THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING ........

Zenit proved worthy winners of the UEFA Cup and following on from CSKA's victory in the same competition, it is surely only a matter of time before one of Russia's big clubs, makes a run at the Champions League. I accept that they have a mountain to climb with their summer season and it would almost certainly mean writing off one, if not two domestic campaigns, but surely it will happen sooner rather than later. Money talks in big time soccer and the Russians have an abundance ! Anyway, congratulations to Zenit and those of us that took the 21.0 available just six weeks ago.....

Good Luck.

UPDATE ....

Marat Safin won fairly comfortably for subscribers this morning, which got the day off to a great start. I am not always keen on early selections, as they seem to dictate what follows, but when they win, it is fine !

It is not possible to post anything selection wise on the blog this afternoon, many of you already have an interest in the cup final and the other remaining preview I have to restrict to members, as it is likely to have some bearing on bets later in the week.

Thursday looks extremely busy, with four possible five selections on the newsletter, which will give me more options to post something on the blog.

Good Luck with your bets today.

WEDNESDAY ..........

I have previewed three events on the email service today, two football and one tennis match, where we have some significant injury news about a top ranked player.

Blog wise we have a big day, as we have already secured a 16 point profit on the UEFA Cup final, having backed Zenit at circa 21.0 and covered on Rangers last week. However, we still have an extra 11.5 points up for grabs if the Russian champions take the trophy home, so plenty of excitement ahead.

Rangers supporters have, as always, travelled in huge numbers, despite an official ticket allocation of just 13,000, in a crowd of 43,000, well over 100,000 fans are expected in Manchester today. Judging by the latest reports, even that number might be a little conservative !

Big screens have been put up in the city centre and let's just say that it will be very lively in Manchester this evening !

Elsewhere, Hull and Watford meet to decide who will play Bristol City at Wembley, in a match that is set to worth £60m + to the winner. What an amazing turnaround for Hull, exactly five years ago, they had just finished yet another season in the lower reaches of Division 2, winning just 14 of 46 starts and the Premiership was a distant and unrealistic dream, now, it is just 135 minutes away. Apparently, Hull is the biggest city in Europe never to have had a team playing top flight football. Maybe they will put that right this season. Actually, I have a very strong view on the match tonight and am hoping to be able to post it online later.

Good Luck.

WHAT A FINALE IN SERIE A !

The schedule could not have drawn up a more dramatic end to the season in Serie A, with the four sides battling for the Scudetto and fighting to avoid relegation, meeting each other.

The criteria for separating teams that finish level on points, is as follows ....

1) Head to head record .... away goals do not count double.

2) Goal difference in h2h matches.

3) Overall goal difference.

Remaining fixtures ....

PARMA - INTER

CATANIA - ROMA

At the top of the table, Inter hold a one point lead and will be champions with a win, or, by Roma failing to beat Catania. This, by virtue of Inter collecting four points from their two league meetings.

Parma trail Catania by two points and only have one way to survive, they must beat Inter and hope that Roma win. The two strugglers cannot be separated h2h wise, following two draws, but Catania have a superior goal difference.

They is no real possibility of any "collusion" and the only way for both teams playing each other to get their desired outcome, is if Parma and Inter draw, which would leave Catania safe and Roma champions with a win. Therefore ,the draw in Parma,has absolutely no value at all, to either side and the bookmakers that originally priced this outcome at circa 3.40 , have simply not done their homework . Come kick off, the stalemate should be available at 5.50 + and should be avoided. I suppose, if Catania have a big lead late in the game, the other match could fizzle out, but it is hard to see that happening.

If you must get involved in the "draw", at least take it with a small double on the Catania-Catania double result, which would provide a bumper payout.

It will be a fantastic day's viewing and nerves are sure to play a big part, with Fiorentina and Milan both still hoping to claim the remaining Champions League spot, we have the most intriguing final day imaginable.

Stay tuned.

