BRISTOL CITY were a major letdown on Tuesday and the least said about them the better. There weren't many good things on the coupon so fair play to anyone who bagged a win.
Wednesday's a pretty quiet night but I like the look of Dumbarton, Napoli and Nottingham Forest (if they field a strong side) while I've taken Real Madrid to beat Atletico Madrid and fancy Barcelona to put a few past Real Sociedad.
Peterborough should see off Swindon but I don't like betting on JP Trophy Matches while in Holland Twente can move within a point of leaders Ajax with a win at Heerenveen but it won't be easy.
There's only one match in Scotland – but what a game. Dumbarton v Livingston … and surely the Sons owe me one after what happened a fortnight ago.
They were my Super Single choice but when their match was postponed I plumped for Scunthorpe – and we know how that one panned out.
Dumbarton have been in impressive form but due to the weather their last three matches have been away. Ian Murray's side drew 3-3 with title hopefuls Hamilton at the weekend after winning 5-1 at Alloa and 4-2 at Cowdenbeath.
If they can replicate that form under the shadow of Dumbarton Castle – and they did win their last home game against Morton – they should pick up the points.
Livingston have lost three of their last four and have fallen to third bottom – but just four points behind a Dumbarton side who will move into the fourth play-off spot with a victory. It's that tight.
Both fixtures this season have been away wins and Dumbarton have triumphed just three times at home – six away – so that's a slight concern but they are top scorers in the division.
The addition of striker Chris Kane on loan from St Johnstone has given them a massive lift and gives me the confidence to back them. Kane netted the late equaliser at Hamilton and is 4-1 with McBookie to score first and 37-40 at anytime.
Paul McGinn and Chris Turner return from bans for Dumbarton but keeper Jamie Ewings and midfielder Hugh Murray are out. Simon Mensing is a doubt for the Lions but new Slovenian defender Nejc Mevlja is poised to make his debut.
Anyone backing the Super Single to level £10 stakes would be £21.40 down this month. If Dumbarton don't win I'll put up a shortlist on Thursday and Friday and site users can pick their favourite.
I've stuck up Real Madrid on a separate thread and Barcelona -1 or -2 looks the call at home to Real Sociedad in the other semi-final.
Lyon should beat shocktroops Troyes as they bid to set up a French League Cup Final showdown with PSG but they're no bigger than 2-7.
Roma entertain Napoli in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi-final. Roma look a great bet at 1-1 with Betfred and William Hill and nothing Oor man in Napoli's said has put me off them.
My understanding is Roma will field a full-strength side and will have fresher legs after their match with Parma at the weekend was called off.
Roma have played 23 games this season and lost just once – to Juventus – and crucially they're trying to win the cup for the 10th time and add a prestigious silver star to their jersey.
While Twente look decent at over evens the best bet in their match could be both teams to score. Six of the last seven meetings have brought up this market including a 1-5 and 2-6.
In England I'll be on Nottingham Forest at Preston in their FA Cup replay but only if I see Billy Davies is putting out a strong side.

I need to play it safer for the rest of the week
Cant disagree with Roma. Napoli 3 games in 7 days and just a bit jaded. The game is a week early for me and a 1-0 wont kill Rafa. He wants the cup but champions league football is number one, followed by coppa, followed by europa league. Its been floods in Rome and there have been some infrastructure problems so im surprised the game is still on. Both teams play football, possibly Napoli appreciate a smooth pitch more and the pitch could get cut up quickly.
Mr F, has Paul posted his next batch of golf tips
cooldude, not seen them – I’ll put up a thread befoe lunchtime.
Paul has posted on the racing thread.
raaljaca, golf thread will be up soon so hopefully he’ll repost them.
Great Mr F, he still has one tournaments tips to post so I am sure Paul will repost all tips together.
I won yesterday with the over 2.5 goals that I posted.
Bristol city
Halifax
PSG
so I am going to carry this on well hopefully anyway I’m going for another treble..
Peterborough
Roma
Preston
Stake £10
Return £57.00
Paddy power
Good luck all..
I have to say, i hope Roma get beaten 4-0 but a one nil loss is good enough for me to take back to Napule.
Fulham – What an absolute disgrace! They shouldn’t be paid for a week! I hope they get relegated. How can you not beat a team two leagues below you?! They have cost me twice before……never punting them again
Macclesfield (Btts and Win)- Tick
Feyenoord (Btts and Win) – Tick
Fulham to boost the Acca………USELESS beep beep!
I have to admit, I didn’t understand what the fascination was with Bristol City yesterday as everyone seemed to be quite keen on them! Coventry are much stronger team all over the park and Brizzle City only have two decent players in the whole team and they are the forwards!
I think I’ll leave P’boro and Swindon alone tomorrow as a lot of players are cup tied
QUESTIONS FOR TOMORROW
Can anyone shed any info on Dumbarton Vs Livingstone tomorrow? Team news / opinions
Will Forest be fielding a full team against Preston? According to Davies he’s going to!
Does anyone fancy Heerenveen against Twente tomorrow?
I’ve pretty much got my ACCA sorted but waiting on team news……..
Fulham are so poor. I was in Ladbrokes yesterday and said to my mate that you’d have to be brave to take their 4/7 on Fulham. I still expected them to win the game though.
Great write up Paul
Troy I feel your pain, worst thing is they’ll probably get a point at old trafford on Sunday
SS Cambuur+1/2 asian handicap psv have only won one away from 11 on asian handicap so Cambuur @2.025 looks great.
PSV are dreadful at the moment. Can Cambur beat them? 6/1 on the btts and win market.
I’m pretty certain I know what tip Alex is going to post. One team in the Greek beginning with L
I think Cambuur will win. I’ve already got them on my shortlist @ 10/3, As you say, PSV are dreadful away. 6/1 to win and concede? Very tempting.
I dont know if Cambuur will beat them but will get the draw and thats why I have them on the asian market +1/2 last H2H at psv was nil nil.
Dumbarton over 1.5 team goals @ 4/5 and Forest over 1.5 team goals @ 11/10 look good tonight. I’m also on Athletico Madrid +1 @ evens and Sociedad +3 @ evens.
Lol Troy same for me, went to the bookies before for work for the first time in ages. I did score and win Fulham, Coventry, Halifax and Macclesfield 50p paid £131 and an acca Fulham draw, Coventry, fleetwood Halifax Heracles and barrow 50p paid £151. What an f ing night F Fulham F fleetwood. So close to £280 from a quid.
I personally think As Roma will be too strong for a weak Napoli of the moment and playing more games a week does not make it easier for them.
Heerenveen match should see both teams to score as well as peterborough who cant seem to keep a clean sheet at the moment.
Preston match should be left out of any combination as you cannot possibly predict that match. Leave it alone guys
Top treble:
As Roma Win
Heerenveen btts
Peterborough btts
Smaller stakes than normal for my yankee today, just looking to keep things interesting.
Heerenveen to beat Twente and BTTS
NEC to beat NAC and BTTS
Go Ahead Eagles to beat RKC and BTTS
Lyon to beat Troyes and BTTS
Dutch games normally produce goals, it’s mainly the teams to win that i’d be worried about.
Both team score games.
1. Dumbarton v livington
2. Preston NE v nottingham F
3. PACK salonica v Of creta etc

Unfortunately pretty slim pickings last night and again it was the shorter priced bet that let me down
Once Caldas to win @ 1.95 LOST
Fortaleza over 3.5 ftg @ 2.15 WIN
Overall no harm no foul
Patrick was on your second match – great work chief! :)
Four fold complete
Notts Forest to beat Preston (BTTS and Win)
Levadiakos to beat Apollon Smyrni (BTTS and Win)
Roma (win only)
Dumbarton to beat Livingstone (Win only)
Forest may have a couple of players missing but they are scoring for fun at the moment.
Troy, Forest have been scoring for fun apart from the 0-0 draw with Preston. Pretty sure Billy Davies won’t be keep to go out to his former club but I want to see the line-up before taking Forest.
I’ve done another four fold ACCA (small stake)
Real Madrid to beat A Madrid (BTTS and Win)
Dumbarton to beat Livingstone (BTTS and Win)
Heerenveen to beat Twente (BTTS and Win) Juicy 5/1
Roma (Win Only)
In all fairness you could probably do Roma minus one
Not trying to cloud the water but i would still be wary of lumping a Coppa game into a treble. It is the Coppa. Even though Napoli are going to be a bit weary their squad is bigger and has more quality in it than Roma.
