Fixed Odds

Wolves 11/10, have put together a decent run over the last three weeks, undefeated and conceding only one goal. At the same time Leicester have slipped to the bottom of the premier League. 3 points for Wolves. A win for Wolves could see them jump 4 places and out of the relegation zone.

Millwall 17/10, are as unreliable as ever but the new manager has got off to a good start, notwithstanding a wee disagreement with the ref last week. They look good value to grab 3 valuable points at Burnley.

Cardiff 6/4, Just how good are Cardiff? I think they have promotion prospects and this is the sort of home game they must win if they are to entertain visions of the Premiership beyond Xmas. West Ham will not be easy to beat but Tony Vidmar may retain the captaincy for Cardiff this weekend, who could dare to oppose them?

Hearts EV's, Despite a gubbing last weekend I can't envisage anything other than 3 points for Hearts at Firhill. The Jags have only taken 1 pont from 4 home games so far and while Hearts away form is not terribly inspiring either they should get the points with something to spare.

Stirling 10/11, take on 2nd placed Stranraer in a top of Div 3 clash. Stirling have only dropped 2 points this season, a home win would see them go 11 points clear at the top. This weekends banker.

Bet: 5 x £1 4 timers + £2 acc, £7 total bet, pays £224.13

Spread Betting

Last weeks recommended bet on Arteta almost payed a handsome dividend only to be denied by the crossbar. I will be sticking with Arteta 'goal minutes' myself this weekend but I don't want to bore you all by making the same selection every week even if I do believe it will pay off in the long term.


This weekend I suggest a BUY on 'The Hotshots' , Livi v Rangers, in this bet 4 players are nominated, 2 from each team. The 4 players are Mols, Averladze, Lilley & Fernandez. Each goal scored by any of the 4 earns 25 points. The spread is 32-36 so to a £1 stake no goals you lose £36, 1 goal you lose £11, 2 goals you win £14, 3 goals you win £39. It's about time Mols got back on track lets hope he gets a hat trick.
