I’M leaving the bright lights of the internationals and sticking with the Northern Lights of Iceland’s 1 Deild! HAUKAR VS. NJARDVÍK (8.15pm) It’s sh*t or bust time for a few teams at the bottom of the 2nd tier and these two are right in the thick of it with just a handful.of games left to save their hides. Normally, games would […]

WELL DONE all on the Dundee derby last night – cracking game, alas my Nap double was a goal short Mr F so can’t claim a winner! Three games (more so specific teams) stand out for me on today’s card and the first two need little introduction as I’ve discussed my thoughts on both several times already this season… GLOUCESTER […]

IT’S been a long week and with a ridiculous amount of work and my beloved Bury’s demise, I’ve had better times for sure -it’s not the world’s best post but it’s certainly a game that may pique the interest of any Night Owls out there… ATLÉTICO NACIONAL VS. DEPORTES TOLIMA (1200am): In brief, this one could come down to home […]
Posted on: 26 Aug 2019
LOOKING at this one for tomorrow and some confusion over whether it’s the fixtured league game or a cup replay – bookmakers and soccerway say the latter whilst the club’s Twitter feed say the former! I’d usually tend to trust the club’s info but it’s more likely that the cup replay would take precedence – either way there’s a damn […]

THREE selections on this Bank Holiday card – the main bets hail from Iceland with a Longshot including 3 games from the ENL. Each of the games has a solid recent and historic picture for both sides scoring so fingers crossed it’s a day of goals! FH vs. Briedablik (7.00) Valur vs Stjarnan (8.15) Both teams to score double (1.29/1, […]

La Paz is calling once again – it’s time to dig out the oxygen masks and climbing gear and take that long and winding road up through The Andes… THE STRONGEST VS. JORGE WILSTERMANN (8.00pm) Of all the South American sides, these two have a particular place in my heart and have featured in some of the most insane matches […]
Posted on: 20 Aug 2019
I’M STICKING close to home and looking for a goalscoring bullseye at The KCOM Stadium this evening as this War of The Roses clash sees trawlers and textiles come head to head… HULL CITY VS. BLACKBURN (7.45pm): I’ve been quietly impressed by City’s start to the campaign and the fans I’ve spoken to also share a sense of optimism about […]
Posted on: 16 Aug 2019
POSTED prices early morning for this one and, as predicted, the odds are tightening for home team goals – hopefully anyone interested was able to take advantage of the bigger prices as I knew I wouldn’t get this write-up done until now… THÓR VS. HAUKAR (7.00pm) All about the hosts here and it’s a fitting name for the Nordic side […]
Posted on: 15 Aug 2019
TWO games that catch my eye for goals this evening – one taken from The Icelandic Cup with the other hailing from The Costa Rican top-flight… VÍKINGUR REYKJAVÍK VS. BREIDABLIK (8.15pm) Plenty of action between these two over the years and, whilst Vikingur have home advantage, Briedablik have the best current form. 70% of the last 13 H2H’s have seen […]

TONIGHT’S card is either an embarrassment of riches or, if it goes tits up, it’s the old adage of too much choice! Either way, there’s plenty to go at and I’ve picked out three bets; a rare and risky ‘unders’ bet from The Icelandic Ladies, a tasty looking encounter from The National League and a bonkers goals longshot from all […]
Posted on: 12 Aug 2019
THERE may be mileage in backing the hosts in this Icelandic encounter – all roads lead to Reykjavìk and, in tonight’s case, The Würth Völlurinn… FYLKIR VS. GRINDAVÍK (8.15pm): Two sides not in the best of shape but I think the hosts ought to be grabbing the points – their home form is actually pretty good despite their lowly league position. […]

HOW many times have we said that big cards aren’t always the best cards? Yes, there’s loads of choice but that doesn’t necessarily mean that you home in on the games and markets that you maybe would on a smaller set of fixtures! Sometimes, even with so much choice, you have to go with instinct and, despite being stung by […]

