    Was in Power's over lunch and saw (what I think) is the bet of the w/e.

    Arsenal (H) to beat Bolton
    &
    Liverpool (A) to beat Stoke

    Straight double works out at just under 1/1.
    PP are giving 5/4.
    Liverpool I would give a 90% chance of winning and Arsenal I would put at slightly lower, around 80%.
    5/4 is way too high for that double and it will be receiving a large chunk of the doki betting stash ;)

    Wouldnt agree myself. They may both win but its definately not as sure as that. Liverpool couldnt score against stoke earlier in the season and stoke away isnt an easy game. Arsenal always struggle against physical teams like Bolton too.

    My bet of the weekend is connacht+4 at the scarlets tonight at 10/11. Connacht have been playing great stuff lately and +4 at a weak scarlets team with no stephen jones or mark jones looks good. Hopefully it will piss rain in Galway aswell!

    Stash now on and increased stash awaiting collection Sunday afternoon :rolleyes:.
    Kept a score out and stuck it on Doyler to score first goal tonight at 8's.
    No idea if he will or not but at that price it must worth a look.

    FYI Villa/Liverpool double is evens also, and I'd certainly fancy Villa to beat WBA more so than Arsenal against Bolton.

    Best bet of the weekend is by far Valencia against Villareal @ evs.

    David Silva back in the reckoning after months out, good home record vs Villareal's poor record. Nihat missing for Villareal and Valencia are fresh from beating At. Madrid midweek.

    Just for those who are thinking of backing Villa, Villa have only won one of their past 5 home games while West Brom have won 2 of their past 3 games. Not written in stone at all

    It's a difficult one. Villa are second in the form table but that's based on impressive away results. They have very little strength in depth and there are doubts (or at least were this morning, not sure what exactly is wrong) about Barry and Laursen who are 2 of their 3 most important players. Based on their poor home form and the injuries the value is in West Brom draw no bet at 6/1 for me but I'd stear clear. Too dodgy.

    I do like Everton at home to Hull though

    Everton at home to Hull

    Would agree there all right.
    Hull have had their day and will slowly but surely slip down the table.
    Picked Everton in me Boylers 21 competition.
    Lying in 2nd place at mo so need a few goals.

    In a 30 runner handicap? And its your bet of the weekend?

    Where can I get the pills you're on?! I enjoy a good diversion from reality myself the odd time.

    Unlucky of you that were holding out for Liverpool. Baxtards!

    Liverpool drawing tonight reminded me of a an old thread teams you never back. Tonights result is a prime example of how unreliable they are.

    Worst thing about todays result is if MU win against Chelsea they will
    be big odds on to win the title again and guess who laid them before the season started :o

    Glad i didn't bet this weekend as i probably would have gone for some of the above choice. Never betting on these big teams again unless it's 0-0 to green out :D

    Agreed but they have also drawn 7 games - the majority of those you expect them to win, West Ham, Hull and Stoke all at home.

    IMO a team that is serious about winning the league these should be easy victories and easy to back.

    I don't know who I'm more annoyed at, the referee for giving that penalty or the Valencia defensive coach who should be on the dole after that.

    Liverpool and Utd have both won the same amount of games this season (13) and have both more wins than anyone else in the league this season so your "never back Liverpool to win" statement is flawed. 10/10 for effort but 1/10 for delivery. Post Fail imo.

    It's best not to post at all if its going to be as ridiculous as that;)

    Thats your opinion like mine.its an opinion and based on bets Ive placed and won and lost.

    Same way if you backed teams and the same team lost you bets more than 5-6 times you would have an opinion on it .

    true ??? Yes
