£20,000 Challenge: Bet of the Day No.44

It’s back! After a winter shutdown – much needed in light of my poor results – I’m picking up the Challenge again with half the season left. Unfortunately the Scandanavian leagues, from which I enjoyed a great deal of success, are all in hibernation so I need to work a wee bit harder to get things back on track.

I recently altered my staking plan – limiting myself to £100 bets in order to stem the shrinking of my balance and I’m going to stick with that for a wee while more.

With quite a few games off across the UK today there’s not too much to choose from but the stand-out Overs bet looks to be in the Scottish Division 3 game between Cowdenbeath and Dumbarton. There’s a histoory of goals when these two meet – all of the last 10 have seen at least 2 goals scored, with 7 of those finishing Over 2.5.

Both sides have been involved in a few goalsfests lately too with 7 of Cowdenbeath’s last 10 seeing over 2 goals, and 8 of Dumbarton’s. Both sides may also hand debuts to new strikers that have just signed so hopefully they’ll be looking to make their mark.

Selection: Over 2.5 goals – Cowdenbeath v Dumbarton. £100 @ 1.76 with Bet365
