IT should have been a no-bet day but I risked 1pt on a goals treble that never came close.

I'm not making the same mistake on Wednesday and there will be no tips from me – and that gives me more time to look at the World Cup qualifiers on Thursday and Friday.

I've posted an England v Slovakia preview and reckon Gareth Southgate's men will win 1-0 or 2-0 to seal their place in Russia.

Anyone following my Betting Club £10 to £1000 challenge knows I need a 1-9 shot to get over the line and two from the England game interest me – England to score and under 4,5 match goals.

Admin prefer the latter because they don't like bets where you don't want goals and while 4-1 or 5-0 England is unlikely that could change of for example there was an early red card in the match.

I'd be interested to hear what everyone would choice of those two and thanks for other suggestions. One of course was over 1.5 match goals at Fylde and I'm pleased I resisted the temptation.

For anyone interested in having a bet on Wednesday there is one National League game between Tranmere and Orient, lower-league Italian games and European Under-19 qualifiers among others.

    Atlanta spent the majority of the season on the road and picked up some points which has been key for their home games.
    Opened up their new stadium a few weeks ago, played 6 games in quick succession, won 5 and drew 1. It is certainly becoming a fortress and it is helping them on the march towards the playoffs, win tonight against a poor Minnesota side then they go 2nd in the league behind high flying Toronto(my tip).

    2nd place is massive as you advance to the next stage ahead of 3rd place, can’t see past anything apart from a big home win.

    Atlanta odds to win the mls cup has shortened over the last few weeks. I already tipped Toronto 7/1 earlier in the season and they are now 5/2. If you want an each way shot then Atlanta at 8/1 is a good shout.

    I will be adding Atlanta -1 in to an international banker.

    Atlanta-1
    Argentina
    England
    France
    Germany
    Holland

    Motherwell have an opportunity today to temporarily go top of the league and face bottom side Hamilton at home who are on 1pt from their opening 4 games. Hamilton are leaking 3gpg on the road so far while Motherwell are averaging 2 at home. Motherwell have also beaten these lot in the last 5 head to heads.

    Expecting the home win, they are knocking in 5gpg on avg at home while the away team manage 4gpg on the road s/c 2/2. 5 of 6 h2h have had over 2.5 goals as has both teams recent results. A win for MTK would take them from 5th to 2nd so everything to play for today.

    Norway U19 look too big at 10/11 against a Montenegro side that have lost too Cyprus and the Faroe Islands in the past 12 months.

    Norway qualified from this stage last year too reach the Elite group stage. They beat Romania 3-1,San Marino 9-0 before a narrow 1 goal loss too the Dutch. At the elite stage they came unstuck against Spain 2-0,England 3-0 and beat Belarus 2-1. Montenegro lost all 3 at this stage last year against Croatia 2-1,Cyprus 1-0 and Faroes 2-1.

    Norway should be too strong for a poor Montenegro team

    Local derby here and goals are expected. 2 meetings this year have finished 3-1 & 2-2. 4 of the last 6 Gamba games have seen BTTS & O2.5gls (5-1,4-1,1-0,1-0,4-1,2-2) and the last 5 Cerezo games have seen this market land (2-1,2-1,3-2,2-2,2-1)

    BTTS & O2.5gls 6/5

    In the other tie Japanese heavyweights Kawasaki Fontale travel too Vegalta Sendai. Fontale have won the last 3 H2H with all 3 seeing them net 2+ With the most recent 2 also being away from home. Fontale have found the net on 2 or more occasions in 11 of their last 13 games. Fancy them too grab a couple here at Evens

      It’s quite common to say 9-1 on – I don’t have a problem with it.
      Both 9-1 on or 1-9 can be used. It’s just preference.
      You are right to say no one uses 10-1 against but 1-10 on is common.

    • Avatar of alec bennett

      Why say 1.5/1 or 2.50 instead of 6/4 ? Just a preference and the way I’ve always said odds under evens in to add on so most people know what I mean. Let me now which you prefer sless and I’ll accommodated you.

    Mr F, with regard to the 10 to 1k, both look very likely to happen.

    However, when there is so much at stake you could try a 2 pronged safety net approach, putting 50% on England to score and 50% on under 4.5.

    They will probably both come in but if one doesn’t, you live to fight another day.

    Did this several weeks ago with 50% on Real Madrid over 1.5 1st half goals and over 3.5 match goals. It was 1:1 at half time, but then to my surprise, there were no more goals in the game. I ended up maintaining my original total stake and the rolling stake went on (eventually losing about 5 bets later).

    The 2 pronged approach

    • Avatar of Susan Laing
      sasaharv62 7 years ago

      I would stick with the 900..why would you want to gamble 900 for 100 ?? Pointless.
      Take the 890 & start again with the 10….Just my thoughts.

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 7 years ago

      That would be my advice to punters but in this case we’ve said we’re doing a £10 to £1000 challenge and admin would like it completed – probably so they can tweet about it.
      It’s different in a way from an individual doing it – although the bets have been placed no one in particular is losing out because we’re giving the money away.
      I just hope I pick the right one – the Notts County to score mentioned earlier is tempting but I’d like to get it done before Saturday.

    • Avatar of Mr Fixit
      Mr Fixit 7 years ago

      Again for an individual this is good advice but our bets have all been roll-ups and all been singles and that’s how it will finish.

    Tasman v North Harbour

    No doubt North Harbour have had a strong season but I feel this is a step too far for them. NH have had three away wins this season but against fairly weak opposition. Last year’s finalists will pose a much greater test. Although they lost last week, they won the second half with 14 men and 13 for 10 mins. It should be a close game but I feel Tasman have the edge upfront.
