A GOOD day is often followed by a bad one and that's how it turned out for me.
Saturday was super, Sunday was sloppy … in the sense goalkeeping mistakes by Joe Hart and Thibaut Courtois contributed to my downfall.
Hart's howler helped down my Torino Super Single and Chelsea's draw defeated the Top Treble. The both to score treble was a loser thanks to Milan so after four wins on Saturday I drew a blank.
But when you're playing for level stakes you won't give it all back – and I was never in danger of doing that.
My challenge bet is still alive and I'm halfway to my £250 target thanks to that crazy game between Mainz and Hoffenheim. And Bet of the Day came up evens thanks to Pescara's goal against Inter.
Well done to Greg who again landed his nap thanks to a late flurry of goals at Aston Villa.
Monday's much quietier as we gear up to the opening round of the Champions League groups. In the Premier League Sunderland and Davie Moyes entertain Everton and Empoli welcome Crotone in Serie A.
Dundalk face Finn Harps at home in the League of Ireland and elsewhere it's mainly about second-tier games.
I was going to put up anything but have decided to go with a treble as my only Bet of the Day.

Dundalk BTTS No 1.53 Betfair GL all
That was fast @hullshaker 2-0 20 mins lol one more!
? – not a bad start for yesterday’s ‘re-scheduled’ Night Owl Boss…it’s been a good day and looks like an even better night with tonight’s home and hosed…
Well done again. Calling it night even though the tennis is a thriller – 2-1 Wawrinka and he’s looking good.
and what is dan evans thinking, as he had match point v wawrinka in an earlier round.
funny old game….
Night Owl:
GENERAL DÍAZ VS. OLIMPIA (Paraguay – 22.00 KO):
Confidence high with this one as joint bottom Diaz play host to an Olimpia side that have started with a bit of fire in their bellies.
They’ve been sitting top for a while and will be looking to regain a share of that lead with 3 points that will see them level Guarani’s 22 points.
These two have faced off 7 times within the last 20 months and in only one of those games did both teams fail to score.
Even more notably, 5 of those 7 games have seen both sides scoring alongside 3 or more match goals with score lines of: 4-1, 4-1, 3-1, 2-1 and 3-1.
BTTS…10/11
**WON**
BTTS & OVER 2.5 MGS…11/8
**WON**
Selections up for the Paraguayan game later but sometimes you’ve got to ride your luck when it’s in!
Stjarnan take on Valur at 21.00 and, without going into stats and form, I think BTTS has a great chance.
Combine it up with my Olimpia BTTS pick and you have a pretty healthy BTTS double at 1.87/1
**WON**
oi, shaker
glad you made some dough off the back of my team being crap today.
our league is like Scotland in that teams like to get the celtic game out of the way, then the rest are much of a muchness and points are there to be won.
we don’t play tns for a while now so hopefully we can stay in the top 4 until the mid season break.
they used to have an advantage as they were the only team with a carpet for a pitch, but bala and Aberystwyth are in the process of getting rugs installed bringing the number of rugs up to 6 or 7, but it helps tns in a way as they have played on a rug for years and the away games that they struggled on with grass, mud etc are now rugs.
Rugtastic mate ?
maybe I should point our directors in the direction of carpet right, might be pricey if underlay is needed also though !!!!
Evening gents
It’s all eyes at the stadium of light for me
Sunderland v Everton KO 8pm
It’s going to be another long hard season for the black cats and New boss David Moyes certainly has task on his hands! They welcome an in-form Everton side and I fear for the hosts! Ronald Koman is a fantastic manager and has made a great start to his time at Goodison! They have quality right through there ranks, more quality than Sunderland have and if they turn up they should win this! Everton for me should be 10/11 at best, 6/5 should be snapped up!
Lukaku has hasn’t scored for Everton in 13 matches which is poor for a player of his caliber! I reckon he’s got the ideal opportunity to get back amoungst the goals tonight!
Back Everton to Win 6/5 (BetVictor) (NAP)
Lukaku to score 31/20 (BetVictor)
The Belguim reserve league is in action at 6.30pm – will have look
And will be on the usual 6pm games for early goals
Hey Guys, I posted two tips yesterday and for the most part it looked like I would land a full house as Chelsea dominated the first half, However credit Swansea they showed some guts and I was pleased for them. I highlighted Costa’s record against the Swans and was glad to see some of you got on. These are the results of my Only tips on the football.
Chelsea W/O1.5mg evens Lost
Costa to Score 11/10 WON
Onto tonight’s MNF game it looks a tough one to call with any confidence. Sunderland games have seen BTTS in all their league games this season and in Lukaku, Bolasie and Barkley Everton carry a goal threat. It is 4/5 to see Btts and this is my main tip, as this fixture as seen 11 goals in 2 games last season. I am splitting 5pts on 2 scorers Defoe and Lukaku.
Defoe has never scored at home against Everton but as scored 5 goals against the toffees. Lukaku wanted out in the summer but now he as to stay and show why he is a 15-20 goals a season player. Like Costa who I tipped earlier scored a brace in midweek for his country comes back full of confidence.
BTTS 4/5 NAP (2OPTS)
2.5pts Anytime Scorers
Lukaku to score 31/20 Betvictor
Defoe to score 12/5 Paddy Power
