This Weeks Hot Tips   
Saturday 10th November Back on track after a needy break we see only three Premiership fixtures this Saturday and our pick of the bunch has got to be West Ham away at Derby County @ 7/5. Into the Championship we can see Watford extending their lead at the top of the table with a comfortable scoreline againt Colchester. Watford are odds on at 1/2 which in the grand scheme of things is a good safe bet. Saturdays bets as follows: Watford v Colchester Utd - home win @ 1.50 (Betfair). We will be backing a £50 home win Single Derby County v West Ham - away win @ 2.44 (Betfair). We will be backing a £25 away win Single Result to follow: Saturday 6th October We hope to follow up last weeks good form with a single bet this week. Whilst for the first time ever there is only one premiership kick off at 3pm on a Saturday we will be turning our attention to league one where we fancy Swindon to beat Gillinham at home at generous odds of 1.85 (4/5). The Gills have not one away yet this season and with Swindon showing signs of picking up their run we can only see a home win here. Saturdays bets as follows: Swindon v Gillingham - home win @ 1.85 (Betfair). We will be backing a £50 home win. Result to follow: Swindon ran out comfortable 5-0 victors!
Saturday 29th September Back in full swing we can see some solid results being ground out this weekend in the premiership for the likes of Manchester United away at Birmingham, Arsenal away at West Ham and Liverpool away at Wigan. Further afield we like the look of Bury at home to Accrington Stanley given Accringtons away record and our banker for the day has to be Hibs to beat Kilmarnock in the SPL. Kilmarnock have up to nine of their first team out for this game so should be easy pickings for a strong Hibs side. Saturdays bets as follows: Wigan v Liverpool - away win @ 4/7, Bury v Accrington Stanley - home win @ 6/5, Hibs v Kilmarnock - home win @ 8/11. We will be backing a £20 treble. A single bet of £50 on Hibs to beat Kilmarnock @ 8/11 (William Hill) Result: Winners all round - a nice treble paying £99.43 profit and the single showing profit of £37.86.
Monday 17th September Monday night see's the meeting of Derby County v Newcastle. When we analysed this fixture we were pleasantly surprised to see Newcastle trading at 1.81. Given the contrast in form between the two sides we think that a price of just over 4/5 to be of outstanding value. So we have lumped £100 on them to win. Newcastle are unbeaten in their last five outings whilst Derby cant buy a win at the moment. New castle are looking sharp up front and should have scored a fair few more than they have. Derby on the other hand cant keep the ball out of their onion bag already conceeding 4 and 6 against Spurs and Liverpool respectfully. We will be backing Newcastle away at Derby County @ 1.81 (Betfair) £50 win Single Result: Against our better judgement Derby ran out 1-0 victors.....
Saturday 15th September After the international break we are once again itching to get our domestic football underway again and most importantly see some good returns from the coming fixtures. It's about this time in the season that we start to see how things are panning out throughout the leagues. Manchester United are back to winning ways after a shakey opening couple of games and look good value away to Everton. Rangers and Celtic both look promising to continue their runs in the SPL. Our pick of the day has to go to West Ham who entertain Middlesbro this Saturday. We can see West Ham notching their first home victory of the season against a very up and down Middlesbro side. The same fixture last season see West Ham run out 2-0 victors and we can see that same scoreline again this Saturday.
We will be backing West Ham at home to Middlesbro @ 1.97 (Betfair) £50 win Single Result - Win (West Ham did the business for us being 3-0 winners)
Saturday 8th September No bets this week due to international fixtures
Saturday 1st September Consistency is what we are after and where better to look in this current climate than the Scottish Lower leagues. With the new football season still in it's infancy there are still plenty of shocks around to hurt the wallet which is why we we are going to be focused this week on a couple of Scottish sides in action. East Stirling over recent seasons have bought many of us some good profit. Now of course we do mean that whoever East Stirling was playing we would back the other side which nearly always paid off as East Stirlings terrible form was so consistent. However this season so far has seen a revamped slick looking side that is more than capable of turning over the sides around them. Even though East Stirling are away this weekend they are still great value in our book. East Fife have started their campaign with a solid start and look good to extend their unbeaten run further with an expected home win over lowly Forfar. East Fife in our eyes will walk the Scottish Third division. We will be backing East Fife at home to Forfar @ 1/2 £50 win Single Result - Win (East Fife did the business being 3-0 winners)
Sunday 26th August With Arsenal ending Manchester City's fine run we can also see Manchester United breaking their worst start since the Premiership was formed. Many say that Tottenham have bounced back big style by thrashing Derby 4-0. Well lets look at this for a moment. On the opening day of the season Spurs were more than matched up at the Stadium of Light and lost 1-0. Then came a very well organised Everton side at the Lane which turned Spurs over with ease 1-3. So then came a very limp unorganised Derby side which look certain favourites for the drop. Spurs ran out 4-0 victors which was hardly a surprise. Again this weekend Spurs will be up against a top quality side that need to get a win and fast. Manchester United have done everything possible but score in their opening matches. If they had managed to put away half of their chances they would be sitting pretty. Against Tottenham we think all will come good and goals will be plenty for United. Carlos Tevez will be our pick of the bunch for first goalscorer. We will be backing Manchester United @ 8/15 and Carlos Tevez to be first goalscorer (5.8 Betfair) £50 Win Single & £10 first goal scorer. Result - Win (Manchester United beat Tottenham 1-0) Lose - (Nani was the first goalscorer)
