Wednesday Night Football Tips

2012-02-01T06:01:00.000-08:00

Afternoon All,

Last night we hit one draw and the Over 2.5 goals bet did not come off although you could have layed over 2.5 goals @ 1.15 after the 2nd goal went in before Half-time. Bit frustrating to say the least. Anyway, overall we made a small profit and I hope to make some more tonight with the following selections:

Over 2.50 Goals (+3.10 pts)

Date League Time Match Odds

01/02/2012	England	20:00	Bolton v Arsenal	1.71

Staking: Back 1pt to Win

Lay The Draw Selections (+69.55 pts since 17/09/11)

The Tip exchange is also a good place for you to see what other Football Tipsters are doing and for many, you can view their selections for free, so check it out!

Trading Advice on Today's Footy Selections

2012-01-21T04:05:00.000-08:00

Hi All,

For the traders out there, my research on today's football matches below can be used for trading purposes. You can either use the lay the draw technique (on the LTD selections) and green up after a goal (basic trade but the price should go up 90% of the time regardless who scores the goal) or you can back the under 2.5 goals selections pre-match and lay-off (scalping technique) 10-15 mins into the game depending how quick the odds are moving. If an early goal is scored I'm still predicting the game is going to be under 2.5 goals so you should have an opportunity to recover/trade out with minimal loss and vice versa for the over 2.5 goals football tipster selections.

Should you ever want to learn the many different style football trading techniques, I would strongly suggest you visit Trading Football EU. They have been going for quite a while now and they offer a monthly membership service or you can purchase their trading videos.

I have them all and you do learn a lot for the momey involved

Good Luck for today

Free (but very good) All Weather Horse Ratings

2012-01-17T12:06:00.000-08:00

Hi Folks,

I know this is off topic to football but I also dabble in the horse racing markets now and again, whether its to back or lay horses. I was made aware of a website called The Actuary through Facebook and it offers very successful paid for services/packages but they also publish free ratings purely for the All weather racing and i like to think I use these to good effect.

The website can be found here - http://horse--racing--tips.blogspot.com/ and the page on how to use the ratings can be found here http://horse--racing--tips.blogspot.com/p/how-to-use.html .

I personally use these ratings for the place markets (horse price of arounf 1.70 or above to place) and wait for a rated horse that has a Red Bold % and is fairly high rated (top5 or so) or ones that have * and a normal red % (perform better on that track amd distance).

For example here were yesterday's free ratings

Good Luck
