Premiership / La Liga Value Bets Mar 13-14

The chase for the English premiership league title hots up this weekend as all 3 of the chasing sides have what look like easy wins on paper with Man UTD vs Fulham, Chelsea vs Westham in a London derby and Arsenal traveling to Hull, likely to be without Fabregas. Arsenal and UTD are flying off the back of big European football wins and it would hardly be surprising to see Rooney and Bendtner continue where they left off but value is thin in the anytime scorer markets on those 2 so better left alone. Same story in the Chelsea game where nothing stands out in terms of value betting.

Elsewhere in the English Premiership, Everton travel to Birmingham where there could be some value in backing the over 2.5 @ odds against and Spurs resume their battle for 4th against Blackburn. City travel to Sunderland where the hosts have regained some form, beating Bolton 4-0 midweek with a Darrent Bent hattrick.

In The Spanish football betting nothing appeals at all on saturday night or early Sunday but Villarreal vs Xerez, Valladolid vs Real Madrid and the game of the Spanish Football weekend - Barcelona vs Valencia all look like good matches with potential for goals..... stay tuned for expert value premiership / La Liga betting picks......

Golf Player Profiles



Please note that player attribute ratings are derived from the official PGA Tour and European Tour golf stats, and updated with a rolling average each golf betting year for precision.


Bryan Nicholson is the pioneer of the progressive form and course fit ratings for golf betting, with the associated progressive form model and course fit profiling model. Bryan is the author of the increasingly popular annual course fit profiling manual and #1 golf betting book Angles & Edges and runs the Sharp Sports Bettors Blog.

What is expected Strokes Gained Course Fit ?

Bryan also pioneered the concept of Expected Strokes Gained Course Fit (xSGF) in golf betting. xSGF can be predicted using my model below. For prospective golf betting tips it projects ahead of time how many shots a player is expected to pick up per round on average on a particular golf course. It's weighed against a neutral golf course of the same rating. For example: Sam Horsfield at Celtic Manor vs TPC Southwind. This number will also portray ability level in terms of strokes gained total. Click "find out more" under the course fit golf betting model for info.

What is Progressive Form in Golf Betting?

Progressive form in golf betting differs from current form in that players are showing a trend in the right direction in their recent scoring. Trending form has a high predictive value in golf betting and can also catch players under the radar at an inflated price vs their true betting odds. For example - a player shows form of T40 - 24 - 24, but last week he was in the leading PGA Tour group on Sunday with Tiger Woods and had a bad round due to nerves. His finishing position may not fully capture his actual form... See more with our calculators and betting tools
