I’M heading to Bolivia for the main bets today as a back-on-form Strongest outfit take on a home side whose fate was probably already sealed long before their current form hit the skids… SAN JOSÉ VS. THE STRONGEST (10.15pm) San Jose play out of the Estadio Jesus Bermudez situated in the relatively low lying city of Oruro way south of the […]

MY main bets hail from the English Lower Leagues as Darlo take on a poorly Blyth side in a game already highlighted by Jamie Kennedy on his new acca page. I’m also including an all-Essex derby game featuring 2 sides hovering around the drop zone but (like Darlo) with plenty of games in hand! But first, a quick stop-off in […]

THERE’S quite a number of South American games that hold a certain level of appeal this evening but this one stands out for some potentially erroneous Paraguayan pricing from the bookmakers… SOL DE AMÉRICA VS. 12 DE OCTUBRE (9.15pm) Bookies have SDA odds on favourites here but I’m not convinced; they have won just 1 of their last 5 meetings […]

IT’S been a while since I’ve been able to post in full but currently quarantined so find myself with that rare gift of time on my hands coupled with the even rarer gift of South American football with a chance to play the card markets! CHILE VS PERU (11.00pm) Those that have followed South American domestic football down the years […]

THERE’S a small matter of a certain Champions League Qualifier that I just can’t let lie tomorrow… CELTIC VS. KR (7.45pm) I’ll potentially get pelters from a few but don’t underestimate KR tomorrow – sure they may not win but they will give a good account of themselves! No question as to the size difference between the sides but the quality […]

ICELANDIC sports have been back under Government lockdown for a few weeks but are now underway and that’s where I’m heading for the main bets with a cheeky betbuilder on City’s game thrown in for good measure! VALUR VS. KA (5.00pm) Valur are red hot favourites here and, whilst they ought to win, I’m not so sure it will be one-way […]

THE BAIRRO OBRERO region of Paraguay’s capital City Asuncion plays host to a match featuring two sides with plenty of history between them this evening and I’m forecasting goals with some pretty solid value behind them! CERRO PORTEÑO VS. CLUB GUARANÍ It’s been a mixed start to the campaign from both sides but the standout stats are based around each […]

HUMIDITY, heavy rain, high winds and other adverse weather conditions can play a significant part in football betting and I usually check ahead of the more far-flung games as it is one of the many variables that overseas bettors should factor into making their selections. As it is, the central South American sub-tropical Asuncion climate reads 44% humidity…that’s 3% less than […]

JUST back from a lovely few days away in Berwick and Eyemouth – plenty of drinking, a bit of fishing but luckily no sign of the crabs that poor Craneguy is plagued by when he visits these remote coastal locations… My first instinct when looking at today’s card was to look into Afrika Reykjavik’s game, they are potentially one of the […]

MANY moons ago, there used to be a kebab shop in Bury called the Spice of Life. But, after a worryingly large number of post-Roxy revellers ended up shi*ting through the eye of a needle as a result of partaking in their food, it was affectionately known forever afterwards as The Spice of Death! I digress a bit but variety […]

CLOSE but no cigar last night in Orura but I’m keeping the faith in Bolivia and paying a visit to Cochabamba as old favourites Wilstermann head into the first home match of their Apertura campaign… JORGE WILSTERMANN VS. GUABIRÁ (9.15pm) Jorge hardly got off to a flyer as they went down 1-0 against a Nacional outfit who will most likely cause […]

HAPPY New Year to all the site members and here’s to a cracking 2020! I’m looking to start the ’20’s with a bang in the form of a team goals double hailing from high-flying sides in League Two and The National League North… YORK CITY VS. BRADFORD PA York were my lower league antepost pick last season but after a […]

STARE due Southeast across The Humber on a clear day and a keen eye will pick put the dark shadows of a once powerful but long-forgotten town. This is no ancient Aztec settlement though and the word civilisation could be stretching it – in fact, it’s true that nobody has ever met anyone from Grimsby – it’s almost as if […]

