May 2007:
Fulham Relegation from the Premiership 2008/9 It might be a long-term bet and it could be argued that the 7-5 available from VCBet for Wigan to be relegated next season is too short a price given that, but it is very difficult to envisage Wigan avaoiding the drop next term. Pending
Championship Play-Off Derby County and West Brom Booking Points Spread The Booking Points spread with Sporting Index for the game is 52-56, based on 10-points for a yellow card and 25-points for a red card (maximum points = 35 per player). Given everything that is at stake and the occasion itself, that might just be a tad on the low side and therefore warrants a buy. Win at + 24 Points
Championship Play-Off Derby County and West Brom First Booking This is not a punt to go overboard on, but the even money W.B.A. to be the first carded team does look a little big. Loss
League 1 Playoff Blackpool v Yeovil The second-half should be more open, so the 11-10 available with Bet365 for there to be more goals in the second-half looks a good price. Loss
America v Figueirense Brazilian Serie A The 10-11 available with Stan James on newly promoted America would not normally be a price worth considering, but under the circumstances it does look worth an interest. Loss
Toulouse v Bordeaux France Le Championnat The additional points and the change in the situation as a result has yet to register with some bookies, so the 2-1 on the Toulouse win with Betdirect looks well worth a look, albeit taking into account that the game is of major significance for Bordeaux too. Win
League Two Play-off Final Bristol Rovers v Shrewsbury The 7-5 available on a Bristol Rovers win within the 90-minutes with VCBet looks a fair bet. Win
Newcastle signing from Bolton He will be looking to bolster his options at the back quickly, so the availability of Ben Haim looks ideal. Ladbrokes price of 5-1 on him being the first Newcastle signing from Bolton by Allardyce looks very tempting. Pending
Milton Keynes Dons Promotion from Coca-Cola League Two The 8-5 available with Coral on MK Dons to win promotion from League Two look like decent odds for a team that looks to have an edge over the others. Loss
Shrewsbury v Milton Keynes Dons Coca-Cola League Two All things considered, the 8-13 available with Bet365 for MK Dons to progress to the final at the expense of Shrewsbury looks a good bet. Pending
Boca Juniors - Argentina Clausura Title the 6-4 available with BetFred on Boca Juniors to win the title - one they lost so dramatically to Estudiantes last term - looks a decent punt. Pending
Copa Libertadores Santos v America The 1-2 available with William Hill on Santos to win the game in the Copa Liberatdores might not be the most attractive price, but it is difficult to envisage any other outcome. Win
Spread Betting Tip - AC Milan v Liverpool That looks a tad on the low side given all that is at stake and looks to be a buy, with five yellow cards or two yellow cards and a red card being enough to secure a winning bet (90-minutes only). Loss
AC Milan v Liverpool UEFA Champions League The bet could therefore be Liverpool at 0,+0.5 on the Asian Handicap at 24-25 with Expekt. That would ensure a winning bet should Liverpool prevail in 90-minutes, but with the safety net of you winning half your stake multiplied by the price, with half your stake being returned if it finishes all square after 90-minutes. Loss
Hibernian v Celtic Scotland Premier League If Celtic can find any sort of motivation at Easter Road, the 23-20 available for the away win with Expekt will look a very decent price. Loss
Chelsea v Man Utd FA Cup The result is likely to be a closely fought encounter, with Portlandbet's 21-10 on the game being a draw at 90-minutes looking a very possible outcome. Win
AC Ajaccio v Montpellier France Ligue 2 There is speculation that the hosts may be less than committed to the game, so the 27-20 available for the Montpellier win with Betway looks like a decent punt. Win
Spread Football Betting Tip
Sporting Index have a spread of 8-11 on the tie with Oldham, based on 10points for qualifying for the final and 3points per goal won by. Therefore, were Blackpool to draw the 2nd leg 0:0, they would progress 2:1 on aggregate, so that would be 13-points. With the spread being just 8-11, that seems to be under-estimating the Seasiders somewhat and makes if look a buy. Win
Blackburn v Reading Premiership the 61-50 available with Expekt for Blackburn -0.5 on the Asian Handicap looks a nice bet, ensuring a win for any Blackburn victory. Loss
West Brom v Wolverhampton Coca-Cola League Championship the 10-11 available with Premierbet for over 2.5 goals in the game (90-minutes only) looks a decent price. Loss
Espanyol v Sevilla UEFA Cup the 39-40 available with Bet365 for Sevilla –0.5 on the Asian Handicap looks like a bet worth taking, ensuring a winning punt for any Sevilla victory (in 90-minutes). Loss
Sheff Utd v Wigan Barclays Premiership the 8-1 available with Ladbrokes on the Double Result of half-time: draw; full-time: Wigan, looks well worth a small interest. Loss
Parana v Gremio Campeonato Brasileiro The 6-5 available on Parana with Bluesq looks a tempting price under the circumstances. Win
Real Madrid v Espanyol Spain Primera Liga 4-5 available with BetFred on the Asian Handicap for Real Madrid -1.5 looks a fair shout, ensuring a winning punt for any home victory by two goals or more. Loss
Southampton v Derby Coca-Cola League Championship Over the two legs this looks likely to be extremely tight, but with the momentum seemingly behind Southampton, they look worth backing to qualify for the final at evens with Ladbrokes. Loss
Zaglebie Lublin v MKS Pogon Szczecin Poland Ekstraklasa The odds for the home win are naturally way too short to worry about for our purposes, but the 3-4 available with Bet365 for Zaglebie Lubin -1.5 on the Asian Handicap does have some appeal, paying out for any home victory by a margin of two goals or more. Win
Caen v Reims France Ligue 2 The odds on the Caen win are too short ot worry about, so the bet here looks to be on the Asian Handicap, with CanBet offering Caen -1 at 73-100. That would ensure a full winning bet for any Caen victory by two goals or more, while a one-goal winning margin would still ensure that you get your stake money back. Money Back
Colo Colo v America Copa Libertadores The 8-13 available on the Colo-Colo win with Ladbrokes looks worth taking under the circumstances. Win
Luton v Sunderland League Championship With Preston having plenty left to play for and Sunderland likely to be roared on by vociferous away support and with manager Roy Keane not the type to allow his players to take things easy, the bet looks to be the 21-20 available with Expekt on Sunderland to win the league. Win
Gillingham v Yeovil League One The 11-8 available with Ladbrokes on the Gillingham win certainly looks to be on the generous side. Loss
AC Milan v Man Utd UEFA Champions League This looks unlikely to be anything like as cautious a game as last night's match between Liverpool and Chelsea and the 11-10 available with Coral on there being over 2.5 goals looks a decent bet under the circumstances. Win
Le Havre v Dijon France Ligue 2 the 8-11 available with Pinnacle for Le Havre -0.5 on the Asian Handicap looks a decent punt, providing a winning bet provided that they win the game. Loss
