L13 Winter 2008 : Week 5 BotW

Bet of the Week comes from Richard Hirst

The bet is : Birmingham, Norwich, Swansea, Peterborough, Man U – Cheers, Tricky

That acca is a handsome 13/1 on Paddy Power so we’ll get back, well, you do the math(s). Not sure if Mr Hirst is Tricky because he turns out West Country trip hop or he saws girls in half on stage, whatever let’s hope he tricks £70 out of the bookies (ho ho)

Cheers

Result: LOSE! -£10.60


L13 Winter 2008 : Week 4 BotW

Bet of the week comes from Week 3 winner Dave N – over to you Dave –

I have no idea how I managed a 61pt International week… probably something to do with “borrowing” the Home/Draw/Win predictions from Glen Bevis out of The Sun – then tweaking his score predictions! Don’t cheat kids! Although in all fairness he only got a 43pt week, so he’s crap really.

Anyway, I’ll try to keep BotW simple, six games accumulator on these teams to win:

Man Utd, Liverpool, Rangers, Shrewsbury, MK Dons, Southend

Not sure what the odds are on those, working in the Ministry of Truth with restricted Internet access means I’ll be dragged off to Room 101 sharpish if I even think of browsing a gambling site…

I can tell you two things: Rangers have top trumped the Scousers black armband obsession by actually calling off a game as a mark of respect for the Dundee U chairman/top geezer who died recently (thanks for the heads up Sephen S – please note that game will now be void on your scoresheets). The (now) 5 team acca tots up as 11.5/1 – get on!

Cheers
Pab

Result: LOSE! -£5.60


L13 Winter 2008 : Week 3 BotW

Bet of the Week comes from Greg Edwards – he’s been sensible (he hasn’t bet on Wales for a start) and if this little lot comes in we’ll only be 60p in the red – I like it Greg, I like it…

5 Homes: Denmark, England Holland, Greece and Finland.

£5 on that with Paddy Power will return £9.44

Cheers
Pab

Result: WIN! -£0.60

PS – did you see Scott Angus on Soccer AM this morning? Good skills!


L13 Winter 2008 : Week 2 BotW

Bet of the Week comes from Week 1 winner Martin Stafford – a lot of thought gone into this!

In these difficult economic times it may be better to pursue shorter prices and if it were my last fiver, I’d commit Wigan heresy and back Saint Helens in the rugby league grand final, there is poor value on offer though a 8.5 point handicap will only give 6/4 in a two horse race…

However in the spirit of PAS, its always better to go for a football accumulator…

Landing 3 draws will pay you approx 30/1 so split the fiver in a on an optimistic acca

Sunday has plenty of draws: Chelsea v Villa, Everton v Newcastle and Man City v Liverpool all to draw £2.50

You could always use the other £2.50 to then cover the 3 doubles in some face saving cover bet or because someone has to win at chelsea sooner or later chase value by putting the other £2.50 on Villa to win at chelsea (11/2 and probably longer on betfair)

(obviously a Chelsea win would ruin this so if you want to play safe back Saints on saturday in the M62 rugby grand final)

Confused? Play safe? Never!

I’ll break it down and make it simple for you (and edit the choices!)

  • £2.50 on St Helen’s to win with a 8.5 point handicap @ 6/4
  • £2.50 on Chelsea / Everton / Man City draw treble @ 30/1

Follow it if you dare!

Cheers
Pab

Result: LOSE! -£5

Pab

L13 Spring 2008 : Week 11 – BotW

  • Rangers 3-0 (13/2)
  • QPR 4-2 (66/1)

Oh, and just to keep it real, put the remaining two quid on all the teams to win (8.5/1) – sorted! (does that finger clicking thing…)

L13 Spring 2008 : Week 9 – BotW

Bet of the Week goes off-piste (and why not, football is obviously not our thang!). Vegetarians and people who love animals look away now, Clare Nevin is looking to the turf…

The name of the horse defines how little we have all won on the PAS Bets of the Week: ’Slim Pickings’ in The Grand National.

£2.50 E/W and should get around 10/1 ante-post.

Have a great weekend

Result: WIN! 4th Place -£3.75

Cheers!
Pab


L13 Spring 2008 : Week 8 – BotW

Bet of the Week is going as it always does and we’re currently £5 down – Nick Hogwood gets another go…

Bet is Arsenal, Ipswich, West Brom, Man U and Chelsea (not great odds I would think)

Not bad odds actually – 7/1 on Paddy Power – c’mon!

Cheers!
Pab
