WE don't have to worry too much about the weather today after wrecked a lot of plans yesterday.
My Euro treble has to start with Atletico Madrid against Levante as they try to close the gap on leaders Barcelona to eight points and make it 11 home wins on the bounce.
Atletico are 3-10 at Betway and it's difficult to ignore the lure of Falcao who did loads of us a turn with the opener in the Spanish Cup last week. However, the Colombian is just 7-4 at Betway.
PSG let us down badly last week when they were held by Ajaccio but they should bounce back with a victory at Bordeaux – and I know it's the late game.
Nothing but a title will suffice for the big-spending owners and PSG will return to the top at the expense of Lyon if they win.
The capital club, a joint industry best 11-10 at Betway, have been better on their travels than at home, winning 3-0 at Brest and 4-0 at Valenciennes. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the man everyone likes for first scorer and he is 11-4 at Betway.
Complete the treble in the Bundesliga with Fortuna Dusseldorf at home to Augsburg. I'm banking on Fortuna continuing where they left off before the winter break when they beat Hamburg, Eintracht and Hannover.
The results moved them 12 points clear of bottom dogs Greuther Furth and Augsburg and Fortuna will know what a big three points are at stake today.
Augsburg are without a win in 10 games – have just one win in 20 away from home – and I'm willing to risk a small fortune on Fortuna at 13-10.
For the Super Single I like the look of Valencia on home soil against Real Madrid. The sides met in the cup last week with Real winning 2-0 but at the Mestella it's always an examination for the visitors with Valencia winning seven of their last eight there.
This is a game I've tipped for both to score and while Cristiano Ronaldo will be backed by many I like the look of Roberto Soldado at 7-5 to score. Ronaldo is just 13-20 or 11-4 to score first.
Valencia are 11-4 at Betway.com but I'm looking at Valencia draw no bet at 7-4.

Also worth a mention that inter are missing quite a few today including cassano Samuel sneijder milito coutinho Alvarez stankovic

Billy, my call was a draw but after the SPL yesterday I left it. It looks like some sides are coming back more refreshed than others such as Ross County and Celtic. Might take a couple of weeks for the form to settle down.

treble i am on today. Playing the inplay markets on the football… started with backing Chelsea @1/1 and Man Utd @7/5, i’ll see how the games go to what i am going to do.
Just having alook at the rangers game might lay them now @101, and hope peterhead can get at least the draw.
Got the chelsea goal i wanted !
Roma inter got no gl scorer writen all over it, hope am wrong but 9/1 is tempting
Craig, no scorer at Roma would be a huge surprise but 9-1 is OK. The longer it goes you can maybe trade off a bit on goals inrunning.
£1 lucky 15 for me today on first goalscorers as i havent picked a btts line or teams to win line for ages.

I’ve had PSG & Man Utd as singles along with your BTTS, also got abit of shrapnel on Lampard,RVP & Falcao 1st scorer treble.
You fancy Lille later Mr Fixit?
ClaretNBlue, Lille were a side I looked at, should win.
come on arsenal,got £10 scorecast on mata and 2-2,sweating here.
James, at least you’re getting run for your money. My only returns on the game are btts and Walcott to score.
thought i was going to get it up there in injury time,to make it worse was close to doing 2-1 mata, 50-1 as well.oh well its over to white hart lane,ive got £10 scorecast on bale and 2-2.
James, thought you had a chance there. When you’re doing scorecasts you only need one out of 50 or so to break even.
it is hard to get 1 up but ive had a few good ones up,best one i got is when pedro scored first and barca beat man utd 3-1,usually do the score and scorer as singles as well.
Thank god the United game still goes ahead :)
Took your Dusseldorf tip and had a single with Lille too..
What has happened to the dane? not seen him post for awhile
ClaretNBlue, he had a bad day last Saturday but would have recouped his losses on Sunday if he’d followed me. I think he’ll be in and out depending on how his pot is shaping up.
Got two bets on

Jeez Falcao 13/8 fgs again…Christ :-(…think I’ll got for his buddy Costa with RVP and Soldado e/w treble
Guido, bookies giving nothing away on the likes of Falcao, Messi and Ronaldo but you’ll be gutted if Falcao scores first and you don’t back him.
