Exeter have hit a rich vein of form recently, could be a tough game for Bury.

Wouldn't touch Italy with a Venetian gondola paddle personally.

Silly season has arrived:
Dagenham v Barnet
England
Finland
Austria
Switzerland
Denmark
Israel
Greece
Slovakia
Belgium
Spain
Holland
Oldham v Hereford
Scunthorpe v Crewe
@ £1 pays £19.75

More sensible:
Accrington v Bradford (Accrington without a win in 7 IIRC)
Bournemouth v Rotherham
Grimsby v Wycombe
Partick v Airdrie
Ross County v Morton
@ £1 pays £31.67.
5/6 on County has to be a steal.

I'm guessing that's put on with Ladbrokes, their odds return the closest to that on Oddschecker.
They are, however, the joint worst odds of all main bookies, go to most other places and you would have got about 27/1.

Also, the mathematical odds of that coming up are at best 96.8/1, every time you add a team you have another 12.5% of bookies markup to take into account.

Appreciate it's probably a throwaway line, but if you pick up £19.75 it should be a hollow victory considering what you could have picked up, and the mathematical odds you have beaten.

For the amount of teams you have on that, that really is a poor payout. Part of the reason I don't really like betting on International football.

It's always the same with the internationals, you need to pick a shed-load of results to get a decent payout so I tend to either not touch them, or put silly money on a couple of 'bankers' to get a small return and hence more cash to put on when the domestic games come round again. Probably won't touch them this week though.

Wycombe, Scunthorpe, Shrewsbury and Bradford.

Yep. On supposed "dead certs" at club football (say Celtic v Hamilton), you'll normally see something like 1/6 being offered, but I've seen 1/100 been offered for international fixtures (say France v San Marino).

I also find that aways are really dangerous in international fixtures. Home advantage is far more pronounced.

aye i ll be there mate

anyhoo my teams for this weekend will be

Portugal away to sweden 6/5 - tend to stay away from international matches but portugal really need a win in their group after losing to denmark in the last minutes of their encounter. 6/5 is brilliant price and they have ronaldo back also.

scunthorpe to beat crewe 8/15 - scunthorpe will be on a high after destroying wycombe in midweek and should be to strong for crewe.

wycombe to beat grimsby 10/11 - although as mentioned just there with their encounter with scunthorpe, i think they should have enough to pick up a win against a team that havent even picked up a win yet in the league.

Shrewsbury to beat pot vale 8/15 - Shrewsbury have been impressive at home so far this season and have still to concede a league goal at home, not to mention scoring for fun averaging 3.5 goals in each of their home games. Should easily beat crewe.

Oldham to beat Hereford 4/7 - Hereford are very poor away from home and have still to pick up any points on their travels. Oldham are again very formidable at home and should easily beat hereford by quite a margin.

odds work out at 15.5 with william hill.

On the advice of the russian and will staying away from the bury-exeter game as he is usually right about what teams you shouldnt pick. Also saw a tempting price of 2/1 for paraguay to beat columbia away. With them being on fire just now in their group, it is quite tempting to have a go with them.

Sounds about right for Accrington, but Bradford have been off colour lately as well, especially away from home. Try Shrewsbury to beat Port Vale at home wink.gif
Owsley
It was Shrewsbury who won 7-0 at Wycombe, jambo-rocker, not Scunny. Grimsby have a new manager for this one too. Might be worth betting on Colchester at leaky Cheltenham for this reason.

£10 on this four fold.

Leeds v Brighton
Scunthorpe v Crewe
Oldham v Hereford(Sun)
Shrewsbury v Port Vale

returns £64.67 at PP, miles better than anywhere else(didn't check betfair though).

Got my second free bet loyalty bonus from bet365 in the space of a month(Thank you for giving us so much of your money.) Put it on Scotland 3 Norway 1. Tempted to stick a quid on Iwelumo and 3-1, pays 85/1 at skybet and Blue Sq but only 50/1 at bet365 for some reason.
vlad is the man
Thinking about £10 on:

Switzerland 8/13
Serbia 8/15
Scunthorpe 1/2
Bradford Evs - Was going to do Wycombe but Grimbsy have just hired Mike Newell so staying away from that as it is his first league game (I think).
Shrewsbury 4/9

Returns £107.33 with Ladbrokes.

£3 on:

Dagenham 8/13
Slovenia Evs
Turkey 4/11
Ecuador 11/10
Oldham 8/15
Partick 8/11
Rotherham 6/4

Returns £188.77.

Indeed it was Ladbrokes - tbh at a £1 I'm not too bothered about the outcome: the odds on internationals are terrible anyway. I hope my second line is better - seems on paper to have a decent chance anyway.

Just got a anytime scorer trixie tomorrow so far, Nkufo 7/5, Torres 10/11 & Di Natale 2/1. Will probably back Carew if he starts as well and pick an accy for the lower leagues on the train, international weekends are gash.

Saw that last night and thought they were a decent shout.Just hope they are as up for it as last week.If so they should have no problems disposing of Morton.
the_russian
Lots of folk backing Germany against Russia, is 4/6 not a bit short though?

I put a £15 treble on Scunthorpe, Wycombe and Shrewsbury for £67.50, and a £1.25 (£5) trixie on Portugal, Czech Republic and Bradford for £36.99

Ronak my bookie, will be sizzling as he hands over my wad of cash this evening. (i'm actually not that confident about this weekend though, put my bets on after 7 pints which is never a good idea)
choirbairn
As usual on international weekend, I've picked a few games which I think will be tight and permed them as draws.
This time it's any 3/4/5/6 from the games in Scotland, Poland, Slovenia, Georgia, Ukraine and Sweden. Small stakes aimed at a decent return - 42x10p bets returns £600 plus.
Also taken a treble tonight on Germany, France and Italy which pays around 7/1.
Domestically, Bristol Rovers, Scunthorpe, Bury, Gillingham and Shrewsbury combined pays just over 17/1.

Don't really know. Morton are gash in the league but good in cup competion including beating QOS at Palmerston to get here and also beating Hibs and taking Inverness to extra time. I personally wouldn't touch the game.

Four out of six paid £25.87 smile.gif
Had four up with two games still to finish. Knew Poland were 2-0 up and was checking on the Slovenia-Northern Ireland match every once in a while in between watching the darts.
I checked when 82 minutes and however many seconds had gone and it was 0-0. Couldn't believe it when I turned back and saw 86 minutes had been played and it was 2-0.
Five out of six would have paid roughly £135 sad.gif
Still, even allowing for the other guff lines, I made a profit - and there's always Wednesday ...
