    Fancy Swansea strongly this evening. 20/21 is decent for the team who had the strongest home form over the 46 games. Forest missed their chance last week vs 10 men at home.

    Yeah, I might have some of that myself.

    :lol: Not sure what to make of that.

    Obviously West Ham are gone, Blackpool aren't getting **** all at Old Trafford.... Wigan would do well to get a point at Stoke, but I can't see Birmingham getting anything at Spurs, even though they've fallen to bits since Madrid.

    I was pissed off about that myself.

    I had an alright week, I backed Newcastle to get a point at Chelsea and laid off at 1-1, backed the draw at Wigan vs West Ham and laid off at 2-2 and BTS in the Man Utd/Blackburn game.... but had Liverpool to draw with Spurs which pegged me back a bit.

    Still a decent return for not much stress.

    Me too.

    Forest are going to have to attack Swansea which will play into their hands. If Forest make it through to Wembley I'd be very impressed.

    I reckon both small heath and Wigan will get draws meaning the **** will stay up. It's mainly due to the win-win factor though. :D

    About £50 I think it was.

    Had a good weekend with the Ward fight so not too fussed.

    I left the Ward fight alone, wouldn't have surprised me to have seen a late stoppage.... maybe by the corner.

    Gonna have a good bet on Hopkins by decision this week I think.

    Yeah 2/1 is a cracking price for it I think... even if Hopkins is saying it's going to be like Griffith-Paret. :scaredas:

    15/4 for DeGale decision ain't bad either. :think

    Yeah, 15/4 is worth a punt, if I do alright on the playoff second legs I might have £100 on that.

    DeGale obviously isn't a big puncher and will be more wary of Groves than he was of Smith. My biggest concern with this bet is the amount of energy that Groves wastes.... if DeGale starts putting the pressure on he could get him out of there in the late rounds.

    Could always cover it with a small bet on Degale 7-12 at 5/2?

    Draw/Swansea is 9/2 in the HT/FT market.

    I can see Forest sitting back trying to keep the game tight in the first half and frustrating Swansea.

    I hate doing those HT/FT bets, I find them too hard to predict....

    After losing out in the Prince Aaron fight by getting greedy I think i'm just gonna stick to straight bets(no homo) for a while....

    Cardiff-Reading second leg. Best bet is draw after 90 minutes.

    Is it straight to penalties after 90 minutes or ET?

    I can see Cardiff being really nervous in this one and a bit weary about opening up because Reading will punish them.

    The whacking that Middlesbrough gave them will be in the back of their minds I feel. It was cringeworthy stuff.

    You can get 10/1 on both sides to win on pens, back both and you're looking at 9/2 for either side doing it.

    Paddy Power are giving 2/1 on Reading to qualify in normal time. Does that means a Reading win or a score draw = 2/1?