SHOCKER yesterday in Iceland and everything looked primed ready for a decent outcome until Tindastol decided to play up away from home for the first time in a long time – funny old game football…well, about as funny as piles. Frustrating as hell but need to move on! LIVERPOOL VS. NORWICH (8.00pm): The English Premier League is back with a […]
Posted on: 08 Aug 2019
I’VE always believed that betting should be about looking for any edge over the bookies and not just about taking on the more obvious games and leagues – yes, there’s plenty to be said for it, but very often, the real value lies in those harder to reach places where there is less collective knowledge generating the prices! There’s never […]
Posted on: 06 Aug 2019
IT’S great to have the English Lower Leagues back in action and three sides who I think will have strong campaigns feature in this evenings selections with the main event coming from Mill Farm… AFC FYLDE VS. CHORLEY I included Fylde in my Antepost bets and, having come close two years running, it could be third time lucky – they […]
Posted on: 02 Aug 2019
IT’S a rare occasion that I’d dive down into the depths of the Bolivian domestic leagues but this game, hailing from Section C of The Nacional B, whets the appetite for goals potential – especially for those with a sweet tooth… INDEPENDIENTE PETROLERO VS. REAL TOMAYAPO (8.30pm) Sucre based Independiente Petrolero may not command the gravitas and standing of their […]

THERE’S only one pain that comes close to that felt when losing a loved one and it’s a pain felt by many men with young kids. Having to sit through a soft-play party with a hangover is potentially one of the most harrowing ordeals that modern man may have to face and it’s not a fate I’d wish on my […]

EVERYTHING went to plan in Brasil for yesterday’s main bets and I’ll be jetting 900 miles due west and touching down in the Paraguayan capital of Asuncion for another shot of South American goal action… SOL DE AMÉRICA VS. LIBERTAD (10.00pm) SDA’s games have long been one of the star attractions (for me at least) of following The Paraguayan ‘Division […]
Posted on: 28 Jul 2019
SOUTH America was kind to me yesterday with both the Nap and Longshot landing – hopefully, there’s more to come this evening as I take on a Brazilian that ought to be anything but a close shave! SANTOS VS. AVAÍ (8.00pm) Santos know a win here will see them leaprog Palmeiras into pole position in Brasil’s Serie A – what […]
Posted on: 27 Jul 2019
SATURDAY looks like an all-South American affair for me with the main bets hailing from Asuncion and a back-up goals long shot featuring games in Bolivia, Chile, Venezuela and, of course, Paraguay! OLIMPIA VS RIVER PLATE (11.00pm) All about the hosts at home here – aside from a couple of Copa Libertadores defeats, they are unbeaten at home in 25 consecutive […]
Posted on: 25 Jul 2019
TWO games that catch my eye today; the Nap, Nb and Longshot are all taken by siding with goals in Bolivia whilst a tea-time dabble with the Finnish Ladies league may bring an added bonus… ALWAYS READY VS. ORIENTE PETROLERO (8.00pm) Straightforward and simple – I wish – but I’m going for goals here and there’s plenty to indicate a […]
Posted on: 24 Jul 2019
AFTER a total crock yesterday, I’m looking to get back on track with a Scandinavian and Nordic goals hunt – first off, I’ll be heading to the goal-haven that is the Finnish Kolmonen for a tea-time tip… I-KISSAT VS. ACE (1800KO): This could be many things for the travelling side but ace most likely be one of the words used to […]
Posted on: 22 Jul 2019
ALL roads lead to Iceland for me this evening and although my initial thoughts were to go for Briedablik goals, the more I look, the less I like it! In fact, current form and more historic meetings point to underwhelming totals for both goals and corners and have led to me putting together a rare unders bet-builder for the NB. […]
Posted on: 19 Jul 2019
PUTTING all of your betting eggs in one basket isn’t always the best way to go but that’s the direction I’m taking this evening as I head to the Paraguyan capital city Asuncion for a potential derby cracker… NACIONAL VS. OLIMPIA (11.00pm KO) It’s the away team whom I’m siding with and although the temptation to go with both teams […]
Posted on: 16 Jul 2019
TUESDAY sees a pretty lively card in the Icelandic 1 Deild and I’m doubling up two of the earlier kicks-offs to form today’s picks… KEFLAVÍK VS. MAGNI (7.00pm) THÓR VS. NJARDVÍK (7.00pm) Both host sides are clear favourites to win and with good reason; their opposition’s away record in particular is pretty grim with Thor conceding 6 across the last […]
