    Good luck with the 0-0’s Wasp.
    first half’s, start of the season games can be cagey.
    You could be on to something.

    Cheers Nath. First time trial and will run it for first 4 weeks of each season. Only need to get lucky once. I’ll post my profit/loss on it. Had to knock off a couple of teams in the end. The number of bets were getting out of control with 252 bets, 240 etc were all stacking up

    Draws at Derby, Shrewsbury and Blackpool. All around the 9/4 mark, £1.25 trixie plus a both to score 6fold on matches picked out of a hat.

    Here we go again :wacko:

    Blooming ell when I checked sporting life and seen the sea of yellow I was not amused. Got 4/9 which is not bad. Bolton scoring just before half time screwed me. There was an abnormal amount of goals. Couldn’t see that coming. Thank goodness for Frankels babes. That’s all I can say

    Just one winner from my five picks and that was a bloody horse on the circus thread… :unsure:
    £10 down today and I was thinking it could of been worse had I dug a little deeper so not much damage done.
    However I got 6 correct results from the Super Six selections and didn’t have a single penny on, I went to check what position I was in the overall leaderboard thinking I’d be quite high only to see myself 70,089. A few correct scores could of seen me a bit higher. I suppose it’s not bad in the grand scale of things as Jeff Stelling sits in 816,642 place.

    Just under a week to go for the big kick off.
    I’m looking at the highest scoring team odds and think Liverpool could represent a bit of value at 9’s, trouble is the 9/1 is with all the firms I’m not with, a lot of fuddy duddy ones popping up and disappearing lately. Not worry though as L’pool have a tricky opening set of fixtures so could drift anyway. They were 6th top scorers last season but only about 6 goals behind City in the end and it was when Kloop took over the goals started to flow. Plenty of attacking options and with the defence seen as a possible weakness it could be they look to out score sides.

    Have been looking at some of the markets in the City v Sunderland game.
    City look the banker and it would be nice to start the season if Aguero could get a good start in the goal market and bang in a few. Half time varies from 1/2 to 7/10 but I’d want a minimum of evens at the moment with Sunderland likely to play everyone defend. The win to nil is evens with Boylesports and that looks better than half time odds in my eyes on account of I feel Sunderland will park the bus. If Sunderland do not park the bus and go for goals I can see City running up a cricket score so my thinking is to play the win to nil at around the even mark and maybe take a chance on landing a correct score or if I’m feeling lucky a scorecast.

    I think despite City not being too strong in defence I believe they should see Sunderland off here. A lot could depend on the Black Cats tactics, Like I said previous. They would take 0-0 here on the opening game of the season and view a point as a big one. I cannot see them being expansive and 0-0 is an option but City have the firepower to get at least one and the win to nil should be odds on in my view.

    You’ve got a nice price there Daz at 20/1.
    Higuain is a player I like. They are certainly capable of going very far into the competition and I’m not sure if the top three are as scary as previous years although still very strong. Good luck mate.

    Heard on the radio Darren that Juve are still seeking the Champs League more than ever this season and will rest players in serie A as and when. 20s is fair and could go all the way. Winning it maybe just beyond them. GL

    Seagulls win tonight and begin the journey of a nice couple of treble/ fourfolds for the weekend. ;-)

    At the prices Tottenham, Luton, Burnley are others I fancy this weekend. Beginning of season so discipline is the key.

    Shall do a selection of 0-0 half time correct scores again.

    SkyBet boost 6s to 9s looks interesting but another radio programme really fancied Newcastle to get rolled over. I’m not so sure. The boost is worth taking this weekend at the prices

    And just clocked that paddies have boosted Tottenham City double to 3s. So isn’t that backing Spurs to win at Everton at 3/1 :yes:

    I wouldn’t bet against Newcastle but after last week the longer they stay level or if they fall behind it could be interesting to see how the fans react even at this early stage. Personally I think they will win tomorrow and had lined up them to be ahead at half time at 13/10 in a double with Aguero to get player of the year 12/1 with sportsbook but it seems they will only allow the Aguero bet in singles. If he stays fit he gets a minimum of 25 goals, he was missing games last season and it always took him a game or two to regain his sharpness and considering Kane played all 38 games he can be considered a tad unlucky not to have got top scorer last year. I’ve predicted Spurs to draw tomorrow but like you say 3/1 with Paddy’s offer your 99.99% certain to collect if Spurs do win.

    Newcastle have a bit to prove after last week, hopefully the crowd can act as an extra man. I was eyeing up half time at 13/10 last night so the slight drift has tempted me in and I see nothing in the line up to suggest they should not win. Huddersfield do have a better age balance to their squad this year but at £4.00 nothing to lose.

    29/20 Newcastle to be winning at Half Time £4.00

    -£174.00