Roma won 2-0 in the league in Rome but they were given those goals(a penalty and a free kick by the same defender who no longer plays at Napoli) and Napoli missed a few howlers.
Its always worth remembering.
But I still think Roma will win but id be surprised if they won by 3 or even 2 goals.
I havent heard from Alex today.am so grateful for his tips and always on the look out whenever he posts.
Mean i think these days am abit off the win draw lose bet and so much into under/over tips.
Any one with tips for under/over today,please post for me
Unfortunately Den Haag couldn’t score last night and let down the btts treble. Some bet’s I’ll be on today and some stats to mull over,
PANTHRAKIKOS Vs PLATANIAS (15:15)
Platanias are hovering just above the drop zone and play a Panthrakikos team who have won all of their last 5 games at home and have a good record against teams below them in the table. Platanais had a good result at against PAOK at home but away from home makes some grim reading.
W 1, D 2, L 8.
They have conceded 2 or more goals in all but one of their last 5 away games(2,3,2,3,1) and Panthrakikos have managed to score two or more in all but one of their last five home games (2,2,1,2,4).
PANTHRAKIKOS OVER 1.5 TEAM GOALS 11/8
PANTHRAKIKOS WIN 1/1
I’m looking at the NEC game but still undecided. NAC Breda have had a very tough run of away fixtures recently losing to TWENTE, AJAX, VITESSE, AZ before most recently beating HERACLES so recent form is maybe not going to give the best indication of how the game will pan out bearing in mind NEC are second bottom for a reason. Hopefully Greg or Alex might have some thoughts on the game.
Hello everybody.
Mr Fix it,
in 6 weeks of this new year the super singles is only on about a 20% hit rate. I view this site everyday so im not a troll just think I have an opinion,
It needs a new strategy, not having a pop just saying. I haven’t bet for 4days now on them and the only one which came in was sunday, which was a argument I raised last year about doing 2doubles which would win instead of a single.
IF you do £10 stakes on the ss you will need to win 3 on the bounce just to break even as it stands. people will try and change there stake to win back there money and atm its just going to cause them more losses unless something changes.
Why not make the super single lowests odds of 1/2 or 1/3 and make the stake £20 that way you would make the same on a 1/2 shot for £20 as you would a £10 even. surley this would make more sence for the time being and it would get us all in profit again.The points system would also work better on these stakes.
please don’t take this to heart because you are doing a very good job, im not one to moan and not come up with a solution! let me know your thoughts.
bryantdemolish, putting up 1-2 and 1-3 shots isn’t proper tipping for mots people on this site. Knowledgable punters will already be ware of these teams an in general our audience know what they’re doing. For years I’ve put up Super Singles with good profits – one bad month won’t stop me. However, when I don’t see one I like at evens I may go with the double. Bottom line is look at the single and only back it if you agree.
I understand that is the tradition of this site and don’t get me wrong ive had better months than others but im sure if everyone made money everyday and it wasn’t over evens people would rather that than loosing.
bryantdemolish, of course that’s the case but do I really need to point out very short-priced popular teams to the majority on here? I’m trying to find value first and foremost.
Anyone got any Greek tips little treble or anything
Does anybody know a bookies that will give odds on individual players to booked for the madrid derby tonight? Pepe and Costa have got to be stick ons.
Damo, you’ll get first booking from most and some do players to be booked. Check oddschecker or betrescue for full available markets for all the bookies.
Cheers Mr F, 5/6 for Pepe and 2/1 for Costa to be booked anytime with BetVictor. May have a wee shot at that.
JP, as we say it can take 4-5 weeks to be credited. Betfred credit the accounts once a month.
Barcelona V Real Sociedad
Considering Barcelona are 1-8 for the win, the 5/6 for Barca to win both halves seems pretty generous. Sociedad have been hammered by the top teams away from home this season and I’m sure Barca will want to put this out of site before going to San Sebastian for the second leg. Something to consider also, Barca responded to their previous league defeat by winning the next seven games in all competitions, scoring 28 goals in the process.
Barca to win both halves 5/6
**sight, not site haha too early!
Excellent tip Damo, going to win back my Den Haag pound from it ;)
That’s is the plan. I got a tip from a guy who knows a guy that this Barca mob are not bad at this football stuff!
DAMO – Great tip on the both half’s result. On it.
Atl.Madrid double chance @ evens v Real Madrid tonight.
bryant – odds on teams don’t always come in… You’re buying money! You don’t have to be Einstein to put Man City and Real M in a double for example.
There’s plenty of value to be had for odds against super single!
I’d like to see a BTTS and Win as a single occasionally! Today’s would be Dumbarton at 11/4 as stats suggest Livingstone will score
When are man city ever as good as 1/2 on?
bryantdemolish, not sure what you’re saying about Man City.
I just spat ma teef oot lol
Barca v Sociedad..BTTS & Barca to win 29/20 @ Ladbrokes
Charlie look at Levadiakos for team
Goals or btts and win market!
@damo . Great spot on the barca game man …. Looks like huge value . I’m on it :)
Man City to win the league is available @ 6/5 with Matchbook,next six lge. games City should take maximum points,then they can be layed at very small odds! EASY?????
BARCELONA VS REAL SOCIEDAD TIPS
Barcelona will be keen to get back onto the winning track tonight after their 3-2 defeat to Valencia at the weekend. I could see Barcelona grabbing 4 or 5 goals tonight and one man who gas a decent chance of getting onto the scoresheet is 6ft 4 centre back Gerard Pique. He’s always a threat with set pieces and he has scored twice in Barcelona’s previous five matches, one of which being the first goal. He’s available at a standout price of 25/1 for first goal with Bet365. To score anytime he is a best price of 13/2 with Bet365 but I’d advise backing him each way as you’ll get a shade over 8/1 if he scores anytime. I’ve had to get someone else to place my bets due to my account being closed.
Recommended Bets:
Gerard Pique First Goalscorer ew @ 25/1
Gerard Piquie First Goalscorer 1-20 mins @ 65/1
Good luck everyone!!
If somebody offered you a bet on the football of either home, away or draw at 13/8 you would bite their hand off for it. Well the opportunity has arisen in the race that Johnb’s NAP runs in tonight. The 6.00 at Kempton has become a 3 runner race and the main opposition to Johns NAP has been backed into favourite which means the horse that our legendary tipster has napped, ARTEMIS is available at 13/8. Anybody looking for a decent run for their money tonight should make a point of having a small wager on this horse!!
raaljaca, I’m on!
Good stuff Mr F, only 3 runners but it will be a very interesting race.
Regards Man City, I think he was having a dig at me….. You can find City at 2’s on occasionally if they are playing away! They were even money against Spurs recently!
Mr F – I think you should’ve put Dumbarton btts and win as your super single! Made it a 2 pointer! That’ll reduce the deficit
Simon Cox F/G for Forest… Bloody good striker
Troy, I’m not that keen on btts and win – and remember it’s not a single, it’s not even a double but a treble in reality. I’ll be quite happy with a Dumbarton win. Cox is worth a look – if he starts.
On both of them raal :) plus blaayers nap and Dougie c nap ! Did a cheeky Yankee , keep up the good work on the equine thread mate ! Mightn’t back horses everyday but always have a peek when I do :)
Good stuff William and good luck mate ;)
Good morning to all! It’s been a rough week so far, but I’m hoping to get back to winning ways today. I wouldn’t blame anyone for having a little go after the last couple of days, but it’s going to get better and after 10 out of 11 weeks of profit since I’ve been doing these detailed tips and write-up’s I’m not bothered in the slightest. But hopefully they’ll be some winners today.
PANTHRAKIKOS V PLATANIAS 3:15pm
Panthrakikos have scored 2 or more in 4 of their last 5 home matches and are on a winning streak of 5 in a row at home. Platanias are on a run of 4 defeats in 5 away from home and have conceded 2 or more in 4 of their last 5 away games. The home side should have too much for their opponents today and I’m backing them to score 2 or more goals at 11/8.