I have previewed three matches on the email service today, all of which are live on television, but am unlikely to post any of them on the blog .

MONDAY ROUND UP ........

After a busy weekend on the blog, the stats since December 19th are 215 bets, 120 winners (55.81%) ,which have produced 192.13 points profit, on turnover of 1209.5 points, a ROI of 15.89%.

In addition, there have been other winners, hinted, yet not suggested as bets, plus the huge returns on the outright winners, of the English domestic football leagues, none of which are included in the above totals.

I previewed four matches on the email service today, one has already started and the three others have all been heavily gambled on, therefore, I will not be posting anything today. The Scandinavian leagues are now in full swing and we can expect to do very well there over the summer. Having done business in Sweden for many years, I have a lot of good contacts in that part of the world. Rather than things easing off, for me, we are now entering the most exciting and busy period of the year, especially with Euro 2008 fast approaching.

As always, if you want to join the email service and receive the newsletter delivered directly to your inbox every morning, you can find all the details on the website www.predictuwin.com .

Good luck with your bets today.

LA LIGA ........

ALMERIA - RECREATIVO

Home side have nothing to play for and can bask in the knowledge that they have had a fine season. They blew a two goal lead at Getafe in midweek and have lost several games recently against relegation threatened teams, who have shown more motivation. Their coach seems set to takeover at Valencia and he will be without the suspended Garcia and Corona.

Huelva are desperate for a result, they are in the final and sole remaining relegation place and face a "six pointer" with Valladolid next weekend, they will want to ensure that, regardless of results elsewhere today, survival remains in their own hands, They were very unlucky to lose to Villarreal in midweek, in a game that they dominated. I feel that they will not lose against a side that average only one goal per home game and that, reading between the lines, are already, at least mentally, on a beach somewhere.

6.5 points Recreativo 1.98 level ball asian line.

Good Luck.

ENGLAND .........

PREMIERSHIP
MIDDLESBROUGH - MANCHESTER CITY
WEST HAM UNITED- ASTON VILLA
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR - LIVERPOOL

Final day in the Premiership and much still to play for, we are involved with a couple of outright bets on Manchester United, but I am happy to let them ride, playing a Wigan side managed by a former United star and with two of their key players set to join United in the summer ! Funny how Sir Alex is always interested in players just before they play his team !

Prize money for finishing bottom of the Premiership is £30m, each extra place is worth £720,000, so Boro could earn over £2.1m by defeating City today. Most teams like to win their final home start and send their supporters off happy and ready to renew their season ticket. I fancy them to beat a City side, who will be eager not to pick up any cards, as they are set to qualify for Europe, through the "Fair Play" league and are also missing a number of key players.

The other two fixtures are pretty much friendlies, although Villa will claim they are still seeking a euro spot and I expect them both to be open encounters and be "over". Rather than take short quotes for the 2.5 line, I am going to opt for the "3" goal line and the bigger odds. Over the last ten matches United's games have averaged 3.0 goals, Villa's 3.3, they have scored 17 in their last five, Spurs are 3.10 over their last ten and Pool 2.70. Surely all will go for it today and these should be fun to watch.

5.5 points Middlesbrough -1/2. ball 2.01 asian line
5 points WHU-Villa over 3 goals 2.28 asian line
5 points Spurs-Liverpool over 3 goals 2.29 asian line.

Good Luck.

SERIE A ........

FIORENTINA - PARMA

Hosts probably know that 4th spot is now beyond them, Milan are unlikely to slip up at home to Udinese and if word comes through that they are ahead at Napoli to, for which they are quoted as low as 1.30, then motivation will slip. They are already tired after a long season, during which they put too much effort into a UEFA Cup campaign. Mutu and Pasqual are suspended and several others, including Vieri injured.

Parma are in the final relegation place and host Inter, which might turn out to be a good fixture ,on the final day of the season. However, they cannot afford to lose today and despite their failure to win on the road all season, look a MASSIVE prize to do so this afternoon.

