IT was a day of mixed results but I was happy to land my 10-1 Betway enhanced top treble and the Five to Follow treble at 6-1.
Yesterday I was strong about Motherwell's chances and although they won it was a bit of a sweat against managerless Hearts.
I'm backing against another side who have parted company with their gaffer recently in Dundee. The Dens men, staring at relegation, have brought in club legend John Brown as interim boss and he faces a tough task today at home to Dundee United in the William Hill Scottish Cup.
There's no way Dee can avoid finishing bottom so this is their cup final and although Brown will extract fight from his players – as he did in the midweek draw against St Johnstone – I believe United have too much quality as well as a real desire to pick up a trophy under new boss Jackie McNamara.
The last three meetings of the sides have finished 3-0 to United and although it's unlikely to be as easy I'm on the away win at 5-6 with Ladbrokes.
Dundee Utd have a doubt over leading hitman Johnny Russell so first scorer have a look at skipper Jon Daly who is 11-2 at Ladbrokes.
Brown will have his men fired up and it could be a red-hot derby so consider a red card at
12-5 with Ladbrokes.
The other Scottish Cup tie between Killie and Hibs looks a draw as it was when they met last Wednesday. It was 2-2 then so consider over 3.5 goals at 14-5 with bet365.
I've also tipped goals at Spurs v Arsenal and over 3.5 pays 7-4 at BetVictor. Jermain Defoe is back to support goal machine Gareth Bale but after profiting so much on the Welshman recently I can't ignore him at 11-8 to Stan James – and is actually shorter than Defoe.
So Dundee United start my treble and I'm adding Siena at home to Atalanta. Siena have hit three goals in their last two home wins against Lazio and Inter so should boost their hopes of beating the drop with three points. They are 13-10 with William Hill and BetVictor.
Complete the treble with Sampdoria against a Parma side crashing down the table after four defeats in five. Samp on the other hand have won their last three at home, scoring 11 goals, and have conceded just once in five.
Mauri Icardi has netted eight in nine games and is 13-2 at bet365 to score first. Samp are
11-8 at William Hill and BetVictor.
Icardi's on my anytime scorers Yankee with Falcao as Atletico Madrid visit Malaga. It's a big game for both sides but Atletico will be in buoyant mood after sealing a Copa de Rey final against Real Madrid and the return of their Colombian has raised their level again.
Malaga are chasing a Champions League place and of course are still in the tournament but I'm willing to risk Atletico at 13-8 as my Super Single – just ahead of Cagliari – with Coral and William Hill while Falcao is 9-2 at Stan James to score first.

In the Spanish Segunda Division 11 of Cordoba’s 14 home games this season have produced Under 2.5 Goals and so have 11/14 Villarreal away matches.
Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.72 in Cordoba v Villarreal
—————————————
Betfair now gives you the facility to mix and match your multiples across a huge range of sports and markets with the easy-to-use betslip.
Bet 1: Back Tottenham to draw with Arsenal at 3.4
This latest renewal of hostilities between these two old rivals could be a defining match, not just for this season, but for the balance of power in North London. Tottenham haven’t finished higher in the league than Arsenal since 1994/95, but a victory on Sunday would leave the Gunners trailing by seven points.
Arsenal’s season is handing by the slenderest thread. Out of the FA Cup, and almost certain to be dumped out of the Champions League later this month, their run of five league games unbeaten is small consolation for another trophy-free campaign.
In their last six meetings, these teams have produced 33 goals, and Arsenal haven’t kept a clean sheet in thirteen matches. We can expect another high-scoring encounter, but it may prove hard to separate these bitter foes. Spurs haven’t lost to their nearest neighbours at White Hart Lane since 2007 and Arsenal will be desperate to get something out of this game. A draw is the sensible play.
Bet 2: Back Pakistan to beat South Africa at 2.3
After Friday’s wash out, the Twenty20 series will be decided in Centurion on Sunday.
The home side are favourites after their 3-0 Test series victory, but I think the visitors can cause an upset. They were no match for South Africa in the five day game, but twenty overs is their speciality. A win rate of 59% in this format is about the best around, and they’ve reached the last four of every Twenty20 World Cup.
Pakistan have a full strength twenty over side, having recalled Shahid Afridi, Umar Akmal and Kamran Akmal, and will be looking to restore some pride. South Africa are likely to field a much weakened side, missing Dale Steyn, Hashim Amla, Morne Morkel, Jacques Kallis, and the injured JP Duminy, and Pakistan should be able to beat an inexperienced home line-up.
Bet 3: Back New York Islanders to beat Ottawa Senators at 1.68
New York Islanders may be bottom of the Atlantic Division but are an improving team, blessed with plenty of young attacking talent, and have pulled off some great results already in this truncated NHL season. They took Toronto Maple Leafs to overtime on Friday and have had a day off to prepare for the visit of Ottawa.
The Senators have an extensive injury list, but are battling hard to stay in contention in the North East Division. They lost in Boston on Friday, then went down 2-1 in Philadelphia on Saturday in a particularly hard-fought game.
On paper, they are the better team, but this third game in three days of their East Coast tour may just catch up with them. Back the Islanders to upset the visitors.
Total Odds for this multiple: 13.14