MEMELODI SUNDOWNS V GOLDEN ARROWS 5:30pm (South African Premier League)
This is a bit of an unusual step for me, but I’m confident about this one. 5 of the last 6 Sundowns matches have gone over 2.5 goals and the only one that didn’t was a 0-1 loss at home to top of the table Kaizer Chiefs. The Golden Arrows have seen 4 of their last 6 away matches go over 2.5 goals including each of their last 3 which they’ve conceded 3 goals in each. There is a huge gulf in class between the two sides and if it becomes available in-play, I’ll be on Mamelodi to score over 2.5 team goals, but as it stands, over 2.5 match goals pays EVENS and I’ll be on that.
TIPS:
Panthrakikos over 1.5 team goals – 11/8
Mamelodi Sundowns v Golden Arrows over 2.5 match goals – EVENS
Just the two from me today on a tough looking card. Let’s hope to claw back some losses!
Good to see we are on the same page with the Greek game!
Hi Alex, after a couple of months of doing my own bets/johnb’s (of course), i’d like to start following your tips again. Just wondering which system you think suits your tips better, level or adjusted stakes?
Cheers buddy
Jack – Thanks for the comment. I personally do them adjusted stakes, but level stakes has seen profit 10/11 weeks so far too. It really is up to you, but on days like today with only 2 selections, level stakes would work fine.
No worries mate your tips are excellent and show clear profit over time, we all know its a marathon not a sprint so I will be following as of today.
Cheers for the reply, and good luck for today!
Hi all. One inplay pick for good mornin
Helios – Metalurg Res
Over 2.5 @ 1.80
Goodluck !
In johnb we trust :) dunno where ya found that guy raal but hold on till him cos he’s some pup! Looking forward to seeing ruby partnering my old mucker Tidal Bay at leopardstown at the weekend ! It ain’t a tip he’s just my fav horse in training .
William, they’re some double act – that’s johnb and raaljaca not Ruby and Tidal Bay. Right, off to walk the dug in the cold.
i think real madrid 1-2 athletico madrid at 12/1 willie hills
Alex, nobody should be giving you a hard time mate, you do a lot of great work and like you said, you’ve been consistently in profit so don’t worry if you have a bad couple if days.
Heerneven v Twente
This is truly a match for the stato’s out there and one in which should deliver us some goals! The leagues highest scoring teams meet and the goals these two have seen so far this season has been exceptional! Let’s start with Twente, just one defeat in their last 14, they’ve won 7 of their last 8 and have scored 2 or more in 9 of their last 11! Despite scoring they aren’t the cleverest at the back having conceded in their last 12 ( Both teams scored in those 12). The hosts too have seen plenty if goals with 10 of their last 14 over 3.5 with 12 of those matches seeing both teams score! Everything points toward goals here, obviously it doesn’t always work about like that but I can see at least three bing scored tonight with Twente in rampant form coming out on top!
Back Twente over 1.5 Team goals ( NAP )
Over 1.5 First half goals 6/5
Over 3.5 match goals 6/5
(
Finnish cup match at 1pm
Honka v Helsinki
The two best teams in finish football meet here in the league cup! Helsinki have celebrated their 5th consecutive league title last season. With Honka way back in second The visitors are priced up at 4/7 but could be worth a look at over 1.5 teams goals!
Greg – All the regulars know that it’s a long term game and we all go through slumps and peaks. You’re peaking at the moment and I’m slumping but soon we’ll both be peaking :P
Oh and some John bloke seems to be doing okay I guess? Heard he landed a horse winner once, big whoop :P
And blayyers just landed his 9th nap from 12 selections!!! ;)
After looking at a pretty dry card but i’ve found some bets that I think are worthwhile.
Dumbarton are on a great run of form at the moment but are going to have to start picking up there home form if they want to start pushing up the table, so tonight is a good chance to start that at home to a poor Livingston side at 6/5. Athletico are looking great this season and with Deigo Costa scoring goals for fun I can see him getting one tonight. Real will face a tough game tonight and think they will win but I feel more value is in the both teams to score market, with both teams to score at 4/6.NEC Nijmengen and NAC Breda is the last game I have chosen as I think it will be a game that produces goals. Upon some research I have found that NEC at home have averaged 4.5 goals and NAC away from home have averaged 3.7 so based on stats this game could have plenty goals but I think over 2.5 to be a little safer would be good at 6/10. I put all selections in a treble and got just over 4/1.
Am on Livingston tonight. Won last 5 that I can see away to Dumbarton and have left with more away points this season (13) than Dumbarton have won at home (12). Dumbarton are a much better side away from home picking up 19 points on the road. 12/5 skybet for Livingston surely worth backing.
You are aware of what livingston sold in January transfer market Alan?
Sparky, they sold their star man Stefan Scougall to Sheffield Utd which was one reason for taking Dumbarton in the original game.
Alan, I can’t argue with the stats and I’ve pointed out Dumbarton are better away. It’s the whole argument again whether form is king. If it is Dumbarton will win.
Like the look of the top treble going to go for cambuur as my super single
Alex , not sure I’m quite a regular yet lol but all the hard work you do and all the other top guys on here do is Properly Appreciated by myself and all the folk who either are too lazy or simply can’t crunch the stats like you guys!! We all understand peaks and troughs so never apologies for doing the hard work for us !! :)
William , you are as regular as regular can be mate ;)
Am waiting for you The Dane
real-Atletico under 2.5 tg Barca win both halves Roma and Greg’s tip. Pays around 10 and i think its a solid acc.Good luck today,i rly need after black yestarday
Bryan, I think you’re being very harsh. Mr F has had just ONE losing month, over a very long period. I’ve been following this site for a long time and I don’t remember any other losing months (correct me if I’m wrong) so if you’re following the SS, you cannot fail to be in profit. One bad month makes no difference. Keep the faith.
Baldy45, the only two losing months I’ve had in the past 18 are both Januarys! Next year I’m going away in January.
I’m on that Greek game, thanks to those that tipped.
Might be wrong on this but both Forest and Preston have very winnable away games on Saturday to bolster their promotion aspirations. Weakend teams may be the preference of both managers tonight for the
preferred 3pts come Saturday.
John Boy, I’ve said all along don’t bet on this game until you see teams. What you say is correct and Craig Davies can’t play for Preston so probably be Kevin Davies up front.
Maobi..ignore the troll and he will disappear..

Helo dane,macclesfields draw choped off ma money yestday man! Nweah thats life.give me only two valuable sures to regain my money.thx
Hi Alex, You are one of the best football tippers on here and I cannot wait to read your comments. The reasoning is solid and backed by the stats, which is what this game is all about.
You bother to spend the time in researching for all to see.
Personally, I read you comments, then check the stats, leagues, form etc and then do the bet.
Occasionally, I am not as brave as you on the bets but in general, you are the guy to follow.
Please keep it up because you have contributed to a change in the way I do my betting
I am definitely on your Greek bets today. Not check the SA one yet.
Thanks
Helsinki over 1.5 team goals 4/5 inplay, match just kicked off!
Don’t suppose anyone else in here bets on MMA? Made £2000 in January, and with the UFC holding a record number of events in 2014, almost one a week, it’s a good opportunity to make some money. If nothing else it gives me other people to discuss it with!
Bobbygoodtimes, we’ve put up threads in the past but it’s not massively popular on the site. When our changes take place I know someone who will be happy to kick off a debate and put up some tips.
Bobbygoodtimes, I follow MMA and have done for many years. Feel free to put up any thoughts or tips on the racing thread as plenty of the guys tip NBA, NFL etc and our resident Penguin will be getting up to date info for the Winter Olympics.
Cheers Mr F and Raal, indeed I will do! No event on this weekend but I’ve been doing my homework for a week on Saturday, so I’ll post up my thoughts on the racing thread when I have my bets decided.
Look forward to them mate. Have you heard anymore about Da Silva, if he will retire or not?
Can’t see it happening Raal, although he has mentioned it. He’s made his money, and coming back after an injury like that, to me just doesn’t make sense. Although I’m not entirely sold on Chris Weidman, he did beat him twice, think it’s just his time to hang them up.
By which I mean I can’t see him coming back! Read your question wrong.
