Best Bet Soccer Selections For 26 September 2009

bbslogo2cm

Three of four of our midweek selections won to give us a profit of a little over GBP 100 from our 4 GBP 10 trebles and 1 GBP 10 accumulator.

For this weekend all of our selections are on Saturday: Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Marseilles. Our bet with William Hill (click link in sidebar to bet) should return over GBP 400 and a profit of over GBP 300 for all wins!

Longer odds this week so here´s hoping!

Best Bet Soccer – An Opinion

bbslogo2cm

We are not going to crow in this post about the results this weekend. However, we have to mention that our trixie was fully successful returning over £150 profit. At the time of posting we are also on a roll with our second bet for the weekend — a perm of four trebles from four selections with a four up accumulator. AC Milan, Sampdoria and Toulouse have already won this afternoon. We are waiting on Valencia this evening for our “full house”. Whatever happens we will not be hedging on or against Valencia. We stand to lose a maximum of only £19 on that bet and will sit tight for the bigger potential profit of £289.99.

Why we are publishing this post is because of the situation we’ve witnessed in the Chelsea versus Tottenham game this afternoon. There’s no doubt that when Keane was brought down in the penalty area it was either a penalty or a dive. If the referee did not give a penalty (as was the case) surely he had to go with his convictions and book Keane for the dive! Was he afraid that by booking Keane this could have led to a later enquiry that would have shown up his shortcomings? It is obvious that the penalty should have been given. Without a doubt the referee’s error had a significant effect on the outcome of the game. It’s all very well to say that Chelsea went on to score two more goals and won comfortably. Had the penalty been given and Tottenham had scored for 1-1 the opportunities that Chelsea had simply would not have come about. The game would have restarted from the kick-off and been totally different.

Surely the time has come, in this modern day and age where the technology is available and with so much riding on the game (it could mean the differencebetween winning the league or not for either side at the end of the season) we have to make full use of it, use as many referees or “officials” as necessary and possibly use replays during the course of the game to ensure that the outcome is not affected by an erroneous decisions!

Part of the reason for not using video evidence is that it would delay the game. However, although not in this case, there are often such arguments on pitch about the outcome of a decision that more time could be saved by using video evidence than lost! We believe it really is time to reconsider the situation.

Best Bet Soccer Second Bet – 19 September 2009

bbslogo2cm

We’ve come up with a second bet this weekend.

Our problem was that we narrowed it down to four matches and couldn’t decide which selection to omit. We therefore decided to change our bet and instead of a trixie we’re going for a four timer accumulator and the full perm  of four trebles.
The matches we’ve come up with are AC Milan to beat Bologna, Valencia to beat Sporting Gijon, Sampdoria to beat Siena and  Toulouse to beat Le Mans. We’ve back them in four (that is a full perm of) trebels and a four-time accumulator at £20 each being a total stake for the five bets of £100. We’ve placed our bet with William Hill and the potential return is a total of £389.93 for our £100 stake.

This is a follow-up to or original bet where Aston Villa and Newcastle United have already won. The final outcome of that bet is resting on Inter Milan tomorrow afternoon.

Check out the odds with William Hill.

With the fourth selection we need even more good luck with this bet!

Best Bet Soccer Selections for 19 and September 2009

bbslogo2cm

Well, following last week’s successes we have what we consider to be three absolute standout selections this week for our Best Bet Soccer trixie.

We start in the UK where Aston Villa are at home to Portsmouth. The odds of  2/5 on the face of it do not appear to be over generous. However, Aston Villa have recovered well from a poor start to the season and Portsmouth really are in the doldrums.

Our second selection is also in the UK, this time in the Championship. We have no hesitation in going for Newcastle United to beat Plymouth Argyle. To us Newcastle look certain to make an immediate return to the Premiership whereas the way Plymouth Argyle are playing at present they appear to be destined for League One. Again the odds of 2/5 do not appear to be over generous but given the outstanding chance of Newcastle we feel that we must put them in our bet this week.

Finally we make our third selection in Italy, tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon where Inter Milan are a way to Cagliari. The odds of 7/10 offered on Inter seem to us to be extremely generous and could well be worth backing as a single.

We placed our bed with Totesport where the potential return of £251.34 for our £25 trixie (potential profit £151.30) is marginally better than those we could find on offer elsewhere.

Bet now with totesport

Regards and good luck.

Best Bet Soccer Results – 12 to 16 September 2009

bbslogo2cm

What a good few days for Best Bet Soccer.