Everyone on Dundee Utd hope they dont blow the coupons the day. Wee sending off double today Dundee v Dundee Utd and Tottenham v Arsenal must have a chance book him book him send him off :).
Badham I’m in the same boat, Watford let me down for quite a bit, lost quite a lot saturday regular kick off games then had a 4 fold of Leverkusan, Milan, Liverpool and Valencia to at least finish with some profit. Was just about to text my mate saying it was all good when they conceded too…
If I don’t get a win today I’m done for the month already (I hate betting on a cold streak and give up for the month when it hits).
Got Mr. F’s treble and Bale 1st goal and Giroud 1st goal on betfred’s double delight
Weordie best of luck today mate… Losing a bets one thing but no matter how much u say u don’t you do think its won ha. I love the Betfred dd/hh had Suarez yesterday aswell another kick in the teeth …
Added Bayern and Lyon to your treble Mr F, Lyon should be well up for it after Psg result yesterday.
Cheers Badham, best of luck to you too. That’s savage about Suarez

Small Stakes on treble at odds of 9.72 William Hill
Damn you Siena, not the start we were looking for
Anyone have any doubts over Bayern Munich covering the -1 handicap vs Hoffenheim?
I’ve just seen Bayern’s starting 11 and it’s not their strongest. Mandzukic, Kroos, and Nuer are all on the bench, while Robben has been left out all together. Mario Gomez starts up front though.
Dean, if you’re backing Bayern it’s the only way to go. But loads of top sides have one eye on the Champions League so can’t say for sure.
Anyone got any info on Cuba U20s tonight at 9? Some guys on twitter earlier said they’d been in good form and a decent price around Evs at home.
Jack, u been on the cigars again? Don’t know about Cuban U-20s but the pack of 20s are pretty decent.
how the lyon never won that I don’t know, gomis missing a sitter qi the last kick of the game :( onto the spanish treble now espanyol sociedad and seville the mora
I tell you what Fixit, Bayern are playing like theyve got one eye on the champions league. Havent looked dangerous whatsoever and theyve been very sloppy with possession; miss placed passing, poor long balls, no accuracy, no real intent .
Good 1-0 Bayern
1-0 bayern. Gomez
Looks like Siena could ruin the treble for you.
Siena totally done me over today, down 2-0 now
The Treble is ruined by Sienna!
ladbrokes got bale enhanced to 7/1
Craig, 7-1’s a good offer especially with Defoe not starting.
Cant find the 7/1 for Bale on Ladbrokes
yaaas Udinese at 11/10 was a great bet. also had Inter, was a bag of nerves when I seen them 2-0 down. NEXT Spurs Arsenal game btts then Rio Ave game in Portugal btts for £163. Could be a Super Sunday :-)
paul, what you think bout roma- atletico double?
That’s it, my account has been wiped out. Won’t be putting on another bet again for some time. Bayern not beating the handicap was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I’ve found this site to be very useful and informative but I won’t be around now
Cheerio
Dean
What odds would you have got for the four scottish cup games to finish 1-2?
I did three of your four to score Mr Fix and only Daly has failed so far. I took Carzola instead of Falcao so in with the chance of a treble if Arsenal can find the net and they still have plenty of time.
Lord Clegg, good luck with that.
sorry colin, just back on, it was on twitter wi mobile and computer links for it. sure they would’ve had it on site as it’s the ‘#voteforvalue’ where people vote for selection tae get enhanced and bale 1st was most popular. lif it’s any consolation never had it on myself as skint but was just flagging it up
Craig could only find it as 4/1. Didnt have it on either but would have at 7/1. Next time
Well, that’s it for me folks.
I’ve basically been betting recently to get rid of some mounting debts (not the wisest strategy, I know).
That Arsenal goal has just brought a massive win up for me today. I did a very big lump on Bayern and over 2.5 in the Spurs game (didn’t post as I didn’t want to jinx it!), after building up a pot to play with through the week.
Just wanted to say thank you for all your tips (kudos to Guido for last nights!) and cheers to Mr F for running a really useful site!
So good luck to you all in the rest of your betting adventures.
I’m ducking out and taking my weekends back!
TTFN! :D
Fair play to ya Don…enjoy the winnings ;-)
Never had anything on today. Unbelievable with Bale again.
Cheers Guido! I think that Mexican one came in, in the end, but I couldn’t resist the Scottish connection! :)
Aye Club America won as well Don..widda bee a nice double in the end :-)
Guido, dude! how are you? whats the nightly tips? im thinking on lumping on AM then cashing out, i know i am a, that word that could be used in cockney slang with fussy :D
Alrite Dave? Didn’t fancy the AM match…doing a wee yankee Roma, Sociedad, Godoy and San L/River Plate draw and looking at Lanus single later with the winnings :-) :-)
yah did right Guido, i checked out the stats and it looked like a non bts mind so i didnt take it either. I was waiting for roma and benfica games to remain 0-0 for a bit then id take them but didnt happen. Only got Lanus for later left now i think!
Cracking day of singles
Dundee Utd over 1.5 goals
Spurs Arsenal over 2.5 goals
Beskitas Fernebache over 2.5 goals

