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...
