    Bet of the Day: Another Dutch Goalfest
    Do you ever get the feeling that you can influence a football match just by betting on it? Maybe its just me but when an apparent ‘banker’ loses there can only be one explanation – I backed it! We’ll that’s how it felt after yesterday’s result at Fratton Park. That was a sore one – but onwards and upwards eh? I’m going back...

    Phil O’Donnell
    I just wanted to pay my own little tribute to Phil O’Donnell. I had the privilege of seeing him play for Celtic over a few seasons and he always struck me as being a nice guy with a great attitude. He made a blinding debut, scoring two goals but was blighted by injuries throughout his career. It’s devastating that such a life should be cut short and little...

    Bet of Day: Play Up Pompey
    From my last post you’ll see that I’m backing Portsmouth to beat Middlesboro today. Pompey may not have scored at home since September but I don’t think they’ll get a better chance than today. I decided a while ago to oppose Boro at every opportunity and it makes sense to do so today again as they face a tricky one at Fratton Park. Pompey have to...

    Selectabet’s Big Six
    I always get worried when I look at the fixture list and think it looks easy.  On paper there looks a few bankers today, here’s hoping… In the Premier League, I have to continue with my run of backing Boro to get beat. Today they’re away to a Portsmouth side who haven’t scored a goal at Fratton Park since September. That doesn’t exactly fill...

    Bet of the Day: Go for Goals in Holland
    There’s not much football action today so we’re off to Holland in search of a win. I’ve had a look at the 5 games there tonight and the stand out bet seems to be in the Utrecht v Excelsior match. According to BetDevil (a great little site for stats) the probability of there being over 2.5 goals in this one stands at a staggering 92%. Yes 92% – I...

    Boxing Day Betting
    I hope you all had a good Chrimbo and Santa was good to you. Here’ s hoping we have an even better Boxing Day at the bookies. In the Premier League I’m going to keep on backing Boro to get beat. I’m convinced this will win me more money than I’ll lose. Today they’re away to Alex McLeish’s Birmingham and I think Big Eck can claim another...
