The Snail

I have been a member of OLBG since 2017. In that time I've grown to realize that by and large I excel on correct score markets and football tipping. I still love the casual bet on all sports, especially the horses and golf, but you can catch me in the daily and weekly football comps in the forums most days!

The Snail's Tips History

18 August 2025

20:30 Almeria v Albacete Balompie

Almeria

50 WIN

@1.62

Lose

-50

Almeria were just pipped in the playoffs last year and boasted one of the best home records. Whereas Albacete were pretty woeful on the road with only the 19th best away form. Home win.

20:15 Gil Vicente v FC Porto

FC Porto

50 WIN

@1.40

Win

Three years without a league title is considered a drought in these parts, and the three-way race between Benfica, Sporting, and Porto will undoubtedly be tight again. Vicente got a good win in week one, but the Porto squad just looks too strong, and they should have enough, even on the road.

20:00 Elche v Real Betis

Real Betis

50 WIN

@2.30

Lose

-50

The promoted teams have had no joy on opening day in La Liga, and Elche have a particularly hard match against perennial European challengers Betis. Betis showed attacking threat and defensive stability last year. I think they will be too strong here.

20:00 Leeds v Everton

Draw

50 WIN

@3.30

Lose

-50

We saw at the weekend how teams who come up can be a threat this year with Sunderland's impressive second-half dismantling of West Ham. Leeds come here with a similar profile. A home match in front of a passionate crowd could be a recipe for success. However, if there is one thing Moyes is good at, it's pragmatism. His Everton side will be disciplined and hard to beat. I think the two may cancel each other out tonight.

15 August 2025

20:00 Liverpool v Bournemouth

Draw

50 WIN

@6.00

Lose

-50

Liverpool showed me enough vulnerability in their Charity Shield warm-up to suggest they may still be a bit underbaked this season. They've had a big churn, especially up front, and Bournemouth may be well-placed to capitalize. That said, Bournemouth have had their own issues with departures, but I feel like at such a well-run club, the manager will have been expecting these. As such, I think they might be able to nick a draw.

Draw & Yes (Result + BTTS)

Result and BTTS

50 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-50

Liverpool have just too much firepower to imagine Bournemouth keeping a clean sheet. Gakpo, Salah, and the arriving Wirtz and Ekitike just suggest goals will be scored. However, defensively, Palace showed they are still a work in progress with injuries and new full-backs, so I'll risk a score draw today at inviting odds.

29 July 2025

19:30 Barnet v Newport County

Barnet

50 WIN

@1.73

Lose

-50

It's the start of the English football season, and a preliminary round is needed due to the number of English sides in Europe. It feels a bit unfortunate for Newport to suffer the fate of an away tie against last year's successful Barnet, clear winners at the end of the National League. We've seen a multitude of sides come up and immediately do well. The likes of Wrexham, Notts County, Stockport, and Bromley all performed well at this level, and there's no reason to expect any different from Barnet. Home win.