5.5 points Parma +1/2 ball 2.09 asian line
1.5 points Parma -1/2 ball 5.0 general quote.

Good Luck.

SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE ........

I have plenty to cover today and will be posting several bets on here, there will be an Italian post just before the Serie A games kick off and something similar for Spain and before the Premiership matches commence, but first ......

We have a long term handicap bet on Blackburn in the Premiership handicap list. Currently, the table looks like this ....

BLACKBURN 92 pts
ARSENAL 92 pts
PORTSMOUTH 91pts
EVERTON 90 pts
MANCHESTER CITY 89 pts

Unfortunately, "we" have a tough game at Biringham who are fighting for survival. I want to ensure at least a small profit and the only way that we can lose at least the place part of this bet, is, if the other four sides win, well, we are already involved in the City game, so I will pass on that here, but we can take a small treble on the other three and tie up a profit. Obviously this is ONLY suggested if you have taken the handicap selection.

0.75 treble Arsenal /Portsmouth /Everton circa 1.91-3.10- 1.80 around odds of 10.66.

Here is the original post .....

Spent a long time looking at the handicap list and like the look of Mark Hughes' Blackburn Rovers.They have no shortage of pace and goals up front with Roque Santa Cruz joining Benni McCarthy and Jason Roberts, with David Bentley and Morten Gamst Pedersen just behind, they will be a match for all but the very best. They were quite adventurous on the road last year, only Bolton outside the top 4 had more wins, if they can win a few more at Ewood Park, they should improve on last years 10th spot. Maybe a repeat of 2005's 6th place is possible and that should take them close on the handicap, where they receive a 34 points start. Ladbrokes looks the place to go, as they give fewer points to the teams I see as potential dangers.

If that is not available to you,or makes limited appeal, they can be backed at 6.0 for a top 6 spot with Bet 365/ Ladbrokes and Paddy Power, amongst others.

2 points each way Blackburn Rovers +34 points handicap 16.0 1/5 odds 1234 Ladbrokes.

ELSEWHERE .......

ITALY
SERIE B
GROSSETO - BOLOGNA

Hosts have very little to play for, they are booked for a lower midtable finish and have struggled at home recently, saving their best for road games. This is last chance saloon for Bologna, following their recent defeat to Albinoleffe, who are currently, in what appears to be, the sole remaining automatic promotion spot. Leffe go to Lecce , who are the other team in contention for a top two finish, so this is a real opportunity for Bologna and they can afford no further slip ups.

6 points Bologna -1/2 ball 1.60 general quote .

Good luck.

DIVISION 2 PLAYOFFS ...........

DARLINGTON - ROCHDALE

Again, if you look at the Division 2 playoff preview, you will see how Darlington's form has tailed off in the second half of the season. Brentford supporters rated Rochdale the best side to visit Griffin Park this season and that has been borne out by recent form. Dale have lost just once in twelve, are very well suited by playing away from home and in Keith Hill have a boss going places. They are unbeaten in four h2h meetings with their hosts, including a 5-0 win here last season, some 3000 supporters are expected to travel up for the game and they can go home happy.

3.5 points Rochdale level ball 2.25 asian line.

Good Luck.

SATURDAY PLANS ....... and a quick look back at yesterday

One winner and one stake returned yesterday, from two selections on the email service. We were very unlucky not to get the double, as Derry City, our draw no bet selection, were the victims of a hotly disputed penalty and should have claimed the win. Never mind, still a nice day's business.

Today, has got a little crazy and I have previewed NINE matches, four from the UK and five across mainland europe, stakes wise, most are very small, but I have put up one monster, seven point selection, which is, obviously, my strongest stance of the day by far.

I will post two of these on the blog later today, so please check back.

Time is running out if any of you want to take advantage of the special newsletter offer, which is detailed in an earlier post, five months for the price of three, is real value and expires at midnight on sunday. Further information can be found on the website www.predictuwin.com .

Good luck with your bets today.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON....

