This price has been boosted to 4.33 from 4.00 – not very generous really but that’s #Ladbrokes for you. Anyway lets have a look at what chance there is that this bet will pay. Manchester City have only scored 3 goals when playing away in the first 15 minutes of play. Newcastle have actually scored 4 in the same timeframe when at home. this is not looking like a good bet! The 3 goals that Man City did score when playing away were Arsenal 21st Feb -2 mins and that was the first and last goal Burnley 3rd Feb – 3 mins – final score 0-2 West Brom 26th Jan – 6 mins – Final score 0-5 Newcastle have conceded 4 goals in the first 15 minutes 1 penalty,1 own Goal and 2 regular run of the mill. Manchester City’s average goal time is 43 mins (N.B. This is NOT average time of first goal) A safer bet might be that Man City will be leading at Half-Time as they have scored 18 goals in the first half playing away and only conceded 4! Shame on you #Ladbrokes this bet should be boosted by a lot more than 0.33
Man City have only scored 3 goals in the first 15 minutes when playing away!!!
Another Fulham player but this one has 4 whole goals to his name this season second only to Bobby Reid who is on 5, still beggars cant be choosers. 3 players in one game and a glimmer of hope that Kane might score on Sunday Watch this space to find out how I am going to spend my winnings 🤣🤣🤣
Mario Lemina has 18 starting appearances for Fulham and 9 other. He has only played a full 90 minutes of football 8 times out of the 27 games played in the premiership this season. His one goal this season was the winning goal in the away fixture at Liverpool (0-1). 4 yellows to his name – not expecting many goals from this pick. He did not play in the reverse fixture against Southampton which ended 0-0 anyway!
Che Adams is Southampton’s 2nd best Striker after Danny Ings on the goals front. 4 behind Ings with a creditable 8 goals this season he manages an Average of 1.0 shots on target each game. Having 28 appearances and 6 times coming on as a sub has just 1 yellow card to his name
Tuesdays pick has drawn a Midfielder from Aston Villa. Douglas Luiz hasnt scored a goal all season but I have high hopes that he will beat his last seasons total of 3 in this game against Crystal Palace 🤞🤞🤞🤞 He has 30 appearances to his name this season and manages an average of just 0.3 shots on target per game. His discipline record is not good with 9 yellows and a red this season in the premier league and averages nearly 2 fouls per match. Villa are away at Crystal Palace on Sunday at 12:00 and have conceded at least 1 goal in their last 8 games (Home and Away) In their last meeting at Villa Park they beat Palace 3-0 back in December. Perhaps both teams will score this time but backing Luiz to score one of them is not on my “Bucket List”
Morning all I have drawn a promising start this week with Spurs Striker Harry Kane. Spurs are playing Wolves on Sunday in the early afternoon fixture. With 32 appearances this season in the Premier League and 21 goals he averages 4 shots per game with 1.5 average on target. The fixture at Molyneux ended 1-1 with Kane not scoring nor assisting. There are bound to be some tasty morsels offered up by the bookies this weekend With only 1 yellow card to his name this season putting an “under” card bet and shots on target on to a bet builder bet might be worth a punt however there are no player markets formed yet on Betfair Sportsbook.
With the Madrid open starting this weekend I watched a couple of YouTube videos on trading tennis and was astonished to learn that Betfairs’ tennis markets regularly trade in 5 or 6 figure turnovers. One of the contributing factors of this is the fact that because the game can swing dramatically from one player to the other the odds swing with the markets can move considerately. For instance a lay bet of £20.00 on the favourite who’s odds are perhaps 1.35 at the start of the set will only have a liability of £7.00. If the other player then serves first and wins the first game then the odds of the favourite could well swing up to 1.5 and a back bet of £18.00 at those odds would see you making a profit of around £2.00 – a better than 25% return on your investment. If on the other hand the game goes the other way and the favourite wins the first game then the odds might swing down to perhaps 1.25. A back bet of £17.00 at 1.25 would only leave you with a loss of £2.95 if the favourite went on to win but a £2.94 profit if he/she was to go on to lose. With this in mind I placed a lay bet of £20.00 this morning on Aslan Karatsev at odds of 1.36 giving me a liability of £7.20.
