SCOTLAND, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland all went to the wire in the search of a Euro 2020 place on a nervy night.
All three play-offs went to penalties with the Scots making it through at the expense of Israel and Northern Ireland shocking Bosnia-Herzegovina – but it was heartache for the Republic who los their shoot-out.
I watched the Scotland game and on that evidence I have to say we have no chance of winning the final against a good Serbia side that won in Norway.
Northern Ireland will fancy their chances against Slovakia who aren't as strong as Bosnia but it's bound to be tight again.
It might be the international break but after a few busy nights we have a quiet one on Friday.
There is a League One game between Fleetwood and Hull and a Betfred Cup clash featuring Dunfermline vs Falkirk and some international friendlies.
They mostly involve African nations although Japan face Cameroon and there are some Euro Under-21 qualifiers including Scotland vs Czech Republic and Belgium vs Wales.
So ahead of a busy weekend my only bet is a double on Dunfermline to win and Hull not to lose.
Championship outfit Dunfermline opened Group B with a 1-0 win at Dumbarton and will be thankful to get 90 competitive minutes under their belts after being sidelined for nearly seven months.
League One Falkirk didn't play in midweek after being awarded a 3-0 win against a Kilmarnock side who decided to forfeit the tie rather than play their kids. That could go against them and Dunfermline are the shout at
I've been impressed with the way Hull have reacted to a horrible relegation from the Championship. They slid faster than a penguin on roller skates after selling Jarrod Bowen last season and went down after losing 14 of their last 16 games including an embarrassing 8-0 humbling by Wigan.
Hull stood by under-fire manager Grant McCann and have been rewarded with a 100 per cent start to the season with four wins and four clean sheets. Fleetwood on the other hand lie 21st with just one win and while Hull can win this at just under evens I'm taking them not to lose on my double.
Well done to all the winners on Thursday including maccathered who napped Scotland's draw and the match to go to penalties at 5-1. My double was beaten by Bosnia not finding a winner against Northern Ireland and Erling Haaland failing to hit the target for Norway.
Daily Double
- Dunfermline
- Hull not to lose
- (7-5, Betfred)

In tonight’s NFL game I tipped Chicago last week to beat Tampa Bay, last week they were -5.5 point underdogs with Vegas and now it’s -3.5
Last week I advised Chicago at 13/10 to win and now they are 31/20
even though Chicago were beat by Indianapolis last week I like the Bears more now, Foles has now got a full game under his belt which will help him here and although they were beat by Indianapolis you can see that Chicago are in a far better place with Foles than they were with Trubisky,
Chicago definitely has the best defence in this matchup and if the Tampa defence play like they did against the Chargers then Foles will go 300+ passing yards with Allen Robinson likely to benefit the most, last week Robinson was targeted 10 times by Foles and caught 7 passes for 101 yards.
I think Tom Brady still needs time to gel with his receivers and an away game on a short week won’t help but I do like a bet on Tampa’s Ke’Shawn Vaughn whose receiving yards number looks low, last week he got 22 receiving yards from 2 catches
Chicago Bears to win
31/20 bet365
Allen Robinson (Chicago) to score anytime
13/8 betfred
Allen Robinson (Chicago) 2 or more touchdowns
9/1 paddy power
Allen Robinson (Chicago) over 70.5 receiving yards
4/5 888sport
Ke’Shawn Vaughn (Tampa Bay) over 14.5 receiving yards
5:6 skybet
Hi John,
Agree that Chicago pass rush is one of the best but offensively they cant run the ball, and I know saint nick might well come on for that tough game against one of the best defenses in the colts but I just cant see it myself. Going to back against you this time. Sorry.
All over bucs -3.5 and also on bucs -6.5 under 46.5 @3/1.
I think Brady will want revenge
Primetime games this year have had more unders. Gl though.
Would probably have Louisville as my strongest college bet followed by Georgia because their defence is outstanding and their offence has to click soon
Thanks
Congrats john, super picks!!!
Thanks Inches, thought Chicago had blown it when they left time on the clock
Robinson yards saved me mate so thanks for that Chicago deserved it. Unreal picks mate. Tulane overs too. Class. Any early picks for sunday or do you wait for team news and line shifts. Perfect example last night
Probably post my NFL and some other College bets later tonight or tomorrow, waiting on info about Lamar Jackson who has missed a couple of practices Wednesday and Thursday, don’t know about today yet but I was liking the Baltimore game overs until I heard about Lamar so will wait,
I’m already on Louisville tonight at -4, it’s now -5 but I fancy them to win by more
For tonight’s College game I like the overs with the weather not too bad yet