OK, one of our two weekend trixies was a total loss but the other produced a return of £342.61 for a profit of £242.61 and our midweek Champions League trixie also produced three winners for a return of £261.94 and profit of £161.94. We staked £20 on hedge bets on the midweek one but the result is still a Best Bet Soccer net profit  of £284.55 over the three bets.

Remember that we set up on 16 March with a betting bank of £300, introducing £100 for our initial bet and holding the remaining £200 available if required. To date we have not had to introduce further funding, the initial £100 and subsequent winnings fully covering all bets. We still have the £200 “in our pocket”. Yes, we’ve had to introduce funds to different bookmaker accounts and withdraw from others to obtain the best odds available and due to the time the withdrawals take we’ve had to sub the deposits for a day or two but the net effect is that we are running on only the initial £100 we introduced!

If we can continue our current run for a week or two we’ll be at the point where we will be increasing our stakes and then things should really get interesting. Why not subscribe to the Beat Bet Soccer FREE email course to receive details of our staking policy?

Regards and good luck.

Best Bet Soccer Champions League Bet – 15 September 2009

bbslogo2cm

We’ve come up with a Best Bet Soccer midweek trixie this week for the first round of Champions League matches — Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Arsenal.

We placed our bet with Boyle Sports where a £25 trixie (£100 total stake) produces potential returns of £261.94 for a £161.94 for profit is all results go all way.

We believe this to be absolutely top-class value for these first-round matches. Manchester United should have absolutely no problem overcoming Besiktas, Bayern Munich have hit a high note and should dispatch Maccabi Haifa without any problem and Arsenal should totally outclasse Standard Liege tomorrow evening.

Fingers crossed and a hopeful of all the luck that’s going.

To Hedge Or Not To Hedge?

bbslogo2cmThe question often arises, should we hedge our bet or should we let things run their normal course? The answer? It depends!

Even more complicated, should we hedge the first or second bet in a series of three or should we only hedge on the last if the first two selections have won? Again the answer, it depends!

Is there a mathematical formula we can use to determine when we should and should not hedge? Probably not!

What is the purpose of hedging our bets?

First we are seeking to protect our stake should our original bet be unsuccessful. We’ll have a bet on an alternative outcome for the event — or possibly both alternative outcomes in a win, lose and draw situation — to produce a return to cover our total stakes on our original bet and the hedge bets.

Secondly we may wish to generate a profit from our hedge bet so that if our original bet is unsuccessful we still end up in front.

However, it is important to remember that our hedge bet stakes will reduce the profits from our original bet if it is ultimately successful. We therefore need to consider the amount of our stakes quite carefully.

When to hedge remains the question.

Without getting technical, the time to hedge is when we can arrive at a position where, following the hedge bet(s) we will not mind what the outcome of the event is and the bet(s) will detract only marginally from the profit on our original bet should it be successful. Unfortunately these circumstances arise most often when we will not wish to hedge. For instance, if our bet is for team A to win and we are considering hedging against the draw or team B winning the best value available on the draw and team B winning will be when team A is winning! The bigger the margin by which team A is winning the better will be the odds for the other outcomes! In the circumstances where team A is winning we may not wish to hedge at all. Where team A is losing or the match is being drawn, as time progresses the odds for the alternative results will reduce or lenghten, depending upon how things stand at the time. The problem is that by the time we decide we should hedge the odds available for the bet we wish to make may have become prohibitively short.

Whether we hedge or not may also depend upon the outcome of other matches in the series. For instance, if we are on the third match of our trixie, the previous two selections having already won producing us a return of say £70 against our £100 total stakes, we may not consider it worthwhile hedging the third match where we stand to lose only £30. However, if we are comparing this with possible winnings of say £250 if the third match goes our way we may be quite prepared to eat into this profit to some extent to guarantee a winning outcome — including a profit on our hedge bet or bets.

We don’t normally hedge on the first two matches in our trixie series. We have, on occasion, hedged on the third match. If we hedge on the early matches we feel that all we are doing is increasing the amount of stakes we have to cover on the last match if the hedge bet “goes wrong” and our original bet is successful on the first two legs.

The principle we use, therefore, it is to let matters run their course and take what the results produce for the first two matches in the three match trixie series. When we get to the third match we may hedge at least to cover our stake and possibly with a view to producing a profit on the hedge bet. We would normally hedge “in play” as we can assess the position as the match progresses. It is also often possible to obtain much better odds during the course of the match depending on how things are panning out rather than placing our hedge bet before the kick-off.

