IT was quite a night for the home nations as the World Cup qualifying groups drew to a close.
England skelped a hapless, 10-man, San Marino by ten goals to nil, Scotland beat one of the form teams in Europe, Denmark, 2-0 at an electric Hampden Park and Northern Ireland held European Champions, Italy, to a creditable 0-0 in Belfast.
Now it's over to Wales to pick up the baton and get a result that will see them seeded in the play-offs and get to play the one-off semi-final match a home.
The only problem is that the World's No.1 ranked team, Belgium, stand in their way. The Welsh need a point to finish second in Group E but they have the safety net of a play-off berth via the their UEFA Nations League performance to fall back on. That route would leave them unseeded however and the prospect of a trip to Italy, Portugal or even Hampden(!) in the play-off semi-final.
The good news is that Belgium have already qualified comfortably and Roberto Martinez will use the match to hand some game-time to fringe players and future prospects. Their absentee list would walk in to most interational starting XIs around Europe; Courtois, Hazard, Denayer, Mignolet, Praet, Lukaku, Alderweireld and Tielemans.
Ordinarily Belgium at 13/10 would be a must-bet but the team news will be crucial before betting on this one.
One of three teams can still claim top spot in Group G. Netherland host Norway in Rotterdam where a draw would be good enough for the hosts. Defeat could hand top spot to Norway or open the door for Turkey who travel to Montenegro.
Norway will still be without Haaland and failed to find the net against Latvia last time out to all but blow their chances, so no surprise to see the Dutch as short as 2/5 to win. They've put an early 4-2 defeat to Turkey behind them and have scored 31 in nine so far, although 13 of those have been against Gibraltar.
Turkey drew 2-2 with Montenegro when the visitor stuck in the 98th minute in Istanbul but there can be no margin for error tonight. Only a win will be good enough to see the Turks qualify automatically, failing that it will be good enough for them to secure second spot.

Northern Ireland u21 vs Malta u21
It was Austria last week I fancied taking a few off Azerbaijan and this week it’s Norway. Watched the game and it’s fair to say Azerbaijan are pretty dire, and kicked more shins than made passes. Norway took 3 off of Austria back in September, and have scored 2+ in their last 5 games, and 3+ in 4 of those. They have only failed to score a goal in two games against the Netherlands in the last 4 years. With the chance to go level on points (for a few hours at least) with top of the group Croatia, I can see Norway notching a few goals here at a generous price.
Liechtenstein are awful, and Belarus took 6 off them at home a month ago. A bit wary after Iceland gave up at half time last week, but I can see them at least netting 2 or 3 against one of the worst u21 sides in Europe.
Northern Ireland host Malta with what I can only imagine being revenge on their minds after an embarrassing 4-1 defeat in the away tie in September, with the irony being they completely dominated the game. They have won both their home games since then against Slovakia and Lithuania, scoring 5 in the process, while malta have lost all 4 games, conceding 17 goals. Can see NI scoring at least 2 here.
Apologies for the lengthy write up, it’s the boredom of a nightshift kicking in and the only chance I have time to put reasoning behind it 😅
Good luck all 🤞🤞
Really good reasoning, cheers. Deffo gonna be on this one.
Took Norway -1 last night at EVS. Could only get -3 for Belarus. Reassuring reading your reasoning.

Hiya mate,
If you’re flat skating, it’ll be 1 unit on each bet.
In reality, my 1 unit could be £100 and your 6 units could be £6
If you want it to be representative and comparable, you would need to adjust to 1 unit on each bet :)
Don’t forget, everyone’s 1 unit differs, so putting down 6 units on each bet is hypothetical and not a true reflection of outcome
In other words, your independent variable would be the 1 unit stakes.
Don’t know if the bookies are feeling a bit bruised today as most haven’t got any prices up for the Germany San Marino u21 match. Ladbrokes haven’t got the game listed and most of the others only the match price. Pathetic. Bet 365 is the only one I can see with handicap prices.

Hi Nathan,
I’m curious to compare the stake plans, so we start with the same bank and we place the same bets (because I’m following you on paper).
The only reason why I chose to place 6 units on each bet is this (I wrote that yesterday):
“Starting with the same bank and using a stake of 6 units. In your system you lose 31 units after 5 wrong bets and with the flat stakes I lose 30 units with 5 wrong bets, so it’s a comparable amount of risk.”
The novelty in your system is hitting the brakes if 5 bets lose. I’ve adjusted the stake size in the flat-stake plan accordingly (that’s the only variable I can adjust). I have idea if it’s a good staking plan or not, I’m just curious.
And yes, I’ve read a lot of recommendations to use 1% of your bank in a flat-stake system and it makes sense. But I’ll keep staking 6 units.
Afternoon gents,
Some crackers yesterday and the bookies deserved a bit of a bashing…still yet to see one on a bike!
South American WC Qualifiers are drawing me to higher altitude tonight and the penalty and cards angle may pay dividends again – I’ll add goals into a 2nd longshot for good measure as the H2H has a rich history:

Hi Guys,
Going for cards in the 2 group G games involving the top 4 in group.
All to play for for the top 3, Netherlands, Norway and Turkey, all still
in with a chance of qualification. With that in mind going for:-
20+ booking points each team in the Netherlands vs Norway and the
Montenegro vs Turkey games @ 2/1 with Skybet – 10 points staked
Top plays 3rd in the Netherlands and Norway need a result to give them
any chance of qualification, which could mean the Netherland’s miss out.
Turkey also need something from their game to guarantee a play-off place
Montenegro drew with Netherland’s last round coming back from a 2-0
deficit, don’t think Turkey will have it easy tonight.
GOOD LUCK WITH ALL BETS TONIGHT!!!
LOST – no cards for Turkey does this one!!

A note for Nathan:
In your original Martingale post you wrote “0.5×0.5×0.5×0.5×0.5 = 0.015625”
I’m running some calculations in LibreOffice (I might post them later today or tomorrow) and it says the result is 0.03125. So it looks like you are twice as likely to hit 5 losses in a row.
Let me know if LibreOffice is wrong.

Judging by the match odds bookies expect a narrow Peru win.
I’m not so sure as they don’t travel well and Venezuela’s beat work is at home, in fact all their work is at home, all their 7 points have been gained in Venezuela.
Peru got themselves back into contention for a top 5 spot with a 3-0 win at home to Bolivia, but they are notoriously bad travellers and that result was expected.
They will see today as an opportunity to get back in the mix with 2 games after this to play.
Peru beat Venezuela 1-0 in the Copa America earlier this year but that was on neutral territory.
The last 5 world cup qualifiers in Venezuela between these were
2-2. 3-2. 3-1. 4-1. 3-0.
Venezuela’s last 3 home qualifiers in the last 2 months
Venezuela 2 Ecuador 1
Venezuela 1 Brazil 3
Venezuela 1 Argentina 3
*** These 3 opponents occupy the top 3 places in the standings ***
Ok Venezuela can’t qualify but they are capable of scoring at home even without their main scorer saloman rondon.
Reverse fixture in September was Peru 1 Venezuela 0.
Venezuela had a red card after 30 minutes but shots, corners, possession etc were very close considering this.
Peru have always struck me as a bit flaky and wouldn’t surprise me if they let me down here, hopefully they can manage at least one as it means a lot to them tonight.
Prediction 2-1 or 1-2