With an hour to go before the first serve I can already trade out for 14p
20 minutes later the odds have reverted back to 1.36 and £20,000 more have been matched. I feel that I have perhaps jumped into this too soon as I dont know who will serve first So will cash out for no loss or profit and wait until they come out on court.
I have to admit to knowing absolutley nothing about tennis and even less about these two players but just some prelimianary research shows that Ugo Humbert is ranked 32nd in the ATP singles rankings and Aslan Karatsev 27th. The void in-between these two players odds, considering their closeness in the rankings suggests that Karatsev is on fire at the present time and a look at his form shows that he won 3 of his last 4 games in Belgrade kncking out Djokovic 2 sets to one. The match is now underway and Humbert served first winning the first game to 15 giving me a cashout of about 90p
The Soccer Saturday Price Boost this week is Bournemouth, Chelsea, and Leeds all to win Boosted from 7.0 to 10.0 The first match on the treble is a Championship clash between Hosts Bottom of the league Wycombe Wanderers and 4th placed Bournemouth. In form, Bournemouth have won all of their last 4 away games and 7 of their last league games only losing to Brentford at home last week. With Swansea and Barnsley both on level points with Bournemouth, Bournemouth need to win today to keep the others from stealing that all-important play-off spot. Wycombe have shown that even though they are flat bottom of the league they still have the ability when playing teams at the top of the league drawing against both Swansea and Watford at home. Generally, though they lose and by 2 goals when they do. The last time these two teams met Bournemouth won 1-0, and they have scored 2 goals or more in each of their last 4 away matches. Bournemouth need to win!
Chelsea are hosting Fulham this evening and have a mixed bag of results at home having goalless draws against Manchester Utd and Brighton and a dreadful drubbing of 2-5 by West Bromwich Albion. with their only victory in the last 4 home games being against Everton which ended 2-0. Although I have said that if bookmakers put Fulham into a boosted Acca you should avoid it like the Chinese Bat Flu they have come out and Drawn against Arsenal and Crystal Palace, beaten Liverpool 0-1 and lost just one against Aston Villa in their last 4 away games. That said, Fulham have never beaten Chelsea and their last 2 trips to Stamford Bridge have both ended 2-0. Chelsea are hanging onto that last Champions League 4th place spot precariously, but aided by Leicester’s 1-1 draw against Southampton last night. A win this evening would still see them in 4th place but keeping that all-important 3 point buffer between them and West Ham. Chelsea Need To Win!
Leeds Utd travel to Brighton today in a game which is of vital importance to the hosts. Only 7 points separate Brighton from Fulham and a win for Brighton today would see them a little closer to safety. Leeds Utd have won 2 and lost 2 of their last 4 away games and conceding goals in all of them. Their form over the last 8 games played has seen them win just 3 times drawn 3 times (twice Goalless) and losing to West Ham and Villa. Brighton’s Home record doesn’t read much better winning one drawing goalless against Everton and losing against Leicester and Crystal Palace. They have only beaten Southampton and Newcastle in their last 8 league games As with every Soccer Saturday Price Boost, SkyBet offer 3 outcomes and this week they have offered this last game as the alternate options Option 1 Bournemouth, Chelsea & Leeds all to win (was 6/1) Boosted to 9/1 Option 2 Bournemouth & Chelsea to win & Brighton to draw with Leeds (was 6/1) Boosted to 9/1 Option 3 Bournemouth, Chelsea & Brighton all to win (was 4/1) Boosted to 6/1 My final £5.00 goes on Option 1 £2.00 Option 2 £2.00 Option 3 £1.00
Australian A League has become a bit of an obsession of late and today Melbourne City Hosted Newcastle United Jets. 17 minutes into the game and the odds finally reached 2.0 and I stuck my fiver on it. Newcastle, again, scored at the wrong end and 2 more Melbourne goals and 87 minutes Newcastle decided it was time to score in the right goal A win is a win 😁
Punchestown day 2 and SkyBet are again paying 7 places and have boosted “The Great White” to 2.1 to place It is currently 2nd Fav at 7.5 to win Yesterdays similar bet won so why not try it again. To quote Sporting Life ” THE GREAT WHITE was beaten a long way behind Low Lie The Fields here in January but it was a different matter at Limerick last week where he was impressive. He’s up 11lb but still on a lowly mark and a quick double beckons.”
