Green Is it me or are Brazil good value too?

4.3 available on the exchanges.

But then I do love lumping on a favourite.

If Huddersfield keep hold of Cl8on and Wells, then 10/3 looks a very good price for them to finish top half.

Starting another £10 into £1000 thingy on my website if you fancy it. http://www.redtipster.co.uk

On a nice little run of profit at the mo.

Nearly tipped Reading for U 2.5 goals vs Stevenage, but they seem to be getting 1 or 2 a game so moved on to easier pickings......

I rinsed sky's free bet club last season for over £300 (bet £5 they gave you a £5 free bet)

I'm guessing they got caned all over the shop 'cause at the end of the season they stopped it and made it bet £50 a week for a free weekly bet.

I've just had an email with this season's offer. Stake £25 a week and get £5 free.

Sky Bet works purely on looking pretty. The betting industry regard it as the easiest to use product out there (particularly on mobile), but they offer the least options in terms of markets, decent prices & coverage. Not a serious betting tool.

Bet365 offer the most market options, but the least in terms of "frills". On the basis of overall prices, markets and offers has to be Paddy Power.

Betfair great for horses, but their footy markets are more limited than they ought to be.

Possibly, but they have all the markets I want to bet on, and you can lay you're bets the other way. Which is how I like to bet.

I'm not a serious punter.

A 20p lucky 15 adds a little interest to my football afternoons.

I got a betfair account by default when blue square packed up and transferred my funds. Not that impressed tbh although I do use it for the odd single where the odds are normally better. I might have a go at the 0-0 challenge this season.

Skybet is pretty slick though.

Is it just me or not, but whenever I bet I lose, but 4 times in the last 7 days I have picked big bets, not done it and they all come in! All from a 5ver, returns would have been 204, 68, 110 and 82!

Yeh, I like Posh too. They looked quality at the beginning of last season, then couldn't win for ages. If Assombalonga stays fit they'll be up there.

Dodgy team though. Score a bunch to go 4-1 up then go let 4 in after half time. Can't defend to save their lives. Entertaining though.

Racing Post football betting preview out on the 5th. Currently like Aston Villa to be relegated. Think you can get 5/1 in places

Could be a very productive season for the judas bet.

Opposition to win to nil every week would probably see you in profit over the season.
