YESTERDAY’S Bolivian bets are on ice until Monday and did put up a couple of late btts picks but they were a total write off! Sunday is an interesting card with most of the key SA leagues clocking back on and a smattering of half-decent Nordic games thrown in for good measure. I’ve looked through the lot and settled on […]

IT’S been a great week and looking to make it 4 successful NAP and NBs on the bounce with a a helping hand from the return of The Bolivian Primera! ALWAYS READY VS. SPORT BOYS (8.00pm) Destination Estadio Municipal El Alto for me this evening as the Bolivian Clauara kicks into gear – there is massive favouritism for the hosts […]

SOMETIMES there are easier bets to take on but real (potential) value usually comes from taking a calculated risk and that’s my steer for tonight’s selections – hopefully fortune favours the brave… FJÖLNIR VS. KEFLAVÍK (8.15pm) Prices are as short as 4/11 for Fjolnir here and whilst I understand how those prices have been generated on recent standings and form, […]

IT’S that time of year when thoughts turn to ante post selections and two bets stand out for me with a common theme emerging – The Mighty Shakers potential (and highly likely) freefall! With gaffer Ryan Lowe gone and talismanic playmaker Danny Mayor joining him at Argyle, the future looks bleak for Bury amongst our ongoing financial shenanigans – although […]

THIS one may just see home side ÍBV contract a serious case of IBS as they come face to face with The Urvalsdeield’s top side in KR Reykjavik! ÍBV VS. KR (5.00pm) KR were my pre-season fancies after a really strong showing towards the end of the last campaign and have justified that confidence with a sh*t-hot start; 26 points […]

FUNNY thing this weather on these islands of ours – I left Costa Del Hull around 18.00 Friday in scorching sunshine only to arrive 40 miles up the coast at beautiful Filey surrounded by grey clouds and a piss-cold North Sea fret. Still, it’s good to get a wee break even if it means sharing a tin prefab with two […]

HullShaker goes back to Iceland in search of goals
Posted on: 16 Jun 2019
I’TS been a great run of form with the NAPs this last three weeks and my thoughts are turning to South America to see if I can extend the run further this evening. PARAGUAY vs QATAR (8pm) Copa America action here as these two go head to head in their Group B opener – the natural perception would be for […]
Posted on: 14 Jun 2019
No time for a full write-up but I’m swerving the (currently) inconsistent Icelandic Urvalsdeild in favour of a late Brasilian… JUVENTUDE VS. VOLTA REDONDA (2300KO): Juventude are favourites here but I suspect the visitors will make their mark at some point in this Serie C clash. Having dropped from B to C last season, the hosts will be a tough test […]
Posted on: 13 Jun 2019
I’M leaving the torrential monsoons of Humberside for the relatively balmy conditions in Reykjavik where it’s sunny and a few degrees warmer than it is here… FJÖLNIR VS. VÍKINGUR ÓLAFSVÍK It’s not too bad a card in this evening’s 2nd tier but one game looks to have the edge for goals as two of the Urvalsdeild’s old foes come head […]

IT’S Ladies Night for me this evening and although I daren’t tell Mrs Hull, my eye has been caught by not only the dusky Parisien beauties of France’s World Cup team but also those dirty-kneed NILFs. LURGAN TOWN LADIES vs CREWE UNITED LADIES (7.30pm) It looks to be pretty much pissing it down on the southern banks of Lough Neagh so […]
Posted on: 10 Jun 2019
I’M heading to Iceland’s 2 Dield in search of goals and reckon this one has a great chance at a fair price. SELFOSS vs KFG (8.15pm) This one should be dictated by each team’s respective home and away form – my thoughts siding with a healthy win for Selfoss although any goals will be gratefully received! The hosts have hit 5-3-1 […]
Posted on: 04 Jun 2019
NORDIC action all the way for me today and I’ve picked out a game from Finland and one from Iceland that both stand a great chance of goals! GG vs FENRIR (9pm) Destination south-west Iceland for this one and I’m putting my money on the hosts handing out a humping to new kids on the block Fenrir. The visiting side […]

IT is a widely known fact Bury is the precise centre of the universe – not just in interplanetary terms but also in football parlance. Not only are The Mighty Shakers still holders of the biggest FA Cup Final victory when we trounced Derby County 6-0 in 1903 but we also erm … errr, hmmm … OK so we’ve achieved […]

Posted on: 20 Apr 2019
BY far and away the biggest game of the Paraguayan Division Profesional’s Apertura campaign as perennial big-hitters Olimpia travel across the capital city of Asuncion to take on new kids on the block Cerro Porteno! CERRO PORTEÑO VS. OLIMPIA (10.00pm): Olimpia sit top after 15 games and have a 4 point lead on Cerro who have played one more game and […]

I’VE never been great at remembering important dates. I know my kids birthdays and vaguely know which month Mrs Hull celebrates her annual moon-howling session but beyond that, I’m pretty useless. There are exceptions though and Friday 26th April marks a very special day in the HullShaker household; a time of year for great celebration and teary-eyed reminiscing.. that’s right […]

HullSaker backs goals in Iceland and corners in the Champions League
Posted on: 16 Apr 2019
PRICES still good for Cerro given all that has happened in recent months but there is most certainly a caveat or three. Cerro play in the Copa Libertadores in nine days and will be keen to keep up their extraordinary 100 per cent record. Even more pressingly they take on the mighty Olimpia Asuncion in four days and that is […]
