Fancy QPR today at 3.05 too, but refrained from putting any money on them...

Birmingham +427
Sheff Utd -300
Villa +285
Swansea -200

+212 on the evening, Running total +161.

Sigh, why didn't I put the Superhoops in?

Followed your bets closely but not exactly. Did same points on all and in a hurry backed blades for Saturday instead. Slight profit on small stakes, ty.

Do you have any season long bets running at the moment Camel?  Any handicap markets from the start of the season etc?

I've had bloody loads!

Examples:

The Good: £1000 ew on Reading for the Championship @ 10/1

The Bad: Bought Newcastle points @ 45

The Ugly: £2000 on Spurs without the Big Four @ 5/2

I'll be more than happy to break even on my ante post bets, but Villa making the top 3 would get me out of it big time.

System not started that well then

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Want a side bet this makes a profit by the end of 2009?

Apologies btw, flippant remark by me. GL with this.
Interesting thread.

Sometimes I just want to rip up a staking plan and just stick the whole lot on a selection.. today is such a day..

How the hell are Aston Villa 5/6 to beat Wigan?

500pts Villa @ 1.87

Other bets:

200pts Stoke @ 4.1
100pts Blackpool @ 5.7
LAY 200pts Cardiff @1.71

I like West Brom at Hull this afternoon but it sticks in the throat a bit taking 3.6 when 11/4 with no commision was available earlier. If Arsenal drift to 1.6 I will definitely back them too, but the slide seems to have halted and they are moving the wrong way in the market now. The only other possibilities were opposing Wolves and Ipswich, but I didn't bother in the end.

gl to everyone betting today.

Dundee Utd are over priced at 15/2 away to Rangers, the draw is also too big at 4/1. I would price them nearer 5/1 & 3/1 respectively.

Utd have played Celtic & Rangers 5 times this season, all have ended in draws. They are well organised & always raise their game against Celtic & Rangers.

On the downside they have just lost one of their better players in Willo Flood and have just come off of a penalty shootout defeat to Celtic which will have taken a lot out of them.

Thank God for self discipline! (Although I just watched Villa totally batter Wigan, how they didn't score I'll never know)

Results:

Villa LOSE -500
Stoke WIN +589
Blackpool WIN +447
Cardiff LOSE -142

Day +394

Running Total +589

They've suckered me in again:

200pts Newcastle @ 2.84
