Had a tenner on 3-1 barca last night. Decent
WTF! I expected Bournemouth to be marginal favourites against Villa but odds-on is crazy....Villa @ 100/30!
Bournemouth are missing their best midfielder from last season Harry Arter and have also stuck with CB's Cook and Elphick; both of whom are long term favourites of mine in the lower leagues but IMO neither of 'em are good enough for the top level. Agbonlahor and Ayew should have a field day against this defence. I have backed Villa.

Those odds are silly long. Stuck a couple of quid on, cheers for the heads up. Possibly!
No problem. I've sold out of the bet now, I hope Villa hold on for you.
I'm shit at this.
£10 on Chelsea to win at 2-2
£10 on Arsenal to win when 1-0 down
£10 on Jordan to score yesterday.
Bugger.

It probably won't help to know that I stuck £3 on Brentford not to lose when they were 2 down in the 82nd minute. Their goals in the 92nd and 96th minute made me a very unexpected but very nice £100.
Southampton are close to evens at home to Everton tomorrow. #BOTW
In theory I'm supposed to be trying to curtail my weekly betting in favour of season-long bets i.e. trading bets of the winner of the championship, the Scottish championship and the EPL but last weeks price on Villa to win at Bournemouth was too big to refuse. This week I don't see such opportunities so will try to restrain my self and maybe just dabble on a couple of small speculative bets.
I do think West Ham and Southampton look likely winners but at those prices I'll probably give them a miss. I'm looking more at a Palace/Chelsea double on Sunday............Chelsea at 3/1 (Betfair) if Aguero is out is a very tempting price and Palace always have a chance in home matches like this......although I'll wait to see if they pick Wickham in the starting 11.........if they do then I probably won't back 'em.
Again going against my plan of betting big on a weekly basis I did stick a decent wad on us to beat Bournemouth (on Monday) the other day because I thought the 1.51 price (1/2) was very big (I'd price us at 4/11).

Where is the dislike button?
That's where it's at.
Northern Ireland away with the Faroes at 3/4 is surely a great price?
I reckon they'll win but am not entirely convinced by their midfield (apart from Dallas) so I've gone for £10 McAuley to score anytime @ 11/1 and £20 Dallas to score anytime @ 4/1.
Good call on McAuley
Cheers Aidan, happy with 11/1 and 7/2 (Georgia) winners yesterday from 3 bets, its been a promising start to the season. Did you do Norn Iron to win?
Not a game I'll be getting involved with; I think Walsall are rightly favourites but there's little value in the price IMO. Bury are decent but I notice their best player Danny Mayor went off at half time last week so with a bit of luck (regarding your bet) he may miss the game thru injury. Good luck EC.
Thanks Pesam. I thought they were decent odds considering Bury haven't won in 5 games so far this season
They're not bad odds because Walsall look dangerous this season. I think Bury will finish mid table but they need to get Leon Clarke fit. I do think Walsall should win but I usually look for prices that are IMO at least 20% out from what I'd price them. I'd possibly price Walsall as low as 10/11 but wouldn't back them unless they were about 2.3 (11/8). I'm off now to check the team news on a few other games and will post any bets (if any) in about 20 minutes.
Actually spotted a possible decent bet straight away. Great game between Exeter who are a lovely footballing team against the league leader Orient who have a 100% record. I'd price both teams @ 13/8 to win (9/4 draw) so am happy to lay the Orient win at 6/5 for £40.
Chesterfield should not be favourites against Wigan. Although they've had a decent start to the season Chesterfield are nothing special and Wigan have a better team out today. I've layed Chesterfield for £100 (bigger bet than I wanted to do as I'm trying not to bet big on a weekly basis) @ 6/5 and another £15 on the Wigan win at almost 3/1.
