THURSDAY MORNING .............

I have just sent off my newsletter for what is set to be, a hugely exciting day, with selections at odds of 5.30, 11.0 and 151.0 ! In addition to three big football bets on the asian line.

Blogwise, I am intending to post something later in the day, so please check back.

Good Luck.

WEDNESDAY .............

Nigeria coasted home yesterday, as did fellow email selection Argentina. I am firmly back in form with a perfect six from six this week and a 45 point profit since Monday morning !

At the end of an, albeit, mini losing period, is the best time to join the service and I am confident that we will make excellent returns over the coming weeks.

I do not mind talking about losing runs, because they will come, despite what other services might say(!) and to be honest, a 7-10 day losing run, is nothing over the course of a year. There are almost eleven months worth of email archive on the website www.predictuwin.com and we have averaged 1.4 points profit, each and every day over that very long period.

The daily newsletter can cost less than $3 per day and all selections are sent with a full preview and will arrive in your inbox by late morning (uk time). Payment can be made, by any bank or credit card and also Paypal and Moneybookers, you are welcome to email me with any questions, using the "contact us" button on the website, here is a quick link.

Good Luck with your bets today.

MEN'S OLYMPIC FOOTBALL SEMI-FINALS .....

NIGERIA-BELGIUM

OK, apologies to my Belgian subscribers, but there is no way I am opposing Nigeria, who we have been with since the opening round of group games. They have yet to let us down and look very focused and determined to fulfill their undoubted potential.These guys are already superstars in Nigeria and captain Victor Obinna said : "Back home, everybody knows what this team is capable of. After picking up gold in 1996, everyone's waiting anxiously for us to repeat the feat but we still haven't won anything yet."

Belgium have done fantastically well to reach this stage and the Diables Rouges saw off the strongly fancied Italians in the quarters, playing much of the game with ten men. That is a problem, it would doubtless have taken a lot out of them and already without the experienced defender Vincent Kompany, they will now be minus suspended centre back, Thomas Vermaelen. They have a threat upfront in three goal Moussa Dembele , but Nigeria are well aware of him and the only goals the Super Eagles have conceded this tournament , have come very late on, when they already had a two goal lead and the game was won.

They have impressed me greatly and I am confident that they will be in the final by early afternoon.

6.5 points Nigeria -1/4 ball 1.95 asian handicap.

Good Luck.

IT'S HARD TO KEEP A GOOD MAN DOWN .....

... and as usual, it is a woman who helps him on his way, or in our/my case, 23 of them !

After a very disappointing couple of days, we have bounced back big time today, with Brazil and Jepkosgei (without Jelima) both winning easily and also, the USA Women (-1 ball 2.23) obliging for subscribers. That completes a fantastic start to the week and before 16.00 on Monday, we are already almost 27 points up on the day!

To be honest, after such an amazing sequence of winners, we were long overdue a few losers and in some ways, I am glad that they have come and hopefully gone. No one can win all the time, that is impossible, but used properly, the newsletter can supply you with consistent long term profits and a useful, additional source of income. Further details can be found on the website .... www.predictuwin.com

Good Luck.

WOMEN'S OLYMPIC FOOTBALL SEMI - FINALS

BRAZIL - GERMANY

I have been firmly with Brazil since the start and am certainly not going to desert them facing a German side that have yet to impress.

The Canarinha look to be peaking at exactly the right time, putting in their best performance of the tournament against Norway, where they had 10-12 goalscoring chances and could have won far more easily. Their coach claims that they have improved with every appearance and is confident that they can be the first side to score against the defensively sound Germans.

It is time for a change in women's football, Brazil felt cheated by losing in the World Cup final last year, a title that they felt was their's for the taking, they are a year stronger and have, imo, the two best players in the world, entering their prime, the Germans look to have regressed, especially offensively, where they have struggled.

6 points Brazil -1/4 ball 2.23 asian line.

Good Luck.

ATHLETICS .............

WOMEN'S 800 METRES

JANETH JEPKOSGEI

The World Champion from Osaka has been forgotten this year, such has been the remarkable talent shown and times put up by 18yo Pamela Jelimo. However, Jepkosgei looks to be peaking and might still trouble her young countrywoman, who has been priced at an incredibly short 1.10 to win the final. In her semi, Jepkosgei looked very comfortable and racing from the front, just pulled out a little more when required and was hardly breathing after the race. It could be that she cannot live with Jelima, but I see her as clearly the best of the rest and think that she is fantastic value without the favourite.

1 point Jepkosgei to win 11.0 Paddy Power.

8 points Jepkosgei 2.625 Victor Chandler, without "Jelima" ..... this is 2.20 with Ladbrokes which is acceptable at a pinch, other companies should quote later in the day. NOW 2.10

Good Luck.