Aye Paul, widna be happy if he does…but bugger it…gonna give him a miss this time

Going to miss the first half, off out sledging now with my son, had a nice 10cm of snow here and it’s still coming down, don’t look like i’ll be at work tomorrow for the schools all might be shut, so will have to stay at home and amuse a 4 year old for the day !
Milesey, still no snow here but might be coming tonight. Heading to the Record soon for a mad Sunday shift so let’s hope some of my later selections come good.
Milesey, before I sign off for a bit, we’re launching that tipster challenge tomorrow, £600 of Ladbrokes betting vouchers up for grabs plus first prize of hospitality day at the races. We want 16 people to play and myself and admin have decided to fill 12 spots at random and give four to the people who’d posted most comments in the last year or so. Chris Guy, yourself, Danny and Craig Alves are the top four. Let me know if you want to play. There will be a last-16 draw and full details of the contest and how to enter will be posted tomorrow. If Chris, Danny or Craig are reading this let us know if you want a place. Should be good fun with prizes on offer right through.
Yes count me in, is it going to be an open competition on here ? or is it going to be email entries, then you will do a blog on it to sum it all up ? if it’s open everyone could just copy the same thing as the other !
Milesey, all will be revealed soon.
How you picking the others ?
the first ones to get emails in when you put something up on here get the places ?
It can’t be an open game surely, everyone will just follow others hahaha
Milesey, it will be a head-to-head knockout so only two punters playing at one time. You’ll see soon but the 12 will be picked at random from all entries received
hello paul when do the other spots for the comp get decided,would love a go at this cheers.
James, there will be an entry post put up tomorrow. Comment to enter and we’ll pick contestants at the end of the week.
Paul I would love to enter the competition after missing out on the euro 2012 one but I wonder if it would be more appropriate to offer my place to someone else. say I was too win one of the very generous prizes up for grabs would it not be a bit selfish on my part taking a chance away from a punter that could actualy claim them whats your opinion
If you win Danny you get exclusive flight over here for your day at the races. It’s a one way ticket only, so you have to find your own way home hahaha
lol Milesey I shall never set foot in United Kingdom again
Danny, if you win you give the vouchers to anyone you know in Scotland who can spend for you or themselves. It will be shop betting vouchers you get so let me know.
Seeking some betting advice.done a small treble today 2 of my selections already won the 3rd selection is dussledorf-1 . What is the best way to cover myself rather than just let it ride.
Jackiew, one way is to back Dusseldorf to win but that doesn’t cover you for draw or Augsburg. You might be best to se how game goes and try to cover it inrunning.
Am in paul :) look forward to the details and the challeng haha, wee day at the races would be ideal.
Fiver on RVP at 5/1 enhanced fi 7/2 at Ladbrokes and got few 40p scorecast 3-0 4-0 4-1 5-1, smallest paying 40/1 and biggest 150/1, happy wi £30 bak.
Also got £2 btts chelsea arsrnal, rvp/man u, ronaldo/real & over 2.5 gls in athletico levante.
Not doin over 1.5 gls again, rangers out of all teams let ma line down at yhe first attempt haha
Craig, OK we’ll mark you down. Full details up tomorrow.
RVP!!!!
The tipster challenge sounds good. Hopefully a few of us that missed out on the Euro one will get a look in. Good luck to the 4 already in!
Luke, the 12 will be drawn at random so it’s just your luck.
What sites do you guys use for team news/match stats etc?
ClaretNBlue, Soccerway, sportinglife, BBC, Sky etc.
Atletico Madrid 2/9 – All i can say for this is FALCAO.
Valencia v Real Madrid, Both teams to score 1/2 – Valencia on good form and score goals, Real Madrid not been as good lately but can see them winning this one but also conceding.
Mali to win 1/2 – Mali good team at home, Niger very poor away
Roma to win 4/5 – Roma good at home, Inter milan poor away and missing players.
