Not worth a buck

There's plenty of Europa League action going on, but it's not worth my money or time. Let's take a break today. We are not addicts, we don't need to bet each and everyday...

Inter at 4/7
Lyon not to lose at 1/3

Points Comparison

I took a look at this seasons results so far and compared it with the corresponding fixture from last season. For Newcastle, West Brom, and Blackpool, I used Burnley, Hull, and Portsmouth respectively.

Chelsea +5 points
Newcastle +4
West Brom +4
Blackpool +3
Man Utd +2
Birmingham +2
Villa +2
Arsenal +1
Blackburn +1
Stoke +1
Man City 0
Liverpool 0
Wolves -1
Fulham -2
Sunderland -2
Bolton -2
West Ham -2
Wigan -3
Everton -6
Spurs -7

So the people who have said nobody can stop Chelsea this year have been promptly reminded that Chelsea's games have not been tough, but they can come back with the fact that they are 5 points better off from these fixtures compared to last year. On the other end, West Ham and Wigan ought to be worried about relegation, and Everton and Spurs might want to think about top10 before they think about Europe.

The Quest

The Champions League begins today and so the quest to be crowned Europe's elite.

It's knockout football at it's finest.

Put your standard on the following tonight:
Barcelona at 1/7

Lyon at evens
Twente not to lose at 20/23
Spurs not to lose at 8/11
Ipswich not to lose at 2/5
S Australia at 6/4 (T20)

Man United to win at 1/5 is the bet of the day, put 10 times your standard on it.

Here are the long term Champions League bets:
5 times your standard on all English Teams to qualify at a ridiculous 13/1 with Betfair.
5 times your standard on 3 English Team to qualify at an equally ridiculous 41/10 with Betfair.

Murray Blues

I am still hurting this morning, what on earth was that performance from Murray last night. Out of nowhere. I don't buy an injury, he always looks like that when he's about to lose. The good thing is that he isn't using the injury as as excuse, he says Wawrinka was just better than him. The thing that cuts these players from the rest is their ability to adapt, that is what was missing last night.

Anyway, put your standard on the following today:
Monfils at 11/10
Over 3.5 sets in the Djokovic-Fish match at 8/11
Federer to win 3-0 at 4/7
Over 3.5 sets in the Soderling-Montanes at 6/4

The bet of the day is a Nadal-Federer final at 13/11, put 10 times your standard on it.

Llodra at 4/6
Isner at 6/5
Clijsters at 2/7
V Williams at 1/5
Pavlyuchenkova at 8/11
Stosur at 13/10

The bet of the day is England to win the T20 at 8/15, put 10 times your standard on it. I know it's T20 cricket but with Pakistan one batsman and two class bowlers less you'd favour England strongly. It's a risk as it is such a short game but it's good value.
