Please note that the following bets were all taken yesterday so prices will have changed by today/KO, although last week they pretty much all got bigger so lucky for anyone who got involved!
Had a cracking week last week with 4/6 winners and one at 6.20, while many around me were struggling with the end of season enhanced unpredictability of the Premier League. With that mind tread carefully when getting involved this weekend, as games become more and more meaningless for more and more teams.
Swansea V Man City - Under 2.5 goals @2.00
The Swans checked out for the season sometime ago which is usually what happens to most League Cup winners. Subsequently haven't won in 6 games and they've only scored 4 in their last 8 as well. Man City are in good form with 6 wins in their last 8 matches but have the FA Cup final coming up next week so might not be quite as motivated to go for it here. Couple that with the fact that both teams are decent at the back and I think we've got a value (my tissue is 1.82) bet here, could easily see 0-1 or 0-2 result in this one.
Final score 0-0, winning bet and never in danger by the sounds of it. Also had a winning lay @1.78 of Man City here, as per my tissue prices.
Spurs V Saints - Both Teams To Score @1.90
Both these teams have been in good form recently, although Saints lost at home last week they had been unbeaten in 6 games before that. Spurs are obviously still battling hard to grab a Champions League place and should win this match, but with just 17% clean sheets at home and with Saints only having been shut out 4 times away, the good price on offer makes BTTS an easy choice.
Final score 1-0, losing bet but Saints had their chances & Bale saves the day (again).
WBA V Wigan - WBA Draw No Bet @1.78
Hopefully you've seen my previous post of the tissue prices for this weekend and realised that WBA are great value to beat Wigan. However, as mentioned the prices don't account for the fact that WBA have nothing to play for while Wigan are again trying to sneak out of the relegation zone at the last minute. It's a hard game to call but DNB at the price is a great option as I'm not convinced they'll beat Wigan on current form.
Final score 2-3, losing bet but could have gone either way, typical of Wigan!
Only three straight bets this weekend but there are the pre match trades (PMT) and value bets on the tissue price post from yesterday as well. Updates on all the bets and value positions will be posted up next week but as usual, I'll be all over Twitter especially on Sunday when I'll be trading the Merseyside derby.
Good luck if you're in the markets this weekend and please feel free to comment and/or question via the blog or Twitter.
