The Football World Cup 2006 turned me interested in sports betting and soon understood it was not so easy. Fortunately I found OLBG then. So I have been learning and enjoying this site for 19 years now. Progressively I began to improve and I felt very happy when I started to get top position in 6-month profit in some football categories, horse racing and tennis. Also I realised I have grown in objectivity through these blogs when I got the first position in Argentine football blogs. Finally blogger prizes and pro status in tennis completed what I think as my basic learning. I am proud of having beat the Bookies in the site competitions and also, in real life overall balance since those 2006 days.

It is not just hope that travels in the saddle of Sams Hope, but confidence and value. After winning over C&D, it could not complete a hat-trick last time but finished relatively close to the winner in a compact group. Winchurch may lead the rest.

@1.92

Win+Push

Newcastle is 12th, 2 points and 2 places above Fulham. The main difference comes from location. Newcastle rises to 6th in the home games table and is unbeaten in the last 5 such games. Fulham remains 14th. A home victory can be expected confidently.

-50

In a surprising year, The Firm is not on top of the Premiership. Anyway, as Dundee Utd is not Hearts, there are no doubts about the outcome of this game. The handicap will be satisfied also, considering these teams played three times this year, and Celtic kept three clean sheets with two or more goals in each match (the last one in April, away, 5 to nil ).

Zurich (7th) seems closer to the win than Lugano (6th, 3 points above), since the former is unbeaten in the last 5 games and has the indirect win over Lugano through St. Gallen in that period.

Lucerne is currently 10th of 12, having lost the last 4 games. Home record is not favourable either. Basel is 3rd, unbeaten in the last 4 games with 3 draws and a win.

An easy home match for City. Current runner-up to win. The host has won the last 2 games 3-0 against teams placed higher than Brentford. Brentford are 15th, with only 1 win in the last 4 and 2 defeats by 2-0 to teams higher in the table.

18:40 6:40 Kempton

Uniting

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@8.00

Win

Uniting is bidding for a hat-trick that was started in C&D a month ago. It is making a large jump in class with a slight penalty for its last win three weeks ago. Unassuming, recent runner-up in the category, looks the major threat, and the lightly loaded Final Fight might be in the mix.

Apples Moon had a very consistent form before the break last year. It came back 11 months later with a promising win at Exeter. The penalty is unlikely to stop its progress. Border Gem looks the one to be the runner-up.

19:45 Rangers v Hibernian

Rangers (AH) -0.50

@1.88

Win

Rangers are 4th and unbeaten in the last 5 games. Hibernian are 5th, 2 points below, having lost twice in the last 5 games (against the 2nd and the 3rd in the tournament). They played three times this year: Rangers won in October (away) and September (home), and drew in May (away).

Alligator Alley is bidding for a hat-trick after two excellent recent wins on standard going. A 4 lb penalty will not stop the pick. Secret Mistral looks the best of the rest.

Fenerbahçe would be runner-up of the Süper Lig with its win today. It is the only unbeaten team in the league, with 5 wins of 7 home games. Konyaspor is 13th of 18, with no wins in the last 5 games.

Avada Kedavra has been on a progress path that culminated in a win last race, from start to finish, at Taunton. That progress is likely to be confirmed against these, seemingly, non-demanding opponents.

This third attempt of Angel Gabriel is likely to be a success in this non-competitive company. Two starts with close second places showed the potential.

19:45 Bologna v Juventus

Bologna (AH) 0.25

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.78

Lose

-50

A Juventus win, even marginally, is the most unlikely outcome, as Juventus' away performance is irregular (2W 2D 3L, with a negative goal difference). Bologna is slightly above Juventus in the table, with only one home defeat.

17:30 Levante v Villarreal

Villarreal

50 WIN

@1.73

Void

Villarreal is placed 3rd in La Liga, with 5 wins in a row. Levante is 20th of 20 with 5 losses in a row. Moreover, Villarreal is quite solid playing away.

17:00 Genoa v Inter Milan

Genoa (AH) 1.00

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.85

Push

This is a very interesting bet since Genoa has the best third-form, being unbeaten in 5 games, which indicates its progress. Inter away has won 4 and lost 2; this may be its first draw of the season.

It seems impossible that there will be any surprise in this game. Bayern Munich is the unbeaten leader of the tournament with only 1 draw in 13 games. Mainz is 18th of 18, with a record of 1 W, 3 D, 9 L.

More than 30 points separate leaders Bayern Munich from rock-bottom Mainz after 13 rounds. In terms of goals, there is a gap of more than 50 clear goals between them. Moreover, the hosts are the team that has conceded the fewest goals and the one that has scored the most.

16:30 Brentford v Leeds

Brentford

-50

Leeds is 16th, just 1 place and 4 points below Brentford. Performance shows large differences considering location. Today's host has 5 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss playing at home. The guest has only 1 away win and 6 away losses.

16:15 Lens v Nice

Lens

100 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@1.50

Lens, winning today, will finish the year as the leader of Ligue 1. It has won the last five games and was beaten only once in seven home games. Nice is 12th of 18, having lost the last five games.

14:00 Nottm Forest v Tottenham

Tottenham (AH) 0.00

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@2.02

Lose

-50

I see value in this DNB for Tottenham since the guest has the 3rd best position in the away games table (won 4 of 7 games, beaten only once). Tottenham is also better than the host overall. Moreover, Nottingham is worse at home than overall.

14:00 Sunderland v Newcastle

Sunderland

50 WINAThis tip was used on Football 4Fold Acca.

@3.45

Win

123

Sunderland and Arsenal are the only teams unbeaten at home. Today's host has 4 wins from 7 away games. Newcastle is just below Sunderland overall but has won only once away. There is a risk of a draw, but a closer look inclines the balance toward the host at value odds.

Aston Villa is currently 3rd. West Ham is 3rd from the bottom. Villa has been extremely efficient at home and so-so away. West Ham are worse at home (2 W, D, 5 L) than away. No doubts.

Arsenal, currently leading, has conceded the fewest goals in the league (9) and is second in goals scored (28). Wolverhampton is 20th of 20 in the table. They have scored the fewest goals (8) and conceded the most goals (33).

These teams are on opposite sides of the table, so the home victory is inevitable. They are also clearly opposite in goals scored and conceded, so a home clean-sheet win can be confidently expected.

19:45 Atalanta v Cagliari

Cagliari (AH) 1.25

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@2.08

Atalanta is 12th, only two places above Cagliari. The former lost four of their last five games; the latter lost only two. The weaknesses of Atalanta are being overlooked in these handicap odds. Value.

19:00 PSV v Heracles

PSV

50 WIN

@1.11

Win

Heracles has improved lately. It is unbeaten in the last 5 games, but still remains in the relegation zone. PSV is at the top of the table with a solid 13 W, 1 D, 1 L record.

17:30 Barcelona v Osasuna

Barcelona

Barcelona is the leader of La Liga with 13 victories in 16 rounds. It has a perfect record at home. Osasuna is 15th overall and the worst away team, with only 2 points gained on the road.

17:00 Antalyaspor v Galatasaray

Galatasaray

110 WIN

@1.35

Win

Antalyaspor is the worst team in the table of home games. Its record at home, 1W 1D 5L, is the reverse of Galatasaray's away record. The guest is the leader of the Süper Lig with 11 wins in 15 rounds.

Coventry is the leader with two-thirds of the matches won and no defeats at home. Bristol City's fate seems sealed against such an opponent, as it is 10th, 14 points below Coventry.

15:00 Liverpool v Brighton

Draw

50 WIN

@4.33

Lose

-50

I see value in forgetting "big team" prejudices in this case. Brighton is better placed than Liverpool overall, and relatively better when comparing respective home/away performances. Brighton has the indirect defeat of Liverpool through Nottingham, a fact that makes Brighton's win the major threat to this bet.

15:00 Middlesbrough v QPR

Middlesbrough (AH) -0.50

Asian Hcap

50 WIN

@1.92

Superiority of Middlesbrough is visible in the table, where the latter is runner-up. QPR is 7th, with 8 points fewer and 4 fewer wins. Today's host turned two of those into draws and two into wins.
