ASTON VILLA made it a great night for bookies and a sore one for punters.

I looked at a lot of betting previews on last night's EFL Cup semi and didn't see anyone backing against Leicester.

But to be fair to Villa they defended well and frustrated the favourites to earn a 1-1 draw that leaves the tie firmly in the balance.

The result cost me 6pts – three on a Top Treble running from Monday and three for  a Leiester -1 Super Single.

I could have lost more such was mine and other peoples' confidence in the Foxes so that's my only consolation.

It was a shock result and in football they happen. We need to dust ourselves down and go again.

I still have faith in Leicester to reach the Final and playing away may suit them better. Odds are now out and I'm slightly shocked with the Foxes no bigger than 4-11 to reach the Final having won at Villa Park in the league.

On the night Leicester are 5-6 with Villa 4-1 so while I still have faith in Brendan Rodgers' side the odds don't provide value.

Well done to any winners last night with plenty on the French Cup which did go the way of the form book with convincing wins for Lille, Lyon and PSG.

Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 3-1 in the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi and next up tonight is Barcelona v Atletico Madrid.

We have Torino v Genoa in the Italian Cup and not much else so probably be a no bet day as I look forward to the weekend.

      Hi Sean, Just wanted to say thanks. I was on both your French trebles yesterday and made a good profit, on what was a tough night. I follow most of your bets and think your amongst the most consistent on here, so cheers mate.

    • El Gooner 4 years ago

      Whats your thoughts on Newcastle jets nicking a goal against Sydney Sean?
      I watched their last game when they lost 4-0 and actually thought they were unlucky to score. Played some good stuff at times and thought the score line was harsh on them.

      Was thinking of building an acca around Sydney and btts

    • sean567 4 years ago

      cheers pete.
      el gooner they are more than capable especially at home. sydneys defence hasn’t been very watertight lately with injuries and suspensions at both full back positions and theres every likelihood it will be the 2 young boys again tomorrow as grant is still suspended and zullo only returned from injury last week. Sydney also looked to be running on empty last week. 2 clean sheets in 12 games suggests its more than likely the jets will find the net. 1-2 or 1-3 imo

    • El Gooner 4 years ago

      Nice one Sean 👍

  2. maccathered 4 years ago

    No joy lasy night as we all know Leicester didn’t deliver,they pretty much dominated the game but couldn’t break through.Valencia also lost so a poor night.well done anyone wth a win.

    Squeeze a bit more out of it by taking Sydney win and over 1.5 tgs Sean (13/10) which is the same thing.

    I don’t think I have ever bet on unders in the card market but think skybet have priced this up wrong.
    Barcelona v atletico madrid.
    This is a glorified friendly away from home in the middle East. Hardly any fans from Spain. Yesterday real madrid v Valencia saw 1 card.
    I can’t see this being a card fest.
    Under 70 booking points 1.73
    Under 50 booking points 2.25
    Might also risk a small stake on under 20 or 30 booking points

    • andrzejstarba 4 years ago

      Sorry it should be under 60 booking points is 2.25

    • cockerspaniel 4 years ago

      Might be a good shout andrze . Folowing you on the under 60 and under 50 . Good luck .

    • andrzejstarba 4 years ago

      Never done unders but have a sneaky suspicion on this one. Hope it pays off. Haven’t gone too mad on the stakes.

  11. Deano86 4 years ago

    Barca/torino win double, thoughts anyone??? Don’t usually do the wow but this looks decent

    • Mr Fixit 4 years ago

      I’d like to see line-ups as always with cup games.

    • Ad 4 years ago

      I saw Barca’s last game against espanyol and thought they looked very average. Some great individual stuff from Messi and Suarez, but not much else and incredibly open at the other end.
      With a neutral venue I’d expect Athletico to get something from this. They battered Barca early on in their recent meeting.

    • Deano86 4 years ago

      Ended up going for over 2.5 in the barca/athletico game as a single, hopefully been a cup game they’ll both have a go 👍

    Afternoon gents

    Selectabet and I recorded the Gambla betting Podcast on Tuesday night as we look at this weekends matches – give it a listen

    https://mrfixitstips.co.uk/gambla-betting-podcast-everton-morton-cove-kings-lynn-tips-podcast/

    One of those matches was Morton vs Dunfermline which I think the prices are completely wrong

    Morton have one of the better home records in the league – Dunfermline have the second worst away record and have now lost 4 games in a row

    Added to that, I mentioned on the podcast that Dunfermline have lost some of their loan players to their parent club and that there is no way they should be 6/5 favourites

    The Pars have now lost 5 of their loan players – Morton look way too big at 21/10 – prices are the wrong way round

  16. GregBrowning 4 years ago

    Afternoon gents

    Quick one for tonight

    🇮🇹 Torino vs Genoa (KO 8.15pm) 🇮🇹

    Copa Italia action, as Torino host struggling Genoa in the last 16 – The hosts come into it in fine fettle and they’ve been a side who from memory have had really high corner counts in their home games recently.

    Have had a look into it – their last 5 have ended:

    10-3
    3-9
    12-4
    11-6
    6-11

    75 corners (avg 15 a game) and what’s really interesting they racked up 12 corners themselves against Juve and 11 vs Inter, the leagues two best sides by some distance

    Genoa consistently rack up 3-4 corners on the road and if Torino’s recent home matches are anything to go by we should see some more tonight, particular for the hosts.

    Recommended Bets:

    Torino over 5.5 corners
    4/6 (NAP)
    Torino -2 corners
    11/10 (Bet365)
    Over 10 corners
    1/1 (Bet365)

  26. andrzejstarba 4 years ago

    If anyone is on the under bookings in Barcelona v atletico madrid if its with skybet I don’t think skybet count cards given after whistle has gone. 2 cards were shown after ht whistle so I think so far its only 2 cards shown so 20 booking points

    • maccathered 4 years ago

      The cards count as normal mate because it’s inside the 90 mins,if any of the players get booked agaain it’s a sending off so they have to count them in.

    • cockerspaniel 4 years ago

      If they were on the park it counts , if not they will not count. I have not seen the match so i do not know for sure .

    • andrzejstarba 4 years ago

      I’ll have to wait and see. If so that rule sucks as I have had cards shown after full time and those bets lost when I had overs.

    • andrzejstarba 4 years ago

      Now with atletico winning I bet there will be more cards. Not looking good. Don’t think I’ll ever bet unders again. Not fun!

    • cockerspaniel 4 years ago

      That is with Sky — I think we will so a few more any way so it might not matter .

    • dc john boy 4 years ago

      Skybet showing as both sides at 2 yellow cards &Leah team so sitting at 40 match booking points

    • maccathered 4 years ago

      How can that rule suck,when the players come back onto the field they are on a yellow and if they were to get another it would be a red.If Sky didn’t add the cards then people would be backing the players to get sent off at astronomical prices.If they get booked after the final whistle,final beng the main word.Half time whistle isn’t the final whistle.

    • andrzejstarba 4 years ago

      Either way, called the game wrong. Sorry if anyone was on.

      Keep the faith,results should start going the right way now players have had a rest.

  37. Ad 4 years ago

    Quite fancy Kecmanovic to win ATP Qatar after seeing him dismantle Fucsovics today with a brilliant display. He’s already dispatched Tsonga in an impressive run here, and I would give him a great change against both of the remaining tournament favourites, Wawrinka and Rublev.

    5/1