Nothing on the blog today, I wrote two previews on the email service, one has been smashed into on the asian line, given @ 2.02 .... now trading around 1.76 , so it is impossible to give that one now, in any case.

Will try to post something tomorrow, so please check back.

THURSDAY UPDATE AND PLAYOFF NEWS ....

Both of today's football selections on the email service won by two goal margins, the other two will not be decided until the weekend, so a pretty good day.

I have just sent out my play-off preview to subscribers, where I looked at the three domestic leagues, from which we had such great success with our pre season ante-post bets. These get underway tomorrow night and I will send a free copy to anyone joining the service over the coming days.

This, in addition to the special offer detailed a few posts below, make it the perfect time to take the plunge and sign up, details are on www.predictuwin.com .

Good Luck.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON .....

Today's four email selections will have to be kept to subscribers, so , nothing on the blog today.

Good Luck with your bets !

FULL TIME IN SCOTLAND !

I called the Rangers game correctly and hopefully, a few of you took advantage of a very nice priced winner. That makes 117 winners from 208 blog selections (56.25%), since just before Christmas, 195.31 points profit on a turnover of 1171, a ROI of 16.68%.

I am busy writing my previews of the domestic playoffs and am excited by and confident in, my selections, this is a good time to join the subscription service, especially with the current special offer.

Full details can be found on the website www.predictuwin.com .

GOOD AFTERNOON !

I will shortly have a post on the blog section of the website www.predictuwin.com , it is my smallest staked bet of the day, but very nice odds and a wager that I am very keen on.

Good Luck.

A QUICK ROUND UP .... DREAMING OF WEMBLEY

Huge day across Europe and I have previewed five matches on the email service, including fixtures from Scotland, France and Spain. I will do my best to carry one of these on the blog later in the day.

We have the post season action fast approaching in England and I will be previewing the outright markets, where we have such unbelievable success this season, in tomorrow's newsletter.

The line up looks like this ...

CHAMPIONSHIP
CRYSTAL PALACE- BRISTOL CITY
WATFORD - HULL CITY

DIVISION 1
SOUTHEND UNITED- DONCASTER ROVERS
LEEDS UNITED - CARLISLE UNITED

DIVISION 2
DARLINGTON - ROCHDALE
WYCOMBE WANDERERS- STOCKPORT COUNTY

Some juicy looking matches in prospect there !

Good Luck.

A FAVOUR TO ASK ...........

It is quite an undertaking, but can I ask all of you to read the last four posts on here carefully.

Anyone that takes out a subscription to the email service this week, that's before midnight UK time on Sunday, will receive a free bonus. One month subscribers will receive an additional two weeks, if taking out a three month plan, a fantastic extra two months will be added.

To be fair to all, this offer is also available to any existing subscribers, wishing to renew, or to add to current subscriptions. This means that you could receive the daily newsletter for as little as 98p, or under $2 per day, which is unbelievable value.

Further details can be found on the website www.predictuwin.com, most questions can be answered in the "frequently asked questions" section, which is under "information or links" and you can send me an email via the "contact us" button, regarding alternative payment options like Moneybookers or bank transfer, or with any other queries.

I have a partner, who organised the website and he is pushing me to completely stop the blog posts, that is not really what I want to do, but I will have to continue to reduce the output on here. The only way to receive all the selections is to subscribe to the email service and I have tried to make it available to as many of you, as cheaply as possible.

Good Luck.

MUCH TO PLAY FOR IN THE PREMIERSHIP ..........

In addition to the blog profits on the day to day matches, plus the Swansea, MK Dons, Zenit and Aldershot bets we also have two outstanding positions on the Premiership, which are reproduced below, it was originally written on August 10th 2007.

United are, obviously in a strong position going into the final weekend and so too, are Blackburn, who are currently in 7th and are joint leaders of the handicap, along with Arsenal. We might cover this bet in some way before the weekend, to at least cover our stakes, so, if you are involved, keep reading.

