Half your stake will win (-1.5) the other half will be pushed (-2).

Cheers, that's what I figured but wasn't 100%.

Lens/Nantes looks a nailed on draw to me, 2/1 so having a bit of that. Also draw/draw @ 7/2

I was thinking of over 3.5 goals in Man Utd - Fulham, any opinions? I'm thinking it could easily end 3-1 or something like that.

Price ?

Looks like I can get 2.44. I think I'll pass, none of Man U's home games this year in the league have had more than 3 goals.

Gonna lump on United -2 Bit of history between the pair at Old Trafford...

Utd 2-0
Utd 3-0
Utd 3-0
Utd 2-0
Utd 5-1
Utd 4-2
Utd 1-0

United beat thrashed Fulham 5-0 at the Cottage earlier this season
No major injuries for United apart from Vida, so Rooney and co will be raring to go
United know they can reel in City's goal difference tonight. City currently 4 ahead
United have scored 2.8 goals on average at home in the League this season
Fulham have the worst record on the road in the League this season (joint with QPR and Wolves)


Getting 2.70 on the -2 handicap for United anyway. G'luck to anyone who backs it, but personally it looks like a real given to me. General feelings aside, you have to imagine Fergie will have them launching at Fulham for the 90 minutes considering City's screw up?? Go top on points and goal difference....


Hon the bet!

Lumped on United to win both halves, United -1 and United -2. Will also prob throw a few bob on United to score both halves and maybe something small on Utd -3. As you can see, I've really high hopes for Fulham tonight.

100 on man utd -1 at 8/13
50 on man utd -2 at 6/4

Can't see the value here. If your first bet comes in & your second doesn't you lose any profit so both have to come in. Would you not be better so to just go with the -2 if you think it will come in?

Taking that PP special on Rooney 2 or more goals @ 10/3. Very good price considering most bookies have him under 2/1.

Also a couple quid on Rooney 1st scorer United 3-0 win @ 14/1

Town and country are on this Utd -1 Braga -1 double tonight, better come in!

Took this myself with 30 euro. Seems peculiar to me the odds for this are so high in the enhanced special considering PP have Rooney to score 2 or more @ 17/10 outside of the special.

Their powerplays usually consist of bets that look favourable but in the end they just miss out. I'm guessing somebody's well paid to make the powerplays look attractive but with this one tonight I can't see any flaws with betting big? Even if it doesn't come off, it seems a great value bet, too good to be true nearly.

That leaves me wondering.. Does Rooney have some injury that will prevent him playing the full 90 minutes? Or is there something else I'm missing?

Braga have been ahead at HT in 8 of their 11 home games this season. Academica have been behind in 5 of their 11 away games this season. Braga are 10/11 to be winning at HT.

Thing is lads that Rooney played in an AM role last week and set up most of utds 5 goals and got man of the match. He didn't get any and to be honest didn't look like getting. I think paddy power are being very smart and I think he will play an AM role again tonight and Hernandez and Welback up front. That's my thoughts on it so I recommend waiting til the line ups are confirmed and if he plays up front then is get on otherwise might be better off to leave it. Only my opinion on it though.

Was thinking same myself which is why im doubting him getting a few tonight.

United to win 3-0 at 7/1 is nice though.

United have kept 7 clean sheets at home this season and Fulham's away goal scoring record is awful, they average 0.57 goals per game away from home.

At home United have scored 12 first half goals compared with 27 second half goals. Expect them to win with a clean sheet so I reckon

Second Half Handicap Man Utd (-1.0) 7/4

Is Dempsey up front?