As we mentioned previously, we do not consider the decision to hedge to be a hugely scientific one. It is a question of when we get into the third match if the odds are such that we can generate a level of profit no matter what the outcome, without unduly eating into the profit should our original bet should be successful, we will do so. In deciding whether to hedge we will, of course, take account of the way the match stands at time rather than blindly going ahead with our hedge bet or bets simply because the odds are right. Quite often the odds are in our favour as far as our potential hedge bets are concerned because the state of play is such that our original bet has a high probability of winning. We therefore generally wait until fairly well into the match before we hedge and then only if the odds on offer are suitable.

We have deliberately avoided giving numerical examples in this post as they can be quite misleading. However, it is often possible to obtain high-value odds for the alternative results, particularly when the original selection is winning. For instance, if our selection is winning 1 — 0 with 10 minutes to go and the draw odds are 13 — 2 with the odds for the other team winning at 20 — 1 we may well risk, say, £20 on the draw and £10 on the other team winning to give us an overall profit whatever the outcome. Certainly in the circumstance where we are winning 1 — 0 with 10 minutes to go there is a high likelihood that we would hedge against a draw.

We hope you have found this post of some help considering whether you should hedge your bets. We will generally e-mail our subscribers as we make hedge bets if you follow us on Twitter whenever possible we will “tweet” our hedge bets as we make them.

Wishing you good luck with your betting and in all you do.

Best Bet Soccer Results – 12 and 13 September 2009

bbslogo2cm

Well, we’ve been very much on tenterhooks over the weekend. Bayern Munich got us off to a brilliant start and fully justified our confidence in them. West Brom then followed up with the expected win over Plymouth. We had to wait until today for Rennes to beat St Etienne for a return of £342.61 for our £100 stake on our £25 trixie.

Unfortunately our second trixie for the weekend was not so successful. Middlesbrough did well, beating Ipswich, although this is the type of match that is a “must win” for them if they are to win the league, as we expect. However, we were very surprised that Charlton did not manage to beat Southampton and even more so when AC Milan produced only a draw against Livorno. With only one winner there was no return on our second bet.

All in all its was a successful weekend with a return of £342.61 on our winning bet giving net profit of £142.61 after deducting the £100 stake on or losing bet.

There is a possibility of a midweek bet so don’t forget to return to our blog to find out.

Wishing you all the luck in the world.

Best Bet Soccer Selections – 12 and 13 September 2009

bbslogo2cm

A very good morning to you on this Saturday, 12 September.

In a post yesterday we set out the reasons why we are avoiding the English Premier league this week. We therefore look lower further afield for our selections. In fact we come up with two separate trixie bets for this weekend.

For our first bet we look at Germany, the English second tier (The Championship) the top French league.

In Germany we are sticking with Bayern Munich. Although they got off to a bad start losing against what could be described as technically poorer opposition, in their last league fixture they overwhelmed Wolfsburg. Although Borussia Dortmund should provide a stern test and the Bayern Munich manager has been somewhat disparaging about their chances in the press this week, if they are anywhere near showing their true form that should win this.

Next selection is in the English Championship where West Bromwich take on Plymouth. West Brom are performing reasonably well which is much more than can be said to Plymouth who have managed only two points from their five matches so far. It seems to us that they, Plymouth, are heading for the drop and we have no hesitation in including West Brom in our bet this week.

The final selection for our first trixie is in France where Rennes are at home to St Etienne. Rennes have shown good form, particularly when they drew at home to Marseille. Conversely, St Etienne have looked shaky against comparatively poorer opposition. Normally we would look for a higher placed team than Rennes but in these early season matches we are happy to go more with the winning potential than statistical criteria.

So there you have it. For our first trixie this week we go for Bayern Munich, West Brom and Rennes.

We placed our bet with Stan James for a potential return of £342.61 for our £25 trixie (potential profit of £240.61) is significantly better than we are able to identify with other online bookmakers.

We have a second trixie bet this week. Again we have a selection from the English championship, our second selection is from the English League One and final pick is from Italy.

In the English championship we go for Middlesbrough who are at home to Ipswich. In our view Ipswich is a very poor side. They could surprise us by improving their performance but Middlesbrough really have a Premiership side pedigree and we cannot see them having difficulty coping with anything Ipswich can produce.

For our second selection we go into is the English League One where Charlton take on Southampton. Charlton are flying high having won all six of their matches this season. Conversely,  Southampton have managed only four draws to take four points off their -10 point starting penalty. Charlton should crush Southampton this afternoon.

