Boxing Day Betting

Hopefully everyone’s had a great christmas, I am having another christmas dinner today, I love them!

So there’s a full fixture list today, some early games kicking off, Tottenham v Fulham looks like a goal fest but with overs at 1.72 it seems a bit low, so minimal bet on that because I think it could well be overs.

Tottenham v Fulham, Over 2.5 goals, £50 at odds of 1.72

Chelsea v Aston Villa could be an interesting one, I’m swayed towards unders here but at 1.82 I wont take the risk, Chelsea will be looking for revenge after losing 2-0 to Villa earlier in the season so we could end up with a goal fest, who knows but i’m out!

West Ham v Reading could go either way, I think a draw lay will do on this.

West Ham v Reading, draw lay, £50 at odds of 3.7

Looking in the Championship i’m going to risk Colchester v Southampton over 2.5 goals, it’s about time they started banging them in a bit more and boxing day might just bring it on.

Colchester v Southampton, over 2.5goals, £50 at odds of 1.88

I’d like to have a bet on Derby v Liverpool but without knowing Rafa’s team it’s a bit difficult, but then any side he puts out should win this game, win odds of 1.32 aren’t very attractive, but over 2.5 goals at 1.82 are!

Derby v Liverpool, over 2.5 goals, £70 at odds of 1.82

And that concludes todays betting ;o)

Football Betting Blog update

It’s been a few weeks since any bets have been posted, so i’ll just update on the last bets first.

Liverpool went and lost 3-1 at Reading, so the Liverpool win bet was blown out, luckily the over 2.5 goals bet covered that and a £14 profit was had on that game.

Osasuna v Valencia finished 0-0 so a loss of £120

Ath Bilbao v Real Madrid finished 0-1 so a profit of £50 on that game.

There will be a few games to bet on boxing day and over the weekend so I will post a few bets on boxing day morning.

Have a great Christmas :)

8th December

Reading v Liverpool

The midweek correct score in the AC Milan v Celtic game came up trumps, a profit of £230, which handsomely covered the £100 loss on Saints overs, typically saints easily got overs today!

So onto todays bet, Reading v Liverpool, Liverpool starting with an atttacking lineup of Voronin, Crouch and Torres, Jack Hobbs taking Hypia’s place at the back, so the bets:

Over 2.5 goals, £100 at odds of 2.14
Liverpool to win £100 at odds of 1.59

also, some La Liga games tonight so will have some draw lay bets on

Osasuna v Valencia, draw lay £50 at odds of 3.4
Ath Bilbao v Real Madrid, draw lay att odds of 3.5

Tuesday Night Betting

Well sunday was a bit of a wash out with only the spurs overs coming in! so a loss of £79 overall there.

OK a full set of Championship fixtures tonight so first bet is….

Southampton v Sheff Wed, over 2.5 goals, £100 at odds of 1.80
it’s about time the Saints games started becoming overs again every week and with a dodgy defence i’m sure there will be goals here.

AC Milan v Celtic looks a bit dodgy to say the least, with Celtic only needing a draw, the odds for the draw are now at 2.16, yesterday they were sub 2.0! 0-0 was 4.5 but has now drifted to 5.0s

I will place a few of bets on this game, they are:

Correct Score 0-0 £50 at odds of 4.9
Correct Score 1-1 £50 at odds of 5.3
Correct Score 1-0 £50 at odds of 8.0
Correct Score 0-1 £20 at odds of 17.5

Now watch it be goals galore!!

Windy Sunday

Well our Sunday League game has been called off due to rain and wind, so at least I get to stay in the warm!

The W Bremen v Real Madrid over 2.5 goals bet came in easily, the Liverpool one would have too, but the Bremen game gave me winnings of £109.50.

So to todays games, Liverpool v Bolton, which i’d like to bet on, the odds aren’t that good for anything, a Liverpool win is at 1.35 and over 2.5 goals at 1.91, I think i’ll place a small bet on under 2.5 goals, £50 at odds of 2.08

There are some ties in the FA Cup 2nd round today too, I will have a bet on the Port Vale v Chasetown game, £100 on over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.73

Last bet, Tottenham v Birmingham, I see goals here so again on the over 2.5 goals, £100 at odds of 1.71

Congratulations to Havant & Waterlooville reaching the 3rd round of the FA Cup, I hope they draw one of the big teams away, it’ll be a great occasion for them!
