    Is goals galore where you feel both sides will score?

    Doesn't seem like a bad bet to me.....

    Macklin at 2/9 is awful value - if the Finn is available at 3/1 I'd stick a fiver on that as a bet to nothing.

    Get on Kessler by stoppage, it's only 1/2 but as near a cert as you can get, I'd say. There are far less certain bets out there around the 1/4 mark.

    Its a decent bet@ beeston, but sometimes I feel there is better value in an over 2.5 goals coupon as some teams do get twatted to nil

    GG is fun though. Stick to about 6 max and concentrate on lower leagues and there will be money to be made I'm sure

    Cheers mate just done. Put a tenner down. Its all on you if he loses now haha. But seeing the boxrecs. He lost a ud to sartison who kessler stopped. Only thing that worries me is hes never been stopped but never faced a kessler either.

    Good luck.

    Kessler 1/2 great value punt ... will wear Perdermo down over the first 6 and throw the towel in after 7 ... Kessler wants the job done quickly and efficiently as theres bigger fish to fry coming up .... will be having a wad of tenners on this too !

    Just hope he doesn't get taken the distance due to ring rust...... I think he is something like 1/10 just to win the fight - might even be worse.

    I'm not going to touch it but McDermott is 9/2 to beat Fury!! They are incredible odds considering how little we really know about Fury.

    Anybody able to get odds on somebody outside of the initial 6 fighters winning the Super 6?

    I'm thinking there's bound to be a few injuries along the way and somebody will get called up.

    William Hill won't give me anything.

    Should be decent odds.

    Put a tenner on a cert footy match this week, and stick £2 on McDermott.

    You will be up either way :yep

    just done a bit of research with this goals galore in mind for anyone who cares...

    in the last 36 prem games 58% of results have had atleast one team not score in the game

    in the last 59 championship games 49% have had atleast one team not score

    so if you just bet on championship games (say its 50%) and you pick 3 games, by my maths that means you have a 1/8 chance of winning (1/2 for each game, then times 1/2 by 3)

    now i know this is just a prediction and some games are more likely to be goaless than others but football can be very unpredictable and its made me think twice about how rewarding this could be.

    how many of you have had success on this. its very tempting tho

    Lads do seem to have success with that, though I havn't tried it myself.

    I think its about picking your battles wisely, i.e. not Stoke.

    the goals galore bet can be profitable , i have posted a couple of selections on here i have a treble up last night and 3ot of 4 last weekend which i recommended to perm in cross trebles and a fourfold
    on top of this i have won on 4 out of 6 times ive done this bet
    you need to follow a few simple rules
    do not pick to many selections at odds of 9/2 for 3 selections or 9/1 for four you dont need to get greedy
    secondly focus on teams on derby matches they are passionate affairs and rarely end up 1-0 or 0-0
    premership games are harder but games like wolves v hull are mini cup finals for these sides and they need to get something from them
    lastly put in plenty of studying time look at league tables/form/teams with weak defences/ attacking teams look at injuires to goalies and forwards bbc.com gives very detailed team info from friday afternoon onwards

    this is what has been making me money it takes time but its worth it
    i post my selections in here on a friday night feel free to chek em out and discuss