Our final selection is in Italy where Milan are way too Livorno. It is very early days in the Italian league, only two matches having been played. However, Milan should be far too strong for Livorno who we perceive to be potential relegation material.

We’ve placed a bet with William Hill. The potential return from our £25 trixie is £349.32 (potential profit £249.32). The odds available from Corals  just shade those at William Hill but we find the Corals site extremely slow and it is all but impossible to change or add a debit or credit card. We therefore went for William Hill due to the ease of using their site.

Best Bet Soccer English Premier League Preview — 12th and 13 September 2009

bbslogo2cm

Occasionally we may provide a preview to the whole of the fixtures in a league, especially where we may not be making any of our selections from that league for the weekend in question.

The English Premier League is extremely difficult to predict this week and we have made a brief match by match analysis. We believe you will see from this how difficult this league is this week.

Birmingham versus Aston Villa
Birmingham have made a reasonable start to their Premier League life, particularly at home where they have won one and drawn one of their two fixtures. Aston Villa began the season looking dispirited and highly likely to be relegated. They seemed to pick themselves up against Liverpool a couple of weeks ago and showed what they are made of. We really would not like to predict how this match will turn out.

Blackburn versus Wolves
Again a very difficult match to predict. Blackburn are struggling towards the foot of the table having earned only one point from their three matches so far. However, Wolves form is nothing to write home about. With Blackburn having home advantage we feel that they should shade it but do not consider them to be a betting opportunity.

Fulham versus Everton
It ‘s our view that Fulham should do quite well this season although they have not made the start we had anticipated. This makes them somewhat doubtful, even given home advantage, against Everton, who are themselves somewhat shaky this season so far, and again we do not view this match as a betting opportunity.

Liverpool versus Burnley
We’d be astounded if Liverpool do anything but beat Burnley soundly. However, at odds of 1/5 we really cannot include them in our bet this week and also pass this one over.

Manchester City versus Arsenal
Without a doubt this is one of the matches of the day. Both teams have made an excellent start to the season. Mark Hughes has been taunting Arsenal to some extent indicating that they may not be “tough enough” to cope with a long, hard season doing well in various cup competitions as well as the league. However, this could be the sternest test Manchester City have encountered this season it would be no surprise to us if Arsenal managed to come away with a draw or even all three points! Is too close for us to include any outcome in our bet.

Portsmouth versus Bolton
Portsmouth are bottom of the table and Bolton only one place above them. Neither side have a point and Bolton are higher only on goal difference. This could be Portsmouth’s big chance to get some points on the board but we really do not consider them to be reliable enough to risk money on them.

Stoke versus Chelsea
This could be the one and only betting opportunity in the league. Chelsea are flying high having not dropped a point, scored 10 goals and only conceded 2. However, Stoke have conceded none at home and although they have not scored prolifically could well keep Chelsea at bay. For that reason we cannot include Chelsea in our trixie this week, particularly at odds of 2/5.

Sunderland versus Hull
Hull may well produce a shock against Sunderland. It was our first inclination to include Sunderland in our bet this week. With six points from four games and looking to be playing well as a team, when they are playing teams outside the top six of the league we would generally go with them. However, after taking early batterings, Hull seem to be getting their act together and it would not surprise us if they were able to take home a point is not actually beat Sunderland. Yes, all the pointers are a Sunderland win but again we will not be risking our money on them.

Tottenham versus Manchester United
This must be the match of the day. Tottenham have made a fantastic start to the season winning all four of their games. Manchester United are only three points behind them, having won three out of four. We believe Manchester United to be lacking in a couple of areas this season. With Spurs firing on all four cylinders we really cannot bet against them although it’s quite possible that Manchester United are able to spoil their 100% record and take at least a point from this match. It’s too close to call and therefore we have to leave them out.

Wigan versus West Ham
Wigan are short odds for relegation and have only three points from one away win out of therr four fixtures so far. However, West Ham have not exactly cover themselves with glory although they have earned four points out of six away from home so far. We cannot rely upon West Ham to take three points off Wigan and therefore must leave out this one.

The English Premiership matches are very evenly balanced this week and for that reason we will be looking elsewhere for our selections.

World Cup Qualification Best Bet Soccer Selections

Click here for Best Bet SoccerOur selections are from the European World Cup qualifying groups this week.

