I think there may be goals in this game today, I’m going for:

Over 2.5 goals: £50 at 2.12 to win £56.00

Manchester United v Manchester City, the big one this lunchtime, important for both teams, United fighting to keep up with Chelsea and City trying to consolidate the 4th place position and the Champions League place that goes with it.

City at home normally creates goals, despite the visitors being United I still think there will be goals, not a goal fest, just enough for Over 2.5 goals to come in, there will also be a winner to, so my bets are:

Over 2.5 goals: £50 at 1.85 to win £42.50
Match Odds: Draw lay £50 at 3.55 with a liability of £127.50

Well the result prediction was wrong but the over 2.5 goals and draw lay came in, a profit of £120 over all in the Tottenham v Arsenal game.

A result that effectively kills off Arsenal’s title challenge, unless Chelsea lose to Spurs and Liverpool along the way that is!

No football bets today from me, there are some Spanish games on tonight but i’ll leave the betting until Saturday lunchtime with the Manchester derby, goals galore? I hope so!

That brings the profit balance for April to £261.50.

A big game for both teams tonight, Arsenal need to win to keep their title chances on track and Spurs need to win to keep on the tail of Man City for 4th place.

I think there will be goals in this game tonight so my bets will be:

Over 2.5 goals – £100 at 1.8 to win £80
Match Odds – Draw lay £50 at 3.65 with a liability of £132.50
Correct Score – 1-3 (to Arsenal) £10 at 19.0 to win £180

Last night saw Chelsea win against Bolton but not destroy them as I predicted, so a total loss of £23 on that game

Tonight sees the ‘easy’ game for Chelsea, according to Alex Ferguson anyway, and I think he will be proven right, Chelsea to spank Bolton in this one tonight, so the obvious bet from me is:

Over 2.5 goals: £100 at 1.50 to win £50
Half Time/Full Time: Chelsea/Chelsea £50 at 1.54 to win £27

Well at least it wasn’t a loss, wins on over 2.5 goals and Chelsea winning meant a profit of £52.50 after the loss on over 2.5 goals in the Spurs v Pompey game, bringing the profit on Betfair in the April Betfair betting to £164.50 from 5 bets.

There are quite a few games in mid-week so i’ll take a look and post any bets i’ll be making.

That means my bet came in, as well as the over 2.5 goals in the Liverpool/Benfica game, £112.00 winnings, less commission at Betfair of course!

It’s FA CUP semi-final weekend! I’m away for the weekend so my bets will be:

Aston Villa v Chelsea
Over 2.5 goals: £50 at 1.87 to win £43.50
Match Odds: £100 on Chelsea at 1.59 to win £59.00

Tottenham v Portsmouth
Over 2.5 goals: £50 at 1.75 to win £37.50

Good luck with your bets!

Tonight see’s the games of the only two English teams left in European competition, Liverpool and Fulham, personally I think both teams will go through to the next round.

My bets for tonight are:
To Qualify: Liverpool/Fulham double – £30 @ 3.3 to win £69
Over 2.5 Goals: Liverpool v Benfica – £50 @ 1.86 to win £43

The World Cup is just around the corner, 11th June is the kick off date so just 15 weeks to go!

I thought i’d take a look at the odds for the winners market, they are:

Spain – 9/2 (5.6)
Brazil – 5/1 (6.2)
England – 6/1 (7.0)
Argentina – 11/1 (12.0)
Italy – 14/1 (15.0)
Germany – 14/1 (15.0)
Netherlands – 16/1 (17.0)
France – 17/1 (18.0)
Ivory Coast – 28/1 (29.0)
Portugal – 31/1 (32.0)

I’m actually impressed with some of the higher odds for teams like Argentina, Germany and Italy which have to be worth a few quid for trading purposes.

Who are you going to be backing?
