Leicester to beat Coventry

£44, I know though that one will probably ruin it for me!

Too early to be doing fixed odds, let the season settle, work out who is shite and who is ok, that's why the 'both teams to score' bet is an adequate alternative for a few weeks.

Tony Le Mesmer Anyone care to divulge their ante post bets for the season? Ive spent a lifetime at being shit on ante post selections, but pretty much everything i touched turned to gold last year. Ive backed Brighton on the spreads, maybe 1 or 2 more before the months out.


Will post mine up later.

I've got £1 each way on Aguero, Austin and Curo to be top scorers at 8000/1 8)

Also have £2 on Wigan relegated and West Ham, Orient and Northampton promoted at about 300/1.

I feel reasonably comfortable about Man U and Leicester but only a fool would gamble on the outcome of Leagues 1 & 2

Consequently, I have:

Manchester United / Leicester / Brentford / Southend

I'm not convinced by Man Utd (mainly because VDS has retired) or Leicester (buying an entirely new backline could go horribly wrong), but hey ho.

I've done it slightly differently, I've got: West Ham / Bayern Munich / Marseille / FC Twente.

Have backed Scunthorpe to go down from League 1 (14s) and Bradford from League 2 (16s). Both prices are way to big.

Going to stick my neck on the line and say Leicester are just about the worst value bet across all 4 divisions. A manager with a terrible recent track record and a lucky one before that. I personally dont think they have spent well either.

Bundesliga is a very dangerous league to bet on...

I see Betfred have slashed their odds for the goals galore. 5 teams used to be 17/1 last season, now 10/1. Will be looking elsewhere for better odds now.

already on it. betfred have 2 coupons in shop, one with a blue banner, one with a red banner (previously k/a euro goals galore)

red banner pays 4/1 - 3 selections, 8/1 - 4 selections, 14/1 - 5 selections etc, and still includes all british leagues, albeit with a few games missing.

so this weekend you can have: newcastle v arsenal, liverpool v sunderland, ipswich v hull @ 4/1 on the red banner coupon. Not bad considering last season it would have been 9/2, but if you used the blue banner coupon for the same games you only get 3/1. Cheeky.

Ladbrokes have also improved their odds on the 'goal rush' coupon, the same 3 selections as above pay 4.8/1, even better.


Ladbrokes will pay 3.4/1 - watford v derby, leeds v middlesborough and blackpool v peterborough whereas betfred is 3/1 (blue banner coupon only)


I'm sure Ladbrokes will get smashed and reduce these odds before too long so go in hard while you can...

Because Bayern lost their first game? :lol: Still odds on for the title, Sahin is a big loss for Dortmund.

West Ham also lost, and Marseille only drew.

Is that online or just in the shop?
