ENGLAND kick off their Women's World Cup campaign this morning and the bookies are banking on the Lionesses giving Haiti a mauling.
The minnows are as big as 125/1 with Paddy Power while you have to go to -4 in the handicap to find decent odds on England at 7/5 with the same firm.
There's better value in the anytime scorer market and Manchester City winger Lauren Hemp appeals at 21/20 (William Hill) if she lands a starting slot.
I'd expect Haiti to sit back in a bid to frustrate England so another bet that catches the eye is the 19/20 on offer at 888Sport for over 4.5 first-half corners.
The Scottish League Cup group stage has thrown up plenty of shocks already and there's potential for more today with lots of Championship v Premiership ties.
Kilmarnock’s trip to East End Park looks perilous and Dunfermline could be worth a flutter at 11/5 (McBookie) after drawing with Raith Rovers on the road and battering Annan 4-0 at home.
Backing the half-time draw paid off for me in that clash with Rovers and the same bet looks good again today at 5/4 with William Hill.
New Dundee boss Tony Docherty started his reign with a 1-0 win in Bonnyrigg but faces a tougher task on the road at Airdrie today.
The Diamonds are usually good value for goals but Docherty has made the Dark Blues hard to break down so I’m on under 2.5 strikes (23/20, Bet365).
Motherwell’s game with Queen’s Park should be a thriller and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals in a McBookie bet builder pays 114/100.
St Johnstone and St Mirren both have little margin for error as they bid to avoid crashing out in the group stage for the second year in a row.
The Buddies lost 1-0 at Montrose in their opener and now host an Arbroath side who beat them 1-0 in the League Cup groups a year ago.
The Red Lichties let me down in midweek as they could only draw with Lowland League side Cowedenbeath at home, with a lack of punch up front costing them dear.
St Mirren also look light in attack so that makes under 2.5 strikes a good option at 21/20 (Bet365) while betting against BTTS pays the same price with BetVictor.
St Johnstone crashed 1-0 away to Stenhousemuir last weekend and that has made the fans even angrier about the lack of new arrivals this summer.
Saints now head to League One Alloa, who also got off to a bad start as they lost 2-1 at home to Stirling.
The Wasps always try to attack and that makes them a little vulnerable in defence. Stevie May should lead the line for St Johnstone and looks good value at 6/5 (McBookie) to score.

Not a great day again yesterday. Still awaiting a match to finish before I add the recap but will need that to pull through in order to reduce the loses and ensure the profit from this week still remains in place.
Some early plays I have for tomorrow:
My main focus will be on the match below. This “should” be a close match. Both players have been playing very well this week and are enjoying the high altitude and faster clay court conditions. I would slightly favour Medjedovic in this one based on what I have seen from him but it should be tight. Medjedovic has been serving decent numbers of aces and double faults this week and I see no reason why this should be any different.
Cachin – Medjedovic
1.75 units Over 22.5 Games 1.87 Pinnacle
0.5 units Over 10.5 Games 1st set 3.5 Bet365
0.25 units Over 12.5 Games 1st Set 5.5 Bet365
3 units Over 5.5 Medjedovic Aces 1.83 Bet365
0.5 units Medjedovic 10+ Aces 5.5 Bet365
3 units Over 4.5 Medjedovic Double Faults 1.83 Bet365
Any further plays I have I will post during the morning.
1.5 units Ruud 3+ Double Faults 2.25 Bet365
May have some further plays for later in the day
A massive let down on this match. Medjedovic has played so well all week and yet today just didn’t show up. To rub salt in the wounds he also ended up on 4 double faults. If this was at all competitive then the Aces and Doubles would have sailed in. Not sure many people would have predicted a 6-3 6-1 type of scoreline between these two before the match started. Another strange result this week.
Normal people don’t want to read about ugly stuff like this mate…..depressing. Should be full of ante post chatter for the season coming up like my guy Macca puy up yesterday.

Zambia – looks like some value in their goal scorer markets (with WH).
I’m going to back Barbra Banda and Rachael Kundananji to score anytime, score two and also the hat trick.
Small stakes but Zambia have impressed in the lead up.
Love a goal or three the Zambians..Barbra Banda looks there main goal threat.
Completely agree craigyboy and think they will go for it. Japan are technically good but the strength and power/determination of the Zambian team will unsettle. BoL.
I don’t think Zambia have touched the ball yet .lol
Ye unfortunate. Japan looking excellent.
I’m also on BTTS in both halves at 13/1 in the Zambian game
Another missed penalty in USA v Vietnam women’s game from earlier this morning – that’s one penalty in every match so far.
Was about to write same thing. Anyone have any insight into why so many pens? Players diving in like Sunday league teams maybe? Poor refs? Never watched a women’s game in my life so I’m clueless. Just trying to find a reason why to have a little fun stakes double or treble like others are doing
The one in the Switzerland game yesterday was never a penalty and VAR intervened. There does seem to be an element of panic and naivety with some of the defenders.
It’s like when Aus men’s football started/was in its infancy, so many pens, own goals and red cards. Defenders still learning their trade, VAR to ensure nothing gets missed and a gulf in class between teams which forces errors. I will continue backing pens and own goals in most games ???
Cheers lads appreciate the replys. I’ve took 11-2 England miss a pen doubled with a pen taken in Denmark v China game 2-1 for a bit of fun today . £2 @ 18.5/1 skybet. Usually use bet365 but couldn’t find pen markets there so maybe I’m on at poor odds
The only bookies offering penalty markets seem to be William Hill & SkyBet (and Hills aren’t quoting prices for matches more than a couple of days ahead)
Ah nice one mate saved us searching around different sites. Appreciated
Dunfermline
Ross county
Btts double 2/1
Good luck
How can the Zambian goalkeeper be shown a second yellow card if the first penalty was overturned? surely the yellow gets rescinded.
Just stumble across match and seen the yellow was for the foul that led to the penalty award.
but her first yellow was given when she fouled earlier in the game when the penalty was rescinded because there was an offside in the build up
Penalty in England game ??
Some further plays for today.
1.5 units Ruud 3+ Double Faults 2.25 Bet365
I played the same selection yesterday which was very close (hit 2 doubles in the 1st set). Ruud regularly hits 2/3 plus double faults a match and the conditions today are expected to be very windy which will also cause issues when serving. Worth a play again here at plus odds as I was expecting 1.9.
May have some further for later in the day.
Good luck with your bets
What a World Cup for penalties. Hope many got on. Still plenty of time for more