If your looking for some late night action, head over to the sports thread. I am delivering what I promised excitement and winners on the NFL. I posted 7 tips across the card tonight with SIX winning, taking my total to 8 tips and 7 winners since the season began on Thursday. :-) :-)
GL
DEPORTIVO CALI VS. BOYACÁ CHICÓ (23.00 KO):
Not only do the away side sound like a homo-erotic drag act, they play football like one as well.
Sitting bottom after 10 games, Chico have amassed 4 points whilst attaining an underwhelming g/d of -11.
Of their last 22 games, they have won only 3 with one of those being in the Copa Colombia although they did run out 1-0 victors in the most recent H2H earlier in the year.
Aside from that, it’s Cali all the way and in the other 4 H2H’s – all within a 16 month period – they have won: 2-0, 2-1, 3-0, 2-0.
3 selections to consider with a healthy stake on the first!
DEPORTIVO CALI OVER 1.5 TGS…8/15
**WON**
DEPORTIVO CALI OVER 2.5 TGS…13/8…LOST
CORRECT SCORE 2-0…4/1
**WON**
CORRECT SCORE 3-0…6/1…LOST
Cheers @hullshaker
Cashed out on the over 2.5 tesm goals for profit at half time and let the 2-0 and 3-0 run ?
Haha, me and @gregbrowning on the same tip, take it to the bank ££££ :-) Is it a potential super single Mr F?
Not convinced enough to back the Everton win. For me they’ll win or draw and the Moyes factor could have an effect.
Your right mrf,i don’t like going against greg as we all know what a great tipster he is,i would rather back his tips than more often than not but i just don’t trust everton and like you say moyes wont want to lose this game.
I only back his goals bets – he’s constantly telling me that’s the way to go.
All 4 Armenian First league matches at 14:00
Over 2.5 match goals for just over 4/1
Taking everton at sunderland you must be mad,everton will always be everton and nearly always struggle at the stadium of light with only two wins there in the last 22 games and with moyes on the opposite side a draw would not surprise me,best bet on this game is under 2.5 goals @ 4/5,got to be brave to touch the wdw market.
Surprise surprise Macca going against an Everton tip haha…Still wearing those red-tinted specs i see.Everton have only lost at the Stadium of Light 5 times in 16yrs.They have played 15 games in that time.Yes,a draw is likely but i have to agree with Greg on the form of Sunderland & the big hitters that Everton have,i can only see a win for Everton….My “thoughts” are Everton Win & BTTS…….oh Macca,a wee tip for you,buy yourself another pair of glasses mate,the ones you have are impairing your vision.
I don’t support everton you bafoon,i support liverpool everton are the bitters not the other way round lol,not sayin everton to win is a bad tip but i wouldn’t trust them (not with my hard earned anyway!)their a big price and are that for a reason!!!!
Think you will find you are the baffoon Macca,if you read my post WITHOUT the glasses,you will see that i state you are going against Everton,so does that make you a toffee’s supporter?? NO,,it makes you look like a Liverpool supporter rating Everton as no good.And as your name states MaccatheRED,im no idiot to think that you are MaccatheBLUE……………….EEJIT !!!!!!!!
Nite owls LOST puebla failed to score for the btts&overs, LAG game ended 4-2 but was on o2.5 2ndhgls was 4 in the 1st and only 2 in the 2nd……..
Fortune favours the brave MacCathered! I don’t want to be sitting here at 9.45pm saying “‘can’t believe I didn’t back Everton, 6/5 against a struggling Sunderland side”
The head to head isn’t great from an Everton perspective but they have a good manager at the helm and are in fine shape!
Was going to be Everton team goals but happy to take them to win!
I was thinking a BTTS and Everton win @ 4.33 with Ladbrokes
Good luck to you sir greg hope it wins for you but i would keep stakes sensible.
Cheers mate – you are preaching to the converted though, haha!
Good luck with Everton – I’m off to the golf with Ace.
Will need to allow him loads of gimmes after last night’s winners.
Be back late afternoon and may put up some tips – but a few picked out for Tuesday.
I’m on it. I also like the Everton win and over 1.5goals bet at 28/10. i think Everton will breach Sunderland’s shambolic defence at least twice and at 2/1 it’s definitely worth a smaller stake on that as well.
Maccathered u pikd up nazalus wrong lol he nvr sed u supported everton in fact he sed ur to busy lookn through red tinted specs.the point he was making is if everton wer playing drumshangie roadsweepers ud stil come up wi a reason why everton wldnt win lol.
I know what he meant,liverpool fans don’t think that way as we are not bitter,just an observation from a neautral,why would we be bothered about everton we are still the most decorated club in the land.
I think the Sunderland game has a few goals in it. Which is why I will be going with BTTS.
Everton should score no problems and Sunderland will be trying hard so they have a goal in them too.
I’m a Sunderland season ticket holder and will be there tonight trust me Everton will win
I’m at the match tonight as a Sunderland season ticket holder and Everton will win. I’ve had a good run with my bet of the day at evens and above and today’s bet of the day is a simple one
Everton to win 23/20 with unibet
WON another bet of the day winner at evens and above for me need to look tomorrow and see how much profit I’m in over the last week its in 3 figures there will be another bet of the day tomorrow
Sunderland – Everton – draw or Everton & under 3.5 goals @ 1.70
===============================
Ajax II – Achilles
– 1st Half or 2nd Half – BTTS @ 1.76 (NAP)
– BTTS & over 2.5 goals @ 1.75
– BTTS at least 2 goals @ 4.57
– BTTS in both halves @ 9.00
===============================