OUTRIGHT

No real shocks for me here, United should retain their crown. Much has been written about the challenge from Liverpool this season and the money the Merseysiders have spent. They should indeed close the gap, but have a lot of ground to make up and need to start collecting wins on the road. Away from Anfield 18 goals, a total fewer than Wigan and Fulham and only two more than relegated Charlton, was nowhere near good enough.

Chelsea already enter the season with injury concerns and seem dependent on the goals of Didier Drogba, who will be missing for several weeks in mid season at the Cup of Nations.

United were lucky with injuries last season, but look much stronger this time round, what team in world football would not be, with the addition of Tevez, Nani, Anderson and Hargreaves. The defence still looks a little suspect, but Sir Alex's men scored 19 goals more than anyone else last season, that is a full half goal per game and they hardly look likely to score fewer this time round.

6 points Manchester United 2.375 outright, general quote.

Not going to put this up as a bet, but Tottenham should prove to be the best of the rest, currently quoted at 2.375, without the big 4. They have held on to Dimitar Berbatov and spent a fortune on Darren Bent, Robbie Keane has signed a new contract and even a poacher like Jermain Defoe, will be lucky to get a look in. With Lennon, Bale and Chimbonda eager to get forward at every opportunity, they have a surplus of attacking options.

The big minus is that Ledley King is out for 2-3 months and the Dawson- Gardner partnership, has yet to prove it works. Regardless of that, they looked booked for 5th place at worse, a spot they have occupied for the last two seasons.

Spent a long time looking at the handicap list and like the look of Mark Hughes' Blackburn Rovers.They have no shortage of pace and goals up front with Roque Santa Cruz joining Benni McCarthy and Jason Roberts, with David Bentley and Morten Gamst Pedersen just behind, they will be a match for all but the very best. They were quite adventurous on the road last year, only Bolton outside the top 4 had more wins, if they can win a few more at Ewood Park, they should improve on last years 10th spot. Maybe a repeat of 2005's 6th place is possible and that should take them close on the handicap, where they receive a 34 points start. Ladbrokes looks the place to go, as they give fewer points to the teams I see as potential dangers.

If that is not available to you,or makes limited appeal, they can be backed at 6.0 for a top 6 spot with Bet 365/ Ladbrokes and Paddy Power, amongst others.

2 points each way Blackburn Rovers +34 points handicap 16.0 1/5 odds 1234 Ladbrokes.

Good Luck.

TUESDAY UPDATE .....

Looking back over the long weekend, we had some nice bets on the blog, I was very pleased with the half time wager in the Stoke - Leicester match, where the game played out pretty much as we expected.

Since just before Christmas (December 19th), there have been 207 selections on the blog, these have produced 116 winners (56.04%), including some big odds winners, profits have been 182.94 points, on stakes of 1166.5 points, a ROI of 15.68 %.

These are wonderful returns over a 20 week period, just think about that for a moment, consistent profits and lots of additional information, over a five month period.

Reading and following my previews might not always make you a profit in the short term, but they are very likely to over the long haul and will definitely help make you a better informed and more astute gambler.

In addition to these, we had the outright bets on Swansea and MK Dons in their respective divisions, which produced huge dividends and are not included in the totals above, those previews can be viewed here http://ubet2win.blogspot.com/2007/08/lower-league-previews.html , in what, is arguably, the greatest ever sports betting blog post, he said modestly. Plus the Blackburn wager given above.

Good Luck.

SECURING A LITTLE PROFIT ..........

UEFA CUP
ZENIT ST PETERSBURG

....... is never a bad thing to do, especially when you have backed one team at huge odds and down to two runners, their opponents can be backed at odds against. Which, is exactly the situation we find ourselves in, in the UEFA Cup, following Zenit's demolition of Bayern. For any of you that took the 21.0 available and tipped outright, before the quarter final stage, I think now is the time to cover our wager and take a profit. Please remember, this bet is only for those of you that have already backed Zenit. Rangers can be taken at 2.46 on the exchanges, which given our position, is too good to pass. The final will be played in the UK at the City of Manchester stadium and the Russian champions top scorer Pavel Pogrebnyak is suspended for the game. There is also a worry about some potential crowd unrest, given Zenit's supporters previous history against black players, Marseille were given a very tough time in Russia, hopefully, that will not happen, but it could upset the flow of the game, which could help Rangers. However, I still think that Zenit will win, so will keep them as a winner.

