I've won 4 out of my 5 bets, with 3 of the winners better than evens odds. Maybe I should open a consultancy service for all the Ian Fails out there? I dunno how Villa beating Sunderland was 11/8, seemed a cert to me.

I got it at 6/4 because I didn't put the bet on until about 5 mins after it'd kicked off.

You can quite often find good odds like this, so far for me one usually fails though. Maybe I should do individual bets like you have done

A little £5 fail for me this week at 8/1:


Cardiff v Leicester

Tranmere v Bristol Rov

Swindon v Brighton

I've also gone for a potential fail, betting all of my remaining £24 (ish) on Liverpool beating Portsmouth away at 8/13. Hard to see them not winning against the worst team in the league.

Portsmouth are probably at their best of the season right now with Liverpool being at their worst, this is why the odds are so good.

Nah Liverpool are way past their worst IMO. Should be smooth sailing now all the way to 4th. Portsmouth are hardly at their best. Their home record is appalling as well.

The Liverpool game will be intresting tomorrow. Look at Portsmouth's last few results. They scored in the last minute to get a point away to Sunderland, whilst only losing by the single goal. But to be fair they got outplayed in both games, but I think that may spurr them on a little bit, especially being back at home.

I can't see them winning, but could see them dragging out a 0-0.

If I get any return I'm going to stake most of it on Wolves beating Burnley on Sunday at 21/20. Burnley have 1/24 points away, plus Wolves have rested their whole team for a week, and are on decent form, and also need to win matches.

I am going for something different.

QPR, Crystal Palace to draw, then Norwich and Sheff Wed to win. £5 = £236+
Tottenham, Wolves, West Brom, Hartlepool and Northampton to all win. £5 = £180

I am tempted also to stick Doncaster in somewhere as they are 2-1 against a poor Derby team.

1-0 portsmouth at HT. Liverpool down to 10 men, oops.