acsafc, always good to hear from a fan of the club
No problem Greg. If Everton score early it could be embarrassing our heads will drop as usual.
Hi acsafc.As a safc fan myself just wondering if you are pleased to have won money on lads losing or would you sooner loose your bet?Never bet against the team I love personally.What do other footy fans feel about backing the opposition?Could get some interesting comments.
P.S. backed your Polish tip so ta for that.

Good luck today all

Hopefully great minds & all that
Of the 9 English Premier games over the weekend 6 of them had a player booked before 30 min.
A player to be booked before 34 min in tonights Sunderland v Everton match is 5/6 bet365 i think
these are good odds.

Sint Truidense v Gent KO 6.30pm
The hosts have already seen 18 goals scored in just three games this season and with Gent also seeing plenty of goals this looks like another 2-2 3-2 scoring match
Back over 1.5 First half goals 1/1

Sorry, meant your FK Jerv 2 v Start 2 o3.5mgs
19:45 Empoli v Crotone
This looks very good indeed for cards. For starters, Paolo Valeri gets the whistle. This guy is a headcase of a referee. In his only other Serie A game this season he dished out 9 yellows and 2 reds in the Napoli vs Milan game a couple of weeks ago. But take a look at his stats for the past few seasons!
2015-16 – 109 yellows and 8 reds in 17 games (avg 6.4 yellows and 0.47 reds a game). Remarkably, he gave out at least 5 cards in 16/17 games (3 in the other)
2014-15 – 107 yellows and 12 reds in 19 games (avg 5.6 yellows and 0.63 reds a game). He dished out at least 5 cards in 17/19 games (and gave 3 yellows and a red in one of the two to go under!)
2013-14 – He was strangely subdued this season, only issuing 78 yellows and 5 reds in 17 games. Just 9/17 games saw 5 or more cards.
2012-13 – 109 yellows and 12 reds in 16 games (avg 6.8 yellows and 0.75 reds a game). He gave out at least 5 cards in the first 16 of these 17 games, letting us down on the final day of the season in only giving out 4. NB these stats include one Europa League game he took charge of too.
Further info –
All four games he has previously refereed involving Empoli have seen a red card dished out.
The previous six meetings between Empoli and Crotone have seen card counts of 7,6,8,9,6,7.
Both sides are pointless after two games – Empoli in particular will be desperate to get the three points at home to a newly-promoted side. Crotone are expected to struggle in this league and will have to scrap hard every game.
Recommended bets
Over 6.5 cards – 28/29 888sport (NAP)
Red card to be shown – 44/19 Marathon (NB)

Gut feeling this but lives conceded a few recently, though pk35 are doomed and not scored in last 4 games, they drew 1-1 here last month.
Odds of 11-8 tempted me and Pk 35 +2 handicap also at evens.
Hope my gut is right.
On Sunderland it could be anything really and not a game to go overboard on
Maybe Moyes can inspire v his old team.
Correct score spread 1-1 1-2 2-2
So I guess btts is safest option on a game that can go either way

I rate Lukaku as a top class striker on his day.
So i cannot ignore the fact,that Sunderland are somewhat in dissaray.
I do not rate Moyes as a good managerial tactition since he left his opposing team that he faces tonight.
In his Everton days,he got the best out of his men,they played for him & the jersey.
Sunderland players try their best for the team & in heart,for the manager,but they are not clicking together.
So for that reason,i cannot see past the following :::::
Everton Over 1.5 Team Goals @ 6/5
Lukaku to score 2 or more @ 13/2
Lukaku Hat-trick @ 40/1
All prices from WH.
Good luck if you follow.
Cracking stuff nazalus
wish I had backed lukaku for more than just ags
Wow @nazalus great call on Lukaku!!
Hope you had a fair few quid on the hat-trick!
Well that went well lol brilliant well done! ?
Well done Nazalus with that Lukaku hat-trick outstanding!!

Cheers for the comments guys,i thought Lukaku would come good soon soon,especially with the way Sunderland are at the moment.Only a fiver Alex_mufc83,cant be silly with money on something like that,got a few quid more with other bets though.

Nice profit though and that’s the name of the game.

Underrated Bulgarian side Ludgorets travel to Basel in the Champions League tomorrow.
They boast 7 Brazilians and an Argentine in their ranks and scored after 17 minutes and 24 minute in the away legs of their two Champions League qualifying matches against Plzen and Red Star Belgrade.
I think their goal time of 76.00 against Basel is excellent value.
