Weekend bets and Carling Cup thoughts

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Real Madrid win 2-0 so bank up to £323.  (we got 2.14 for the Arsenal draw no bet and Real madrid win double).  Going to skip the Carling Cup as its too unpredicable.  Looking at the fixtures and prices, I’d go for all home wins.  Man City at 13/8, who have won 9/9 at home vs 2/1 for Spurs that have won 1 game away all season?  Stupid odds.  Blackburn are going through a slump so what better way to come out of it than to beat Arsenal B side.  I recall the A side only drew 1-1 here near the start of the season.  I’d take the 2.8 on the home win rather than the 2.5 on the away.  Chelsea/ Liverpool is a bit dodgy.  I’d say home win if you held a gun to my head but I’d want a bit more than 2.1.  So no bets until Saturday. 

Stand out fixture for me is Reading/ Sunderland.  Boyles have Reading at Evens which I think is a good price.  They have a good home record and Sunderland look destined to go down.  £100 staked.
