English Premiership Betting - The Premiership Weekend Wager

Sporting predictions by Chris Clegg - Putting your money where your mouth is!

I've got a feeling...

I've got a strange feeling that Man City might just break their drawing sequence (seven on the bounce, no less!) against mighty Chelsea on Saturday... I know, I know, the Blues destroyed Arsenal on Sunday but they are due a win...and wins are often like buses - you wait for a long time for one, then, yes you've guessed it, two come along. City are playing Arsenal on Wednesday in the meaningless cup. Well, it's meaningless to anyone with a chance of winning the league or the Champion's league...so it means a hell of a lot to the likes of Man City and Arsenal. City might just win both matches. You can get 11/4 about them beating Chelsea on Saturday which is tremendous value - as is 10/11 for them to beat Arsenal's under 16's on Wednesday. Doubles for dough?
City/Chelsea is the late kick off on Saturday, whereas the early kick-off is at Portsmouth where Burnley are the visitors. The Clarets are a bit like my washing machine at the moment - leaky and inconsistent. They are 3/1 against winning and I wouldn't back them. Get on Pompey at 8/11 to Grant Avram's request and beat the Lancashire pot shots.

Wooooohoooo!

Arsenal take on Stubborn Stoke, and the Midlanders are 9/1 to get an unlikely result; Arsenal are 2/9 which are shockingly bad odds. I've got a feeling (woooohoooo) that Stoke may just Pul(is) off a point and at 19/5 - that's nearly 4/1 it would certainly rocket your accas.

At Villa Park, Aston entertain Hull and O'Neill won't be s'Martin when his side get back to business by beating the Humbersiders. Phil will be Browned off as his team were starting to pick up...But like a dodgy hoover, they can only pick up for so long and they'll be picked off by the Villa. 2/5's very poor value though but Villa are certs: you heard it here first.

Memories...

Down at Upton Park, the Hammers will welcome United (FC of Manchester)...Ohhhh the memories - remember Di Canio scoring in the 1-0 triumph back in 2001? I had a pound on that one at 100/1. Carlton Cole to score and Wham to win 1-0 won't be far off those odds - think I'll have a pound for old time's sake (and put a fiver on the Reds to get my money back!). On a serious note, the draw's good value at 11/4 - double that up with Arsenal/Stoke and you might be laaaaaughing. It's 5/1 Wham and 4/9 Fergie's men.

Lancashire Pot Shots

Up in Lancashire the Wiganers take on Birmingham and Blackburn play Liverpool. Now, Blackburn (16/5) aren't very good. But, to be honest, neither are Liverpool (7/10). Again, the draw (12/5) looks, like many Scouse ladies, well females, very attractive! Birmingham are flying at the moment, thanks to old LB, and if Wigan aren't at the races, the old warhorse Bowyer may just help his nags edge it by a nose on Saturday. 11/5 about the Brum is a great price. Same price the draw (again, tempting...) and it's evens about Wigan - like Orwell was when he walked the road to Wigan Pier - poor!

Yorkshiremen

The last game on Saturday is at Molineux as Wolves and Bolton do battle. I like Mick McCarthy -he's a typical Yorkshireman: loud, opinionated and he knows what he wants. Unfortunately, like most Yorkshiremen, he seldom gets what he wants. I want a Jag and a lot of money...I've got a Corsa and an overdraft. Mick wants to win and stay up. Bolton aren't very good, I grant you, but Wolves are as bad at the moment and both teams are staring relegation in the face, even at this early stage of the season. There will certainly be at least three draws on Saturday. This one will certainly be close. I'm certain of that. 5/4 Wolves; 7/4 Bolton; 11/5 the draw.

Sunday twosome

Sunday sees another couple of close games as Everton entertain Spurs and Fulham play Sunderland. Harry's Spurs are Hot at the moment, as indeed are Stevie's Sunderland. Everton are sliding down the league almost as quick as Liverpool slid into the Europa league and I fear for Moyes' job, as indeed he will when his side is beaten by Spurs. Get on Harry's lot at 11/8; Everton are 13/8 and the draw's 21/10. Down at the cottage, Brucey will get at least a bonus point - he may even get three. Avoid Fulham at evens. The black cats are 11/5 which is very good value for a team playing so well. It's the same price for the draw.

Wager of the Weekend

West Ham and Stoke to claim unlikely draws against Man Utd and Arsenal, respectively. A tenner on this double wins £180. I'll have a double, please.

Record Breakers?

Man City equalled the record for consecutive draws in the premiership last week (7) and I feel that there could be a record number of draws for a premiership weekend this weekend. Any four draws wins you well over a grand for your tenner. Here are my four: Both Sunday games (Everton/Fulham and Sunderland/Spurs); Wolves/Bolton and Wigan/Birmingham on Saturday. Even a tiny quid on these gets you well over a ton. Get on.

Six o'the best

Ok I'm getting carried away now but if you add the wager of the weekend to the record breakers and have a six-wayer (you know you want to...) you'd be looking at nearly £2000 from a quid...or £20,000 for a tenner. Gamble responsibly now, won't you!