Stake:£10.00
Returns:£49.41
Please bet on this, some easy money and worth it
No no no no noooo American **** just cost me £400 in the last minute, that’s beyond painful
I couldn’t believe it, i could have layed utd in the 89th minute, or traded my bet for them to win, but was so confident they would win, it’s normally them who grab the late goals !
Ouch burst few coupons that goal mine included. :(
just cant help but ponder, does all the big guns in turkish football have to loose one after the other ? and why will dempsey have to nick a late leveler ? what a day yisssshhh!
Craig, Mali aren’t at home. It’s the African cup of nations. Neutral ground. Would still expect them to win though. Also, where do you place your bets? Those odds are awful
only just realised neutral venue, BET365 odds arnt too good but they are winners.
Can you do a Lucky 15 on anytime scorers?
You can do a lucky 15 on anything you want.
John, as Milesey’s said it’s just a perm covering singles, doubles, trebles and a fourfold so you can do it on any bet with four selections.
am in for the tipsters comp , way to go
Flyboivince, when you see the post send in your entry.
Can you explain Lucky 15’s a bit more, not got much idea how they work?
A Lucky 15 consists of 15 bets involving 4 selections in different events. The bet includes 4 singles, 6 doubles, 4 trebles, and 1 fourfold. If only one selection wins, as a consolation returns are paid to double the odds. If all four selections win, a bonus of 10% is added to total returns. For the bonus to apply, all selections must win (none void or non-runners). For each-way bets the consolation is paid only on the win part of the bet. Lucky 15 bets are accepted on horse racing and greyhounds only. Also Lucky 31 and Lucky 63 exist.
What is a Lucky 15 bet?
Well this is a type of a Full Coverage bet because it covers all possible combinations of multiple bets from four selections. There are different types of multiple bets, all with different names, but the Lucky 15 option is a very popular one, particularly in horse racing. There are two different types of Full Cover Bets, ones which do not include singles and ones which do. A Lucky 15 does include all Four single bets as well. So what exactly are you taking a punt on with a Lucky 15? Well, you are making fifteen separate bets within a Lucky 15 bet, hence the name! Firstly because this is built from four separate selections, you have 4 Single Bets. Along with that, from those four selections you can also make a combination of 6 Double Bets. To finish out, there are a combination of 4 Treble Bets and one Fourfold Accumulator as well, adding up to fifteen bets in total.
So with a Lucky 15 you are spreading your betting net far and wide for just four selections, and naturally the pay off is a big reward if all four of your selections win. But the appeal of the Lucky 15 Full Coverage bet is that you can still make good profit if not all of your selections win, and this is down to the coverage of the multiple options. The first thing to remember if you are tempted by a Lucky 15 bet, is that because you are essentially making fifteen separate bets, then you are going to be placing a stake of fifteen times of your unit stake.
That’s rubbish for they aren’t only for horse racing and the dogs, they are more popular on them 2, but a lucky 15 can be used for anything.
I think the odds bonus is only for the horses and dogs and you don’t get the bonus when you place a lucky 15 on the football.
Milesey.
What is a Lucky 15 Bet?
Here we have basic information about what a lucky 15 bet actually is, as one of the most popular bets placed every day of the week in bookies shops across the UK and Europe the lucky 15 offers a low cost bet that gives you big rewards should you pick 4 winning selections.
How to place a Lucky 15 Bet
Lucky 15’s are most common for people betting on horse races or greyhounds. They are also a popular choice for football bets but can of course be used for any bets at all!!
To place a bet you pick 4 selections and enter them in the columns, online just pick 4 and choose the lucky15 bet option. The cost will be your stake x 15 so a £1 lucky will cost you £15 a 50p one = £7.50 and so on.
To win you need to make sure your 4 selections are your best bets of the day, the odds don’t matter too much as the winnings soon mount up. The 15 bets placed are 4 x singles, 6 x doubles, 4 x trebles and 1 x accumulator (four fold) check out our how to work out a lucky 15 bet section for more details on this.
What Can You Use a Lucky 15 Bet For?
Most people tend to use lucky 15′s for horses with greyhounds being the second most popular of races to be used. You can however use a lucky 15 betting slip for anything you can bet on!
