Draw tonight at 12/5. Worth a fiver for me . As good as bayern are, they're without muller and kroos tonight and Messi should be back. I'll wait to see the teams first but probably going to stick a fiver on.

Edit:Muller plays, I got told he was out. Still fancy a draw though.

[Baddar]

Real are an insulting 100/30 to qualify tonight.

You can get 10/1 on Barca making it through.

Banged 100 bob on Robben next scorer at half time at 14/1. B)

Boyle Sports offering 18/1 on Wigan winning the cup final in regular time. For anyone fancying a long shot...

Had McManaman first goal at 20-1. Gutted because he had the best of the chances, but absolutely delighted Wigan won.

I'm going to bring this post up at Point To The Sign 3: Point With A Vengeance.

Money will be well spent by then

I put £5 on The Players over the weekend. Nothing back.

My gf put £8 on, nothing back, although her selections came closer to placing than mine (an 8th and two around 13th).

Luckily, my £2 free bet saved me, as I had it on Tiger, so I won £15 - I'll use that for the BMW PGA next week, and on the CL final, I think.

[Baddar]

Baddarina's 55/1 pick just won the BMW PGA!

[Gazz]

She can spend her winnings on six months membership to match.com and find herself a proper boyfriend.

[Baddar]

She actually wanted to spend it all on the next big golf event.

Decided I'm gonna do a 5 game Goals Galore each Saturday of the season. It pays 16/1 on Betfred's bonus list, that means I'll only have to win 3 times (out of approx 40 weeks) to be in profit for the season. Sounds easy enough, right?

This week I've got;

Barnsley v Wigan

Birmingham v Watford

Newport v Accrington

Shrewsbury v MK Dons

Torquay v AFC Wimbledon

Wish me luck!

Did two £1 fivefolds just for interest. First day of season is always a bitch when it comes to gambling anyway.

[Colly]

I've randomly used the last 7p in my Hills account (don't ask) on some preseason games, and over the course of 3 fivefolds turned it into £2.76. Wish I'd started with a fiver.

Not thought about todays yet, sure I can find five cautious bankers somewhere. PSG in the super cup will be one.

[Blue Rosler]

I've put several speculative bets on, as the start of the season always gives good odds.

Top Scorer E/W (top four scorers) - Wilfried Bony, Steven Jovetic, Andreas Cornelius

Europa League E/W (make the final) - Swansea, Besiktas, Lazio

Top 10 Finish - Cardiff City

POTY - Juan Mata, Robin Van Persie (going on the logic that Bale won't last the season)

Championship E/W - Bolton, Wigan, Nottingham Forest

Awful start to the season. Despite the fact there was quite a few goals flying in today, I only got 2-out-of-5 and managed to pick one of the only 0-0s in the whole of Europe. Onwards and upwards I suppose...

[Baddar]

I'll start betting when the PL starts. Not that it'll help me a great deal. :/

6 team accy came in last night, £4 on, £127.84 back.