The suggested wager will leave Rangers as a winner for 16 points, Zenit for 27.5 points, which is terrific business.

HEDGE 12.5 points Rangers outright 2.44 + exchanges .... 2.46 available for small money.

The original article was posted on April 3rd and can be read here .....

CRUNCH GAME IN LIGUE 2 ..........

I gave three selections on the email service today, we were firmly with Exeter in the lunchtime kick-off, where they ran out easy winners. Also gave a VERY strong bet for tonight, which will have to be solely for subscribers, which leaves us with the match below.

Will return later with another bet, which was given in the newsletter yesterday, please check back.

FRANCE

LIGUE 2
BOULOGNE- GRENOBLE

Finally, I will chance a little on the draw here. A point a piece, will suit very well, it will take Boulogne above Dijon in the table and give them a three point cushion over Niort, who currently occupy the final relegation place and whom, they have still to meet. For Grenoble, it would also give them a three point lead over Troyes, in the promotion race. These are healthy leads with just two rounds to go, of course, both would like to win, but neither can really afford to lose.

4 points draw 3.0 general quote.

Back later.

MONDAY UPDATE .....

I will have a couple of posts online later today, so please check back.

ALL TO PLAY FOR ....... AT LEAST FOR SOME........

ATALANTA - LIVORNO

Hosts have very litttle to play for and are going through the motions, with just a single point and no goals in their last four starts, they are set to be without a handful of players today and meet a very motivated opponent.Livorno switched coaches this week, with Fernado Orsi returning and vowing to get the three points today, which is their "only target". They are 3 points off safety, but with Torino and Empoli still to play, victory today, will at least, give them a chance of survival.

6.5 points Livorno -1/2 ball 2.29 asian line.

Good Luck.

SERIE A ....

AC MILAN - INTER

Milan are still battling with Fiorentina for the sole remaining Champions League spot and these giants of european football, simply have to get it. They are overdue a good result in the derby and if any further motivation was needed, they will certainly not want to sit and watch Inter celebrate a title victory this afternoon. Ibrahimovic is out and Stankovic is doubful for the visitors, who have gone off the boil a little recently and will claim the title in front of a stadium packed with their own fans next week.

5 points Milan -1/4 ball 2.06

Good Luck.

CHAMPIONSHIP ...........

STOKE CITY - LEICESTER CITY

What a game ! Stoke will be promoted to the Premiership with a point, but may not need it if Hull do not win at Ipswich, Leicester need a win to ensure survival, but do not need anything, if Southampton lose at home to Sheffield United, if Saints draw, them a point will keep Leicester up. Therefore, surely both will adopt an extremely cautious approach, personally as coach of either side, I would be happy to get to half time and see where we stand. There is a huge opportunity for these two teams to help each other out and both celebrate come the final whistle. I feel that the half time draw offers excellent value.

Since writing this, I have found out that the two coaches, Holloway and Pullis are very close, one is, infact, godparent to the others children. Not saying that there will be anything "funny", but it is hardly a negative for this bet.

5.5 points half time draw 2.50 general quote.

Good Luck.

PREMIERSHIP .......

ARSENAL - EVERTON

The Gunners have handed Everton a few hammerings in recent seasons and another would not entirely surprise. The Toffees looked booked for 5th spot regardless of what happens today, following Villa's slip up yesterday and may save any remaining energy for their home fans. Arsenal still have an outside chance for second spot and rediscovered their goal touch in the thumping of Derby on Monday. They will dominate the midfield, with the visitors still missing Arteta and Cahill and can send their supporters home with the feelgood factor, in the final emirates match of the season.