Saturday 25th August It could be said that the start to this season all round has been rather perculiar with some of the big teams struggling to kick start their season. Manchester United cant buy a win at the moment and across the city the blue half are looking in great shape under the ex england coach. Manchester City have hit the ground running but we feel that their away trip to Arsenal will be a bridge to far this Saturday and we see Arsenal the one's to bring City's run to an end. We will be backing Arsenal @ 4/7. £50 Win Single Result - Win (Arsenal eventually broke down City's defence for a 1-0 victory)
Saturday 18th August Well as usual the start of the English football season sees some unpredictable results. Man Utd drawing their opening two games, Spurs losing their first two and Everton & Man City sitting pretty on top of the league. We can see Everton remaining top after their away trip to Reading. Everton have got off to a flyer and seem to be playing some great football with pretty much the same squad as last season. We also believe Man Utd will bounce straight back and dig out a hard fought victory against their bitter rivals city. Althought most of the midweek games that took place were Worthington cup games Crystal Palace caught our eye with another good display. They ran out easy winners on the opening day of the season and look terrific value at around even money at home to a very lack lustre Leicester City side. In Scotland it looks like Gretna are struggling to come to terms with top flight football and face another tough away day at Hearts. We will be backing Crystal Palace at home to Leicester City (2.12 Betfair) £25 Win Single Result - Lose (The points were shared by these two in an entertaining 2-2 draw)
Saturday 11th August After last weeks disappointing draw for Celtic we can expect them to bounce straight back with a win away at Falkirk. We see the price at 1/2 as very good and will be placing a single on them this week. With the start of the English football leagues this weekend we have decided not to venture in straight away but see how things pan out for the new season. Our picks if we were placing bets would be Notts Forest at home, Peterborough at home and Newcastle away. All win singles. We will be backing Celtic away at Falkirk @ 1/2 £50 win single Result - Win (Celtic came away from Falkirk 4-1 victors)
Saturday 4th August This weekend see's the start of the Scottish Football season and what better way to see in the new season with a nice old firm double. Many would agree that again it will be one of the big two that walks away with the Scottish Premier league title. History would also suggest this as the last time the leauge was won outside these two was back in 1986 by Aberdeen. This campaign Rangers need to get off to a flyer to stay in contention with their fierce rivals Celtic after last seasons dismal start which kept them out of the frame. We will be backing Rangers away at Inverness Cally @ 4/9 and Celtic at home to Kilmarnock @ 1/5. Although short odds it should see in the new season with a nice profit! Inverness Cally v Rangers - Prediction: Rangers @ 4/9 Celtic v Kilmarnock - Prediction: Celtic @ 1/5 £50 win double Result - Lose (Rangers ran out 3-0 victors over Inverness but a disappointing 0-0 draw at home for Celtic)
1st August 2007 - Pre Season Bets With the arrival of the new season just a few days away with the Scottish divisions kicking off their campaign first followed a week later by the English divisions it's time to put up our pre season predictions. English Premiership - With the introduction of more world class players to Manchester United we feel that they will again be slightly too strong for Chelsea in what looks like another two horse race. Prediction: Manchester United: Best Price 11/8. Championship
-
As ever the championship proves to be such a hard league to predict
which is why it has also become a great spectacle to watch. Although
Charlton are favourites for the division we feel that the loss
of some of their key players will inevitably take it's toll, we
think Charlton in the playoffs at best. The one side that has
been going about their signings rather quietly is Wolves who have
got in some great young talent to beef up their squad. We can
see some real value in backing Wolves to win the Championship.
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanders: Best
Price 15/2 League
1 -
With an exciting climax to the end of last season Nottingham Forest
were left devasted losing out to Yeovil in the secong leg at the
City ground in the play off's. We believe that Forest have swallowed
that bitter pill and will be run away leaders of League one by
some distance. Some good signings in the closed season will bring
some needed experience to the already talented squad. Watch them
steam roll ahead!! Prediction: Nottingham
Forest: Best Price 9/2 League 2 - Well it would seem that a timely cash injection for Peterborough was just what the doctor ordered and no time was wasted in bringing in a whole host of summer signings. Because of this we cant see anyone touching Peterborough this campaign although we predict they will be off to a slightly slower start until they find their feet. After that they will get to the top and stay there! Peterborough for top scorers as well. Prediction: Peterborough United: Best Price 4/1 We will be placing a £10 win Yankee for the above selections for the coming season. Good luck in whatever choices you make throughout the leagues. One things for sure, it's going to be another fantastic season across the divisions!
