Why do you keep going on about Wise? I havent followed his career closely at all but with a quick search, his managerial record doesnt seems pretty good and whatever happened with his upstairs role at Newcastle seemed to be more to do with internal politics than his actual ability to do the job. Are you just assuming he will be terrible because he has some sort of friendship with Ashley or is there something from his post-playing career that Im missing? |

There are a few I like today:
Motherwell @ 5/2 away to St Mirren both teams are really bad but Motherwell have Barroclough in charge for the first time today and he will have had a week to look at what he has, I was also impressed by how they played against Celtic in spells in defeat a few weeks back. I'd have this as more of a flip so I think 5/2 is fine for a bet.
Hamilton seem to be turning it around in last couple of games, after a solid start to the season and then taking a bit of a dip they got back to winning ways last weekend. From what I heard from my Hamilton supporting colleague they probably just deserved the win but he said had they not got the early goals it may have been a struggle as Dundee came on quite strongly. On the otherhand, I don't rate Ross County at all and as a match up I think Hamiton are stronger in majority of positions so 7/5 is enough to get me tempted (smallish bet)
I have also backed Dundee again I'm a bit of a sucker for them. I like what Paul Hartley is doing I like the football they try and play and I feel the price is just a wee bit to big. 11/5 at Thistle who have played pretty well of late and who trounced the form team outwith Celtic might not be everyones cup of tea but for me it's one I can't pass up.
There isn't much I like in the Championship at the prices. If I were going to take a punt I'd probably take Rangers on somehow, they are in turmoil at the moment - moreso than normal and I'd probably take on Hibs, I haven't been impressed by them at all, although last few weeks has seen some improvement. No Bets in Championship today.
In League 1 Stranraer are the form team, not a team I trust but they have undefeated in 6, two points off the lead and away to play-off rival today. Dunfermline on the otherhand have parted company with their manager Jim Jefferies and although I don't know much about the boy who has stepped up other than he was a decent prospect when he played with Celtic under 21's but for whatever reason it never took off for him and he ground out a living playing at St Mirren mostly, he is assissted by Neil McCann who I can't stand and as analysts go I find pretty bad so don't see how these two bring improvement to this team. Stranraer at 5/2 is appealing.
If Stirling Albion play half as well as they supposedly played last weekend they have a chance away to Ayr. That's a big if but I'm going to give them a chance @ 15/4
League 2 is probably my most profitable in terms of actual returns simply because I have almost every week managed to come up with a nice double. To my mind its a league that the favourites seem to do pretty well in but I also think that due to their being no fulltime professional teams the books don't shorted up the favs as much. Today I will be having a yankee on Arbroath/Albion/Queens Park/East Fife - For the purpose of this thread the one I like most out of them at the prices is Abroath at evns.
To a level 1pt stake we made a profit of 2.43 points. In realty it was a little more, but as we never set out a staking plan we'll record all single bets at 1 pt going forward just to keep track and see how we get on.

Yeah the Ashley connection and you know the old addage of how everytime there is trouble caused by ICF its actually Chelsea :-) Realistically it's never going to be Wise but it would be fun. |

Another winning day for us, that Ayr 90th minute equaliser was a bit like someone hitting their gutshot on the river.
Running profit - 7.83 points.

Big result for Dundee United up at Tannadice against Celtic. I slept in and missed kick off, I had a look at Dundee United earlier this morning after watching the NFL and was contemplating backing them depending on Celtic team news. Key for me was Ambrose, if he had been playing I was having a small wager on United. So that worked out well, time I woke up 8 minutes into the game they were 1 - 0 up with a howler from Ambrose.

Anyone any idea what is going on with Owen Coyle? He seems to have stuck on about 3 stone since he's been out the game.
He has a new job in the US for next season, he's going to need to shed a few pounds.

Was having broadband issues this morning and never managed to update here but as posted on TfT Hibs were too big a price at 23/10 to beat Rangers.
I also like Airdrie at home against Ayr today. The price is a little shorter than I would have liked but, i'll probably still give it a dash. 19/20.
Anyone who reads this, will know I quite like Dundee and I like what Paul Hartley is doing. That said, his squad is crippled with injury at the moment and although Garry Harkins comes back in today there are stil 9 players out, and that is a lot for a club like Dundee to handle. St Mirren on the otherhand are just terrible but this could be the game they win. 16/5 is available it's probably pretty close to being the right price. But I can't ignore the injurt problems at Dundee. I'll be on under 2.5 goals and may fire a small dart at the draw.

Cheers guys. Not sure if I can really claim that St Mirren one as a result. I actually bet them to win but wasn't as confident about recomending it as I was about betting on my own dime. I just really wanted to be against Dundee.
Airdrie was a nice result, I have heard a few good things about them lately.
Full card on Thursday of SPL games with 3 derby matches. I have tomorrow off work and will have a good look at the games and post thoughts on all 6 fixtures and hopefully find a few more winning bets.
On Saturday there is sure to be some value had and I will take a look at those fixtures on Thursday/Friday see what I like.
One bet I have had already and I'd still take a small punt on is in the League Cup Semi Final Match. Celtic for all our woes should be shorter than a 1/2 shot against Rangers. The bet I have had was Celtic - 1.
I don't see how this Rangers team can compete with Celtic. I also understand that there is likely to be a number of players shown the door either though release of by transfer at Ibrox in the transfer window. I would expect Celtic to try and get a player or 2 in.
