That's not a joke. :/

And with that, I must now go wake up a toddler, drop her off at my mums, and make my way up north. Season starts in three hours!

If you are trying to make me feel guilty you've succeed :'(

[Dynamite]

Cheeky £2 on a score draw at 7/2 and another on Berbatov anyime at 11/4. Will probably stick bigger bets on the games later today but will wait for team news to come out first.

[iiMarco x]

£4 on Everton, Hull and Liverpool.

[Jimmy]

Arsenal to win and over 2.5 goals.

Have I wasted a quid today?

Looks like the pints are on you Mykel.

2.50 richer!

[Jimmy]

...the half pints are on you?

[MDK]

I knew you and TEOL were the same person, now I can prove it

[Jimmy]

That's harsh, man.

[METALMAN]

Hahahahaha half pint teol. I forgot about that. Marvellous.

Emptied the last bit of money I had in my sky bet account into a lucky 15 (and the remaining 7p on the 4-fold!). Got Spurs -1, City -1 and a couple of dogs (one's a well priced favourite, the other a bit riskier because it's moving up in class but it'll add value to the bet to make it worthwhile).

I forsee one team winning with the handicap and all other bets losing and I end up with 54p in my account :/

Didn't have a bet at the weekend so gonna have a bash at the League Cup tonight. Had a couple of big winners on the League Cup in the past so fingers crossed. BTTS;

Bristol City vs Crystal Palace

Burton vs Fulham

Derby vs Brentford

Huddersfield vs Charlton

QPR vs Swindon

[Baddar]

Stupid QPR-Swindon cost me over £100 last night. All of my other matches had 3 goals or more, but not that one. No no.

It's a fucking mugs game.

[Starvinho]

Got my first Goals Galore win of the season at the 6th attempt. £20 on at 16/1. Nice bit of money at the right time because I go on holiday on Tuesday!

Ipswich-Middlesbrough

Millwall-Derby

Crawley-Shrewsbury

Wolves-Swindon

York-Mansfield

[MDK]

Always bet on Orient, that is my advice to you at the moment.

Righty-ho, I put a little acca on the Europa Cup for later, just a simple one. But what do you reckon is a good bet for either the Swansea or Spurs game?

[Gazz]

Bony to score first

[MDK]

Actually Spurs won me 9 quid.

a quid on them to score 3 or more and a in play bet on them to score the third, phew.

So last weekend I was like "OH HEY I HAVEN'T BET ON ANYTHING IN AGES, CHELSEA TO WIN" and lost a fiver. This annoyed me.

Hence this weekend I've switched to the old "soften the blow" tactic. £1 bet on both a loss (11/1) and a draw (19/4).

Also a £2 acca on tomorrow's six PL matches. I may live to regret backing both Newcastle and Villa...

[Liam]

We're never going to draw/beat you. No chance.

[stokeriño]

Then I will be happy and will have paid £2 for the privilege.
