Liverpool v Lille

Can the bin-dippers be as lazy and half-hearted as they were against Wigan. I hope not.

Lay of Lille for 23 groats (liability 50 groats)

Back Lille correct score 1-0 7.5 groats

Back Lille correct score 2-0 4 groats

Back Lille correct score 2-1 5.5 groats

Total bet 67 groats

Total returns 72 groats (profit of 5 groats)

Man Utd v AC Milan

With Rooney back I can see Man Utd winning this match. However, as this is a 'slow' tunnel to dig I have gone for the safe approach and backed United to qualify at 1.08 for for a profit of 5 groats.

The aim of the game here is to slowly build a large bank. The only time I tried to rush ahead I ended up losing. Never again.

WON

Arsenal v Porto

Lay of Porto to be winning at half-time is my bet for tonight.

50 groats for a return of 59 groats (9 groats potential profit)

WON

Bad night. Its was a toss up over whether to use the 1-0 or 2-1 as back up. Picked the wrong one!!!

LOSE

Wigan v Liverpool

With Torres back I can see Liverpool at least scoring. I also think the new pitch will help Liverpool more than Wigan.

Lay of Wigan for 16.5 groats with a liability of 95.5 groats

Back Wigan correct score 2-1 for 4.5 groats.

Total bet 100 groats

Total returns 111 groats (11 groats profit)

LOSE

Chelsea v Stoke

Despite Stoke's habit of doing well against the big teams, I have to go for Chelsea to bouce back after their poor showing against Man City.


I going to lay Stoke to be winning at half-time at 11 for 10 groats (liability of 100 groats)

WON

Starting Bank 200 groats

Current Bank (after 5 days) 251 groats
