani scores 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th you get $43.33 back so really just getting your stake back. Look at it as insurance.
just seen liverpool line up whos playing up front
Just seen the teams for Lazio v Spurs and I’m going for Spurs 21/10 and adding Bordeaux and Lazio. Spurs will be up for it after their fans got attacked last night and have named a very strong team.
Spurs, Bordeuax and Napoli that should say… £369.69 for £25 if it comes in.
never confident with any bet i place any more, but even less so on Europa League nights. Kept stakes to a minimum, with just £2 on an 8 fold (5 short priced teams, 3 value). and £3 on a 6 fold BTTS bet. good luck all, we going to need it!
Apparently Jonjo Shelvey is upfront for Liverpool tonight… I’ve just got 9/4 (3.25) at Stan James, Anytime Goalscorer – seems he’s still priced as a midfielder…seen as we put 5 past young boys away, well worth a value punt!
Crack Fox, cheers for the team news. I’d rather it was Suarez though.
cheers Mr Chris guy! gonna do ten each way. I bet with a private bookie so wanted to.know the exact crack as I won’t have a payout amount in front of me etc..
Same as u paul i dont like betting big on this tourney so liverpool -1 and newcastle -1 double for some interest. If shelvey news is right i may have an ew punt on him. Good luck all :)
cheers Chris guy, was for the best 81 yr old and deteriorated in space ae 6 months wi dementia, best thing for her. gd luck wi bets, got ma sprogre tae look after tonight so might catch 2nd half Liverpool game if he goes down early enough
Crack Fox Shelvey at a best price of 13/2 is not priced as a midfielder
Yeah Paul sack those early kick offs, leaves you deflated when line dud before the other games have even started. It’s ok if its the weekend and one of your games is the late kick off though
Assaidi playing up front with Shelvey out on the wing. Lets hope he doesnt make an ass of his opportunity
Paddy Power quick with the payout! Only withdrew last night and its in my account already. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing
Got my £200 Xmas bonus from work today!! Cavani to score first! Each way £200! Returns £666.66 if he scores first! Come on cavani!
Good luck Mike, thing most of us are waiting for him. I’ve lost a few bets already but will be happy with Csvani first goal
Fancy Falcao but simply unbackable. 7/4 best price for first Goalscorer and 4/11 anytime. Not risking any stupid money on it
Chris, is Falcao playing? I read that he was an unlikely starter.
Tried to put £130 on Atletico to score in both halves at 8/13 and £100 on Atletico to be winning after 30 mins at evs but too late!! Wait and see both of them will come in.
You’re right Paul he ain’t even on the bench
Chris, he’s not played in Europe this season.
Arsenal done me out of £450 as I needed them
To be winning in 30 mins!
Crap no Cavani
Chris, not playing or are u talking about first goal?
Woop Woop…Shelvey…
Nice one on Shelvey but I’d have scored that!
no first goal centre midfielder he is playing though anytime come on!
Paul what’s the script with monchengladbach? Do they need to win?
Chris, Borussia are joint second with Marseille so could do with winning.
Cavani is a flid
someone remind me not to bet on Europa League nights, cos they are just terrible for me, unless something drastic happens tonight, i may operate at a loss tonight, grrrrrrrh
Cheers for the heads up crack fox!! Wee tenner ew on shelvey :) If liverpool, newcastle handicap double comes in it’ll be a profitable night!
No he is playing Paul but I see he has been booked. Lets hope he scores next cos if not he may be taken off
Right Paul if you were picking a next Goalscorer for any if the games who would it be?
Chris, i don’t think you can pick a player if you’re not watching the game. I’ve got an eye on Liverpool and they’ll probably score again but I’m not sure who.
Chris, Liverpool miss great chance and Young Boys go straight up the park and score a cracker. That’s why I don’t like next scorer betting.
Only got 6/1 for shelvey but still no bad.
Mr.Chris – Demba Ba
Suarez comin on Chris guy, there’s yer man
Craig, that will get him interested. Half an hour to go and must have a chance.
Just stuck £20 on Ba at 6/1
Ok £40 on Suarez at 17/4
not a good day
come on Monchengladbach get the finger oot. Thought Atletico would have done better also.
absolute mince, newcastle letting me down now
Bloody typical. Gladbach score and Newcastle conceed……..
Monchengladbach score and newcastle conced. You couldnae make it up
Napoli down to 10. Another shite night…….:(
Get in steaua btts up cheers Mrfixit
Not betting on Europa league again!
And Liverlose complete the misery…….
Don, just another classic Europa League night.
Cavani 93rd minute pen!!!
Mike, OK feeling a little better and so will Chris Guy be.
