Carling Cup Final Tips - Liverpool v Cardiff

Liverpool face Cardiff in the first final showdown of the year on Sunday and Kenny is desperate to return silverware to the Reds' dressing room with a Carling cup final win. Liverpool won't get a better chance vs Championship side Cardiff and off the back of a demolition of Brighton, I fancy more of the same from Liverpool at Wembley. Also, this weekend in the football for Premium service subscribers, I have tips for the Arsenal v Spurs and Villarreal v Bilbao games, including a correct score trading strategy.

Liverpool have been threatening to hammer teams all season, creating chances in abundance but failing to put them away. Those problems ended last week with a 6-1 thumping of Brighton and with Suarez and Gerrard finally getting a chance to form a partnership, those goals could now start flowing and I fear for Cardiff at this year's Carling Cup Final. Craig Bellamy will be itching for a start against Cardiff, his home team, and may get the nod over Andy Carroll. If he plays, his pace will cause all sorts of problems to a Cardiff side that have shipped 10 goals in their last 5 games, including three goals in two of those matches.

What is expected Strokes Gained Course Fit ?

Bryan 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.

Input up to date player and course data (from the upcoming course fit manual 2024) into this interactive golf betting model. My course fit profiling model for golf betting tips uses highly evolved golf nuance and betting intuition, precise parameters and inputs based on Bayesian analysis, plus years of empirical evidence through observing, betting and documenting golf and stats.

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.
