With the fantastic Beijing Olympics coming to a close last Sunday, there’s one question every England fan is asking themselves, no not the question…. ‘Why are can’t these overpaid England players reach the same height of success as the Team GB?’ But….. ‘How many minutes would Sami Hypia finish behind world record holder Usain Bolt in a 100 metre race? ‘ This would surely be an event to every sport fan would enjoy seeing!!
Betting tips- I still haven’t learnt my lesson with backing players in the ‘To Score’ market, so I will go for another, back Adebayor in the Arsenal v Newcastle match to score at anytime. He seems to love scoring against Newcastle, having scored in three games against the Geordies last season. Hopefully Wenger will play him and hopefully this bet will come off!! Paddy Power has him down as 11/10 (2.10) to score at anytime, click here to go to anytime scorer market.
Sunderland play Man City in a match which pits the two ex-United players Keane and Hughes against each other. City done the double over Sunderland last season winning both home and away matches. I think that the City players could be a little weary after Thursday’s extra time and with them having lost their last three away games, i will be backing Sunderland to win at odds of 2.3 on Betfair, or check the Paddy Power banner on the right for the latest match odds.
Some fun bets to have this weekend are for Kevin Davies who’s just penned a new contract with Bolton this week to score at anytime (Betfair quote him at 3.5). Also back the man at the centre of the this summer’s tapping up affair Gareth Barry to score against Liverpool, Betfair give pretty good odds of 6.2.
UPDATE: I’m feeling as sick as an England player who hasn’t eaten anything for 8 hours whilst having to do intensive training exercises. Once again a weekend of failed bets, I thought the fun bet backing Kevin Davies to score at anytime would be winner, only for the linesman to rule offside…twice. Wigan were one of the teams I was looking to bet on, unfortunately I didn’t act on my instinct.
