FOOTBALL'S a funny old game right enough. I thought I was sitting through another 0-0 draw with Rangers v Celtic before what I feared would be scoreless encounter at Chelsea.
Celtic netted late and my tip Moussa Dembele scored so I settled down expecting nothing to happen at Stamford Bridge only for Jose Mourinho to park the bus – but it was a mini bus that covered nothing and allowed the Blues to batter them 4-0.
United were dire but I had to laugh at the early goal conceded after putting just under 1pt on no scorer. As I said earlier I'd happily give away £9 to see a game full of goals rather than what Liverpool-Man United put on the other day.
That “speculative” bet was my only loser. My second Super Single was a winner thanks to Nice and the 4-1 both to score treble landed thanks to games at Feyenoord, Red Bull Leipzig and Real Madrid.
A last-gasp winner by Villarreal prevented the 12-5 fourfold from bombing at the first hurdle and they were followed in by Roma and Real Madrid to score 2+ and Benfica to win.
It's been a decent couple of days and I should end the month in profit as I did in September.
Monday's pretty quiet ahead of a hectic midweek although we do have Bury v Bolton in English League One and check out HullShaker's thoughts on the game – although maybe you should give it a miss if you're a Bolton fan.
I didn't realise how big a derby it was, possibly because it has been played for 17 years. On current form you'd take Bolton who have won their last three away while Bury have been shaken by a run of five defeats. However, we know form goes out of the window in these type of games and HullShaker likes the look of goals and cards.
Braga play Chaves in Portugal and Cork face Wexford in Ireland but elsewhere it's mostly about lower-league games. Dundalk's victory on Sunday night clinched the title so second-placed Cork have nothing to play for while Wexford have a chance of climbing out of the relegation play-off if they win their final two games.
I'm not sure how those scenarios will affect the result but it's worth bearing in mind – as is the fact Dundalk are certain to rest players at St Patrick's on Tuesday after nine games in 25 days.
Stephen Kenny's squad have been tested to the limit by their Europa League campaign and they've done well to retain their crown while doing their league proud in Europe.
Again team news is key but St Pat's beat Cork 3-1 in their last home outing and I said I was happy to risk 1pt on a Super Single at 21-4 with Stan James. I wasn't backingit until seeing some team news but either the 21-4 was wrong on oddschecker or it had been put up before the Dundalk game.
Best price I can see now is 7-4 with Stan James so I'm assuming 21-4 wasn't available for long or at all. The 7-4 could still be value but without seeing line-ups I wouldn't back it so I'll delete the Super Single.
I'll have a look at stats and team news before deciding to post any tips for Monday.

Night Owl 2:
GUARANI SP vs ABC
ABC lead 4-0 after the first leg and although the bookies have Guarani short-priced favourites, I fancy the visitors to get at least 1 whilst Guarani press forward to claw back the tie.
BTTS looks A-OK between SP and ABC…5/6 ?
Red card for ABC in the 33rd minute scuppered the chances of this one…Guarani now 5 up and with 20 to go it looks bleak for the away goal ?
Belting stuff Mr F – a great day and some nice priced winners!
Posted this one on yesterday’s thread but will be more use on this one:
Growing up as a Bury fan there was plenty of North West derbies and around the late 80s -early 90s all of the sides were regular fixtures in what was the old Division 3 or Division 4: Wigan, Oldham, Stockport, Preston, Blackpool, Burnley, Rochdale were all keen rivalries.
It seems Rochdale have taken up the mantle as ‘fiercest rivals’ in the last decade or so and although I remember it as a ‘rum ‘un’ there was always one game above all others that was fired by pure hatred…Bolton.
I will steer clear of using the affectionate ‘W*nky Wanderers’ as popularised in many Bury chants as it could be offensive to anyone unfortunate enough to come from Bolton.
I used to know a lad whose claim to fame amongst the Gigg terraces was that after a Friday night spent in Bolton’s finest (?) nighspots, he clambered over the fence at Burnden Park (near the Normid shop bit) and had a shit in the centre circle ready for kick off the next day.
BURY vs BOLTON (19.45 KO):
After a league absence of 17 years, The Bury/Bolton derby is back on and I love this stat;
‘Bolton Wanderers last win at Gigg Lane was in 1929.’
Whatever happens tomorrow it’ll be a crackling atmosphere – there’s an expected 3200 Bolton fans descending upon Gigg and I sincerely hope they set off in good time as it’s a bugger of a 5 mile journey if you have webbed feet.
Both sides have players out either through injury or suspension: Bury will be missing Pope, Jones and Brown whilst ex-Shaker Phil Parkinson will be without a number of players including top midfielder Tom Thorpe.
I’m not able to make it back to Bury for the game but will be cheering on my boys from a local hostelry and as much as I’m a loyal fan, I won’t let my heart rule my head when it comes to betting.
We seem to have lost our mojo since the loss to Scunny and although we are more than capable of a goal, we cannot keep our legs shut at the back…I fear Wanderers will exploit this.
Whatever the outcome, it’ll be a tasty game on the field whilst off the field, the atmosphere will no doubt add to the event giving the card markets plenty of appeal.
Three selections to consider:
BTTS…3/4
OVER 2.5 MGS + OVER 4.5 CARDS…2.66/1
RED CARD…5/2
Best of luck and enjoy the game (live on Sky so no excuse!)
??
Cheers, love how to refuse to use the “W**** Wanderers” phrase but still manage to use it anyway.
Going to have a loose change bet on skybets request a bet.
Btts and 30+ booking points each.
6/1 ?
Night Owl 3:
Both matches kick off at 1.00 and feature teams whose games regularly hit the 3+ goals mark.