Tend to agree Bobby, that injury will always be a weakness to be targeted and he won’t be the same fighter he was in my opinion.
Sorry I know nothing of MMA but if your talking about the guy who practically snapped his leg I’ve watched it and it was awful!
That was the one honda!
Bang on mate, it’s going to affect him both mentally and physically. Being hesitant to throw leg kicks when you’re known primarily for your striking ability is a recipe for disaster!
im on helsinki o1.5 greg!lets hope for a nice start to the day!
Brescia Women now in Serie A against Verona women. Home side won reverse fixture 4-1 and both teams score lots of goals.
I’m on home team -1 @ evens
Panthrakikos vs Platanias
Panthrakikos won one important point in last game they played in Veroia, but they are now in big problems. In that game their third goalie got a red card and now they have huge problems because their three goalkeepers are out. Change of goalkeeper always brings confuse to defense and I think that we will see exactly that from Panthrakikos. Platanias on the other side made big sensation, they won three points against PAOK. They were trailing right after the start, but PAOK was underestimating them under that and they used it. Their coonfidence is on maximum now and I think that they can steal a point in Komotini.
tip
Platanias double chance
First one in on the Yankee Woop Woop . Praise be to the nap guys !! :)
MMA is my main betting sport.
No Draws, and an over 2.5 rounds treble usually pays 10-1 .
Plus not as many upsets.
Two of the reasons I bet on it myself.
Raal, was that confidant about his nap I had it in a trixie a Yankee and on a single, haha! :)
Brilliant start Greg, today is going to be a good day :)
IS RONALDO PLAYING OR SUSPENDED WITH HIS RED CARD?
Red card was in the league, this is a cup game so he is free to play.
Bet Your Bottom Dollar, in my match preview I’ve said his ban will apply to the league so he can play tonight.
Hey Oor man, is it just me, or has the popularity of Serie A fallen quite dramatically the last 2 or 3 years? Personally my own mates dont watch any Serie A, even Coppa Italia finals just Premier.
Anyhow, I for one always like to keep an eye out for the derbies in Serie A and always check weekends results, and may even watch tonight’s game featuring your favourite club Napoli!
Now I wont be betting Oor man, but I cannot believe the price of Napoli at 4/1. Fair enough their away from home but these Italian cup games are usually fierce competitive, so Im salivating like a dog waiting for tonights kick off!! Do you go to Italy watch Napoli play?
Ronaldo to score in 1-20 minute 8/1 bet365
I personally think Preston forest has another draw all over it. At 5/2 it’s well worth a score.
Also fancy roma
Keep an eye on Varde game inplay, currently 2/1 for away win which is looking likely. Small stake advised
My NAP is in – just a shame it opened at low odds – got 5/6 for it
Red star Belgrade, goal line over 3 1.75. A goal would see return of stake 2 would be a win. Playing 10
Both teams to score is in on Helsinki match – just need 1 more helsinki goal greg!
20 to go George, hope so :)
Varde inplay away win
1/1 WIN
2/1 sorry.
Honka to win inplay 7/1
Mr F, it has yet to happen to me, touch wood, but what happens if I back a player to score, but the ball takes a deflection and goes down as on OG?
cooldude, if your player scores with the aid of a deflection and it’s officially put down as an OG then it’s loser. The general rule in the UK is if it was on target it would the player’s goal but if the shot was going wide or is turned in through a deliberate movement it’s an OG.
A strong Forrest side failed to score against Preston and Preston were the better side in the first game. Preston beat a good Blackpool side at deepdale earlier in the season . I advise caution in this match and feel it’s best avoided.
Redstar Belgrade goal line over 3
Returned stake.
Honka win
7/1 LOST
Word of warning re super single. In my experience, bet365 have not had the Championship matches in in-play so no covering bets.
Cooldude,
Wherever the money is, is where the popularity resides. And the premiership is where the tv deals and eastern owners are.
Of course Serie A was the first super league from the late 80s to 90s tipping the 00s. They created aspects of what the game is now.
It payed a high price for swishing money around like it was Monopoly money but now things are stable and most Serie A teams are healthy but not super rich. This is because almost all Serie A teams are owned by Italians.
Italian game is still probably the toughest of the lot, arguably. Certainly the most tactical of all.
Serie A is transforming now as many teams look to build new stadium which has been hard under italian laws. There are still many issues that need solved.
Napoli being 4/1? Well odds are the last thing i look at in Serie A and B. You spot the wins and do it whether its 7/2 or 4/5. I dont let odds or popularity sway me on who i think will win. I hsd Carpi on at 9/4 at the weekend and they won 4-1
I get to the games when i can, and I live in Italy and Scotland and no im not rich!
It could be a cracking match but I think Roma may spoil it. They may be quite happy to just sit back as they will likely be scared at Napoli counter attacking. Napoli dont like walls. They rely on speed and quick passing and a wall stops all that fun. Tiredness will factor.
@Greg I remember backing jong psv a couple wks back and goals galore was expected and ended 0-0.
I’m on this but weary now regards the should be goals tag
I have been doing a daily double now for a while and having pretty good success rate with it so now with a bit of confidence and wins behind me thought would start posting on here. My double odds is usually between at least evens and 6/4 and find it can be a good way to go as a couple of 2/5 shots can give you a good even money bet. I now plan to post my daily double most days and will keep a track record for all to see.
At the same time would just liek to say a big thanks to Mr F for all his effort along with the regular posters who I follow every day and in particular as you can see it involves a lot of time and effort.
Anyway for my 1st posted Daily Double I have gone for the following:
Herenveen V FC Twente oveer 2.5 Goals
Both teams are big scorers. 9 of Twentes last 11 matches have seen over 2.5 goals with the other 2 games still having a couple of goals.Herenveen are similar with 8 of the last 9 seeing overs. I notice Greg has already tipped over 3.5 goals which looks highly likley but to be safer ill take 2.5 at odds of 1/2
Preston v Forest – Under 3.5 Goals
Whilst Forest have scored 7 goals in the last 2 games these have both been at home. Away from home lately they have been fairly goal shy managing just 3 goals in the last 4 away games. Preston dont concede many having had clean sheets in their last 3 games including th nil nil draw in the 1st leg between the sides. I can see a fairly cagey, tight game here similar to last night and whilst I feel yunder 2.5 goals has a string chance I will take under 3.5 for the double at odds of around 1/3.
DAILY DOUBLE # 1 – PRESTON V FOREST UNDER 3.5 GOALS & HERENVEEN V TWENTE OVER 2.5 GOALS – PAYS evens at SKYBET.
Neil H, the double must have a chance even though Twente have been defending well of late.
Any corners today Mark in the Coppa Italia game?
Brescia Women now in Serie A against Verona women. Home side won reverse fixture 4-1 and both teams score lots of goals.
I’m on home team -1 @ evens
FINAL SCORE: 3-1 WIN
Hope some of you got on it ;)
Just home from work to fine an extra £38.80 in my account, amongst other bets i had a treble on last night..
PSG HTFT 11/10 (win)
Bristol O2.5 match goals 4/5 (win)
Fulham HTFT (lose) but says void on my slip
so i have been paid out on the double, why was the Fulham game void? the bet is with 365, don’t want to ask them in-case they take it back..
Davie-S, bet365 must have been doing their bore draw (0-0) moneyback offer.
Cheers for that Mr F that’s a wee bonus, don’t need to whip it out my account now, if it was a mistake i would have given them it back….HONEST!!
just couple acca’s from me tonight

Hi
Mr Fixit want to know the minimum amount to open an account at Bet365 to be claim a 200 pound as free bets.
Yussuf, pretty sure it’s a matched offer up to £200 – so to get £200 you’ll need to deposit £200. but check ts and cs.
Yussuf, I recently did the £200 BET365 offer. They give you the £200 straight away as a match but you have turn over the £200 deposited and the matched £200 3 times before you can withdraw the free £200. Basically you can use the £200 free to bet with but you need to place a total of £1200 before you can withdraw the free £200 (if you want to)
Think i just fractured my hand writing that thesis on the mobile…
Well done Tonyboy with the Brescia ladies. Good odds
Preston to qualify 5/4 for me tonight plus on mr fs ss Dumbarton 31/20 and a double just under 5/1 good luck everybody
For anyone on mine or Alex’s Panthrakikos tip, of their last 5 home games 9 of the 11 goals they scored were in the second half so here’s hoping that stat holds up again here!