Tulane Green Wave at Houston Cougars (00:30)
OVER 59 points
10/11 888sport
Hi John,
What you think about Tulane to win? Houston havnt played yet this year?
I took Tulane +4.5 under 60.5 @ 9/4 small bet. Going to take Robinson yards tonight.
I was leaning towards Houston to cover the handicap but couldn’t be confident on a winner
Thanks. Small stakes and only doing it incase of rust from Houston. Gl tonight will follow your college bets on sat especially after last week.
Looks like overs going to hit mate. Fs should’ve just took Tulane to win
I’m leaning towards eagles and bengals double in the spread
10/10/20
Virginia Tech Hokies at North Carolina Tar Heels (UNC) (17:00)
This one is live on BT Sport 3 on Saturday and it should see a bet on the overs come in, currently the total is set at 59.5 and I’m on that,
After being out due to COVID-19 protocols Hendon Hooker has to come back in as starting quarterback for Virginia and he will bring more weapons to this offence, they also have Khalil Herbert with 155.5 rushing yards per game and is averaging 12 yards per carry, North Carolina (UNC) are one of the best in the country at stopping the run which is why Hendon Hooker has to come back in,
Sam Howell quarterback for UNC hasn’t really got his passing game into full swing yet but I see that changing here as he goes into a shootout with Hooker,
I can easily see North Carolina getting 30+ points and Virginia getting close to 30 if not more which makes the over 59.5 a good bet, I wouldn’t be surprised if it even went over 70 points but we don’t need to be greedy
OVER 59.5 points
20/21 bet365
******************
10/10/20
Louisville Cardinals at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (00:00)
These are two quarterbacks who are struggling but Malik Cunningham looks to be the better of the two and the one I expect to do better here, in three games Cunningham has completed 53 of 91 passes for 757 yards, 7 touchdowns and 5 interceptions,
Jeff Simms of Georgia has completed 54 of 98 passes for 695 yards, 3 touchdowns and 8 interceptions with 4 of those interceptions coming in his previous game,
Louisville’s main threat is running back Javian Hawkins, who has rushed for 313 yards this season and is up against a defence here that is giving up on average 171 yards per game,
Louisville also have wide receivers Tutu Atwell with 19 receptions for 229 yards, 3 touchdowns and Dez Fitzpatrick with 12 receptions for 198 yards and 1 touchdown.
The line of -4 looks low here as I had Louisville as a -12 point favourite, both these teams are 1-2 but Louisville have had the harder games, in betting its not just about how good teams are, you also have to look at the negatives of teams and players and decided whether it’s still a good bet and this one is because I can’t see how Georgia are going to stop this Louisville offence from scoring even taking into account the mistakes Malik Cunningham can make,
LOUISVILLE CARDINALS -4 points

Miami Florida Hurricanes at Clemson Tigers
What a game this is going to be, we have two top class quarterbacks on show as D’Eriq King of Miami takes on the best quarterback in College Football Trevor Lawrence of Clemson, infact I will make a bold statement and say he will be the best quarterback we have ever seen in College Football,
there is a lot of hype around Trevor Lawrence and it’s justified, he is one of the best passers of the ball that I have seen in a long time and that includes NFL quarterbacks, he rarely misses the target,
As a freshman for Clemson Lawrence completed 65.2 percent of his passes for 3,280 yards, 30 touchdowns and four interceptions as he led Clemson to the National Championship Game where they beat Alabama,
In his second season Lawrence completed 65.8 percent of his passes for 3,665 yards, 36 touchdowns and eight interceptions,
He also became a big-time threat with his legs last season, rushing for 563 yards and nine touchdowns.
Trevor Lawrence is expected to be the number 1 pick at next years draft but he could quite easily play in the NFL now, that’s how much of a real deal he is.
As for Miami they brought in D’Eriq King from the Houston Cougars and he has been a sensation for both Colleges, I would have King as a better rusher than Lawrence but Lawrence definitely has the better arm,
NO BET but will be great to watch these two teams
Appreciate you posting these Johnb best of luck this weekend. Smashed it last night.

Radu how do you do the 8 bets is it a goliath or trebles i just done a goliath on all draws on the friendlys 24.70 returns 11790
Which friendlies
Depending on the odds, the higher they are, the smaller the system will be. I set my system enough to cover my bet if I catch the minimum number of matches, yesterday I played to catch at least 4 draws from 8 matches. I bet 7 units and the minimum win was 9 units if I had caught at least one more draw I would have taken over 45 units and so on …

The performance of the Romanians was pathetic , congrats 👏👏👏

@MrFixit. Loved your quote in the write up about Hull City ” Sliding faster than a penguin on roller skates !” Makes sense when you think about it.
Good Afternoon Guys,
Today I am going to try a bet from the President’s Cup in the E.U.A.
which Kick’s off at 14:05, between Al-Hamriyah vs Dibba Al-Hisn
Although these clubs have not played competitive football since late Feb./early March,
I think the away team is capable of finding the net twice against today’s opponent’s, so
today’s bet will be,
Dibba Al-Hisn over 1.5 team goals @ 7/4 with W/Hills – 5 points stake.
Dibba have managed to net 2+ goals against today’s opponents in 12 of the 19 H2H’s
Dibba have scored in all 10 games played today’s opponents, netting 2+ in 7 games.
Before the enforced break, Dibba had managed 2 goals in 8 of their last 12 away games.
Good Luck with all bets today !!
Missed penalty in the 92 min blows this one out of the water
onwards to tomorrow!!

Belgium U21 8+ team corners 6/4
Interesting money coming for Cork 12/1 to 17/2
2/1 DC might be the way to go GL
Their manager left, maybe players didn’t want to play for him and fans noticed….heard yesterday he was relieved to go or has no regrets so maybe that’s sparked the betting
Some fingers burnt somewhere with Cork ❌
8 Belgium 2nd half corners saves the day 👍
I ve bet an accra today all bets on international U21 matches
Belarus U21. 2-5 match goals interval
Bulgaria U21 to win
Suedia U21 H1 – 1,5 goals Suedia win by 2 goals diferents or more
Austria U21 to win
Northen Irlend or draw
Ucraina U21 – România U21 over 8,5 corners
Scoția U21 – Cehia U21 over 9,5 corners
Portugalia U21 – Norway U21 over 9,5 corners
In last 3 games I see many corners. In Soxtia U21 and Portugalia U21 can more then 10
My opinion
Bet your money how you think. I maybe inspired some tips
BE MORE INSPIRED THEN ME!
Belarus u21 4.5 corners combined first half
Both sides have seen this bet land in their most recent games
17/20, Belarus slim chances of 2nd so will hopefully be wanting to make their mark early with plenty of attacking play by the formation they have adopted
Gl
Another bet with stands a chance on current stats
Serbia u21&Georgia u21 3.5 corners combined first half
11/10

Will go with my gut so when it loses I can blame it on gut rot,lost