Profit yesterday after I choose btts NO in the Chelsea game, looking forward for tonight, greetings from Germany
Jolloph, congrats on your winners but I doubt you had any help from me…yesterday was an unmitigated disaster.
We have some right referees in Scotland, red cards getting rescinded and then on Saturday Dunfermline get a penalty but the referee doesn’t know which player conceded the penalty or even which player was supposedly fouled, I say supposedly because it was never a penalty
A word of warning.
On the Bet 365 thread this week someone asked whether the in-play bet would count so long as it was placed from the Bet 365 in-play screen. I placed my bet at 19:47 (i.e. 2 minutes after the scheduled kick off) from that screen but apparently the match hadn’t yet started; the Celtic game in the same group had. My bet therefore did not qualify so far as the offer was concerned.
Difficult to be sure a match has kicked off without being there or listening/watching it live but clearly you can’t bet solely on the basis that the match is categorised as in-play. The advice from Bet 365 is to check their minutes of play on the in-play screen before placing the bet.
As it happens they gave me my refund as a goodwill gesture on this occasion but I thought it worth sharing so others don’t get caught out.
Pg I absolutely get what you mean – the 365 ‘game screen’ is not synced perfectly to the game and I bet loads of folk are desperate to get the in-play bet on so assume its started in their haste.
Best advice is have it on live (telly/radio) and use that as the ‘start’ not the 365 game play screen.
Its a good point well raised sir
how can you possibly get caught out doing an inplay bet??there is a screen which shows you dangerous attacks etc if you look at this you should be able to fathom out wether a game has kicked of or not.
Macca, for you or I maybe but don’t forget the whole point of 365s offer isn’t to reward punters (as some seem to think) it is solely a tool for attracting more business and new customers.
Many of those new customers are new to betting so don’t take for granted they’ll automatically see things as you do.
Many (most i’d think) of those new customers will be using 365 from a mobile so it appears differently to a.PC…once folk are looking at the ‘bet’ screen they cant see the game screen and are more focused on getting their in-play on so easy to see how folk would do it.
Anyway…?
That’s spot on. Bet365 do the offer expecting to lose on the night but gain long term.
Let’s get week started with a winner 2 bottom club in running at mo HT PERSELA are 1 dwn but hav plenty of chances on leeg form there the slightly betr side are usually score 11/10 fr them to score 2nd halfs to good to b misd.gl
Poor attempt 1-0 it finished
Mr F, I can’t find the cork city bet anywhere on StanJames. it seems as if only 365 have markets for the game.
Mr Fix It
I’m surprised you went for 0-0 in the Chelsea game after so many players wanted to prove something to Jose on his return. It was never going to be the same game as Liverpool at all. Wrong choice in my opinion.
Hope all is well. Nice forum and keep up the good work.
You would understand why I tipped 0-0 if you’ve been following the forum. There was a theme.
It wasn’t a serious bet as the stake suggested and a full house of winners apart from that one is what you should focus on rather than one loser.
Must be great to have a degree in hindsight ?
Maybe we could have a Hindsight Tips thread where folk could point out what we all should have picked after the results are in?
Always said it – hindsight would be great. Our old friend on the challenges always did well in hindsight.

