Weekday Football 7th-11th Jan

paulizei

Three picks I've had my eye on since the weekend. I've backed them all but I'm waiting for additional news before committing a bit more.


Gloucester v Cheshunt.
Due to big problems at the club, Cheshunt only fielded 2 regular first teamers at the weekend and lost 6 nil. I'm waiting for updates but I think it'll be more of them same here.
Gloucester win @ 8/15.

Oxford Utd v Weymouth.
Weymouth are another club with problems. 1 point earned since October 20th. They've made a couple of new signings but I'm going for in form Oxford to do them.
Oxford win @ 8/11

Chelsea v Everton.
1st leg of the carling cup. Chelsea are likely to be depleted cos of injuries and the african nations cup. They're unbalanced, probably a bit knackered, and have been struggling to grind out results against weaker opposition for a while now, even Newcastle outplayed them ffs. No Pienaar for Everton which is a pity but Everton are good enough to get a result here. Everton's defence is solid and I can't see where Chelsea's goals are going to come from.
Everton +1 @ Evens
Everton Draw No Bet @ 11/4. (down to 5/2 now I think)


I also like Seville's chances against Barcelona but I'm waiting for more info there as well.

Very interesting pointers..little bit iffy myself about Everton after Saturdays' result , but an excellent shout..

adrian522

Think Everton are playing really well at the moment (despite the Oldham disaster) and should get something from this.

Also Sevilla to beat Barca is a good shout as Barca are terrible at the moment esp. away from home while Sevilla are playing great stuff.
Best chance of a trpohy for both teams as well. Does anyone know if these Copa del rey games are on TV anywhere?

jameshayes

For tonight I have/had - Inter Milan Over 2.5 goals, Belenenses v Nacional Draw/Draw and finally Torquay v Burton over 3.5 goals....

paulizei

Nacional have a few players out. I've gone for Belenenses, and cleansheet.

All my other Portugal picks have failed this weekend mind.

jameshayes

I just put a jff bet on Torquay v Burton CS = 3-2 @ 33-1

What odds did you get on the draw/draw?

jameshayes

5.20 on betfair... I couldn't turn it down

jameshayes

Last bet of the day;

Minnesota @ Dallas - Over 5.5 goals @ 2.22 (BF)

hf4z6sqo7vjngi

1st bet €30 treble potential return €169.32

Swansea v Brighton - Swansea to win at 4/6, they have won 4 and drawn 1 in there last 5 outings scoring 20 goals so are a team in form. Might be worth looking at the odds for overs 3.5 currently 9/4 on Blue Square

Altrincham v Kiddmr Harriers - Harriers to win at 11/10 they have won their last 5 away games and are 6 for 6 on form. Altrincham have lost there last 2 and are out of form at the moment.

Oxford v Weymouth - Oxford to win at 8/13 for reasons stated in previous post

2nd bet €20 "treble gambool" potential return €189.00

everton +1 @ 11/10 - close game hopeful everton can pull off a performance
rangers @ 1/3 - should be an easy win
orient draw @ 9/4 - just has draw written all over it

jameshayes

What do people think about the Carling cup tonight?

I'm smelling 2 draws to be honest

i think chelsea-everton could be a boring 0-0 no goalscorer on paddy power is 15/2 so ill probably have a small bet on that

Keano

everton +1 @ 11/10 - close game hopeful everton can pull off a performance

I think that is a great bet. Chelsea are seriously lacking firepower and Everton have a great chance I think

Everton will miss Arteta lot, that's my only reservation. But he missed the game at Man Utd too and they played well there. Chelsea have bigger problems and have been very lucky with their last few results so I'm sticking with Everton + 1 and a couple of quid on 0-1, 0-2 CS in addition to the draw no bet @ 11/4 I took earlier.

jameshayes

just looking around some other betting foums and seems that people are backing Everton....

Careful there, it's a paint trophy game, a chance for the reserves to get a go, and Swansea's fixture list is chockers.

Also lost battle to use 14 day rule to keep Pinnear from the ANC.

Saying that Chelsea have been iffy of late.

yes good point, its the only reservation i have

paulizei

Time of First Booking - Up to and Including the 29th minute @ 10/11 looks quite good to me. Chelsea are durty. Everton are pretty clean but without the creative Arteta, I'd expect them to be fairly physical, as they were against Man Utd when there were 6 yellows.

A few of the bookies have readjusted their markets towards Everton. This however tempts me back towards Chelsea. William Hill are 5/6 on them now. On Betfair you can get 10/11 or so. This just seems very big to me now.