Damo – As you say, loads of time mate, I like the look of that stat too.
Levadiakos vs Apollon Smirnis. HT 0-0 and over 1.5 is 2/1 or better on betfair. Normally evens for most games on 1.5 apart from if there’s a good reason. I can’t see one as the home side have went over 2.5 5 games from last 5. Ok the away side aren’t exactly prolific away from home but have been involved in a 2-2 and a 2-0 win against decent opposition.
Value bet?
Hope you got on, just had a look it was 11/4 but goal just been scored!
Hope your right boys!
Still 0-0 mate. It’s the Greek game I tipped up that just went 1-0. Incidentally the market doesn’t fancy goals in this one, one more goal is even money, 20 to go.
Yeah that’s the game I was refering to, the one you tipped up. Just meant I hope you got on as I seen it went 1-0 pretty soon after you mentioned it!
There’s one!
Damo / Alex – there’s one….one more please
First goal for Alex’s and Damo’s Greek team, 1 more needed with 20 minutes to go!
Got on them to score at least once in the second half at 11/8 after Damo’s comment about their goal times, so made profit of the game regardless. A 2nd would be even better though :D
NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie – 19:45 CET
G.A. Eagles – Waalwijk | Both Teams to Score YES @ 1.53
+
GREECE: Super League – 18:00 CET
PAOK – OFI Crete | Alternative Corners OVER 8 @ 1.44
Levadiakos vs Apollon Smirnis 1-1!! :-)
Great tip Craigdon, nice one mate.
PANTHRAKIKOS OVER 1.5 TEAM GOALS 11/8 lost
PANTHRAKIKOS WIN 1/1 won
Well level stakes means I’m even but disappointed they couldn’t grab a second.
It was break even Damo so no damage done.
Very disappointing that Panthrakikos couldn’t grab another, it’s just not happening at the moment! Onto South Africa we go!
Aww waited too long :(
Bets started well all my Greek teams won £200 profit and cambuur 1-0 already
Bit of risk involved here but high-flying AEL Limassol are losing 1-0 away at half time to lowly Aris Limassol in Cyprus Division 1.
I anticipate the away side could come back in second half and DNB is currently evens.
Preston v Forest DRAW 5/2
Madrid derby UNDER 2.5 GOALS 9/10
Double pays 6.65/1
Prices taken @ Betvictor
Ive yet to see a comment from an NHL follower, rather disappointing.
Hi, I’m an NHL follower :)
nice one raal :) i watched a documentary on youtube about an enforcer who died from an addiction to painkillers aged 28. its a gripping doc that i wud strongly advise for any hockey fan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFvhpDg9naU
Will do cooldude, thanks mate.
Seriously Raal after that injury he should retire am sure he’s made enough money
All on your own cooldude ;)
Sticking to low odds low risk for this evening and staying away from the tight cup games, although I like Roma’s price.
The 3 Dutch games all look over 2.5 and they all average well in the stats, even the game down the bottom end, NEC v NAC looks good for goals but as Im playing safe I’ll go over 1.5 on the 3 of them. Treble pays 8/13, which is OK but I’m adding Lyon and Benfica who should both come through against lower league opposition. The five fold pays 5/2.
I know ye, Im used of it. I would have thought been the worlds fastest sport and one of the most physical that there would be more followers on here. I suppose the majority are europeans on this not american, canadian or scandies
Atletico madrid v Real Madrid, likely to be very close as its a cup game and both in great form.. Atletico +1 handicap 5/6
Real Sociedad +3 handicap coming on the back of a big defeat but at 3/4 seems a good price for a cup game likely again to be close
my bets are on. hoping no real madrid win. come on atletico!
raaljaca, great to take a part of such an expert forum. Thanks for that.
As for racing posts, I am following it studying what horse racing is all about.
Second day in a row I just coudn’t find ALANM NAPs where he is sharing infos?
Congrats AlanM, great result!
***JOHNB’S NAP FOR THURSDAY ***
John is busy this evening an has asked me to put up his NAP for tomorrow.
WOLVERHAMPTON 7.30 RED SHADOW
His selection is 6/1 with Bet365 and 7/1 with Paddy Power. John will put up an NB either later tonight or tomorrow morning.
Is the legend. John b at football training raalj?! :)
Tomtoms, Alan posts on the racing thread each day, best to find his wee picture and scan for his posts as the numbers are going through the roof!!
Just 2 trebles for me tonight:
Over 2.5- Heerenveen, Lyon and Peterborough
Anytime scorer- Ronaldo, Garner and Assombalanga
Good luck with the SS tonight. Might have a wee flutter on that before it kicks off ( :
Raal, while I enjoy the sport, it by no means comes ahead of football horses or poker. Id say yourself would know a bit more then me, but sure its hard bet for fights and beer ;)
Winter Olympics will be excellent for the Ice Hockey mate!!
bbc hopefully have coverage of that. I cant get that vicious slash out of my head, Mc Sorley v Brasher. apparently he went to jail for a day and was released. Put it to you like this raal, if it happened on the street you would get years
Lots of good stats and suggestions.
Went with MrF SS: Dumbarton
BTTS Treb: Preston, Real Madrid & Roma
small stakes
hey mr f,
any information about nottingham lineup? are they going to win?
Joe Garner first goal and one nil to Preston 50/1 worth a pound.
play 71
Forest team
De Vries, Jara, Collins, Lascelles, Harding, Moussi, Mackie, Abdoun, Derbyshire, Halford, Cox
Craig Mc, cheers. Looks a strong Forest side to me. I’d back them and consider Cox to score.
St Mirren have signed former Man utd flop 32 year old Eric Djemba Djemba. feel sorry for any St Mirren fans out there.
Roma: De Sanctis; Maicon, Benatia, Castan, Torosidis; Nainggolan, De Rossi, Strootman; Ljajic, Totti, Gervinho
Napoli: Reina; Maggio, Fernandez, Albiol, Reveillere; Inler, Jorginho; Insigne, Hamsik, Callejon; Higuain
Only surprise, no Pjanic for Roma in 11.
For anyone whose interested the super single is 10/11 draw no bet at hills which I think is a knocking bet with the concession involved .
Bit of risk involved here but high-flying AEL Limassol are losing 1-0 away at half time to lowly Aris Limassol in Cyprus Division 1.
I anticipate the away side could come back in second half and DNB is currently evens.
FINAL SCORE: 1-1. VOID
I will be at the game tonight so I might post some in running comments! Hopefully goals for the sons of the rock!:)
thank you guys! love this site
Oor man, on they line ups who should do well? What about florenzi for roma aswell where is he?
Evening guys, I’m sticking to a player who has landed be some winning bets the last few days, Simon Cox. He came off the bench to net twice against Watford, scored against Yeovil on Sunday and nearly grabbed a brace, when his shot was turned in on the line. I’m on him anytime 2/1 and to grab a brace at 10/1 Betvictor
I think Forest will continue there good scoring form against lower league opposition. Forest O1.5g is 5/4 William Hill.
COX TO SCORE 2/1
COX TO SCORE 2+ 10/1
FOREST TO SCORE O1.5g 5/4
Good luck if your having a bet
Good spot Graeme, just noticed. Both good teams. Perhaps, and just perhaps, Pjanic is not on as they may be less interested in pushing forward and hope Napoli to come at them…
I still say Roma simply because they are fresh and not played for 10 days. Higuain and Albiol need to be clean as a yellow will see them miss the return leg.
Napoli could struggle to break 10 men behind the ball, if Roma do that.
Ljajic is replacing Florenzi Graeme…Florenzi and Pjanic on bench.
Pjanic aparantly has knee problems but not sure it hes on the bench or what cant see substitutes!
Higuin might get pulld of after an hour then to save him being booked!
Cheers oor man,
will be watching with interest!
Yeah, from what i know Pjanic is ok, he was left on the bench v Juve, but came on late. but ive not checked to confirm. Dont care ha! He can have the flu for all I care! And Totti and de rossi!
