The Manchester Derby

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

RESULT!

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.

14th April

Tottenham v Arsenal

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 :(

13th April

Chelsea v Bolton

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

FA Cup Betting

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.

8th April

Europa League

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

21st December

December was looking OK

December was looking ok until yesterday when I took a nasty hit!

Yesterday shows a loss of £167 mainly on 3 late evening foreign draws :(

Here’s a screenshot of the month so far

£278 profit from football still isn’t so bad, it’s better than making a loss, hopefully I’ve taken the nasty hit and can build up some more profit from the Christmas fixtures!
