PRE SEASON/EUROPEAN FOOTBALL BETTING
-3pts Benfica win vs Pompey @ 10/11 (bet365) As expected, Pompey produced a timid display against Guimares, likely to be more of the same against Benfica who are a superior team to Guimares
-2.5pts Arsenal win vs Atletico @ 4/5(bet365,Betfair) Arsenal a little further on in their preparations and of course have home advantage and strikers are already firing
-1.25pts Niclas Bendtnar anytime scorer vs Atletico @ 5/2(skybet) Sure to get chances vs Atletico and price nearly twice as big as some other sportsbooks
-1pt Paddy Mc Court anytime scorer vs Sunderland @ 9/2(skybet) Big value if not overly likely
-1.5pts Robin van persie to score/arsenal win vs Rangers @ 17/10 (paddypower)1 comes in, both are likely and nearly treble the price of just backing the win. make sure VP starts before placing your bet. VOID (non starter)
-1.75pts Kershakov anytime scorer vs Celtic @ 7/4(bet365) Strong Russian finisher will be thorn in celtics side all night
-1.75pts Sivasspor win vs Anderlecht @ 2/1 (exchanges) Drfited from 5/4 out to 2/1 in the space of a day. Embarrassed last week and albeit only pride to play for, value is definitely now with backing the usually strong at home Turkish outfit
-2pts double - Man UTD win vs Valencia/LFC win vs Lyn @ 2.28(coral)Both premiership teams are starting to find their fitness and a bit of structure as they near the season start
-1pt Dinamo vs Celtic draw 1-1 @ 6/1(bet365)Rarely do correct score betting but this match just screams low scoring draw and bet365 refund your correct score stakes for a 0-0
-2.5pts Poli vs Shaktar @ 4/5(VC) Shaktar know they MUST win after conceeding 2 away goals. Poli will be nervous as ever and won't know how to approach the game. Shaktar will have more space to exploit than in the home leg
Community Shield
-2.5pts UTD vs Chelsea corners under 11 @ 5/6(bet365)Season opener usually played in the sun at strolling pace. Wembley a big pitch which lessens the chance of corners generally.Most other firms have the line @ 10. Main danger to this bet is Valencia
-2.5pts Man City win vs Celtic @ 7/10 (V.C, betfair) City to finish season preparations with a bang, expect good lineup. Stephen Ireland will be itching to score against his boyhood team, and probably will.
-2.5pts LFC vs Atletico over 2.5 goals @ 10/11 (betfair) should be open with a mountain of attacking talent on show
-3pts over 2.5 goals Valencia vs Arsenal @ 4/5 (general) Small pitch, 2 open attacking teams and serious striking talent - potential goalfest friendly or not
Last updated @ 14:15 08/08/2008
-2.5pts Portsmouth win(draw no bet) vs Rangers @ 17/20(hills) Home advantage, bigger players back and good news about Viduka may give them advantage after some poor form
updated 14.44 08/08/2009
-1.25 pts Modric anytime scorer vs Olympiacos @ 9/2(skybet) Crazy priceVOID(non starter)
-2.5pts Spurs win vs Olympiakos @ 4/5 (VC) Expect Spurs to have too much for them in the attacking areas, Crouch to cause trouble
updated @ 23:35 08/08/2009
-1.5pts Robbie keane anytime scorer vs Australia @ 2/1(betfair) Keane a confirmed starter and overpriced at 2/1.
