I am down to the last 3 in a competition and could win big
Wouldn't be so sure about Newcastle, they seem to play better against teams higher in the table

Personally would go with Arsenal/Bournemouth
Bournemouth have been shit for the last 4 months. Would avoid them.

Brighton / Arsenal for me. Newcastle also considered
Arsenal let me down last time I did this with their bent as f**k 2-2 draw at home to Southampton. Not keen on going for them again.

My Newcastle thinking is more around their opponents being so sh*t

Pukki always has a goal in him though.

To be fair, apart from one dismal performance against United, Norwich haven’t been so poor of late

Wycombe currently second, and three points off the top. They're 33/1 to win the league :|

I assumed that meant they had a very unfortunate fixture list to come, but they dont. With 16 left to play you would expect a few tough games and they have Cov & Rotherham, but not too much else in terms of automatic promotion rivals.

Skybet put them at 10th favourite to win the league. I know their form is not the best and others have games in hand, but still.

13/2 to get promoted. 8th favourite to go up, after Oxford who are in 10th and just lost their best 2 players. Wtf?!

Rotherham don't play midweek, and Wycombe are at home to Fleetwood, so there's a good chance they'll be joint top by 10pm Tuesday. Would be silly not to have a nibble at those odds.

Looks good, Wycombe v Fleetwood would be the one that could let you down I think.

progressing fine for now.

Fulham 7th
Peterborough 1st
Plymouth 8th

Current cash out offer is £10.67
cash out up to £19.36. A win for Fulham tonight will see them go 2nd and push that up even further.

Wow! Bristol City just three points off them and top of the form table, while Leeds are 21st. You can also get 6/1 draw no bet :shock:

I am now putting two tenners on every Liverpool League match (draw or lose). It's got to happen one day, and the odds are outrageous.


ps have lost about 100 euro using this approach so far.
