Football Betting Tipsby Simon, last updated 2010-03-05 00:35:32Premiership Betting Tips - 6th - 8th March 20106 March 2010 Arsenal (1.14) Draw (9) Burnley (23) This is the most one sided games I've seen in a while. I can't remember the last time I saw a Premiership game with the home side at 1.14. Its practically stealing money from the bookies. Not much point explaining this one. Some other bets worth considering for a better price are over 2.5 goals at 1.44 at Skybet and over 3.5 at 2.1 at PaddyPower. I can see Arsenal putting 4 past a hapless Burnley side. West Ham (1.83) Draw (3.6) Bolton (5) West Ham come in to this off the back off two home wins and an away defeat to Manchester United. With the side more or less at full strength now, they look the strongest out of those at the bottom of the league and should be able to pull themselves out. Bolton pulled themselves out of the relegation zone with a 1-0 win over fellow strugglers Wolves last week. Bolton's troubles seem to stem from not being able to score. Only 2 goals in the last 6 games. I'll back West Ham this week. Its 1.83 at bluesquare. Wolverhampton (11) Draw (5) Manchester United (1.33) Wolves fielded a weaken side in the reverse fixture and were duly spanked 3-0 at Old Trafford. I can't see Mick McCarthy doing the same again. I haven't seen anything from Wolves this season that makes me think they can get anything here, strongest side or not. Manchester United have had trouble away from home this season losing 5 games. I don't see any problem for Man U here. If anything I can see Man U with the weakened side. Odds are 1.33 at William Hill. A nicer bet is the to win to nil, thats 2.2 at bluesquare. I can't see Wolves scoring. 7 March 2010 Everton (1.4) Draw (4.8) Hull (10) Everton's good run came to an end last week with a loss to Spurs. They deserved a point but just started badly and Spurs were 2-0 up at half time. They have won the last 5 home games though and this should be number 6. Hull seemed to have picked up a bit of form but then had back to back away losses to Blackburn and West Ham. This game is not going to be any easier. Its 1.4 at PaddyPower or 2.25 on the win to nil market at bluesquare. Again, I don't see Hull scoring here so thats a good bet. 8 March 2010 Wigan (6.5) v Draw (4) Liverpool (1.62) No win for Wigan in 10 and they are slipping closer to that relegation zone. I think Wigan will have enough to stay up but they won't get anything out of this. Liverpool can't really afford to slip up now with the race for 4th place being so tight. With the 3 key players, Gerrard, Torres and Benayuan all more or less fit and playing now, they seem to be able to nick those wins while not playing that well overall - well against Blackburn anyway. Odds are currently 1.62 at most bookies. If, like me you think that all the games are one-sided and there will be no upsets then the 5 fold pays 6.19 at Skybet. FA Cup Matches 6th - 7th March 20106 March 2010 Portsmouth (2.62) Draw (3.4) Birmingham (3) When the draw was made, you'd have thought that Birmingham would have been favourites for this game. Since then, Portsmouth have gone in to administration and really only have this to play for now. They are definitely relegated this year. Its not like they have given up in the league though with a good away win at Burnley. Birmingham's form has turned back to normality. They have the form of a mid table side now rather than a team chasing for a Champions League spot. Tricky fixture to call. Looking at 1X here. I can't decide. A draw if you held a gun to my head but not bet for me. Fulham (3.1) Draw (3.4) Tottenham (2.5) Fulham have picked up form. They have won their last 3 home games and drawn their last 2 away only comceeding a single goal. They'll not make Europe again this year so this is really the only thing they got to play for. Spurs have picked up recently too. On their day, they look irresistible but they do have the odd bad day. England goal scorer hero, Peter Crouch, will probably be on the bench as Pavlyuchenko is on such good form. I am leaning to 1X here. I don't see why Spurs are the favourites. I do like Fulham +0.25 on the Asian Handicap. Its 1.88 at bet365. 7 March 2010 Reading (4.5) Draw (3.6) Aston Villa (1.85) Reading's good cup run has lead them to a good league run too. 5 wins out of the last 6 have pulled them clear of the drop zone. All good things must come to an end though. I can see this is where it ends. Villa are disappointed with the Carling Cup loss which they may have won if Vidic would have been sent off. They'll be keen to get back down to Wembley. 1.85 at William Hill for the Villa win. I see this as a great Premiership side versus an average Championship side and you aren't getting much less than even money for it. Chelsea (1.3) Draw (6) Stoke (12) Terrible display from Chelsea last weekend. They looked like they were going to win comfortably after they scored but some terrible defending an 2 men being sent off let City win 4-2. Chelsea are just not Chelsea this season. Stoke were unlucky to lose to Arsenal. They shouldn't have had a man sent off and that second goal was not a penalty. It'd take a brave man to back against Chelsea losing twice in a row and I am not that brave. I can't be backing Chelsea at 1.3 though. Looking though the bets, one that stands out is both teams to score. Its 2.1 at Ladbrokes. With the Delap's long throws and Chelsea's suspect defending I can see Stoke nicking a goal. ← Prev 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257 258 259 260 261 262 263 264 265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274 275 276 277 278 279 280 281 282 283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290 291 292 293 294 295 296 297 298 299 300 301 302 303 304 305 306 307 308 309 310 311 312 313 314 315 316 317 318 319 320 321 322 323 324 325 326 Next → |