Dundee Utd,if there is a Dudde Utd please let me know for future reference?
Under 2.5 goals was 14/1 in the England game, over 2.5 goals as 1/33.
Unders is where the monies at
Got an email yesterday bet 10 quid on the England game get 10 free bet, ignored it of course as the line set were ridiculous.
Women’s football is an absolute joke.
Bookies odds of England winning = 1.01 (against LOWEST ranking team in tournament)
Total England shots on target = 10, yet they win just 1:0 – and that was from a lucky penalty England initially MISSED, but retook because goalkeeper moved.
What a total shambles.
Same as some other games. Spain, USA, Australia etc. I’m wondering if they’re being told to keep the scores down, as it would be quite embarrassing on such a stage. You do see cricket type scores of 14-0 commonly between the same teams.
The standards been terrible. You expect mis-matches but the standard of finishing from the better sides has been abysmal. The refereeing standard has been poor as well.
After the delayed match from yesterday finished this morning I can now recap yesterday’s results. Thankfully it meant the loses were reduced down to -3.06 units and still means a profit on the week which currently sits at +7.02 units. The week after a slam are notoriously known to be difficult so any type of profit this week would be good.

Final plays for today:
5 units C Liu -2.5 games 1.83 Bet365 (A larger stake on this one. Baindl has already played a tough match today and would have been underdog in this match anyway)

Will do a recap tomorrow.
Good luck everyone with your bets.

Mjt your units yesterday were 27 not 21. Have a look. I think you may have a problem with gambling in my opinion.
He is actually right this time but damn kalsingh, ur hot on his units! ?
Kal…I stood up for you last week and I’ll stand up for MJ this week mate. Is it not possible he has simply made a mistake with adding his totals just like you made a mistake last week? People need to stop jumping to conclusions on here. Saw one of my favourite guys on here get targeted for months on end and no suprise he hasn’t been back on for months now. Don’t want to see the same happen to someone who seemingly puts alotbof effort into his bets.
You either KNOW something as FACT or you simply don’t know and it’s just a belief in your head.
KALSINGH1977 you are really now starting to get on my nerves. My units yesterday were 21 units. I have them all detailed in a spreadsheet.
So I actually think you have a major problem with reading or are just intentionally trying to get at me for some unknown reason.
I will list all of my bets from yesterday now and then perhaps you can apologise to me once again!!!!!
Below is the list of bets placed yesterday:
3 units A Ramos 3+ Double Faults 1.83 Bet365
1.5 units J.P Varillas -2.5 games 1.94 Pinnacle
1 unit C Ruud 3+ Double Faults 2.37 Bet365
1.5 units P Cachin to beat Munar 2.0 Bet365
1 unit J Munar 5+ Double Faults 2.2 Bet365
2 units F Stollar 3+ Double Faults 1.8 Bet365
1 unit E Navarro 5+ Double Faults 3.25 Bet365
2 units P Cachin 5+ Match Aces x Y Hanfmann 5+ Aces 2.77 Bet365
Hanfmann – Medjedovic
1.25 units over 22.5 games 2.0 Pinnacle
0.5 units Over 10.5 games 1st set 3.5 Bet365
0.25 units Over 12.5 games 1st set 5.5 Bet365
1.5 units M Sherif to beat Osorio 2.0 William Hill
2 units F Cerundolo x Q Zheng 2.02 William Hill
The above comes to 18.5 units.
I then added some more units on the following:
1 unit E Navarro 5+ Double Faults 3.25 Bet365
1 units F Stollar 3+ Double Faults 1.8 Bet365
0.5 units F Stollar 5+ Double Faults 5.0 Bet365
18.5 units + 2.5 units = 21 UNITS!!!!
Ignore Dean, I mean Kal
He’s an idiot pal, ignore him. People on here appreciate well researched and reasoned tips. They don’t always win, if they did we would all be millionaires, but I’d rather see reasoning than not. Keep up the good work mate, and just don’t give oxygen to clowns like Dean, I mean Kal…
He is indeed and thanks Master. I’m guessing I won’t be getting another apology from him and he’ll just go silent again for a few days and then pop up again making further false statements.
U have a problem with things and some are not good things weirdo ?
Only the one goal in ?? so double down.
Good luck with your bets and well done all winners ?

And?
I can confirm that is not me as I do not use that platform.
So not only are you spending your days constantly incorrectly trying to count units and making wrong statements against me, you are now searching for me on Google. Do you have nothing better to do with your time?
I am a little surprised you have the ability to use Google to be honest seeing as it seems you regularly struggle to count units even with the use of a calculator.
I am guessing you are not going to admit you were wrong again now are you KALSINGH1977?
