Cashback! A great night for the tips and this approach has done very well for a number of years and is one I firmly believe in. Matchday 3 was a low point with a 5 point loss but that is now forgotten with this full house netting 8.9pts. Faith and perseverance are important in betting although it is always wise to remember this quote from David Brent

Quitters never win, winners never quit. But those who never win and never quit are idiots.

Loved this run from Marco Reus for his goal against Galatasaray. He makes the first pass and then sets off on a fantastic run to find the through ball, splitting the two centre backs so they are both a few paces behind him.

Calamitous. A complete wipeout and this quote to boot

“There have not been many meetings between Italian and German teams in the last few years but this could be the season that the Italian league starts to improve again in Europe”

A resounding no is the answer to that.
