How do you come up with your predictions? I mean, you think Southampton are going to beat Spurs??? And since there is no bold on the Arsenal game does that mean you think it will be a draw? Plus do you actually bet on these games? You saving up money to go to Anfield?
P-Man
I actually do bet on some if not most of the games every week. TMZ is also into it. My predictions are based on player availability, form (home and away), previous meetings and motivation (aka the rumour mill). Most of the time, based on bookies' odds, I come out on top. I had a rare week last weekend when ALL my predictions went against the form book. So there ... I am human.
Here's a little more detail for you:
a. I am putting money on Chelsea doing Norwich for 6 or more total goals. At £100, I will stand to make £1200 for 6 and £2400 for seven.
b. Saints to beat Spurs @ £400 for a win of £4700
c. For Pompey v Gunners, the odds just opened and I haven put anything down yet. It will change by tomorrow so I'll bet then. But for the sake of convo, based on current odds, a goaless draw gets me 1:10 odds with a draw of any kind @ 1:3.65. Not very good so I prolly wont go for it unless it changes a lot by tomorrow.
Finally, I visit Anfield every year for Liverpool V Man Utd. Only missed three games since 1991 coz of the recession (twice) and SARS two years ago. :wink:
