Week 10, no return

At the week 10 mark, probably a quarter of the way in, summary...

I'm shit and i'm lucky to be in profit. Just 2 profitable weeks out of the 10, of which included 4 weeks without any return at all.
I need to try and stick to 1X2 markets as much as possible now.
Also a note to self , go ante post betting in weeks 9 and 10 next year instead, presuming international breaks are the same.

I've also just added one last bet on Bradford again. Gillingham are flying and dont look like stopping but with only a quarter of games played i like the place value on Bradford, i really cant understand why they are still so big. They've recruited well and have used Alan Connell sparingly, he will start scoring regualy for them in weeks to come. Bradford sit 5th at present time, 12pts behind the leaders.
My call is Gillingham, Port Vale and Bradford will be bunched at the top for the automatic promotion places. I can see Fleetwood dropping into the Playoff positions with Rotherham, Cheltenham and one other.

Bradford £20 e.w @ 22/1 Paddy Power, 3 places, 1/4 odds

I also have £3 win and place on Gateshead, which i can forget, along with the Oxford bet.

You should go with the picks you have in the predictor league ya stuffy cnut, another week when I thought I'd clawed a few points back only to see you get another bastard correct score draw banker bonus

Stuffy? I hope that doesnt mean lucky up your way I even posted up last weeks banker score in the weekend thread, nobody listened! ....not even me
But yes, i'm flying in that comp', 216th out of 71,815 at present Maybe i should follow my banker score, 3 correct from 8 so far.

Hotspur you are probably right, but if i was a bookie i wouldn't have them in double figures even for those reasons. They are my banker e.w antepost bet of the season.
They've got plenty of good league 1 and 2 players in their squad, they are the best supported and many a team have their blips from now until xmas, i think Bradford have already had theirs.
They'll be as short as 5/1 by the end of January.


Week 11

(Tues)
Bolton DNB @ 23/20
Ipswich @ 11/8
Bradford @ 6/4

£2 Trixie, Betvic

Nice one Punt, the Bolton DNB was a cracking pick, just a pity those bastards Derby let you down.

Not a brilliant choice of staking from me there Slick and i haven't got a clue why i'd want to back a team at the wrong end of the table. Bradford were my main target for a bet all along and i tried boosting with a trixie, i got a bit greedy. £8 staked, £5 returned from that bet.

I'm a bit pissed off i didnt place this bet straight after last nights games as i could of taken Bradford at the weekend again @ 15/8, i've come back today and they're into 13/8 now....

Bradford @ 13/8
Hereford @ 15/8

2 x £9 wins
1 x £4 double.

That's my £30 total staked for week 11

Having a tenner on top again..

Gareth Bale to score/Spurs to win, £6 @ 100/30
Gareth Bale to score 2 or more, £3 @ 10/1
Gareth Bale Hat-trick, £1 @ 50/1

Bale scores Spurs win, wasn't enough for a profitable weekend the way i went about my staking though. Hereford drew, Bradford lost.

Cheers Rushin' and yes you're right Liverpool do need to improve, but then again so do Arsenal and Spurs.

I see you're a gooner Rushin and i've nothing against Arsenal at all but you've become a bit of a buy, sell, buy sell club in recent seasons, not much continuity there anymore. Brilliant football some games but not consistant enough. I think Arsenal got found out at home to Chelsea and they know they're not top 3 anymore.
The other thing that i think might go against Arsenal this season is that they've qualified for the Champions League for 15 consecutive seasons now, without winning it, i just get the feeling that, that run has a chance of ending with the current squad and the way the board are going about their business. I could be wrong of course but selling RVP after Song and Fabregas, Toure, Adebyor, Clichy and all, i think there's a chance Arsenal going in the wrong direction might speed up a bit this season??
I think we're all agreed who'll finish top 3 but a best price of 10/11 for 4th, gooners may finish 4th but i wouldn't be confident if i was on at that price. Too many owners at the club too.

Spurs i thought were more likely but i get the feeling they're relying to much on Gareth Bale in recent games, a loss to Norwich in the cup followed by a loss at home to Wigan, i see the new manager got lots of boos for taking off Defoe on Saturday too, it's a bit new and a bit uncertain at Spurs this season and i think some of the boys are missing 'arry. And i know Bale signed a new contract but i think he must be wondering about Barca, Madrid or either of the two Manchester clubs.... anyway i dont see value in 9/4 there either at present.

Everton 11/2, value? Plenty of goalscorers, not a great defence, top 6 but top 4? I dont even want to talk about them tbh.

Liverpool, well you all tell me what you see at Liverpool, obviously i'll get told i'm backing with the heart and not the head, but 9/1? We've got Luis Suarez ffs, whatever your opinion of him is he's hungry as fuck, 24 and a real desire to succeed. And you know he's been showing signs of hitting some top form lately. We've a real young hungry squad around him now and they are improving with every game, yes i know we're not scoring and winning enough at present and what if we lose Suarez to injury, but we'll dip in the market in January, all we feel we need is one other striker, not necesarliy and expensive one, just a good experienced one.
I could go on with my optimism but one other thing that's in our favour and i think it's a big factor here is there's nowhere near the same pressure on us finishing 4th as there is on Arsenal and Spurs, our owners and manager are going long term while there is added financial pressures on the other two. Having such a young squad we've lowered expectations, this will work in our favour i'm sure.

I've probably just wasted an hour chatting shit here but thats my bet for this week, i'd of probably not bothered if i'd seen 9/2 or 5/1 quoted but It's early November, were just 6pts off 4th place, and lets face it i'm not upto much on my coupon of late so i might aswell go with this

My mate at work is a Villa fan Colbro and he's been saying Bent to Liverpool for nearly 18 months to me now, just last week he was saying we still owe you money for Downing and a deal might be done with him going back and Bent coming our way.
I dont know though, i cant see the swap deal, but Bent keeps being mentioned, personally i'd of been happier if it was Agbonlahor being mentioned.

I remember that night well Rushin', i'd backed Liverpool to win the league and cup, in March @ 7/2 & 100/30, singles and a double, we'd already bagged the cup and i was convinced i was going get the double up for a £120 pay out , I couldn't believe it as i watched in the pub. I got arrested later that night for being drunk and disorderly, had a hundred pound fine for it a few weeks later. Michael Thomas eh.

Iiving in the pacific hey, well I can better that, I was holidaying in a leaking caravan in Rhyl and watched the game on wee 12" portable.

I was a neutral and admit to having a soft spot for Liverpool but got so embroiled in the game by the end of it I was clapping Mickey Thomas's finish, at the time it was probably the best game I had ever seen.

It was a classic end of season decider for sure. I'm going to quickly move on and try and forget about it again lol
