FRIDAY MORNING UPDATE .....


I am on a hot streak this week, subscribers were sent three winners from three selections on Wednesday, yesterday, in addition to the PSG wager, there were two more bets which both won @2.75, one of which was gambled down to circa 2.50 max.

However, that is not all, Friday's email contained previews of four matches, one of which took place early this morning and the Sounders eased home 3-0 (reproduced below), so, we are 7 from 7 since Wednesday evening, winners that produced over 40 points profit !

That leaves three selections remaining for today and it is my intention to post something from this list on the blog later today, so please check back.

Back Later.

USA MLS

SEATTLE SOUNDERS - NEW YORK RED BULLS

The new MLS season gets underway early Friday morning, I was going to wait a couple of weeks before even looking at any games from a betting point of view, but this game has caught my attention.

Seattle are an expansion club, which means that they have been added to the league, to increase the size of the MLS. New clubs usually struggle to begin with, but the Sounders have big ambitions and the league will be eager for them to do well, with the two clubs lined up to next join the MLS, also coming from the North West area, Portland and Vancouver.

It is important to the overall progress of the game in the US, that Seattle do well. They have sold 20,000 season tickets and this opener is a 32,400 sell out and will be carried live on national television. The Sounders have appointed Sigi Schmid as head coach, they could hardly have a more experienced man at the helm, as he led Columbus Crew to the title last year, where his team beat the Bulls in the final. He has assembled a good mixture of young/promising and experienced players, including new Colombian striker Fredy Montero, Kasey Keller and Freddie Ljungberg, in a very offensive looking team. They played twelve pre season games and only failed to score in two, one of which was an away game in Argentina and the other a match where there was no continuity, as the whole team was changed at half time.

Lots of changes at the Red Bulls, despite finishing runner up last year, ten squad players have left and they have tried to improve the overall quality and give themselves a chance to go all the way this time. However, it might take some time for everyone to gel and they could have as few as five starters from the November final, whicjh is a big turnover in just four months. I like the newcomers to record a win, this will create massive interest in the region and give the MLS the early season boost it needs.

5.5 points Seattle Sounders -1/4 ball 2.13 asian line..... won 3-0

Good Luck.