Cavani scores lol and academi score late goal for my btts. Happy days
Goals are the only sure thing in this completion
That was ..competition lol
Newcastle let me down but nice profit on btts
It’s just so frustrating. First round of games I go for btts, and get nothing. Second round I go for results, and everyone scores, AND I did the BTTS line and didn’t perm it.
Roll on Saturday……
PSV let me down for £500
But did your late btts and added club brugge so not bad night.
And thanks whoever the the shelve tip
No, btts is not up, he whent for 5 games and one game let him down again never mind all this prem rubbish, as u only get your money back for only 4 out of 5 ,that is what i mean too many teams.
I did a 4 timer tonight, metalist gladbach -1 Bordeaux with only Hannover costing me 585 for 30 stake. BUT thanks to mr fixits tips i placed my 2nd bet of the day, once again gladbach -1, Bordeaux & Napoli, teams I wouldn’t have backed had it not been for mr fixits tIps, 50 for 410. If u ever fancy a game at royal Elderslie, shout me !
Cheers
Darren
Darren, well done with the wins. Never played Elderslie but a couple of guys in the work are members there. Is Ricky Bowman still there?
John t I said the 8pm k.o I did they all came in
Oh good on u al
Apart from a 200 winning single on Brugge weeks ago, this is my first winning accy bet in Europa league ! So tough to win on this comp
I dont prem either, as i wrote on this earlier today i didn’t fancy the anzhi game, swapped it for academica game
Roll on the saturday tips, got football tomorrow night so i’ll hopefully get my bet in on saturday morning :-)
Dodgy pen for Man City done me last night for £270 and a dodgy offside call against Spurs done me for £370 tonight… Feckin dodgy refereeing have let me down for £640 all in. I’m writing to UEFA to complain!!!
Ha ha ha bingo
Cheers for the btts tip i missed anzhi kick off so did the rest happy days
Bingo……try these for tommoro dutch league
Maastricht
Veendam
Fc Eindhoven
All teams over 3.5 goals
And small stake over 4.5 goals
Maybe have a wee look at it Al… After I finished my letter to UEFA. What do you thinks my chances of claiming them for the £640 at the small claims court?
Lol bingo
Paul was Raging after I thought I had lost £200 today. Didn’t even know that Cavani had scored lol. Oh well £130 back so only £70 down which ain’t bad
Chris, must have been virtually last kick. Europa League games are so strange but as punters we know the pitfalls. I did a lot of research last night and hopefully managed to put people off backing some teams that might have looked good on paper.
Bingo so what have you written share it
Dear Mr Platini,
That’s all I’ve got so far… What do you think?
Bingo, we can all add a sentence for you. So what about. Dear Mr Platini, I think you were a great player …
…but shame you couldn’t carry your form into being the UEFA president…
Luke, you’ve blown it for him. It should have been: Have you ever scored a goal like Faddy? You’re the daddy.
not too sure I understand? maybe a bit too young lol
Luke, McFadden’s goal against France. Remember now.
Dear Mr Platini,
Firstly I’d like to say that I’m a big fan of yours. You were a wonderful player in your heyday I’ve always admired your bouffant hairdo.
Im writing to you with regard to the poor standard of refereeing in the Europa League. You and I both know that its a Mickey Mouse tournament that no one really cares about. But when shocking decisions cost you £640 (thats €794 in your dough) it ain’t so f***** funny.
Im sure you’ll recall Spain ’82 World Cup Semi when Harald Schumacher collided with Patrick Battiston, leaving your team mate knocked-out cold, and the referee did not give a penalty, when the game was tied at 3-3?
Well these shockers are on a par with that. Firstly my coupon gets pumped by Real Madrid due to the fact Man City got awarded a dodgy penalty. Then I get humped again tonight by another refereeing howler when Spurs score a perfectly legitimate goal?
As stated above I’ve been shafted for £640 due to UEFA appointed referees giving dodgy decisions. Therefore I want UEFA to compensate me for my losses. I’m sure you must have a few quid tucked away from the various bungs you receive as UEFA President?
I look forward to a cheque in the post. If not I’ll be dragging your arse through Glasgow small claims court and my lawyer is Donald Findlay QC.
Yours sincerely
Bingo
Nailed it. :D
Paul, re EGC, yes Ricky still here but not for long, he officially retires January 31st, I’m hoping my mate Derek macintosh gets it, really enthusiastic and a great teaching pro. I see him for lessons.
Cheers
Darren, wish Ricky all the best from me. He was the pro at Dalmuir where I learned my golf growing up. Taught my brother (too well) coz he always beats me.
Will do Paul when I see him next, he’s not around much as he’s off soon and the weather is keeping me away !
