It's been a while...

Ok now I know I havent posted anytning for a while but I came across some odds the other day, albeit after the game and I thought to myself, what a fantastic bet that would have been.

Andy Carroll to score first and Newcastle to win 1-0 at the Emirates.  Tough bet, but defo worth a punt and even more so when the odds are 125-1!!

Now thats £1250 for just a £10 stake.  Incredible.

Unfortunately my bet on Wednesday night, Tevez 1-0 was only 25-1 and obviously didnt come in.  Ah well.

I will have to look at this weekends fixtures and call the shots once again...

Until then

Dave

Ps I am still top of my fantasy football league by about 100 points -  football genius?  you decide!

The Premiership 18th September 2010

So if you followed my advice last weekend you would have lost about £2 and to be honest it could have been worth if Fulham had not scored in the last minute.

This weekend my money would go on Everton to beat Newcastle and Stoke to beat West Ham.

Daves Football Tips on The Premiership today - September 11th 2010

Hello readers!

For once its been a nice international break.  A 4-0 win for England against Bulgaria and an even more impressive 3-1 victory for England vs Switzerland.  England are already well on their way to qualifying for Euro 2012, not that it will do much good...

But international football is not where the money is at.  Instead look no further than the premiership today.  There are two bets that take my fancy.

The first is Fulham to beat Wolves at home.  Fulham, now under Mark Hughes are still a very tasty unit with Zamora wanting to prove his worth having just signed a new contract.  Wolves, although dogged and have several workhorses in every position, they simply dont have the class of Fulham and will struggle on their travels.

Paddy Power is best with Fulham at 5/6 and I'd recommened sticking a score on this one.  That's a win of £16.66 for a £20 stake totalling £36.66 returned.


The second bet is Tottenham. With Defoe and Dawson picking up long-term injuries and Crouch just coming back from one, there is a strong feeling that Tottenham are going to struggle, especially away from home as they often do.  However, there opponents are just no match for the North London outfit whose squad has improved remarkabably over the past year or so.  They have enough matchwinners like Bale, Modric, Keane (on his day) and Lennon to take the game to West Brom and win up in the Midlands.

So again with Paddy Power at evens, stick another £20 on Spurs to be victorious.  That's a £20 win for a £20 stake and therefore £40 returned.

So thats a total of £36.66 of winnings from a £40 stake.  Not a bad days work.

You can of course do an accumulator of the two bets - this gives you odds of 3.66-1 giving you £73.33 returned.  However, there is nearly as much to gain as there is to lose so I'd prefer to run to single bets on this.

Re my previous post of West Brom to be relegated, West Brom have dropped from 11/10 to 10/11 and with some tough encounters including Tottenham today, expect these odds to drop further.  If you havnt done so already, stick some money on West Brom to go down and you'll be in for a sure fire win!

That's enough of DavesFootballTips for one day - I have to get ready for my dose of Premiership football starting with Everton vs Manchester United - that should be a cracking game!  My prediction?  1-1 but this one is hard to call so personally I wouldnt bother.

Happy betting!

Daves Football Tips on England

I wanted to write this before the game but couldnt get home in time.

Why?  Well, my views on betting on England are pretty simple really.

Don't bet on England!!

The problem with England is you never know what you're gonna get.

They perform when they feel like it, as we unfortunately saw in the World Cup 2010 and dont perform when its most important they do!  Ah well.

Furthermore, international games are close calls yet the bookies make the most ridicoulous odds - Russia 1/100 to beat Andorra for example.  Spain on the same odds to beat Liechtenstien i can understand, but who is really going to take that Russia bet?
Then you have underperforming Italy.  No star players at the moment, a World Cup that ended in shambles, and a style of football that never sees goals.  So away to Estonia you would expect a 1-0 but you never know exactly and at 2-7 is there really a point in betting on it?  Answer = NO.

Stay tuned for next week's Premiership fixtures...

The Relegation Battle

So the start of the season has got underway and there is a long long way to go...

Blackpool are the bookies favourites to go down despite a 4-0 thrashing at Wigan.

Yet it is Wigan for me that I believe are favourites to go down and at 5/6 with William Hill, it is hard to pass up this bet.

West Brom at 11/10 is another fantastic bet - in fact this may be better than Wigan as it has more value in it!

Yet with West Ham playing so badly and on the verge of bankruptcy and Blackpool who simply dont have any money to spend on players it is already looking like 4 teams fighting it out for that elusive 17th spot. 

A bet on West Brom today and another bet on Wigan either today or after their home game with Sunderland (providing they win of course) are almost certain winners!

Ouch!

Ok so not the greatest start to my football punditing but it was a close call.

How often do you see Man Utd conceding injury time goals?

Ah well I only put a tenner on it and I won a tenner on the lottery so all's fair and square

Stay tuned for my next tip...

Dave

My first tip is for a Man Utd win

Fulham have lost one or two key players and their star keeper is about to go to Arsenal.  Robbie Stockdale cannot produce a similar display to the one he did last week and this week they are up against tougher opposition. 
In Man Utd there are so many match winners that will rile the Fulham defence time and time and in the end their hard work will pay off.

Paddy Power is best at 8/13 so a tenner will get you £16.15 back.

Certainly wont win you a fortune but every little helps (think I stole Tesco's motto there!)

Of course the higher the stale the higher your payout but I wouldnt bet more than £50 (wins you £30.77)

Welcome to my Blog!

The idea behind this blog is to give you lot some help in finding some great football bets...

Now before I tell you what to bet on let me be clear on this - the bookies are always favourites to win.  FACT. 

Yet somehow we all disregard this and still head down to our local bookies.  And if there is money to be made, why the hell not!

So here is my most important tip
  • Never think you have sussed a way to win.  Every game is different to the next and should be thought about on its own.
With the right bet on the right game there is always an opportunity to bag yourself some cash!

So without further delay here is the first tip of the day!
