Been quite pleased with the outcome of my last bet all week. Red Devils to beat Newcastle with at least two goals turn out to be just the safe bet I hoped it would. 1.70 was a very good price.

I’ve tried to find good bets during the week but came up short. Was about to back Young Boys against Spurs but chickened out in the last minute. Apart from that there was nothing inspiring in the cup qualifiers so I decided to hold it till the weekend.

Tomorrow we got the usual amount of Premiership action and the quick glance really favors backing the heavy favorites. A combo of Gunners, Chelsea and Man Utd looks rock solid and pays 2.31. But who knows, Blackpool might be able to draw on pure inspiration after their 4-0 against Wigan. And Arsenal really didn’t look that impressive at Anfield.

So I will go a different route altogether. I’ve taken a closer look at Birmingham-Blackburn. The home side have been terribly hard to beat at their home ground the last year. Rovers on the other hand looked pretty impressive in their opening match. A scoring draw at 4.50 looks tempting, but think there’s a fair chance we’ll end up with a scoreless match.

The plain draw pays 3.25 and that will be my bet, but I’ll settle for £50.

Will the start of the new seasons be the fresh start your favorite punter hopes?

Finally we have new seasons of European football on the way. England started this weekend and the others are soon to follow.

I’ve been keeping the betting up even though I haven’t written here in a long time. The World Cup this summer had its up and downs to say the least. Didn’t think Spain would hold up and go all the way. A belief I backed up with costly bets. Backed Germany and Holland correctly a couple of times which helped a bit, but in total the World Cup was a loosing venture. Quite a few impulsive live bets helped to sink the ship as well.

Anyway, back on the horse. In an effort to bet with a little more caution I’ve decided to write about every bet I make here, hoping public embarrassment will keep me away from the most stupid bets.

Well, we’ll just have to see how that goes…

So what’s on today’s menu? Well, since I want to stick to the majors there’s just the Man Utd – Newcastle match to consider.

I can’t see United not winning this. There’s absolutely nothing that speaks in Newcastle’s favor here. United have warmed up with a good performance in the Community Shield and at Old Trafford Newcastle is at the mercy of a miracle.

So a handicap bet should be the way to go today. Will the winning margin be two, three or even more?

Betsson offers 1.70 for a -1.5 Asian, and being a bit shell chocked from bad bets this summer I will not push my luck today even though my gut says at least 3-0.

1.70 is a good price and the Red Devils should win with at least two goals without breaking a sweat. I’ll put down £100 and hope for a nice fresh start of the season.

No time to write, but tonight I’m betting the score in Italy. Inter to win 2-0. Juventus have no chance, but I think the score will stay on the low side.

A £100 bet.

Usually a close game when these two meet and I don’t think this will be any different.

Everton really needs to grab at least one point at Villa Park to stay in the fight for the final Europa League spot.

A scoring draw pays 4.15 at the Betsson Sportsbook.

Let’s give that a try for £150.

This fixture just screams draaaaw!

Birmingham’s form is still looking good, and they will not lose tonight against a weak London side.

However, West Ham is decent at home and will struggle hard to keep a point and I think they will succeed. 0-0 or maybe 1-1, but definitely a draw.

At 3.25 there’s nothing left to say. I’ll push £250 into the pot!

A lot of Premiership action this weekend. At Craven Cottage, Aston Villa will try to grab all the three points to keep up in the race for the fourth place.

However, Fulham at home is usually no picnic. Fulham is unbeaten at home for the past two months.

This fixture got a draw written all over it. Most likely scoreless or maybe 1-1.

I’ll go for the straight draw at 3.20 – good value in my book. I’ll settle for a £100.

Tonight we got some German action when VfL Wolfsburg visits Hamburger SV.

I can’t see this not being three easy points for the home side. They are in pretty decent form and is taking on Wolfsburg who havent won a singe match since November.

1.80 for a home win is a good price at Betsson.com and the cautious punter should go for that.

Myself, I’m not feeling all that cautious today and can’t refuse the temptation of a whopping 3.05 for a two goals winning margin. This is not the safe bet of the day. SV win a lot of matches, but usually with narrow margin. But considering the incredible bad performance of Wolfsburg lately I just can’t resist going for it.

Hamburger SV to beat VfL Wolfsburg with at least two goals @ 3.05 – £200!

Kick off at 8:30 CET.

With half the starting lineup still injured Arsenal managed to beat Liverpool away this weekend.

Are they really back in the title race again? Or will there be a negative reaction tonight at Burnley? Not exactly a sexy game, Gunners needs to show that they can grind down opponents like these.

At TopLeague they believe Arsenal to beat the strong-at-home Burnley with at least two goals. I however have some doubts.

So today’s bet will be a win for Arsenal. But with several goals? Nah, don’t think so.

Once again, disclaimer. I am a gooner and it influences me off course. Today I am afraid to believe what I saw Sunday really was a turning point. But I still think they’ll win.

Confusing? Guess so. I’ll put down £100 for an away win @ 1.50.

Back from the dead! Sorry for the long break.

Today we have a lot of great Champions League matches.

In group D, Porto and Chelsea are already ready for the knockout stage. Tonight’s match will most likely determine who will win the group. A draw will be enough for Chelsea to keep control of the group.

Scoring draw is priced at 4.30 by Betsson.com and looks like the value bet of the night. I lay down £100.

Today’s bet
In Copa del Rey, the Spanish cup, Valladolid is visiting Mallorca. The home side is always tough to beat in Mallorca and 1.67 is a fair price. £200.
