Viva Catalunya

Primera Division is treating us with a mid-week round.

Barcelona shouldn’t have any problems with Racing even though it’s an away game. 2,5+ goals or even 3,5+ goals could be a really good bet.

Todays bet

But I’ll settle for a margin bet. Barcelona to win with at least two. 1.84 @ £100 bet.

I love Shabani Nonda

My sure thing in Turkey was anything but. With 89 minutes gone the game was still tied 1-1. Then Shabani scores twice making my lost bet all good again. £204 profit!

This blog is now on a roll!

A sure thing in Turkey

Not many matches to choose from today, but I think I got a solid bet identified.

Galatasaray have started the season in Turkish Süper Ligi spectacular with five straight wins. They are visiting Kasimpasa who on the other hand started with five straight losses. Goal difference +12 vs -10.

Today’s bet

I found a remarkable odds at Betsson.com. They got an Asian handicap (1.5 goals) where they are paying 1.68 for a Galatasaray win. That’s like giving money away! Confident after my weekend wins I’m placing £300 on it.

Weekend roundup

Finally I got some bets right. Arsenal did crush Wigan (4-0) and my £200 bet for a winning margin of two or more earned me a nice £128 profit.

The Manchester derby got a lot closer than I could imagine. Great game and in the end I got lucky. Chelsea did their part and the double gave me another £145 profit.

So the weekend covered the inital bad bets, and the fund is now a few quid above the starting point.

Checkout track record for details.

The big guys are in charge

Today’s bet

United will show the newly rich City who’s the boss in town and Chelsea will do the same to Spurs. A double @ 2.45. Worth to place £100. Here we go!

Finally weekend

It’s been a few bad days, but now it’s finally weekend. With huge amount of betting opportunities.

Today’s bet

Arsenal will crush Wigan. Arsenal to win with at least two goals @ 1.64 is money in the bank. £200!

Sheffield United v Sheffield Wednesday

The Steel City Derby!

United and Wednesday have pounded each other for 116 years! No disrespect to The Premier League, but this is the hottest derby in England.

Both sides are off to a good start this season, but United is well deserved favorite in this match.

Today’s bet

But history suggests it’ll be a close game, and when looking at the odds I find the best value in a scoring draw at 4.60. But it’s still a long shot so I’ll settle for a mere £50 bet today.

Ajax v. Poli Timisoara

The Dutch side have started the season very convincingly and the Romanians shouldn’t be able to cause any problems in Amsterdam.

Today’s bet

Ajax to win by at least two pays around 1.60. Looks like great value to me. Betting £100.

Not even close

Busted TVNot only did the Inter Milan – Barcelona game turn out nothing like I expected, but also my TV was busted giving me no chance to catch the action.

From what I’ve read Barcelona dominated and the Italians did what they do best. Not trying to justify yesterdays bad bet, but if Barcelona had managed to get an early goal I still believe my bet would have been good.

Anyway, no point to cry about it. I’ll be back later with to bet on the UEFA Europa League.

Inter Milan v Barcelona

Two of Europe’s elite go head-to-head in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday as Inter Milan host Barcelona in their Group F opener.

The game marks the immediate return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to the Giuseppe Meazza while Samuel Eto’o lines up against Barca for the first time following his summer switch.

Being the opener I believe it will be an action packed match. No need for either side to play tight, both sides really want to show the world who came out on top in the insane transfer market.

Today’s bet

So I expect us to see a lot of goals. 2,5+ or even 3,5+ could be a sound bet. Over 3 times your money for 3,5+ goals is offered by a lot of bookies. I lay down £100 on 3,5+ goals @ Betsson who offers 3.05.