6 points Arsenal -1/2 ball 1.62 general quote.

Back shortly.

SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE .........

Fantastic day in prospect, with much still to be decided across Europe, but especially in the UK, with some amazing fixtures in the Championship.

I have written previews of NINE sporting events on the email service. Including four domestic football matches, two from Italy , one from France and a look at the final day of the Waichovia Championship on the USPGA Tour.

Despite having writers cramp, I will be putting 3-4 of these on the blog later in the day.

Details of the email service can be found on the website www.predictuwin.com.

Good Luck.

FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL .....

ENGLAND
BLUE SQUARE PREMIERSHIP
BURTON ALBION - CAMBRIDGE UNITED

United are a bigger club than Albion and seem to have got their act together after a slump in form, with three straight wins, I accept that those victories have come against sides lacking a little in motivation, but you can do no more than beat what is put in front of you and they would have given a real boost to confidence levels.
Injury wise, they seem in better shape than the hosts who have three key players set to miss out. The U's had the better of the two league meetings, collecting four points, including a fine 2-1 win here at the Pirelli stadium. They will have massive support cheering them on, with over 1600 fans likely to make up 40% + of the crowd. This will be tight, but only runaway champions Aldershot have collected more away points than Cambridge and they have not lost in six meetings, against any of the other play-off teams ,I do not see that changing this evening. Burton have conceded fairly freely at home, easily more than any of the other top 5 sides.

6 points Cambridge +1/4 ball 1.80 asian line.

SEDAN -LIBOURNE

Hosts have nothing to play for and Libourne are drinking in the last chance saloon. They have to throw caution to the win and seek the three points to keep any survival hopes alive. Sedan have not won in four and failed to score in three of those, they have a huge cup semi-final with Lyon in midweek and will rest players with that in mind. This looks like and away win to me and is a confident choice.

6 points Libourne -1/2 ball 3.60+ .... 3.75 available in places


Good Luck.

TODAY'S BETS .........

I have previewed five football matches on the email service today, including two bets at very big odds and am confident of building on yesterday's success.

Hopefully, I will be able to post something on the blog later in the day, if you want to be sure of receiving all my selections, details of the newsletter service are on www.predictuwin.com .

Back Later.

FRIDAY MORNING .........

I have a lot to pass on today, so please check back.

Zenit won yesterday and the world now knows, what readers of the blog knew a long time ago, that they are a very good side.

Blog wise, since December 19th, I have given 199 selections, 111 winners for a strike rate of 55.78%, some big prices have produced a profit of 161.37 points , on stakes of 1125.5 and a fantastic ROI of 14.34% . Even this doesn't tell the full story as there has been plenty of extra "winners", like David Chiu the WPT World Champion at 4.33 last week.

All four email football selections won yesterday, if you did not have a terrific day's punting, then you should seriously consider joining the service. It costs as little as £1.47 per day to have the newsletter delivered directly to your inbox and I paid more than that for a newspaper, five minutes ago ..... full details are on the website www.predictuwin.com.

Back later.

UEFA CUP ........

Subscribers are off to a decent start on the day, with both selections from the Netherlands winning.

ZENIT ST PETERSBURG - BAYERN MUNICH (first leg 1-1)

We are already on the hosts at 21.0 to win the cup, unfortunately, they will be without Sirl, Ricksen and star player Arshavin this evening, which is not ideal. However, this is not a one man team, they are a strong squad and will have a "twelth" man, which is the pitch, it is in extremely poor condition, of course, this is the same for both sides, but Zenit are very used to the surface. It is so bad that the Russian Federation have considered closing it, for domestic matches.

Bayern will have to attack, but even without Arshavin, I do not see much between the two sides and certainly like the quote,however, if you have already taken the outright bet,there is no point in getting involved today. For the rest of you .......

5 points Zenit +1/2 ball 1.97 asian line.
