Three picks I've had my eye on since the weekend. I've backed them all but I'm waiting for additional news before committing a bit more.

Gloucester v Cheshunt.
Due to big problems at the club, Cheshunt only fielded 2 regular first teamers at the weekend and lost 6 nil. I'm waiting for updates but I think it'll be more of them same here.
Gloucester win @ 8/15.

Oxford Utd v Weymouth.
Weymouth are another club with problems. 1 point earned since October 20th. They've made a couple of new signings but I'm going for in form Oxford to do them.
Oxford win @ 8/11

Chelsea v Everton.
1st leg of the carling cup. Chelsea are likely to be depleted cos of injuries and the african nations cup. They're unbalanced, probably a bit knackered, and have been struggling to grind out results against weaker opposition for a while now, even Newcastle outplayed them ffs. No Pienaar for Everton which is a pity but Everton are good enough to get a result here. Everton's defence is solid and I can't see where Chelsea's goals are going to come from.
Everton +1 @ Evens
Everton Draw No Bet @ 11/4. (down to 5/2 now I think)

I also like Seville's chances against Barcelona but I'm waiting for more info there as well.

Very interesting pointers..little bit iffy myself about Everton after Saturdays' result , but an excellent shout..

adrian522 · 07-01-2008 6:48pm

Think Everton are playing really well at the moment (despite the Oldham disaster) and should get something from this.

Also Sevilla to beat Barca is a good shout as Barca are terrible at the moment esp. away from home while Sevilla are playing great stuff.
Best chance of a trpohy for both teams as well. Does anyone know if these Copa del rey games are on TV anywhere?

jameshayes · 07-01-2008 8:30pm

For tonight I have/had - Inter Milan Over 2.5 goals, Belenenses v Nacional Draw/Draw and finally Torquay v Burton over 3.5 goals....

paulizei · 07-01-2008 8:45pm

Nacional have a few players out. I've gone for Belenenses, and cleansheet.

All my other Portugal picks have failed this weekend mind.

jameshayes · 07-01-2008 8:48pm

I just put a jff bet on Torquay v Burton CS = 3-2 @ 33-1

What odds did you get on the draw/draw?

jameshayes · 08-01-2008 1:28am

5.20 on betfair... I couldn't turn it down

jameshayes · 08-01-2008 1:37am

Last bet of the day;

Minnesota @ Dallas - Over 5.5 goals @ 2.22 (BF)

hf4z6sqo7vjngi · 08-01-2008 2:10am

1st bet €30 treble potential return €169.32

Swansea v Brighton - Swansea to win at 4/6, they have won 4 and drawn 1 in there last 5 outings scoring 20 goals so are a team in form. Might be worth looking at the odds for overs 3.5 currently 9/4 on Blue Square

Altrincham v Kiddmr Harriers - Harriers to win at 11/10 they have won their last 5 away games and are 6 for 6 on form. Altrincham have lost there last 2 and are out of form at the moment.

Oxford v Weymouth - Oxford to win at 8/13 for reasons stated in previous post

2nd bet €20 "treble gambool" potential return €189.00

everton +1 @ 11/10 - close game hopeful everton can pull off a performance
rangers @ 1/3 - should be an easy win
orient draw @ 9/4 - just has draw written all over it

jameshayes · 08-01-2008 10:51am

What do people think about the Carling cup tonight?

I'm smelling 2 draws to be honest

i think chelsea-everton could be a boring 0-0 no goalscorer on paddy power is 15/2 so ill probably have a small bet on that

Keano · 08-01-2008 11:03am

everton +1 @ 11/10 - close game hopeful everton can pull off a performance

I think that is a great bet. Chelsea are seriously lacking firepower and Everton have a great chance I think

Everton will miss Arteta lot, that's my only reservation. But he missed the game at Man Utd too and they played well there. Chelsea have bigger problems and have been very lucky with their last few results so I'm sticking with Everton + 1 and a couple of quid on 0-1, 0-2 CS in addition to the draw no bet @ 11/4 I took earlier.

jameshayes · 08-01-2008 11:15am

just looking around some other betting foums and seems that people are backing Everton....

Careful there, it's a paint trophy game, a chance for the reserves to get a go, and Swansea's fixture list is chockers.

Also lost battle to use 14 day rule to keep Pinnear from the ANC.

Saying that Chelsea have been iffy of late.

yes good point, its the only reservation i have

paulizei · 08-01-2008 3:20pm

Time of First Booking - Up to and Including the 29th minute @ 10/11 looks quite good to me. Chelsea are durty. Everton are pretty clean but without the creative Arteta, I'd expect them to be fairly physical, as they were against Man Utd when there were 6 yellows.

A few of the bookies have readjusted their markets towards Everton. This however tempts me back towards Chelsea. William Hill are 5/6 on them now. On Betfair you can get 10/11 or so. This just seems very big to me now.

These thoughts put me away from Swansea. I put a small lay on them at 1.74

Keano · 08-01-2008 6:49pm

I have gone for Everton +1 @ 10/11

raheny red · 08-01-2008 6:51pm

I've gone with Rangers at 10/11 for the double result with Terry Rogers tonight. I think that's a great price and they will win comfortably imo. Many other firms have the double result at 4/6. Here's hoping :cool:, also have a very small punt on Everton ht Chelsea ft.

adrian522 · 08-01-2008 7:25pm

My bet for the evening as follows: 4.39 on Betfair:

1 St Mirren v Rangers (Backing Rangers @ 1.36)
2 Chelsea v Everton (Laying Chelsea @ 2.02)
3 Oxford Utd v Weymouth (Backing Oxford Utd @ 1.63)

Fingers Crossed.....

ErinGoBrath · 08-01-2008 7:36pm

In everton we trust

1 St Mirren v Rangers (Backing Rangers @ 1.36)
2 Chelsea v Everton (Backing Everton @ 4.55)

30 on @ 6.18

dsmythy · 08-01-2008 8:37pm

Sorry folks. Rangers match is off due to waterlogged pitch.

ErinGoBrath · 08-01-2008 8:46pm

4 on Neville to score at anytime @ 32.0
6 on Lescott to score at anytime @ 11.5

Chance my arm

7:50 Booking
Foul by Michael Ballack (Chelsea) on Phil Neville (Everton). Lee Carsley (Everton) booked for dissent.

Well I'm up a bit for now. Not enough to cover any potential losses though.

Good call. I might get on the sending off. Looks like it might be a heated affair...

paulizei · 08-01-2008 9:17pm

Oops. Soft goal.

Keano · 09-01-2008 10:32am

Oh lescott and howard I could bash your 2 heads together! I was watching the match with my brother and he had under 2.5 goals done so we were both quids in...

The joys of gambling!

Boards then went down last night so I could not share my pain with anyone