Not a lot of people know or even think about using a lucky 15 for other bets such as football, which is a really good one in our opinion, rugby, golf or even big brother. If you can bet on it you can add it to your lucky 15!
Shame you can’t get the bonus if you do a Lucky 15 on the football, that would be pretty decent
You don’t get double the odds bonus for that is purely on the horses / dogs, but that is if only one out of 4 of your selections come in……. the other bonuses in the lucky 15 are exactly the same for anything.
£1 1st gl treble adrian ibra ronaldo for £81, only took adrian fo value at 6/1 cos falcao was 9/5 wi Ladbrokes
£1 double ht draw ft psg/ht draw ft Madrid £22 50
£1.40 Madrid PSG and athletico anytime score 2-1
I’m beginning to hate footy betting. 92nd minute goal costs me 502 yesterday. And just now 96th minute goal costs me 49quid. Also had 5 on 6fold in tennis. 5 won, with almagro my 6th selection. His opponent quit just before going 2-0 down in sets. So i missed out on extra 43quid. My luck is dire!!!
Real Madrid 1 up, and it’s not Ronaldo
Roma 1 up on Inter.
Luke. There is always 1.
am counting on a psg winner
yes, Inter goal just before h/t 1-1.
Real Madrid 2-0 up, and still not RONNY !
3 nil now and RONNY has scored !
4 Nil Real Madrid now, and not even h/t yet !
Good old W*nking RONNY with another goal !
Love him or hate him…..
Personally I hate him, but he’s banging them in again tonight, 3 goals or more for Ronaldo must be the bet to be on tonight !
REAL MADRID 5 Valencia 0 H/T
anyone fancy a Valencia comeback ?
PSG 1 up, Ibrahimovic with the 1st Goal !
Made a fortune on Madrid game! One more for ronaldo and I’ll be laughing!
I need Inter to get it together and i’ll be laughing with you !

INTER 12/5
REAL MADRID 1/1

Does anyone think everton are worth lumping on the morra shampton are gonna regret sacking manager I think but not sure about the morra ?
Craig, I’ll be on Everton. Don’t think there will be a pleasant atmosphere for Southampton tomorrow with players and fans not happy with Adkins’ sacking.
milesey u did an inter win ?
Inter, PSG, Real Madrid , treble, so yes need all to win.
Not going to happen by the looks of things.
still, roma 1-1 inter
If the luck of the draw for comp is anything like my luck in footy bets, then don’t even bother putting my name in the hat! Haha…Madrid are a funny team. Never saw this result coming
Luke, just thought they steamrolled Valencia at the start and their defence was torn to shreds. Fourth was a perfect example as they lost the goal straight from kick-off.
Anyone fancy Robertson to come back in the snooker 10/1
Milesey, it’s a long way back from 8-4. Not watching so I can’t comment on how he’s playing.
i’m on the 10/1 haha, its 8-5 now !
Milesey, are u watching? Is Selby tiring after last night’s exploits?
Not really, he has had a couple of heavy contacts thats put Robertson back in, playing safety on the yellow at the moment, selby 50-45 Robertson
Robertson has just banged in yellow and green 54-50 in front ! Safety on the brown now.
Robertson takes it…… Selby 8 – 6 Robertson
MIlesey, getting interesting now. If he wins the next Selby might collapse.
Selby 9 Robertson 6
That’s it game over selby 10 Robertson 6.
Day of work tomorrow to look after my son, all the schools are shut round here due to the weather, Didn’t fancy work anyway with no horse racing on, be bored alday.
Gonna play a few double up poker games now.
MIlesey, thought it was a long shot but never mind.
Was only alittle punt anyway, if it came in i’d be gutted i didn’t get on it ! Only money i would have done on the horses anyway. Not sure when there is going to be some decent horse racing, i hope the cheltenham meeting saturday goes ahead, looking forward to this meeting !
Pretty miserable day in all, just waiting on PSG to get abit back.. Gonna take Everton tomorrow for sure and thinking about Real Betis.
well today way a bit of lil smiles , zlatan the slayer , waiting on 49ers and patriots to win by margins
Well a good end to the w/e. £20 on Ath.Mad. to win to nil @11/10. Then i doubled Real/PSG to win @ 4.5/1. had £5 on that. Away to have a night cap.