These thoughts put me away from Swansea. I put a small lay on them at 1.74

Keano

I have gone for Everton +1 @ 10/11

raheny red

I've gone with Rangers at 10/11 for the double result with Terry Rogers tonight. I think that's a great price and they will win comfortably imo. Many other firms have the double result at 4/6. Here's hoping :cool:, also have a very small punt on Everton ht Chelsea ft.

adrian522

My bet for the evening as follows: 4.39 on Betfair:

1 St Mirren v Rangers (Backing Rangers @ 1.36)
2 Chelsea v Everton (Laying Chelsea @ 2.02)
3 Oxford Utd v Weymouth (Backing Oxford Utd @ 1.63)


Fingers Crossed.....

ErinGoBrath

In everton we trust

1 St Mirren v Rangers (Backing Rangers @ 1.36)
2 Chelsea v Everton (Backing Everton @ 4.55)

30 on @ 6.18

dsmythy

Sorry folks. Rangers match is off due to waterlogged pitch.

ErinGoBrath

4 on Neville to score at anytime @ 32.0
6 on Lescott to score at anytime @ 11.5

Chance my arm

7:50 Booking
Foul by Michael Ballack (Chelsea) on Phil Neville (Everton). Lee Carsley (Everton) booked for dissent.

Well I'm up a bit for now. Not enough to cover any potential losses though.

Good call. I might get on the sending off. Looks like it might be a heated affair...

paulizei

Oops. Soft goal.

Keano

Oh lescott and howard I could bash your 2 heads together! I was watching the match with my brother and he had under 2.5 goals done so we were both quids in...

The joys of gambling!

Boards then went down last night so I could not share my pain with anyone

hf4z6sqo7vjngi

not a good night both accums down and punted 100 on the 1-1 just after everton scored nearly sick when the scored in injury time:(

Anyone got any thoughts on tonights football?

jameshayes

It's all cup action today, I feckin hate cup games! UK, Spain, Portugal, Greece and Cyprus have all got cup games

Keano

Arsenal V Spurs is a strange game. Arsenal young guns against a Spurs side who know where the goalposts are in the last few weeks. Although in saying that they have not beat Arsenal in a long time. A draw might be in the air!!!

jameshayes

I'm going with one bet; 3-0 CS arsenal

county

Eduardo to score anytime 13-8 PP

ErinGoBrath

Eduardo to score at anytime. 11 goals in 14 starts. He's made me a small fortune recently.

Also might dabble on Sputs HT/Arse FT

hf4z6sqo7vjngi

I would say overs 2.5 is a likelyhood for the spurs/arsenal game.

Anyone got views on the spanish matches as i do not normally punt on them
was looking at sevilla barca draw, villareal, espanyol and valencia draw €4 yankee although want to hold off until i get more info anyone got good links to spanish football match previews?

What I would do with your 4euro is back the opposite because thats what always happens with Spanish cup games!

Sevilla win, Recreativo Huelva win, Betis win and Bilbao win.

Thats 40-1

Checked this last night. It's 1.6ish which is terrible value for that market.

Pj!

Sign up with Boyles mate and get the 15/8.

They'll also match your stake up to €25 with up to €25 free bet balance.

Before you ask, I don't work for them, never did but don't see why anyone would take 13/8 when 15/8 is available.


Looks a good bet but don't think I'll have any money down.
I like watching cup games, but not betting on em.



The over '2.5' is 1.93 now on Betfair for anyone interested.


Best of luck.

ErinGoBrath

My bets for tonight:

40 squids on Eduardo to score at anytime @ 2.9

10 squids on Spurs HT/Arse FT @ 27.0

More importantly, come on ye gunners!

raheny red

€15 on Eduardo to score anytime with the Gooners going on to win the game!

threebeards

Only 1 bet for tonight althought that'll probably change by the time the game is 20 mins old.

€100 on over 2.5 goals. I got it 1.93 last night although I see it's 1.84 at the moment.

paulizei

1: Arsenal Spurs overs for me and everyone else on the planet.

2: 3-2 Spurs CS @ 33/1.

3: 11/1 Combo
Penafiel +1 @ 10/11
Valencia @ 13/10
Getafe @ 4/9
Seville Barca overs @ 4/5

4: 3/1 Double
Toluca @ 8/11
Atlas +1 @ 4/6

Anything out of these 4 should make up for last night.

The Gloucester Cheshunt game has been postponed afaik.

www.goal.com always has very good previews and info about the major euro leagues. Only 1 or 2 of tonight's games up there though.

Check starting lineups before bets on goal scorers, eduardo does not start....

dsmythy

I'll be a bit mad and put a fiver on no goalscorer. 11/1 Paddy Power.

Just waiting for the usual 4-3 scoreline to occur now :rolleyes:

And another fiver on Robbie Keane to score first with Paddy Power's insure bet 1st goalscorer. This means if he fails to score the first but scores later on, you get your stake back. The price is 6/1.

adrian522

Tonites bet @3.26:

2 Selections Chosen
1 Sevilla v Barcelona - Over/Under 2.5 goals (Backing Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.8)
2 Arsenal v Tottenham - Over/Under 2.5 goals (Backing Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.81)