SCOTLAND SPL

DUNDEE UNITED - GLASGOW CELTIC

There are very few things in life that you can truly depend upon, the sun rises in the east and Dundee United never beat Celtic, are two that prove the exception.

This millenium, they have met 29 times, United have four draws to their name and 25 defeats. On home soil, their record is even worse (0-1-11), five times conceding four or more goals.

I can only see that record improving today, the visitors are boosted by the return of playmaker Shunsuke Nakamura and he will help the supply to the front men today. Hosts are without three players and are probably still shell shocked by the bit of a hammering, SPL new boys Hamilton inflicted on them on Monday night, when defensively, they were sloppy.

Rangers put in a vastly improved display yesterday and Celtic will want to close the gap on them, in another battle that will probably still be raging come the spring.

7 points Celtic -3/4 ball asian line 1.80.

Good Luck.

SUNDAY .....

Very frustrating day yesterday, the three blog selections lost, but it could easily have been so much different. After failing 2-0 down early, they dominated play after the break and should really have got a point. Norwich again created 14 chances and dominated play, Lincoln at 1-0 up, had a "good" looking goal disallowed just before half time. Anyway, next time things go our way.

I have sent preiews of four events today, an 8 point stake @2.6+, 6 points @3.60, plus two big asian line 7 point selections. So a huge day.

Good luck with your bets today.

AFTERNOON ACTION ..............

WEST HAM UNITED - WIGAN ATHLETIC

I think that Steve Bruce has done a great job at Wigan, as you might expect he has got a very sound defence and if Emile Heskey can stay fit, he will have chances created for him by a strong midfield, he will be joined upfront by Amir Zaki, who is an unknown quantity at this level, but has already been scoring, in a decent preseason, when the goals have been flowing. The Hammers continue to have injury problems, Dyer, Bellamy and Gabbidon remain on the sick list, along with several others and Anton Ferdinand is doubtful. The vibes are not good and Curbishley is favourite in the "first manager to be sacked" markets. They have too much quality to be in trouble of course (probably) ,but I do not want to be backing then at shortish prices, until I have seen a little form.

5.5 points Wigan +1/2 ball 1.90 asian line.

CHAMPIONSHIP
NORWICH - BLACKPOOL

The visitors were pretty poor at Macclesfield in midweek and will be without three players today. Norwich were not much better in their Carling Cup loss to MK Dons, but are at least creating plenty of chances. They have had 30 attempts on goal and enjoyed the lions share of possession in their two starts to date and are due, a little more good fortune in front of goal. Glenn Roeder has used his contacts to significantly strengthen the home squad, with a number of loanees from big clubs and this is the type of fixture they should be winning, if it is not going to be another long season of struggle. Blackpool did well to survive last season and if anything, look weaker this time round, having sold two of their best players and lacking the funds to replace them.

5.5 points Norwich -1/2 ball 2.0 asian line.

DIVISION 2
LINCOLN CITY- DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE

You are aware that I was keen on City in my preview of Division 2, they opened with a loss in the league, but took Championship side Derby to extra time in midweek and if that has not taken too much out of them, they should be capable of kick starting their season today. D&R knocked six past inept Chester last week and performed bravely at home to reading in the cup, only losing to a late winner, but they are a small club, with limited resources and have to look outside the league for any signings.These players are hungry of course, but lack the quality that Peter Jackson has at his disposal, Frank Sinclair should make his debut today and oversee a City win.

5.5 points Lincoln -1/2 ball 2.07 asian line.

Good Luck.

WRITTEN YESTERDAY .......... full details on how to receive the newsletter on a daily basis and get the best of the odds , can be found on the website www.predictuwin.com

SATURDAY PLANS ........

The Premiership has arrived ! After what seems quite a long break, even Euro 2008 is a distant memory, the most watched league in the world returns. It will have to take something of a back seat domestically today though, with Team GB collecting a bunch of medals in Beijing, had to get that in !

I have previewed five matches on the email service and am planning to post one or two of them on the blog later today. Please check back.

CYCLING MOVES INDOORS .............

I am not putting this up as a selection, the odds are a little low, but the word in Beijing, is that British cyclist Bradley Wiggins have put stunning everyone in training. He already has three medals from Athens and has been talking as though anything less than three golds this time, would be a disappointment.

He gets underway in a couple of hours in the Individual Pursuit and was just interviewed on the BBC, where asked about the times he had been setting, which had been described as "jaw dropping", he just smiled and said "yes, they have been".

The price will not make you rich, but you have a world class athlete, hungry for success, in the peak form of his life.

Back Later.

THE BEAUTIFUL GAME ......

WOMEN'S OLYMPIC FOOTBALL

BRAZIL - NORWAY

Early start tomorrow in China. I think it is time for Brazil to step forward and take a big title, Marta and Cristiane are arguably the two best players in the world and at 22 and 23 respectively, should be nearing their peak. They were unlucky to only take silver at the World Cup and winners Germany, look to have regressed. I feel the conditions suit them better and expect Norway, who are a very big side and might labour in what is forecast to be humid , sticky weather, to be seen off with the minimum of fuss. Cristiane showed her well being with a hat-trick in the last group game and that would doubtless have got Marta's competitive juices flowing. I think they will win tomorrow and go on to take the title.

6.5 points Brazil -3/4 ball asian line 1.95

Good Luck.

MLS .............

CD CHIVAS - LA GALAXY

Going to give LA another chance, these two play at the same stadium, so no homefield advantage. Galaxy have a new coach after the departure of Ruud Gullit and General manager Alexi Lalas, has also left, so a big shake up at the club. Former star Cobi Jones has taken over and has had three days with the players, in the build up to this game. He will be looking to snap a seven game streak without a win and when asked about his expectations for tonight said:

"Realistically, I hope a victory," said Jones. "I think this team has the talent, the experience and the will to win. It's going to be about having the desire and drive. I think that's something people have said in the past -- we're missing that fire out on the pitch. Hopefully they'll be ready to go this Thursday."

Chivas are also struggling and have not posted a league win for over five weeks. Both sides are without a number of players, but Chivas, has fewer resources and are down to just 18 fit players at the club. None of the "stars" are missing for LA and they should collect the points in a series they do very well in. They have already beaten Chivas 5-2 this season, drawing the other meeting and will look for the win to boost their playoff hopes, they are currently ranked 9th, with just eight teams making the post season. I am going with the new coach factor to kick start their season.

5.5 points LA Galaxy level 2.06 asian line.

Good Luck.

OLYMPIC HIGHLIGHTS .......

Highlight of the Olympics for me so far, has been the unbridled joy shown by the British medal winners in the swimming and cycling. My goodness, these girls are still smiling three days later, obviously I only really get to see the extended interviews with the competitors from my country, but I am sure the same is true, wherever you, or they, are from. It is a far cry from the cynical attitude we see from far too many of our sportsmen and certainly a few Premiership footballers could at least appreciate, that they are "living the dream".

Many of these spoilt superstars earn more in a month, than many dedicated athletes at the games will earn in a decade and couldn't produce, even a grin, if their life depended upon it !

I was a bit cynical in the build up to the games and some of the antics at the opening ceremony, were a bit too much, but after just a few days, we have seen the true spirit of the games, to say nothing of the beach volleyball and putting all political arguments to one side, sport is clearly the winner and my daughter is already pestering me about tickets for 2012 !

Good Luck.

A QUICK LOOK AT THE CARLING CUP ...........

There are a lot of games today, but quality is in short supply and in the English and Scottish domestic cups, it is more about attitude and application, than line ups, especially when it comes to the "bigger" clubs.

There has been torrential rain in the North West of England and that will be a great leveller. The games at Shrewsbury and Bury in particular, could easily go the way of the home teams, who started with positive results at the weekend. Chester host Leeds and the hosts will still be having nightmares about their totally inept performance in the 6-0 hammering at Dagenham over the weekend, that is not how you want to start the season ! The rain has been particularly bad in the Chester area, I just spoke to someone who lives nearby and that might help them, they will be happy to keep a clean sheet for as long as possible and United will be happy to win with the minimum of effort. Clubs usually put in a battling display after a thumping and it might take the visitors a while to get going. I am going to start with a small interest on the double result market.

3 points Draw Half Time- Leeds Full Time circa 4.50 general quote.

DAGENHAM & REDBRIDGE - READING

D&R will be cock-a-hoop after knocking six past Chester at the weekend, but believe me, that said more about how bad their opponents were, than anything else. Steve Coppell's men opened with a 0-0 draw at Forest, who packed the midfield and effectively stifled the visitors. As always, Coppell will rotate his squad, but still has a lot of talent at his disposal and his players can expect a lot more space this evening. Reading had a fine pre season, including outplaying Villa last week, when Brad Friedel and the woodwork, saved the Premiership side from a bit of a beating. I expect them to win tonight, remember, there could easily have been four divisions between these two sides, but for a win or two last season.

6 points Reading -1/2 1.78 asian line.

Good Luck.

SUNDAY , SUNDAY ...........

I have just sent out the email for today, it contains three pretty strong football selections, it will not be possible for me to post any of these on the blog. However, if you want a free copy of the newsletter, just send me an email via the "contact us"button on the website www.predictuwin.com
before 13.00 cet and I will send one shortly after that time.

Good Luck.

..... AND A LITTLE FURTHER NORTH .......

NORWAY
STROMSGODSET - BRANN

Last but not least, I have to oppose Brann, who are not playing well and have beaten only basement club Ham-Kam in their last four league starts. They have just returned from a tough trip to Latvia, where they struggled to beat ten man Ventspils in the Champions League, only going through on the away goal rule. This has given them a home first leg with Marseille next week and the chance for a place in the group stage of europe's premier club competition, plus all the riches that brings, surely they will have to take things easy today. Hosts are battling to avoid the drop and are fighting for every point, home win.

5.5 points Stromsgodset -1/4 ball 2.06 asian line.

Good Luck.

HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLVES ...........

PLYMOUTH ARGYLE - WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS

Argyle look set for a long season of struggle, they have sold all their stars and replaced them with lower league players of potential, they have a decent manager, but I am sorry, the quality looks to be missing. Even last season , when they finished tenth, Argyle struggled against the top sides, winning just one of eleven home games, verses top half teams.Wolves have done some excellent business in the summer and took Sam Vokes fron Bournemouth, with several bigger clubs ready to pounce. He, along with Keough, Kightly, Iwelumo and Sylvan Ebanks- Blake, who is returning to his former club, give them unlimited options going forward and this is a side almost certain to be play-off bound at the very least. Ebanks-Blake will score a lot of goals this season and at 18-1 to be top scorer in the Championship ,could give you a run for your money. The match last season ended 1-1, with the visitors having 22 attempts at goal, Argyle are much weaker now, Wolves stronger. With almost 3,000 fans making the very long trip to the west country, I expect them to go home happy.

6.5 points Wolves level ball 1.96 asian line.

Good Luck.

Back Later.

MASSIVE FEW DAYS AHEAD OF US.............

The excitement is really building now, in addition to the start of the english domestic season, we are already well into the football tournament's at the Olympics, despite the opening ceremony not taking place until tomorrow !

I have just sent today's email out, which included just a single, albeit confident selection for today and a big 7 point early bet for tommorow. The weekend is going to be incredibly busy and already it looks like I will be previewing six matches on saturday alone. This is normally a good weekend for me, touch wood, when I feel that, at this stage of the season, I have a better grasp on where most of the teams are, than the bookmakers.

No blog selections today, it would not be fair to subscribers to put my sole preview online. However, I am sure that it will be possible to post 2-3 previews over the weekend, so please check back.

Remember, the only way to receive all my output is by subscribing to the daily newsletter, yes , it is a pain to have to pay for it, but very little in life is free and with "offers" bringing the cost down to as little as $2 per day, it is not exactly expensive for the service it provides. Details can be found on the website www.predictuwin.com , you can send me an email via the "contact us" tab on the site, with any questions.

Good Luck.

ONLY ONE SELECTION TODAY ..............

I only sent subscribers one selection today, with two bets and Sibir have already obliged, winning 1-0. Surprisingly, Zenit were gambled on and Sibir actually drifted to 2.06 and 3.95 respectively, for the two bets.

RUSSIAN CUP

SIBIR NOVOSIBIRSK - ZENIT ST PETERSBURG

Regular readers will know that I am a big fan of Zenit, we were with them at circa 20.0 to win the UEFA Cup last year and I feel that they will go well in the Champions League, providing they are not big sellers in the next couple of weeks. They started their domestic season very slowly, but have bit by bit , got going again and now lie just 8 points off the top, with a game in hand. At the weekend, they travel to league leaders Rubin, in what is obviously a vital game.

Later this month they have the Supercup match with Manchester United and the CL groups will still be upon us, under the circumstances, they need the domestic cup and this game in particular, like another hole in the head ! Novosibirsk is the third biggest city in Russia, but is actually in Siberia and some 3,000km + from St Petersburg. I cannot believe they (Zenit) want any more fixture congestion and would be surprised if they progress today.

This will not be easy in any case, Sibir are a Division 1 side, but were close to promotion last season and are very tough to beat at home, as you might imagine. They have lost just 3 from 33 in the league, over the last season and a half and conceded far less than a goal per game. They will obviously be "up" for today and look vastly overpriced.

7 points Sibir +1/2 ball 1.91 asian line.

1.5 points Sibir to win 3.60 general quote.

Good Luck.

PREDICTUWIN www.predictuwin.com

TONIGHT'S FOOTBALL ........... STICKING WITH DYNAMO

NORTH AMERICAN SUPERLIGA FINAL
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION - HOUSTON DYNAMO

This is the third big final between the two best sides in US football, in the last two years and I fully expect Houston to claim the hat-trick, having prevailed in the last two MLS Championship games.

Both sides are missing players tonight, Dynamo are without Patrick Ianni and Stuart Holden, who are at the Olympics, Steve Nicol's Revolution are minus Michael Parkhurst and Jay Heaps, two very key defenders who are going to be sorely missed.

New England have already done the league double over Houston, but the circumstances are very different now, Dynamo are in fantastic form losing just two of their last 14, one was a match in this competion that they did not need to win, the other was one of the NE losses when they were missing six starters. Despite the absences, they created far more chances than NE (15-7), but had no luck at all, with a stronger squad, better form and the defensive problems for the home side, plus the stronger record in big finals, I have to firmly side with the visitors.

6 points Houston +1/4 ball 1.92 asian line. PICK IS OF COURSE +1/4 , SORRY, NOT WITH IT TODAY !

Good Luck.

TUESDAY NEWS .....

Interesting day today and I have previewed three matches on the email, I will definitely post one of these on the blog later in the day, so please check back.

The summer has been very profitable, but it is hard not to get excited by the new season. The real business gets underway this weekend, but for now, we can all dream of success for our team, before reality takes a hand.

I have been a Brentford fan all my life and believe me, there has not been too much to cheer about, but family moments aside, the day's that are forever etched on my mind, almost all involve the Bees. A couple of matches from the 1991-92 promotion season , still send a shiver down my spine and the thrill of excitement walking into Griffin Park "The Theatre of Nightmares", will never diminish (until the new stadium is built) . Welcome to the new season !

Back later.

WHAT A MORNING !

I have just put the finishing touches to my preview of the new english football season and have taken a look at the top five leagues, with selections in each. I have included a ten point bet, which is huge for me and and also selections at odds of 21.0 , 19.0 and 13.0.

It runs to some 2,000 words and I am pleased with my work, which I do not say lightly. Goodness knows how many hours I have spent on this , obviously the work has other benefits too, but it definitely took 6-7 hours today to collate my notes and type the blooming thing !

Last year's preview, you can see the details on this link, produced huge profits and hopefully, we can have similar success this season. It will only be sent to subscribers and none of it will be reproduced on the blog. Anyone taking out a subscription to the email service, in the coming weeks will automatically be sent a free copy. Remember, we will be switching to a three month minimum subscription from August 16th, after that time, it will not be so easy to make any "offers". I am keen to get as many of you on board as possible and if you want to sent me an email via the "contact us" button on the website, here is a quick link, I will send details of my best possible deal to get you signed up and also to receive a copy of the ante post preview.

Good Luck.

SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE ...

Dunfermline lost to a very late strike yesterday, this was against the run of play, as my selection had dominated most of the second and hit the woodwork twice, the second immediately before Thistle struck their winner, a long range effort, from outside the box.

The pain was eased somewhat, by Djokovic's win over Rafa and the five goals that Brentford ran in at Woking, cannot remember the last time that I typed the words, five goals and Brentford in the same sentence, without tears streaming down my cheeks, so had to get that in.

I have previewed four matches on the email service today and we have booked another winning week for subscribers, regardless of what happens to these selections, so you can see, that it has been another very strong 7 days and our 13th winning week from the last 16, during which we have recorded fantastic returns.

Good Luck with your bets today.

FOOTBALL.......

SCOTLAND
DIVISION 1

PARTICK THISTLE - DUNFERMLINE

Hosts are very goal shy and really need another striker, they will be further hindered in this department today, by the missing Liam Buchanan, top scorer last season and generally considered their star player. Dunfermline have addressed similar concerns with the signing of Andy Kirk this week and he goes straight into the side. The Pars are hoping to trouble the favourites in this league and will be looking for a flying start, after being slow from "the traps" last August, which, all but put paid to their challenge. They could do little more than ease to a three goal cup win over Stirling last week and will take heart and confidence from that, Kirk will ensure competion for starting places, away win.

5.5 points Dunfermline level ball asian line 1.90..... now 1.77

Good Luck

ATP MASTERS TENNIS ... CINCINNATI

RAFAEL NADAL - NOVAK DJOKOVIC

Rafa leads the series 9-3, but the Serbian has a 3-1 advantage on hardcourts, winning the last three, including at Indian Wells this year, without dropping a set. This is played on a Decoturf court, which is said to be the fastest of all the Masters surfaces and it is worthwhile remembering, that Nadal had a losing record in this event, coming into the tournament. Of course, he is playing on another level this year, but this is Djokovic's best surface and it is arguably, Nadal's third best. At the back of Djokovic's mind must be the thought that, if he cannot at least push, the player who will shortly be the world number one, on his favourite surface, where does he go from here. I think that this will be close and see value in backing Novak at a big looking 3.0, at least for minimal stakes.

3.5 points Djokovic to beat Nadal 3.0 Exchanges.

IVO KARLOVIC - ANDY MURRAY

Obviously Karlovic will be suited by the conditions and his defeat of Federer will have done wonders for his confidence. Having said that, the young British player, has winning records over most big servers, Roddick (4-3), Tursunov (5-0 including this week) and indeed today's opponent (2-0). This is hardly surprising, as he has a great defensive game, can feed off their speed and is tactically astute, he is "up there" with the very best in this department. I do feel that he will progress today, but have no use for his odds of sub 1.50. The two previous meetings both went the distance, with four of the six sets going to tie breakers. I am going to take the over, which could even be covered by two tb's and a small bet on Murray to win in three.

3.5 points over 25 games 2.05 Pinnacle Sports.
1.5 points Murray to win 2-1 sets 4.0 Hills/Bet 365 ...... similar or higher should be available later in the day on the exchanges.

Good Luck.

FRIDAY .......

Big weekend for Rafael Nadal, following Roger Federer's loss to Ivo Karlovic last night, the Spanish superstar, can officially claim the world number one crown, with a win in the Cincinnati Masters. Whether or not it happens this week, it is only a matter of time. What a year it has been for Spain !

It was made clear weeks ago, that I expected to have a very good summer and the email service has really delivered over recent weeks. I looked at three matches in the newsletter yesterday, gave two bets, both of which won and left the third up to subscribers, having given strong indication that the favourite could be opposed in that game (they lost 2-0).

So, another two winners, that's five from five in the last two days and 7 from 9 this week, we look to be heading for another winning week, which would make 13 from 16 ! Think about that for a moment, in just shy of four months , the email service has made a loss (minimal) in just three weeks !

I have had contact from two readers of the blog recently and their basic argument, was that they bet everyday and are losing, but cannot afford to join the email service. That just doesn't make sense to me. To receive the newsletter everyday costs as little as $3, anyone taking advantage of the many offers that I have made, has paid around $2, that is not a lot of money if you are gambling and many people pay more for a quality weekend newspaper.

If you are gambling, you cannot have too much information and most, if not all, you have to pay for in some way, whether it is a service like mine, or newspapers/magazines, phone calls to friends or contacts, or simply with your time, how much do you think studying online for a couple of hours actally costs you ?

The email service is now closing in on 500 points profit since late September, every single one of those emails is archived on the website, in addition to the winners given and profit generated, there is a lot of additional information and pointers that will lead you to future winners.

For example, recently, I wrote about a team in the Championship who are far ahead of their rivals in terms of fitness and are expected to make a flying start this season. They have already won a couple of friendlies at very nice odds. Yesterday, I wrote the following .....

Let me start with a few words about the Llanelli- Bristol Rovers game, which might be priced up very late in the day, by the asian bookmakers. Llanelli are a little ahead of schedule this year, having already played in Europe and this is their "big" pre season game. Rovers sent their first team up to play Rotherham last night which involved a six hour round trip and they also picked up a couple of injuries. None of those players are likley to take part and it should be very much a "b " side that plays and Paul Trollope will not want any to collect any more injuries, this close to the new season. Llanelli won 2-0

Remember, that was not a selection, so not included in any totals, but surely worth knowing !

I am still working on today's email, but will probably have three selections, it will not be possible to put any of these on the blog, so there is no need to check back today. Tomorrow, I will probably have a blog selection, or maybe even two.

Finally, several of you have asked about my long term selections for the english domestic leagues, where we had such phenomenal success last season, these will be released in the early part of next week, but will only be for subscribers, they will not be posted on the blog.

Ok, I will end the sales pitch there, if you don't get it, then you just don't get it !

Good luck with your bets today.

IT IS EARLY THURSDAY MORNING ...........

I told you yesterday that I had sent subscribers previews of three matches. To be honest, I was short of time, so my comments were a little briefer than normal, but I had still done my homework and all three won. The email is reproduced in full below and made almost 18 points profit.

I had two new sign ups overnight, so this was the first newsletter they had received, a $17 unit stake would have already more than covered the cost of subscription for three months ! Longer, if taking advantage of one of the recent special offers.

This is an exceptional service, it will not win every day, that is impossible and there will be losing periods, but it will educate , inform and has never made a loss in any 13 week period. This is why we are moving to a three month minimum subscription period, so that everyone can see the true value of the content.

There is a lot of information on the website, including results, an archive with over 300 daily emails available to read, a Q&A section and lots more, take a look.

WEDNESDAY JULY 30TH

I only have 20 minutes to type and send this, so will have to keep things fairly brief.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
SECOND ROUND QUALIFICATION

ANORTHOSIS FAMAGUSTA - RAPID VIENNA

Hosts have been made quite strong favourites in Asia and I have to say that I agree with that. The conditions in Famagusta are going to be brutal, with very high temperatures and humidity. Anotthosis will have a sell out crowd cheering them on and coach Temuri Ketsbaia, has been given the backing of his board and signed a couple of star names. Most famous is Greek national hero Dellas , whose experience will be vital at the centre of defence, Nolberto Solano is also said to be about to sign,maybe already has, but I have not yet seen confirmation and he will not play in any case, but it gives some idea of their ambition. Rapid could live with a narrow defeat, which seems the most likely outcome for me and is competitively priced.

4 points Anorthosis -1/2 ball 2.50 general quote. WON 3-0

CLUB FRIENDLY
NOTTINGHAM FOREST - SUNDERLAND

This is being shown live on television and Forest will be hoping for better luck in front of the cameras, as their record in televised games is dire. They are likely to start new signing Andy Cole up front on his debut and he will be anxious to score against his former club and team mate (Roy Keane). Cole and Robert Earnshaw, could form a very potent partnership at Championship level this season, if they "click". Forest drew 1-1 with Everton at the weekend, but were fortunate not to lose, the Premiership side dominated proceedings and created a lot of chances.

Sunderland have a number of new signings and have impressed in pre season, Teemu Tainio has already started and Pascal Chimbonda and El-Hadji- Diouf (cue booing) look set to make their debuts this evening. Kieran Richardson has rededicated himself to the game and has lost a lot of weight in the off season, during which he worked incredibly hard, we should see the best of him tonight and this season. I am siding with the Black Cats.

5 points Sunderland -1/4 ball ( asian line odds not released yet). WON 1-0

NORTH AMERICA SUPERLIGA
NEW ENGLAND REVOLUTION - ATALANTE

Following Houston's win yesterday, I am going to stick with another US side to set up an "all american" final in Superliga. Revolution are very close to being the best MLS side and have already seen off two Mexican sides at the Gillette Stadium in this competition, Santos Laguna and Pachuca, both by 1-0 scorelines. There was a little good fortune in each, but at least they won and the US clubs are no longer "running scared" of their southern neighbours.

Atalante have done well to reach this stage, after an opening day thumping (4-0) by Houston. I feel that the MLS teams are stronger this year and the schedule has once again helped, NE have not played for ten days, the Mexican side had to fly home to Cancun for their domestic opener at the weekend. This is the second meeting between these two this year, Revolution met Atlante on their pre season tour and things got a little heated, with 9 yellow cards and three players sent off, which is almost unheard of in a friendly. The home team won 1-0, but New England had the better chances and obviously will want to put the record straight, as well as earn their share of the big prize money on offer here. This could easily boil over again and odds about another red card could pay dividends, but I will take the home team to progress.

6 points New England -1/4 ball 1.93 asian line. WON 1-0 NE were the subject of a massive gamble, backed down to circa 1.68.

Good Luck.

WEDNESDAY .....

Houston won for us last night and I hope to continue the good run ( 12 winning weeks from 15 for subscribers) today, where I am previewing three football matches on the newsletter.

The cost for short term subscriptions has been incresed considerably, as advised recently and will be removed on August 16th, when we will introduce a three month minimum sign up period. I believe that this gives a fair reflection of the service, in gambling, nothing is guaranteed, but we would always expect to make decent returns over a thirteen week period, it takes a lot of variance/ luck out of the equation, which can always come into play over a single month.

The service has never made a loss in any three month period, there are over 300 daily emails archieved on the website, which you can read in full. All previews are full write ups, like the Houston selection below and the newsletter has made a profit of over 464 points, in the last ten months alone. I would urge any long term readers of the blog to consider joining the service and you are welcome to ask any questions via the "contact us" button on the website www.predictuwin.com.

Good Luck.

TONIGHT'S FOOTBALL ...........

NORTH AMERICA SUPERLIGA
HOUSTON DYNAMO- PACHUCA

This is the first semi-final of Superliga and a rematch of last year's meeting at the same stage, which the mexican side took on penalties.Houston consider themselves hard done by, as they took the lead, played 80 mins of regular time with 10 men and then were reduced to nine for extra time ! If that was not enough the two met again in the semis of the CONCACAF Champions Cup, Dynamo won the home leg 2-0, but lost the return, again, going out on penalties !

They are incredibly motivated to get some revenge and have been very focused in the competition so far. They opened with an eye catching 4-0 win over Atalante, beat DC United 3-1 to qualify and even in the 1-0 loss to Guadalajara played really well and controlled the game for long periods. The last thing Houston want is another shoot out, they will have their very passionate fans making the atmosphere white hot and the two time US defending champions, are determined to prove theirselves on a bigger stage.

Hosts have not played for 7 days and should be the fresher of the two, Pachuca had to fly home for their first domestic game of the season at the weekend.

6.5 points Houston -1/4 ball 2.08 asian line.

Good luck.

FRUSTRATION !

I was left very frustrated by sunday's results, both my golfers were leading their two balls late in the day and yet ended up drawing their matches. My sole football wager, led for well over 70 minutes, before conceding very late in the game .

Having said that, we again made a very good profit on the week, which makes 12 winning week's from the last 15 and we are now over 464 points up since September, with over 300 emails fully archieved on the website www.predictuwin.com.

Things are really warming up, we have French and Scottish league football starting this week, the lower league English action following next week and the Premiership gets underway on August 16th. I am incredibly busy at the moment, not just trying to sniff out out all the value, that is undeniably around at present, but also putting the finishing touches to my outright selections, in the ante post domestic markets, where we had such amazing success last year.

There has never been a better time to join the email service and you should at least take a look, which is free !

I have previewed three football matches today for subscribers and am confident that they will turn a profit, if possible, I will post one of them on the blog later this afternoon.

Good Luck.

SUNDAY ...........

I have sent out a very big 7.5 point bet on today's football, but am keeping that for subscribers.

SENIOR OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP GOLF

Following last week's main tour event the seniors have been playing their Open event this week at Royal Troon and the leaderboard, looks a lot like this ...

-6 JOHN COOK

-5 BRUCE VAUGHAN

-4 EDUARDO ROMERO

-1 BERNHARD LANGER

-1 TOM WATSON

I am putting up a couple of two ball bets:

13.37 UK TIME BERNHARD LANGER - GREG NORMAN

Norman has had a couple of very high profile, mentally draining week's and he was never the best final day player in Majors during his pomp. He was alreading showing the strain, before a great round yesterday , took him onto the tails of the leaders. I doubt he can reproduce anything like that today and in Langer, is meeting someone still at the top of their game, who has won twice this year and is one of the toughest guys you could ever meet on a golf course. The German is a fine links player and was six times top three in the main event, losing out in two play offs. He was runner up last week and is far more battle hardened than Norman, who plays a very limited schedule.

4.5 points Langer to beat Norman 2.0 general quote.

13.46 UK TIME EDUARDO ROMERO - TOM WATSON

I love Tom Watson, he is a true gentleman of the game and plays these Scottish links courses, as well as anyone in recent history. Tee to green his game has not changed much, however, his putting, especially from short distance, really lets him down and at times, is painful to watch. Romero plays the game with a bit of a swagger, still hits the ball a country mile and is owed one of these titles. He was 4th last year, lost out in a play off in 2006, finished 9th in 2005 and was beaten by a stroke a year earlier. He would be my outright selection, but I will take him to beat Watson, who five shots back, might be forced to go for it a bit too much and his short putting might again suffer.

4 points Romero to beat Watson 2.20 general quote

Good Luck.

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

.... all won
7.5 points Queen of the South -3/4 ball WON 5-1
6.5 points Burnley -1/2 ball WON 3-0
5.5 points Birmingham -1/2 ball WON 2-0
6.5 points Brondby -1/2 ball WON 2-1

QOTS were the subject of a monster gamble through the day, Brondby were given to subscribers on Thursday at odds of 2.10. These produced a profit of circa 26 points !!!

Details of the service can be found at www.predictuwin.com .

SATURDAY UPDATE ......

Thank you to everyone that has signed up to receive the newsletter over the last seven days, the response has been fantastic and I hope that your confidence will be rewarded.

I have previewed four matches on the email today, all are strong selections, including a 7.5 point bet. However, it will not be possible for me to post any of them on the blog, all are early kick offs and I have to ensure that subscribers get first crack.

I am putting the finishing touches to my previews of the English league ante post markets at the moment and will be sending them out in the next week or so. To discourage anyone from signing up to the service, just to get these previews, I will be significantly increasing the cost of a one month subscription, from midnight on Sunday, as you already know, this option will be complety removed from August 16th, when we will move to a three month minimum subscription.

The 13 week and one year subscription rates remain unchanged and you have all been offered the opportunity to get five months for the price of three recently, which was an incredible offer, bringing the cost down to around 1.3 euros per day.

Finally, congratulations to Andy Murray, who finally managed to defeat Novak Djokovic and is rewarded with a semi final against Rafa Nadal. Murray was selected on the email yesterday at odds of 5.40 and we also got a correct score right on the Irish football @ 7.0.

Good Luck.

TGIF ...........

We are heading into a very busy weekend and today's jam packed email contained, two selections for Irish football, a big 7 point selection for a friendly match and a juicy odds punt on the tennis. In addition, I have already given an early selection for tomorrow's action, where we have got the best of the odds. So, an exciting couple of days ahead.

So many teams are playing two, even three matches per week at the moment and it is simply not possible, for bookmakers to send as much time looking at certain individual games as I do, when they are working to tight deadlines. That is why subcribers have a big advantage and you really must be making money from your football bets at the moment, it is a golden period.

If you are not, or can't be bothered putting in the hours, then take a look at the newsletter .

Good Luck.