Lyon v Troyes KO 7.55pm
Only other match for me tonight comes in the French cup! Lyon have been terrific over the last few months – they lost their 1st match in 14 games at the weekend but that had more to do with the fact they had a man sent off early in the match! Prior to that they have scored at least 2 goals in their previous 11! Troyes have been good to is on our Friday night French matches, with it being a cup game they could very well score and it will be goals I’m on here!
Lyon over 1.5 Team goals 8/11
Over 2.5 match goals 9/10
This Madrid derby goog game to watch but boiling over already no surprise if a red in this game
Good luck with Pique Chris, Pepe has done it for Real Madrid, reckon the odds would have been similar
Another tough evening and once again it was one goal off in each of the games.
FT: Sundowns 2-0 Arrows
Certainly not a good week -7 pts in total now, but I’m not hiding from it and now it’s more about limiting the losses, but I’m still not changing my selection criteria and tomorrow is a new day!
Alex, your a top man with top tips and lately very unlucky, 1 goal short repeatedly. Very soon you will be back to winning ways mate, it’s because of you from when I first joined that I look for the goal patterns you look for. I owe you too much!
Real Madrid 6-0 up on corners. leading 1-0 on 44 mins RT9 8/13
Craig, and good to see it was given as an OG. Pepe’s shot was going well wide but you never know these days.
My treble for tonight
Lyon O 1.5 team goals…. 8/11
Dumbarton O 1.5 team goals.10/11
Lokeren O 2.5 match goals..21/20
treble pays in the region of 11/2..
Alex – I’m sure you’ll hit a purple patch again soon. A couple of bad days isn’t going to stop me from backing your tips
Ive not posted it tonight but after den haag letting us down last night the Dutch league has duly obliged with the goals tonight!
Not enough yet Damo, I need Heerenveen and Twente both to score for a nice treble.
That one looks certain for goals though, sure it’ll come in! Was it not this game The Dane reckoned the goals would be flowing but not until the second half.
Woohoo that will do me. The Dane says it will happen then it will happen!! Cheers Damo.
Alex, you’ve been incredibly unlucky since Sunday. Nearly every tip has only been out by just one goal and it just goes to show the fine margins. I’m sure you’ll be back to winning ways in no time!
Don’t worry about a few unlucky tips Alex – it’s to be expected if you’re good enough to put up tips every day
First time I’ve had a stab at this market but said earlier I fancied pepe and costa to be booked. Cheers to mr f for pointing me in the direction of a bookies with the market.
Pepe booking anytime 5/6 win
Costa booking anytime 2/1 win
Damo, it’s getting quite tasty but at least my Real bet looks good.
Yeah Real have looked excellent, would be very surprised if we see another Derby-esque collapse! Fancy them to grab another.
Appreciate all the comments guys and I’m well aware that everybody goes through bad spells and I’m sure it’s a matter of time before it turns back our way again!
It’s great to see so many people putting up well-reasoned tips now though, even if they don’t win, I appreciate anyone who’s willing to put in the effort to write up a reasoning for a selection. Of course not everyone wishes to or wants to, but it’s great to see it when they do.
Lyon 2-0 Troyes 27 mins :)
Over 1.5 Lyon team goal 8/11 WIN
Really surprised at how good a price this was considering their is a leagues difference + Lyon have been playing really well recently!

There’s been 3 clear cut chances 2 for Livingston one of which was an open goal and 1 for Dumbarton which hit side nett ing. High light is Dumbarton left winger whose throw in is delap esque! :)
Hi all treble of real/roma/twente £10 stake for £60 return would it be wise to cover the twente game? Any thoughts appreciated
Sorry Honda hard posting as I’ve got a new phone so I post on anywhere I can! Never thought I’d say this but predict I’ve text is a God send tonight!
Haha no worries mate wasn’t having a pop just finding it amusing :)
Dumbarton game just disappeared off bet365
What sort. Of side have athletic o put out Paul?
Sparky, both sides were at full strength but easy for Real.
Own goals galore tonight!!!
I guarantee you cant spell guarantee!!!!!
raaljaca, he’s trying to jump on our bandwagon I see.
Nobody will be able to compete with us Mr F!!
Teams back out come on Dumbarton this is like hibs hearts Murray vs mcglynn only one winner :)
You predicting 5-1 to Livvy, Sparky ;)
Fear not everyone if livi score I will invade the park and seek an abandonment! :)

Sparky, that’s not good – get changed and get on.
Anyone know what’s going on with the Dumbarton game?
Dunbarton down to ten

Wouldn’t be advisable for me to come on after. A pie tea a d twix :)
Anyone wanting BTTS to score in Heerenveen can forget it.
We have a ref issue I may be required after all :)
Anyone on here a qualified official? Pmsl
Dumbarton red card !! Mr f !! Are you cursed at the minute big man. ?? I feel you’re pain !!
I kid u not someone from the livi end to the biggest roar of the night has offered to run the line! I fear were official ly doomed now!
twente game letting it down need a goal either way
I’m taking the opportunity during this break to look for the meter for the lights!:)
Just put the Swindon game on medical emergency involving a spectator. Game stopped at 92 mins players taken off pitch.
Gooaaaalll Twente!!
Hey the Dumbarton games not done and dusted yet!! Stranger things have happens than a team score a last minute winner with 10 men!
Oops it’s over now
mr f i got massive treble tomorro for you guys to look at on the darts theres alot of value there…
michael van gerwen to beat taylor 2.46 good record against taylor and taylor on the slide!!

I think the incident at the Peterborough game probably and hopefully makes us all realise sport is just that! A bet is just a bet! Life is for living and good luck to everyone who lives it x
Goal goal
Albeit early Cox has already had the ball in the net and was (in my opinion) wrongly ruled offside, don’t seem to be having much luck this week with the football!
Mushy a screamin er
Lol. Nishy a screamer that should of read
Understood, over Anne out :)
1-1
C’mon
Lol what a goal never done that at Easter road raalj
Nearly 2 1 sons! Come on
I don’t think you should gamble to be honest. You just do it to try make some quick money, I do it for the sport of it.
Honda we’ve discussed this before, but you’ve no right to tell people to stop gambling. People will decide their own destiny
Is fair enough cooldude, but a little advice never hurt no one…
Anne, goodbye and good riddance.
Evening folks,
Apart from the horsie heroics some quality football tipping today. Im looking at you Greg, your my go to guy for French tips now haha. Alex, your research into the more obscure leagues in Europe has won me more coin than I care to count and I always look for your tips so a bad day at the office is hardly the end of the world. Gets my utmost respect actually, as do the tipsters here who consistently find games I ordinarily wouldn’t look at to back.
Anne, we get it you lost. Move along, Mr F, treble can still land. Loving it, and coming up on my 1 year lurking anniversary, its about the long term, level stakes and positive heads.
Andrew
Andrew, red cards change games – Dumbarton were doomed when that happened. Anne’s a bloke by the way – usual keyboard coward.
To be honest Mr F, wasn’t watching it but its true in general as weve seen before. Just a point about these folks that think a game is over at half time or by the 60th minute.
Doesn’t surprise me its a fella. Ive been honestly shocked by some of the idiots we encounter here, just glad we get them off quickly.
Andrew
Sparky, must be the first time you’ve seen Nish score? Haha! :)
Mr F, Garry Fleming getting 2 yellows in a minute!! what a headcase
On the darts I read Taylor has new sponsor and therefore new darts .
Apparently a new diet too ;)
0-2 Twente 89mins :)
Over 1.5 Twente team goals 4/6 (NAP) WIN :)
Greg – Took this with Roma over 1.5 team goals and Lyon over 1.5 team goals…did you hear the roar across the border? :p
Managed to end up having a good day, once again it’s about minimising losses rather than maximising profits. Well done tonight Greg.
Also, just a thought, I know somebody mentioned it the other day but I wouldn’t mind seeing a football NAP competition or something similar once the site changes come into play. I’m all up for getting involved with it and I’m sure there are many regulars who would do it. After the success of the racing thread, I think it could be a good thing.
Seriously, seriously stop backing tips blindly and acting as if you were forced to put them on….
honda, just trolls. In fact the last one used johnb in his email address so the same people coming back. There was nothing wrong with the Dumbarton tip. They could have won but drew with 10 men. We move on.
Aye Mr F, I shouldn’t even entertain them really, apologies
Last kick of the game!! Mother wont be happy about that shout though…..