LOSING my football club has been a humbling experience and, I’m not too ashamed to say, an emotional one – Bury were a massive part of my life and between the age of 8 and 18, it’s fair to say they were my life. Of all my memories, there was nothing like the Bury/Bolton derbies in the 80s and 90s […]

BOLIVIAN football is back with a bang and I’m heading to capital city La Paz on the search for goals…it’s one of my favourite stomping grounds and if you can get your head around it’s quirks and penchant for red cards, it’s a cracking league to follow! BOLÍVAR VS. ALWAYS READY (8.00pm) Bolivar’s Estadio Hernando Siles stadium has been host […]

CRACKING looking South American card and one bet stands out in Paraguay with potential for an additional btts acca hailing from the mean streets of Peru… OLIMPIA VS. CERRO PORTEÑO (8.00pm): My Paraguayan favourites Cerro have restored some form of late but it’s not the same team that lit up SA last year! This Acunsión derby will be tasty but my […]

TWO games that appeal this afternoon and I’ll be heading to the Peruvian top-flight for the Nap before heading back to the UK for the Nb… SPORTING CRISTAL VS. ALIANZA UNIVERSIDAD (4.00pm) Cristal can close the gap to Alianza Lima down to 1 point as the Peruvian giants look to home in on top-spot. The hosts have been on fire […]

I’M taking a leaf out of resident corner guru Craig Alves’ book – he can sniff out a Brasilian quicker than a ferret down a trouserleg! SANTOS VS. BAHIA (10.15pm) Santos were THE in-form side and my go to team for goals earlier in the campaign but have since been overtaken and now sit 3rd but with this as a game […]

I ONCE heard someone describe the Northeast as a “brilliant night out for seedy adventures” but to be fair, the last time I heard from him, he’d been accosted by an angry mob in a cinema during a screening of Brokeback Mountain. Still, enough about poor old Craneguy – I’ve always preferred the evening footballing scene than the alternative night scene […]
Posted on: 28 Oct 2019
DEEPEST, darkest Peru for me this evening – it’s not the greatest of cards but this one may just offer up some value… UTC CAJAMARCA VS. AYACUCHO (8.30pm): UTC are favourites for this one and, based on H2H’s, I can see why bookies have given them an edge. But, look a little deeper at recent results and there’s a case to […]

PLENTY to go at on this rain-lashed Saturday but I just can’t help being drawn back to the cold and lonely streets of Kent for this one from the National League South. MAIDSTONE UNITED vs BILLERICAY TOWN Maidstone are in a fine vein of form having won their last 4 matches and scoring 4-4-2-4 goals in the process but, the […]
Posted on: 22 Oct 2019
I’VE got the old white stilettos packed and ready for a night on the Essex tiles as the bright lights of nearby Southend come calling… BILLERICAY TOWN VS. SUTTON UNITED: FA Cup Qualification action here and ‘Ricay’s 9th placed standing in the National League South isn’t a million miles away from Sutton’s 20th placed National League placement! The hosts have […]
Posted on: 20 Oct 2019
TWO bets stand out for me today and I’ll be heading to Peru for a teatime team goals NAP but staying closer to home for the NB and Longshot from Old Trafford… SPORTING CRISTAL VS. PIRATA (5.15pm) There should only be one team walking the plank here and it ought to be a game that Cristal can nail – yes, […]
Posted on: 19 Oct 2019
TODAY sees a much more tempting card after a fairly spartan week and there’s a fair bit to go at – I’ve had a good look through and can’t help being drawn back to this Northern FA Cup qualifying game… GATESHEAD VS. COLNE (3.00pm) Growing up in North Manchester, we’d sometimes need a break from the soot, rain and guns […]
Posted on: 13 Oct 2019
THINGS have been a little on the crazy side with work the last few weeks and I haven’t the time to post as much as I used to but when I get the chance, I always will as a more detailed write-up helps to clarify my own thoughts! There are two games that catch my eye today and whilst the […]
