  • Bet: Gunning for Goals at the Emirates
    Just a quick one for now. I’ve gone with Over 2.5 goals at the Emirates. 1.88 at Bet Direct. Will fill in more detail later. Right, I’m writing this now knowing that Arsenal won 2-1, scoring 2 goals in the last ten minutes. Phew! I didn’t see the game but managed to listen to about the first hour. I really thought it was a banker home win but last season...

  • Bet: Play up Pompey
    After weighing up Pompey’s poor away form versus the big step up that Derby face I eventually opted for Portsmouth on the Asian with 0 goals (therefore if its a draw I get my money back – so effectively Draw No Bet). Bit of a rush today so sorry I’ve not got time to write a wee bit more on this. Selection: Portsmouth win on Asian Handicap (0). £65.97...

  • 3 days till the big kick off
    With less than 3 days to go until the English leagues kick off I’ve had a sneaky look at some of the Premiership games already to see if there is any early value; Pick of the bunch seems to be Pompey away to Derby. There is no doubt Derby will struggle this year. Ithink by their own admission they have probably been promoted a year too early. The gap between finishing...

  • Edinburgh Derby
    Ok, I’m a bit sore after the St.Johnstone result on Saturday. I can’t believe that 2 games in and I’ve broken my own rules already by betting on the win-draw-win market. I promised myself only to go with Asian Handicaps, Over/Under and any kind of bet with just 2 outcomes. Idiot! Anyway, I’ve had a quick look at the Hearts v Hibs game tonight –...

  • Bet: St.Johnstone to see off Queens
    Doesn’t pre-season seem to get shorter and shorter each year? Today sees the start of the season in Scotland, with the lunchtime clash between Inverness Caley and Rangers kicking us off. I’ve taken a good look at the 4 SPL fixtures today but can’t really make case for getting involved in any of them. ICT have a good record against Rangers recently and...

  • SPL Preview – The Big Kick Off
    This weekend sees the start of the Clydesdale Bank Scottish Premier League so I thought I’d take a look at the runners and riders. I’ll not be having a flutter on the outcome, after all it is a 2-horse race but I’ll have a go at predicting how they’ll finish. Aberdeen – After a good season last year, can they sustain their claim to being the...