Well, i will take that 3-2 back to napule and so will rafa.
Mr F, dont listen to anyone and keep doing your singles. You had two wins out of two.
2 all :)
One game was a red card and the other everyone had something on that didnt happen
Mr F, didn’t see many people questioning Dumbarton when you posted it! In fact, very rarely do you ever see people questioning your SS before the match!
Greg, that’s true. While Dumbarton have drawn I also tipped wins tonight for Real Madrid and Roma as well as Forest (after teams were revealed) so some decent singles and tips there.
Although this is Mr F site if you dont like it …f off. Anyway there are loads of others who put up their thoughts. So even during a bad spell soneone else is having a better spell., or just do your own bets. Having a forum is great if used properly can become a pain in the arse , if certain people are let near the internet without an adult present.
well quite frankly Blair, I find you nothing but pig ignorant. several occasions I have tried to start civilized conversation with you, but just like Oor man you dont reply.I can think of others within their rights to shout people down.
Anyone on any Brazilian/South American games tonight?
2-2
Get out of jail with the DNB
If they hadn’t have gone down to ten I think they’d have won, Mr. F
Tonyboy, maybe but we’ll never know.
Haha I thought i heard a loud scream Alex – no worries mate, glad your night turned out alright! :) Been a pretty good week, as so often is the case when the cards are small!
Sticking to low odds low risk for this evening and staying away from the tight cup games, although I like Roma’s price.
The 3 Dutch games all look over 2.5 and they all average well in the stats, even the game down the bottom end, NEC v NAC looks good for goals but as Im playing safe I’ll go over 1.5 on the 3 of them. Treble pays 8/13, which is OK but I’m adding Lyon and Benfica who should both come through against lower league opposition. The five fold pays 5/2.
Happy days. Lads I’m thinking this might be the future, especially on quiter cards or between big games. Since Sunday night I’ve had 4 accas upin a row all at low odds, all containing over 1.5. I haven’t had four accas up in a row in about a year! Like I said a few times I’m now a believer that three odds on ‘bankers’ paying evens is more likely to come in than an even money single, which will always be a tough game. That for me delivers a punters secret weapon, VALUE. I.e. same odds but more likely to happen. Anyway, I will try it for a while longer, I used to have a selection criteria for over 1.5 before I moved onto Fixed odds and horses that I’ll go back to and I’ll post up my thoughts.
thanks for the tips anyway mr.f! put the 4 games on singles anyway so 0 lost. Keep posting
2-2 +13 min injury time!! What the heck happend?
Bondy, linesman was injured so a Livi fan took over on the line.
Ft. 2 all. Sons nearly won it at death. Can’t legislate for red card. No consolation but Dumbarton being cheered off
Sparky, Sons been cheered off doesn’t console me – but that’s football. Decent draw when you’re down to 10.
Cooldude, i replied. Check it out
apologies Oor man
IM SUPRISED THEY EVEN GOT THE DRAW.VALIANT EFFORT AFTER A RED.
When all said and done Mr F Raaljaca and others take the time and effort to research and offer tips so others may benefit.I certainly have but the final decision is always the punters.
can’t believe dumbarton downed my acca :(
whats the matter Blair? your gone very quite… was it something I said? the truth perhaps
If anybody is waiting on barca to win both halves you could cover by doing the second half result to be a draw at 8s. Not really worth it if its just a single but if you have it in an acca its maybe worth a tenner to guarantee profit in case it enss 2-1 or something. You could back sociedad to win the second half at 28s as well but thats highly unlikely now.
If anyone ever wonders what a good bet is I’ll tell u its obe where u can honestly say win or lose all things being equal you would so the same bet again tomorrow. And having watched that game tonight I’d have no hesitation in betting. Dumbarton again!
Interesting Sparky, are u a sons man yourself? Ian Murray’s done a good job there it must be said. Colin Nish and Mark Burchill warming up the benches tonight I see too, two players who never fulfilled their potential.
ryzo. I’m a huge hibs fan and big football punter and travel everywhere watching games hence the commentary from dumbarton rock tonight :)
Fantastic Sparky, I’m a season ticket holder for an Spl club myself but like to take in other games also. Definitely gives you an edge when punting, sometimes stats don’t reflect the true ability of a football team! What geographic location do you cover in going to games?
Ryzo. Absolutely spot on ill be getting lynched by the majority on the site here but you can stick your stats up your a”rse for me. Much prefer my own meat pies and looking for an edge that the average punter can’t see. As for geographical area I’ll go anywhere in Scotland bar Highlands or Stranraer unless I’m golfing of course! :) I’ll go to at least 3 games a week and yesterday I was even at motherwell u20s vs hibs u20s looking for the next leigh griffiths! :)
Sparky, maybe I’ll see you at a Clydebank game when there are midweek matches after the clocks change.
Interesting headlines this week regarding one of your now former players Mr.Fixit without naming names or going into specific details. Decent player too.
Ryzo, no problem naming the player (Adam Strachan). In my opinion the best player in the juniors, a real talent, beats men like they’re not there and great crosser and striker of a ball. Unfortunately he’s been in a lot of trouble off the park and it’s a real shame. He’s been brilliant since he rejoined us this season and will be big loss for Clydebank who have released him. Will be a great addition to the prison team though if he gets banged up!
U never know Paul! I did give u a honk on my way thru Clydebank tonight! For future reference always handy to know what’s the best takeaway in Clydebank? :)
Sparky, I’d go to the fish boat on the canal bang in the town centre. It’s pretty good and John McMonagle will aprpreciate the plug.
Ha ha cooldude could start an argument in an empty house. If I have ignored you before I am sorry petal.
sorry… what do you mean sorry?? Blair I dont work of apologies because I like to offend people myself, but I rather operate on a respect for respect basis, thats all.
Right, up at 5 so definitely off bed, quick glance at tomorrows card and the Zwolle game could be interesting! Night all and cheers for today :) Expect a good luck message before 1pm
Nice work Greg. That 89th minute goal saved my bacon!! Like the nap idea, something to work to. Was on Helsinki earlier, and they sank me!! Haha. Cheers for all the great tips though!!
I’m a great fan of this site and in particular Greg, The Dane and the Chief who produce fantastic tips consistently but I can totally understand people frustrations with the ‘main tips’ in particular the super single which I must say has lost its way majorly this year. I wasn’t on tonight’s single bet as Dumbarton was an out and out gamble in my opinion in the way that a 1 x or 2 wouldn’t really have surprised in a league where on their day anyone can beat anyone. As a Scotsman I’m well aware of how tight this league where as others in England and Europe might not be. I had Greenock Morton on the double chance away to Dundee last week at a fantastic price, but I’m aware of what’s happening at Morton and didn’t even look at the league table which would have put many punters off. Any bad run such as this one leads to a drop in confidence and this has resulted in the super single list going to a vote where no responsibility lands in the event of a loss, surely this contradicts the name of the site?. Hard lines with tonight’s treble although again it’s a sign of bad form and luck at present in selecting the only game in Hollands eredivise to not go BTTS. What i really find frustrating is the fact Mr.F has picked out Roma at Super Single criteria and even Madrid who were more than reasonably priced but went with an ambitious 13/10 in the lower leagues of Scotland. In times of bad form surely it’s safer to go with your European big guns to get you back in the game and the money?
Ryzo, Real Madrid and Roma were tipped for anyone who wanted them. I was confident about Dumbarton so I took them. There were no guarantees with any of them and in fact quite a few people predicted Real not to win. Anyone we go to a vote tomorrow – and I hope the collective force can do better.
Mr.F, the post wasn’t in anyway an insult towards you, just my opinion and I want to see you hitting these singles to shut people up who come on here being out of order. Yeah I seen several people backing Madrid not to win, but the bookies priced this match up accordingly in my opinion and Real Madrid looked as comfortable as I’ve seen them in months.
Wyorkie11, no worries fella! :)
The NAP was for you, haha!
Late night games
Trying a wee UHT style treble
Paulista A1
XV de Piracicaba vs Palmeiras
Palmeiras are the form side in the early stages of this league with 5 wins from 5. XV have a decent home record of 2 wins from 3 home games but the wins were against sides with 1 point away from home between them. They lost to the only decent side they’ve played thus far at home and Palmeiras are a step up again.