Our first pick is France at home to Romania. This is a must win match for France if they are to gain automatic qualification. On their home turf they should be far too good for Romania and we have no hesitation putting them in our bet this week.

Italy too really must beat Georgia if they are not to lose top spot in their group. With a potentially tricky home match against Bulgaria coming up on Wednesday and then travelling to Ireland on 10 October (before their final match at home to Cyprus) a win here would virtually guarantee them a play off place at the very least and they are our second selection.

Finally, Republic of Ireland are away to Cyprus. The latter’s only win in the group was at home to Georgia and we just don’t see them putting up much opposition to ROI who would just about be assured of a playoff place by winning.

So, there it is: Italy, ROI and France. We’ve placed our £25 trixie (£100 total stake) with Blue Square for a potential return of £285.43 (profit £185.43).

Wishing you all good luck.

Multiple Bet Soccer Selection (2) For Weekend

bbslogo2cm

 This weekend we have a very rare second bet — another Trixie.

We are highly confident that our first bet will return around 85% of our stake for one winning double when Rangers beat Hearts. We’ve reviewed the Sunday/Monday fixtures and come up with a second trixie for this round of matches.

We continue to rely upon Rangers and include them in our second bet. We also include Bordeaux later today and Liverpool on Monday evening.

There are several bookmakers offering odds that would produce similar returns. We’ve placed our bet with William Hill where the £25 trixie produces a potential return of £253 for a potential profit of £153.

The very best of luck.

Best Bet Soccer Selections For 22 And 23 August 2009

bbslogo2cm

This week for trixie we’ve made three selections that we believe to be outstanding value.

Selection 1

Our first selection is in the Bundesliga where we go for Bayern Munich away to Mainz, kick off at 2.30 p.m. (all times UK times) today, Saturday. This Bayern are to be anywhere near a challenging to the top of the league this year is the type of fixture they have to win. We have a strong view that Shalke will take all the beating to the league title but consider that Bayern should give them a run for their money. At the league odds on offer (generally available at 4/9) will be consider them to be excellent value for this one.

Selection 2

Our next selection is in the French league where Lyon travel to Auxerre, kick off at 6.00 p.m. today. Following several seasons as the undisputed champions Lyon did not do quite as well last season. If they have any aspirations of challenging at the top of the league this year they have to win matters like this convincingly.

Selection 3

Our final selection is in Scotland where Rangers play away to Hearts tomorrow, kick off 12.4 5 p.m. We believe that Celtic are the outstanding side in the Scottish Premier league this year but Rangers, as always, should be there challenging them for the title. Hearts really are not in the same class as the two likely principals in the race for the title. Rangers should overcome them with ease.

We identified Stan James as the online bookmaker offering overall best odds. For our £25 trixie (total staked £100) potential return is £358.86 a potential profit of £258.86. You can review the prices available in our odds comparison chart on our website.

Here’s to the results going our way!

Best bet soccer results — weekend of 15 and 16 August 2009

bbslogo2cm

What a good start to a trixie this weekend with Celtic somewhat overwhelming Aberdeen.

 When Schalke more or less cruised home against Bochum we were feeling confident.

Marseille scored in the 10th minute and we were feeling even more confident. However, as the game went on and after 80 minutes they remained only one nil up became a little concerned so decided to hedge against the draw to cover or stake. We had £15 against the draw and £5 against Lille winning. At the prices we obtained we almost hoped that the Lille would spring a real surprise in the last few minutes!

Marseille hung on for the win so our trixie this week returns £298.50 for a £198.50 profit. A good start to the European season and now in gear for the season and looking forward to consistent and regular profits!

Best Bet Soccer Selections — 15 and 16 August 2009

bbslogo2cm

Hooray! The European soccer season is getting into gear.

We’ve passed over the first round of matches in the UK  Premiership this week. Both Manchester United and Chelsea are extremely short priced. If Manchester City are to mount a serious challenge to the ”big four” they really need to get off to a winning start away to Blackburn. However, we don’t trust them to do that. As far as we can see there is nothing to choose in many of the other matches between win, lose or draw!

We’ve also passed over Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup. We’ve made our selections from the Scottish Premier, the Bundesliga and from France.

Selection one

Our first selection is Celtic (Saturday, 15 August, 12.45 p.m. kick off — all times UK times) in the Scottish Premier League where they are away to Aberdeen. Rangers and Celtic were so far clear of the rest last year we cannot see them dropping points in this first league fixture of the season. Although Aberdeen finished last season in fourth place in the league they were not in the same class as the top two. They may do well against the remaining sides in the Scottish Premier League but we cannot see them standing up to Celtic today.

