That 7/2 on Swansea is very tempting.

My main bet at the moment for the first day in the Prem is a first goal scorer combo. I've had some success with these in the past and they can pay very well if they come off (just they rarely do!)

All the new boys ....

Bony First Goal Swansea v Man United
Van Wolfswinkel First Goal Norwich v Everton

If Soldado comes I'll have him in there too. No odds up yet but I think this could fetch a good price.

scatman carruthers

Wow didn't know Van Wolfswinkel had joined .class talent he should notch up a fair few goals this year

Dio On The Doubles

Yeah he's signed on the dotted line a while back for them. I have him sitting in my fantasy team already waiting to go. I really think Norwich could do well this year .

Thinking about the Swansea United game I think I'll hit the Swansea win and BTTS for that. I think United should get a goal at least although Swansea might have the final say. Interesting to see what the odds are when they go up.

Dio On The Doubles

The price on Swansea has risen to 9/2

I will wait a little to see if it rises further but considering Swansea single and mixed with Chelsea -1 against Hull when it's available.

One concern on Chelsea with the Spanish national team playing in South America a few days before, Mourinho admitted he may not start those lads for the first game. Mata of main concern, Torres not so much. They should still have more than enough to bring a handicap in against Hull at home.

hey dio, what book do you usually use? i'm on the hunt for the best odds, too, though i bet on asian handicap and 1x2 most of the time. i find it too risky to bet on first goal scorers.

I always use Powers or bet365 for the first goalscorers market, accumulators, specials etc. Powers anytime coupons are extremely handy too for a small flutter. Powers have started a W-D-W and BTTS coupon now too which is something that will save me a lot of time as I go for that market a lot in doubles. I have my betfair account also for more serious single bets to usually get the better price. I am going to sign up to Coral this season also as they have some great markets. I use WilliamHills sometimes also as they offer match result and match goals combo market plus a few other great markets. Some of the other lads in here with accounts in other bookies can probably advise you better to I don't have a massive collection of accounts under my wing. Just remembered I have a Boyles account too but I rarely use it. The goal assist market is there but I never bother with it. For the Asian markets you mentioned I always took them on bet365 but there are probably better sites.

I never do a first goalscorers double or treble for more than 2 or 3 euro usually, except on odd occasion if I have a really good feeling about it might stretch to a whopping 5!. I do them every week during competitive football though. I've had one in particular pay off really well but usually they're just for sheer interest in the games.

Maybe it's because it was the first bookies I signed up to but I find Powers the best interface to get around. Bet365 does my nut in, gotten used to it's navigation now but I still think it's really awkward and a beast to run as it's written in so much flash (my laptop is a bit dated )

edit: last part should have been posted in the season long outright accum thread.

Dio On The Doubles

After all that I forgot the reason I originally came in to this thread was to post a bet I took that may be of interest ..

Team to score most goals on first match day on Powers

Chelsea 9/2 .. they play Hull at home. I took 20 on this.

Places a cheeky 2 on Swansea 35/1 and 3 on City 6/1

Thanks! Think I'll try paddy on some goalscorer markets and accumulators one of these days...just a small stake. I have a 365 account too but I mainly use it on tennis outrights. Too many markets there in football often drive me nuts. LOL! So far I mainly use sbobet (link to site if you haven't heard of it)which was introduced to me in another thread (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056953428) . I find it pretty easy to navigate and they got some of the best football odds too on asian handicap. Satisfied so far but I'm still looking for other markets to dabble with other than 1x2 and hdp

If your team scores the equal most goals is the bet void or a loss?

Sounds like a bookies market to me if i'm honest

Fair point I'm not sure what happens in a dead heat it says 'Singles Only. Applies to Premier League Matches for weekend August 17-19. All weekend Premier League games count including Monday. Rule 4 May Apply. Dead Heat Rules Apply.'

I just took it as I fancied Chelsea to put a good few past Hull first game in and possibly City too against Newcastle.

akthung

Anyone seen the top team goalscorer market in 365? does 'win only' mean a refund if they lose? thanks!

Am I insane doing a double on Norwich/Swansea at 12/1???

Yep. Not sure why people think Swansea might beat Utd.

Because Swansea are a good team and strong at home, United have lost their driving force over the past 20 odd years , have signed nobody and have had quite a poor pre season?

mike65

Arsenal V Aston Villa
Chelsea V Hull
Man City V Newcastle

all +2.5 if I was going for an accu, or maybe just three home wins.

SheldonC17

Arsenal win and BTTS at 2.7 will be my main bet for the weekend.

Also Chelsea (-2), Man City and Sunderland DNB at 4/1 deserves a few pound.

i don't think it's impossible for swans to beat united, given united's preseason form. also, a handicap would give them or rather you a better chance of winning. haha.

Same for Arsenal v Villa!

Thinking of lumping a fair bit on Spurs away to Palace. Reckon theyll win very easily.
Maybe double with Chelsea

Bultip

Some great opening games. Liverpool has ambitions for top four, and kept their top player Luiz Suarez which will get rid of all his negative energy in this game against Stoke City. Stoke City plays very defensive football until the first goal they concede. I expect Liverpool to score in the first 20 minutes of the game their first game and win the game with 3:0.

Another great bet is over for the game between Arsenal and Aston Villa. Two very great attacks with top forward players. Three goals is the minimum that will be scored, over 3,5 goals is also a nice bet.

Sunderland - Fulham is an under 2,5 goals, Fulham with their defensive game and Sunderland, lacking a good attack.

Bultip

Also I would add wins for Manchester United, Tottenham and handicap win for Chelsea.

First game for Moyes and he would like to start his career in Manchester with a win. Swansea is not from the toughest opponents and is way out of the class of Manchester United.

Tottenham has new players in their squad, key ones in the face of Soldado and Paulinho. If their game is even on 60-70% of their aiblity I expect a win against Crystal Palace as their performance would be the key for the win.

For Chelsea not much should be said. Great players, great ambitions, against the modest Hull City on Stamfford Bridge.

Daemos

Was in Ladbrokes today and on a whim put €5 on one of their Soccer Saturday Yes/No offers

Arsenal to score three or more goals? YES
Norwich or Everton winning at half-time? YES
West Ham to beat Cardiff? NO
Three or more goals in West Brom vs Southampton? NO
Both teams to score in at least four 3pm games? YES
Any goal after 89th minute in any 3pm games? NO

Probably could have gotten better odds as an accum online, but 33/1 seems decent enough

Nah, just objective view. The team has ambitions, as I was following what the main people in the club are saying but I don't expect them to finish even in top 5. If they sell Suarez they would finish 8th or 9th. And as I expected the team played great in forward plan, but the lack of luck didn't get me the handicap win. It was Liverpool at Anfield against Stoke City after all.
