Liverpool have got off to a poor start this season and their only away game at Manchester City was a horror show and a three nil loss. With Dirk Kuyt injured, Joe Cole still suspended and David Ngog uncertain to start the bookies are happy to lay Liverpool. Liverpool are 13/10 for a win, a price unthinkable away to Birmingham a year or two ago. This is a tough place to go and this fixture has produced a draw for [...]
Newcastle are 4/7 to beat Blackpool at Home and it seems a bit too short against a stubborn Blackpool side which have been surprisingly competent in the Premiership this season. I think Newcastle will win, so I am not that tempted by the 3’s available on the draw or the 5’s available on Blackpool. These teams have been involved in high scoring games this year and the the Magpies won this fixture last year 4-1. Both teams have gained four [...]
Button to win Monza Grand Prix 7-1 each way top 3 finish
England have been trimmed to 7/1 to win Euro 2012 after opening their qualifying campaign with a 4-0 victory over Bulgaria. And a comfortable victory couldn’t have come at a better time for Capello’s men as they face what is on paper their toughest task in Basle tomorrow night. Switzerland set a record at the world cup for the Number Of Minutes Without Conceding A Goal by keeping a clean sheet for 559 minutes. Having said they don’t score many [...]
Everton to win at Villa at 2-1
After a good start to the premiership campaign despite the loss of Martin O’Neill the wheels have somewhat come off following a poor away draw to Rapid Vienna and then a 6-0 thumping away at Newcastle on Sunday – a result we predicted here at Gambling Man. The difference to Villa’s form can be explained by the loss of James Milner who made such a difference to Man City in their game against Liverpool on Monday, City’s new found width [...]
lay villa, city or celtic in the europa leauge tonight
There are four british short priced favourites playing in the Europa Cup this Thursday. In these situations the bookies expect to take a load of money on the UK team and hardly anything at all on the plucky foreigner. It therefore goes without saying that there is value elsewhere. The same is always true when England play, they are too short with UK bookies and should either be backed with a foreign bookie or opposed. A fun bet I sometimes [...]