Selection two

The second selection is Schalke (Sunday, 16 August, 4.30 p.m. kick-off) in the Bundesliga where they are at home to Bochum. Schalke did well in European competition last year. Although they finished only mid-table we anticipate that they are in line for a generally good 2009/10 season. They got off to a good start last week winning 2-1 away to Nuremberg. At home this week to Bochum, who struggled to survive relegation last season, should produce a maximum six points out of six start to the season for them.

Selection three

For our third selection we go to France. It’s Marseille (Sunday, 16 August, 8.OO p.m. kick-off) that is our pick this week. They are at home to Lille who finished in fifth place last season but were left well behind by Bordeaux and Marseille, who finished in in the first and second place respectively. We anticipate Marseille, who easily overcame Grenoble last week, will have no difficulty in despatching Lille, particularly with home advantage.

We’ve reviewed the bookmakers odds available and the best we’ve come up with are those from William Hill where our £25 trixie (total stake £100) produces a potential return of £298.48 for a potential £198.48 profit — odds of very nearly 2/1.

William Hill - click here

For a change we’ve also made a few horseracing selections this week. With Godolphin and Frankie Dettori going so well at present (five winners yesterday) we anticipate them having three winners at Newbury this afternoon. We’ve placed a £25 win trixie on Love And Devotion (9/4) in the 1.30, Kite Wood (5/4) in the 2.35 and Evasive (6/4) in the 3.10. Our £100 stake gives a potential total return of £983.59 for £883.59 profit. We’ve placed our bet with Bet 365.

 Hoping for the very best of luck.

Weekend Best Bet Soccer Selections For 8 and 9 August 2009

For Best Bet Soccer click here!We were almost counting our money last week when Flamengo absolutely astounded us by only managing to draw. They were our banker!

We’re delighted the European season is firing up with a full fixture list in France and Germany.

Our selections this week are quite short prices which is, of course, a reflection of their chances so we have very high hopes indeed.

Selection 1

Our first selection is in the Italian Super Cup (1.00 p.m. UK time on Saturday) where we believe the value bet of the weekend is Inter Milan to beat Lazio. Remember that most bookmakers will settle on the 90 minute result which is what is included in our trixie.

Selection 2

We move to Germany at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday for our next selection where Werder Bremen are at home to Eintracht Frankfurt and we really cannot see them losing.

Selection 3

Our final selection is in France where last season’s league winners Bordeaux take on promoted Lens at 8.00 p.m. on Sunday. Lens really are dropped in at the deep end here and we anticipate that they may be totally overwhelmed by Bordeaux.

The best odds we are able to find are with Bet 365 and Boyle Sports are offering 8/11, 2/5 and 1/2 for our selections 1, 2 and 3 respectively which produces a potential return of £268.41 (profit £168.41) for our £25 trixie.

Good luck to us all!

Weekend Best Bet Soccer Selecetions – 31 July 2009

bbslogo2cmThe week seems to have flown past.

After the odd midweek results we really must get back into winning ways with our weekend selections. We’ve one each from Norway, The US Major League and Brazil. We were tempted to include three Brazilian games but most of all had difficulty discarding the Seattle Sounders in the US Major League who appear to be excellent value at 13/8 playing away at San Jose Earthquakes. If you fancy a win single on them at this price the kick off is at 8.00 p.m. (all times are UK time) on Sunday, 2 August.

On to our trixie.

Selection 1

Norway Tippeligaen, Saturday 1 August, 3.00 p.m: Molde (2nd in league, last 5 with most recent first DWWWW) at home to Start Kristiansand (4th, DWDLW). Molde should get back to winning ways and could close the gap on Rosenborg, who have a tricky one away to third placed Odd Grenland, a little.

Selection 2

US Major League, Sunday 2 August, 1.30 a.m: Chicago Fire (2nd Eastern Conference, DWDWL) at home to Real Salt Lake (6th in Western Conference, WLDWD). Chicago Fire are deservedly favourites for this one.

Selection 3

Brazil, Sunday 2 August, 8.00 p.m: Flamengo (7th, WWDDL) at home to Nautico (20th (of 20), LDDLD). nautico have plumetted to the bottom of the league in the last few weeks and we see no way they can take a point here!

Sky Bet offered the best odds at the time we placed our bet with a potential return of £286.31 for our £25 trixie – potential profit £186.31.

Here’s to success!
