+£559.

Annoying last week, but to be fair not as annoyuing as it would have been if I'd gone with the Manchester derby with that very last minute goal.

I could do with a win before the season finishes, although am guranteed to finish in the black, so I'll stick with the draw theme and plump for Wolves/Blackburn today. Such is Wolves' tightness of defence and inability to score, you would go for 0-0, but I'm not a correct score fan.
23/10 High St, a marginally better 3.4 Betfair.

Accas:

Homes: Man Utd (1/2), Bolton (4/7), West Ham (5/6), Villa (8/13), Everton (2/5), Chelsea (2/13)
Draws: Hull (23/10), Arsenal (5/2)(nb), Wolves (23/10)(nap)
Aways: Liverpool (8/13)

+£789

Wolves quick on the draw as usual. I can see Fulham riding the crest of the wave this weekend. West Ham are broken and Zola has got away with it this year simply because there were 3 worse teams than them in the Premier League this year. 11/8 High St, 2.5 Betfair.

Accas:
Homes: Man City (5/6), Spurs (2/7), Fulham (11/ 8) (nap), Wigan (4/5), Blackburn (5/2)
Draws: Blues (16/5), Stoke (23/10), Liverpool (14/5), Sunderland (4/1)
Aways: Wolves (21/10)(nb)

+£931 hopefully I can break the £1k mark for the season with the last bet tomorrow.

I favour Bolton tomorrow at home to Blues. Non event final day matches often result in above average performances from home sides looking towards the beach. 6/5 High St, a not much better 2.34 Betfair.

Accas:
Homes: Arsenal (1/5), Villa (4/7), Bolton (6/5)(nap), Chelsea (1/9), Everton (2/7), Man Utd (1/ 8) .
Draws: Wolves (9/4)(nb)
Aways: Spurs (4/9), Liverpool (4/7), Man City (4/5)

Enjoy the summer. All starts again in August!

Solid result. I thought the curse of the last half of the season was going to wipeout the profit, but a nice upturn in profits to finish there.

Well done dude - was hoping you would lose.

Do you win everyyear?

Overall over say the last 5 years are you up/down

And how about the WCup?

Interested

2006/7: +£218.75
2007/8: -£359
2008/9: +£111
2009/10: +£1058

This season has put me firmly in the black, but my method of betting is fairly low volatility for what is a high weekly stake.

I shall probably have some bets on laying 0-0's during the World Cup, since I find that gives me most interest in matches I would otherwise struggle to find interest in. It's also possible to go on a decent run if you're prepared to parlay it up. I'll probably lay to a £100 and see how long it takes to fall over. Very lucrative if I can go all 63 games but frankly unlikely.

Not sure why you wanted me to lose though.

Like the sound of your plan QM. What are typical odds of nil nil between relatively evenly matched teams?

Well, that didn't take long to go wrong. Won £14 on 1st match, lost £114 on second. Will start again today.

Are you going to stick with it QM? So far with a couple of exceptions there has been a distinct lack of attacking flair and if anything the much maligned ball seems to have caused more problems for the attackers rather than the keepers.

I must admit that whilst I had the French game down as 0-0 I expected today's to have a few goals in it.

I imagine not much to be made from tonight's game if you stick to the 'rule' of laying to £100 liability.