Over 3.5 bookings Killie Hibs
Waiting for over 2.5 goals in the Roma game for 5 team line!
Need to make the most of these weekends, will probably be back to hard luck stories next week! :)
good sensible bettin therr Greig, seen yer post earlier about Stirlin Albion and yep the shop 5/2 against a team who had not won in 11 games and had seven players out injured was good
Waiting on FC Copenhagen for my 4-fold

Over 2.5 goals in the 4 Eesrste Division games tomorrow night pays 4/1
Over 3.5 goals in all pays 24/1
10p Lucky 15 on 7+ goals in each game, 3 x 18/1, 1 x 20/1
Thanks Robert – Paul started talking about them a few weeks ago! There are on a really good run and like you said, Elgin have been awful recently! Soccerway is great for looking at form, goals tables!
Greg, Stirling were one of my four aways at the weekend. Have added experience, with Ross Forsyth for example.
The one game in europe today malaga v atl madrid for btts has just let me down for over 1600 quid! Bollocks! Always one!
Alex, was there a way you could have hedged it or was it not your last game?
just done a 20 pound acca on 8 games at the station this morning! would have been waitin for real soceidad v betis and that was 3-3 the last time i looked.
Alex, OK slightly harder then.
Gotta be kidding me, Godoy just missed a pen AND argentinos are down to 9 men, gonna finish 0-0
Yeah remember you saying that, cracking price at the weekend! Don’t often do teams to win but always nice when to get an away treble up!
Weordie, sometimes its written in the stars…f&&& all we can do about it, that’s the annoying part :-(
It was certainly written somewhere if ya get my drift… dodgy south american football ;-)
Weordie..nah, clean as anything ;-) ..think dodgy stuff cloder to home…just north of London maybe..Watford ;-)
Guido, are Lanus worth a punt tonight? 2-1 in play and 0-0?
My Quest took another body blow on Saturday with Feckin Port Vale not able to even get a draw away and to add insult to injury i picked Port Vale lol thx again to all that gave me there thoughts.
PS i know Man City have still to play but i would have backed Aston Villa or the draw if i was waiting for Man City at least i would have got summin back

Weordie Colo are 15/8 not 1-3?
As I typed that colo equalised & now 1/6!!! :-)
Disallowed !! 3-1 ! In play is mad

Aah ok – sorry
Crazy betting over there! 4 bookings in 1st 25 mins of Lanus game!
muzza, did you take lanus? they normaly ahead by now and i cash out but ive not done anything on them yet it looks a tight game this one.
Naaah I left it Dave as Guido never tipped me the nod & he is the South American expert
Muzzle where you been at today ?
Milesey
Bet365 need to stop telling me Colo have scored when they haven’t!