Palmeiras to win @ 1.95
Colombia Primera A
Independiente Santa Fe vs Patriotas Boyaca
Santa Fe have opened the Apertura in good form with 6 points out of 6 while Boyaca have only managed 1 point in their 2 games thus far and that came at home.
Obviously the league is in it’s early days but throw in the fact that Santa Fe are unbeaten in last 4 H-2-H and have won both the last home meetings then I reackon they’re worth a shout.
Santa Fe to win @ 2.05
and then to be honest I’m torn so I’m gonna do a MrF and let you make your own choice
New Zealand Premiership
Hawkes Bay United vs Wanderers
Wanderers are a poor side with just 5 points from 10 games while Hawkes are 5th but only 4 points off the lead. Hawkes last 3 games have seen 19 goals and Wanderers last 3 have seen 13 scored
Have to go high on the goal line but I’d look at either over 4 (void bet if 4 goals scored) @ 1.650 or over 4.5 @ 2.025
OR
Panama LPF
Tauro vs Alianza 2am
Tauro won the Apertura after topping the league at a canter and then winning the subsequent play-offs. They seem to have then switched off and have been crap so far in the Clausura. Alianza have gone in the opposite direction having finished near bottom of the Apertura and now top the Clausura.
I’d look at either over 2.5 ftg @ 2.67 (5 goals in 2 home games for Tauro, 6 goals in 2 away for Alianza) or the draw @ 3.10
Cheers Richard, just went for the first two at just under 3/1. So with your South American and DeAndres NBA tips I’ll hopefully be earning whilst I sleep!
Sh*t before I go, cheif, thanks for pointing out the forest game mate! That cox goal should of stood, I feel my slight unlucky streak messed up your bet :)
I am all for opinions and even criticism if it is constructive, but at least be fair and do it from a level playing field. If ppl feel the need to have a say about selections namely the SS then do so before the match as it is far too easy to say what should have been once we are in the knowledge of what has been.
Could someone be a legend if watching the Barcelona game and rewind on sky and see when second goal was scored? I had them to score 2nd goal before 60min and came up a lose bet??? I could swear it was 59:50 something???? My misses has changed channels so I can’t rewind now :(!!!
Graeme, they’ll be given the exact goal time by an outside agency – they won’t be taking it off the telly.
@Graeme – ’59’37” – GOAL for Barcelona scored by Zubikarai (own goal)’ <– c/p from Will Hill commentary. not sure if it helps.
This site is as much about warnings as winnings. I didnt fancy Roma on a -1 or 2- so said so as soon as someone mentioned it. You never know but its worth saying. So you might not win at times, but at least you can save. Ive done it a few times as lots of others have also done for my benefit.
Says 60 on fotmob app Graeme
Porto’s last 3 games thetly have now been behind, winning 1 3-2 in last minutes with 2 90 mins goals, losing to maritimo and drawing 1-1 with estoril with 20 mins left. There at home to bottom side Pacos Ferreira and they should win comfortably but can get 9/1 for Porto to win from behind at betvictor and could be worth a small stake as they’re obviously going through bad spell.
Ah right, well it does say 60mins everywhere I look?? That surely means it was scored on 59 something otherwise it would be 61mins???
Thoughts on tomorrow gents;
Of the Philippine matches the early kick off is hard to call as Kaya have been hit a blank the last two weeks, the second game though involving Global looks like it should give us some goals! Global have got over their early match jitters and have smashed in 12 goals in their last two matches! Will be on small stakes on the usual fhg and total goals!
Sivasspor host Bursaspor in the group section of the league cup! It’s a case of a very strong home team playing a poor away team! Over 1.5 Sivasspor goals is 11/10
The only bad thing about the last three ss loses is there was no opportunity to cover at any stage during the games. I know it’s been a bad run lately but got out of a lot of them with a small profit so minimised any loses…. Like everything else a bad run has to end at some stage and to be fair to Mr F some of the results have been horrible fcking luck. Keep the faith!
I do need it spelling out to me Greg!!!haha
Craig alves what a tip boom. Got evens at HT

Global v Paschanga KO 11.30am
Another two Philippine matchs tomorrow but this is the one that stands out for me! After a poor start Global have been rampant winning their last two 3-1 and 9-1, against opposition not much worse than Paschanaga! They’ve lifted themselves to 2nd top and have a good chance to extend their winning run to three with some goals added in!
Back over 1.5 First half goals
Over 3.5 match goals
Sivasspor host Bursaspor in the group section of the league cup! It’s a case of a very strong home team playing a poor away team! Over 1.5 Sivasspor goals is 11/10
Skinny card the Mora so I m including a copa lib game that looks a great shout for goals. Remember if I reckon it will go over 2.5 I am backing over 1.5, the same way that if you think a team will only win by a single goal you wouldn’t risk it on a -1! So for tonight/tomorrows early games these look good:
Atletico PR vs Sporting Cristal
Over/Under Total Goals 1.5 – Over 1.5 Goals
Open
Istra vs Dinamo Zagreb
Over/Under Total Goals 1.5 – Over 1.5 Goals
Open
Panaitolikos vs Aris
Over/Under Total Goals 1.5 – Over 1.5 Goals
Pays 5/2 on betfair sports
Blair the 9/1 was for the wknd game at home to Pacos nit tonight, will be putting single on it and put it in lonshot acca just incase it happens again on Friday tho. Rangers Dunfermline live on BBC1 Friday night too
JAY,
Just off the phone to them so its sorted now they were too quick to settle it they said so its a winner, and for my troubles have gave me a £25 free bet ha!!
Morale here is…don’t bet on barca to score by a certain minute as they dont need to! phewwww!!
SS tomoz will be hard going!!
What a surprise ?? Mr F ( the guy who provides this fantastic platform for us all !!) gets grief yet again for coming within a whisker of giving a s/s and top treb !! I’ll bite my tongue and simply say that I backed both and I’d have liked to collect !! Although I will also say that I’m thankfull for the tips!! Give the guy a break FFS !!
Well said mate!
this is a great site .mr f and many others work hard to give us valuable information .it saddens me that people critisize whens teams or horses dont win .no one twists your arm to bet , thats yourown choice.take the rough with the smooth .the info here for all sports is class use it to gain an edge.just dont moan if things dont always work out .keep up the good work mr f and thx
Holy shit cool dude you have way too much time on your hands :-) lol
Will post a full write-up for tomorrow when the new page is up, but let’s just say it’s all Greek to me…
We are all in it for the long haul, luck has not helped these last few weeks, red card tonight, 3-1 wind being clawed back last 2 says, jeez I sound like David moyes but anyone who has been following for a long time knows the fantastic tips provided and the corner can be turned any day. So many fantastic tipsters and great banter, one or 2 looking for quick buck which gambling is not about. Look forward to the healthy debate over sat super single quite a few with chances and with the golf thread posted and some of the horse tipsters in great form let’s keep enjoying this site and the happiness/drama/lessons (remember Uruguay) that we all learn
Theres more Paul O
cooldude, it’s too much – keep it for the forum if that starts up soon.
Apologies Mr F. Im just letting people know how racing industry operates.
JOHN, admin have told me they’ve emailed you about this. I’ll say it again – they deal with all the prizes except McBookie.
JOHN OWEN, to be honest with talk like that they might not even give you the free bet.
i tried out betfred‘s new 30 minute limit coupon after seeing it tipped on facebook
used their 4 tips, removed one and added 4 of my own, stuck a fiver on and got a 50/1 return
basically either team has to score within the first 30 mins
i looked at games that i thought would be high scoring, and a likelihood of BTTS too and stuck them on, one game kept me waiting until the 27th minute
i chose these games
cambuur
go ahead eagles
nac
olimpiakos
peterboro
lyons
real madrid
obviously it means you can lose your money in 30 mins instead of 90, but i seem to have been doing that quite a lot recently anyway!!
posh let me down in 7 fold too, 2-0 up, v ten men and still drew
btw hope the fan taken ill towards the end of that game makes a full recovery

Bixie, it’s a decent market if you can pick them.
Braga 10/11 to win extra time. Seems massive value. Currently 29 hots to 2 after 90mins against aves