Bury v Bolton, small stakes on Over 50 points, 11/8….PP
Two to keep an eye on tonight in Peru…
MELGAR VS. UNIÓN COMERCIO (19.15 KO):
Cristal’s game went berserk last night with 9 goals (I think Crane caught it in-play…wish I had) and it certainly is a league that sees some goals scored and is particularly solud for both teams scoring and related markets.
Melgar are short favourites and I was surprised to see Commercio at 6/1 given they aren’t a terrible side and actually beat top side Cristal last time out!
Melgar have hit 3-2-1-1-2-2 team goals in their last 6 and ought to grab a couple again tonight though I suspect the away side will be able to grab at least 1 themselves.
Two selections:
MELGAR OVER 1.5 TGS…4/7
BTTS & OVER 2.5 MGS…8/5
———————————————
DEFENSOR LA BOCANA VS. REAL GARCILASO (21.30 KO):
Bottom side La Bocana have only 2 wins in 10 but they are pretty dam reliable in games I’ve backed them to score…to that end, BTTS has come up jn 90% of their lsst 10 games.
Garcilaso can’t quite match that with 10 of their last 15 seeing BTTS and with the bookies not being able to reslly split them (neither can I!) both teams scoring looks the shout.
Two selections:
BTTS…4/7
BTTS & OVER 2.5 MGS…EVENS
———————————————-
I’ll be doubling both games up:
BTTS DOUBLE…2.14/1
BTTS & OVERS DOUBLE…4.2/1
Best of luck with all bets ?
Mr fix it
What I’m saying is that you shouldn’t have even suggested it to be honest small stake or large. It was never going to happen.
Are you any good at predicting results before the games mate or just the day after? Please do come on tomorrow and tell us what we should have bet on tonight.
wow harpeet you’d be a great tipster if you could tip all the games after they’ve finished
Well done buddy ??
harpreet!! …or prat here as I liked to think of him ;)
I think mr f was right to have a play on the 0-0 did you not watch the liverpool game??With the mancs playing a lot of games you would have thought it would have been a very tight game indeed,i lost as i took the unders large stake,no one would have ever predicted 4-0 not unless your name is bastino.
Plenty of people thought if not 0-0 a draw certainly. But you can’t legislate for an international defender making two such basic mistakes early in the game. Interesting on a weekend of plenty winners he comes back from nowhere to criticise my only loser yesterday.
Obvious guy says nobody is asking or telling you to back or bet on anything on here… What exactly is the purpose of your comment?
Again you need to have followed the posts for a few days before the tip was placed and maybe you’ll understand.
I can suggest anything I want – no one needs to back it.
mr f where can i find this irish market on stanjames? it doesn;t seem to be anywhere
All prices I quote on the top tips are taken off oddschecker. Last night that’s what they quoted but now say 7-4.
I was waiting for some team news but will update the post.
Okay, thanks for the update.
@mr-fixit – my comment wasn’t aimed at you (!) – I didn’t understand the nonsensical moaning from bastino re your 0-0 bet for chelski game in face of dire game last Mon…
Yeah I know. No problem.
Everything points to goals in the Sparta Prague u21 game – in play now. Looking to take over 1.5 FHG and over 3.5 goals when the odds hit 1.80 or better
Am on mash’al Mubarak to win against obod. Won all h2h and in better form. 5/2 seems a price too good to miss

11 days since the A league 4-1 … H2Hs suggest more of the same. A semi final derby with a potential record crowd I don’t think players will be rested and with players like Fornaroli, Cahill, Rojas and Austin again this game suggests goals (hence the odds!)

Hey @hullshaker – am in the pub with MD – he’s dying to know who you are so any clues.
Admin is it possible for you to pass on my e-mail to Richard?
Rich, I’ll speak via email – small world if it is who I think it might be! Ask him if he spent a week up in Bishopbriggs with a load of madheads about 20 years ago…if he did, I was one of them ?
Admin probably won’t read this so you’ll need to email them.
Alternatively email me at mrfixit@dailyrecord.co.uk and I’ll try to remember do it tomorrow night.
Thanks Mr F – will do.
@hullshaker – my phone died tonight but I can pretty much guarantee the answer is yes as I’m from Bishopbriggs as is my friend who he married!!
Nae luck tonight but I took Bolton 2-0 at 10/1 so at least someone made some money out of it :)
Wendy if my memory serves me right!? Met in Magaluf hence our trip up to Bishopbriggs later that summer.
Unbelievable.

Lots of injuries but still, appalling standard of football…never even looked like scoring tonight.

Hi Mr Fixit. St Pats were 4-1 on 365 this morning at about 9.30.
Cheers – been loads of money then which is fair enough after what happened with Dundalk.
Oddschecker said 21-4 at Stan James but after someone queried I looked this afternoon and it was 7-4.
I’ve taken the SS down anyway but I hope some got the early price and Dundalk as expected play the reserves.
did they win? I saw they were 1 nil down at HT

In no way was it a ridiculous or very strange bet! So easy to say after the result
yeah i’m not having that either – 0-0 was a legitimate shout given how Man Utd had shut Liverpool down – easy to be wise after the game
Yeah. I’ve been patient with him but time he went back to whatever it is he is doing.
Still hasn’t said well done for my 3 winners on Sunday. Bye bye Harpreet.
Defensor la bocana have scored in every home league game for as far back as you can go on soccerway, so of course tonights the night not to score! Grrrrr
Correct Crane ?
craig/ricardo, its mushroom season awe the dafties will be oot howlin at the moon this week…… :D
ps al start it aff….. dae use hink dembele meant that back heel yesterday ? personally hink he jist tripped ower the baw an scored a fluke……. :D ;)
Haha surprised it took so long but the laddie dembele will be away for £20M+ in 2 yr max, i was more gutted about sviatchenko gl disallowed tbh though, ref had a shocker. Hopefully get a better game aff the Dons in the final ?
lol ya goose ye ;)
First person I thought of when Sviatchenko’s goal was wrongly disallowed was Chris Guy who had backed him to score first.
Anyway more importantly what’s the best pub near Lithgae train station and one that’s showing Aberdeen v Celtic before the big game?
Star and Garter, just at bottom of the hill. Went on fire a few yr ago but been done up, obviously dunno prices haha. The old post office is just along from it heading towards the cross that’ll probably be better though and cheaper, weatherspoons style pub
Don’t like the Wetherspoons pubs – apart from the prices.
Prefer some character so maybe try the Old Post Office or just nip into a few as we work our way to the ground.
Goodnight all.
