Oldham Athletic - lost their first 5 games of the season, then MrLargo starts betting on them to lose and they pick up 4 points on their travels against sides in the top half of the table (Fleetwood on Saturday, BRovers yesterday).MrLargo said:Sheff Weds
Bristol Rovers
Fleetwood
Sometimes I'll place a bet and when it loses I'll curse myself for not thinking it through properly or being too reckless.
Sometimes though, like last night and last Saturday, I'll diligently do my research and place what appears on paper to be a very sensible, shrewd bet, and I still end up losing. I can only presume that when my dad was driving my mum to hospital to give birth to me, he ran over about 50 black cats on the way and then managed to pass under 13 ladders whilst wheeling her up to the maternity ward.2 -

About 66/1. Ipswich will be the one that goes wrong. McCarthy always lets me down.1 -
This week's losers:
Double on Wigan and Exeter won't be posting out at odds of 2/1.
Btw, Bet 365 users. Have a look in the My Account bit: Members> Offers> Offers Available. I had a ten quid bonus in there that I was completely unaware of. They called it a Loyalty Bonus, which I guess is another way of saying "thanks for paying for our staff Christmas bash, you loser".4 -

Charlton, Wigan, Blackburn £12
Wigan Blackburn £32
Exeter, Charlton, welling East Thurrock £25

I run my own model for the Prem/Champ/Lg1/Lg2 based on shot data. This has it's advantages and disadvantages as any model does but can throw up some value bets throughout the season.
Still early days in the Premiership but there are some interesting things to note in lower leagues:
Championship: Got this quite competitive at the top end with Leeds and Cardiff currently top. At the other end things looks very bad for both Bolton and Burton. Bolton are now only 1.44 but can still get 1.91 on Burton if you don't mind taking a short price this far out. Ipswich, despite their start, also don't fare well and could be worth an interest at 11s should they slide down the table.
League 1: Got Wigan well clear currently and prices of 9/4 look fair to win the League. Rate us about 8th at the moment. Other end of the table doesn't throw up anything of major interest yet.
League 2: Very competitive at the top but Forest Green look to be struggling to adapt to the step up from non-Leauge. 13/2 with Bet365 to go down looks big (if you can get anything on), with it as short as 11/4 elsewhere. Can get 5s in main high street shops.1 -

I wish mate. I'm still playing with the initial £50 I put on a Paddy account six years. Had a couple of good wins 4-5 years ago and my balance has just been gradually eeking down from there. Current balance £26. Need a win otherwise I've only got 5 or 6 weeks left!clb74 said:

Put £25 on a Tottenham, Chelsea and Man Utd treble. With the other £1, do a treble score cast for the 3 games.AFKABartram said:
