Week 10 (10/10/08)

Been working hard on the console all day and the main console is done. I will remove the beta wording next week and will concentrate on adding cards to the mini-console and then correcting any snags there.

Less games this weekend and so naturally less selections

Grimsby v Wycombe (English League Two: Saturday 3pm BST)

This is one of those games that you look at and see a team that looks good value to win so then its about trying to extract the value bet from it. Unbeaten Wycombe are away at winless Grimsby and the stat that sticks out for me is that Grimsby have scored just one home goal in 4 games and Wycombe are yet to let in a goal on their travels. Does that mean each that these runs are likely to come to an end? I am happy to go along with the stats and the point to Wycombe winning to 0 but the odds on this are just 3.4. Wycombe’s scores away have been 0-1, 0-2, 0-0 and 0-1 so I am happy to cover 0-1 and 0-2 with ½ a point each, especially as 2/4 Grimsby home games have ended 0-2.

++ Correct Score – 0-1 and 0-2 @ 8 (Ladbrokes/Stan James) and 9.5 (Paddy Power/William Hill) (2 x ½pt = 1pt)

Leeds v Brighton (English League One: Saturday 3pm BST)

After winning 4 on the bounce Leeds went down to Peterborough last weekend and then also went out of the Johnstones Paint trophy in midweek. Maybe that’s no big deal but they look a quite a short price against a Brighton team who are unbeaten away. Brighton are not winning many games but have only lost 2 of their 9 and I think Leeds name has an effect on their price. At Elland Road this season they have W2, D1 and L1 with the wins coming against Crewe and Hereford who have amassed one away point in 8 games between them. I am very tempted by the 6 available on Brighton to win but will play safe as the Asian Handicap offers a nice line and a nice price. Brighton can be backed at above evens on +0.5, +1 and I think it’s worth a bet as a Leeds victory by more than one goal is the only way we lose the whole point.

++ Asian Handicap – Brighton (+0.5, +1) on VC @ 2.08 (1pt) – 2.05 on Bet365 (no Pinnacle price available but normally it’s the best)

2 points staked on the weekend.

Good luck in whatever bets you do.