Alva, I was on PSG and Ibra too. Another 1-0 in the late French game so should have backed that too. Falcao taken off injured in Atletico game so need to keep an eye on that one.
heavy invesment on Motherwell Mr f how much a sweat was that. Canny believe they almost threw away a 3 nil lead.
Anyhow would you lump on Everton tomorrow?
Billy, apparently Well keeper made a great save to keep it at 3-2 as well. I’m going on Everton but that’s no certainty.
Paul good shout on Roma. Valladolid did well. Still walked away with £900 tonight. Also meant to say I had 50 on Fulham to draw in injury timeat Blackpool the other night paid £2050 with tweet the line.
Sorry will tweet the line
Steven, email [email protected] if you want to enter line of the week.
Just checked scores after watchin film and got 4/5 draws in serie a – palermo, fiorentina, roma, chievo up but juve gubbed udinese 4-0 50p was payin 268 a think
2/3 1st gl scorer 80/1 shot tae wi ronaldo letting me down after doin all the hard work for reals first was reading.
On to everton on the handicaps the mora a think
You been watching Bourne on ITV hahaha
It’s all about Green Street on itv4 tonight.
No mate, flight wi denzel in it, good film lke worth the watch. Had it on ma phone but hooked up to tv so culdnt check scores haha
yeah i’ve seen it, when he is pissed and crashes the plane, turns it upside down etc…. i only watched it the other day and can only remember rhe beggining for there are boob$ in it, then all on the plane, the crash, then he goes back to his farm….
The amount of times i watch this Green Street and i still can’t get over Frodo Baggins being a West Ham hooligan !
Milesey, Craig, tipster contest is launched, see what you think.
so in the first week all 16 players will play ? or is it 2 one week, 2 the next week, and so on ?
or is it say, 1 st week 16 players as in this format
? v ?
? v ?
? v ?
? v ?
? v ?
? v ?
? v ?
? v ?
then 2nd round 8 players….. so they all play over the same period ?
and what kind of period will that be ? saturday 00.01 – friday 23.59 ? is it only football betting or any market from ladbrokes website ?
and where are these going to be posted ? are they going to be emailed, or totally open on here ? for open gives the other person an oppurtunity to see what the others doing and place bets accordingly.
so you get £1000 to bet on the football market, over a period of time to be specified, minimum bet is £50 – £1000 to start with, but you can bet your max when you have made winnings ?
………….. and where’s the day at the races ? not Yarmouth racing is it ? LOL hahaha, a nice day at cheltenham for the gold cup would be nice !
MIlesey, hopefully the day out will be at Cheltenham, that’s what they were hoping, but no guarantees at the moment.
no chance, if your playing single ties every week, cheltenham would have been and gone by the time this competition ends !
Milesey, it could be a different Cheltenham meeting.
no worries, i’ll wait till i read through the rules and regs, and then i’ll go from there, maybe a good idea to have a q&a session on here before it starts so everyones is clear on how to play etc….. you should give a time nearer the start date that you will be available on here to answer questions say from 7pm – 8pm and everyone can ask away and things might be abit clearer then ! don’t want to have bets void just cause i have put something in a double what someone else has in 2 singles and told i can’t have that !
Milesey, I’ll answer the three questions: 1. It’s a football contest only, any market offered by Ladbrokes. 2. You can be your full stake, including winnings accrued. 3. Bets will be posted on the site so everyone cane see what’s going on but as I said you can’t simply copy a bet. If you do the bet will be voided.
and it can be any format ? be it a lucky 15, double, treble etc…. but must cover the period your playing in ?
you need to clarify alot of things here, so for instance, i am playing Danny, he has everton as a single to win, can i still have everton in a double to win ?
Milesey, I’d hold off the questions for the moment. All 16 will be sent the rules and I’ll take questions then. The only thing you can’t do is copy a bet so if someone did Everton you can do Everton and Benfica for example.
