Default Football Coupon

I am into doing a football coupon every Saturday.
Does anyone have any info on teams to watch out for?

A few weeks ago I noticed a great bet in the lower Scottish Divisions.

Elgin (Scottish Division 3) the week before were bottom of the league playing the team at the top at home. They won 6-0 which was quite a shock.
The win never moved them up the table much but they were playing another lowly team away the following week-end and were still 2-1 to win the game.

I couldn't resist and they won 2-3
Their form has tailed of again since so I wouldn't reccomend backing them now.

I also though Everton, Blackburn and Liverpool were good bets last week-end and just missed out on the treble.

I think the two live games tomorrow will end in draws.
Arsenal v Man utd and Blackburn v Liverpool

Tomorrow though I think the best bet of the day is a single win on Queens Park Rangers at 6/5 against Hull.

I watched them last week away to Charlton and they were very impressive in a 1-0 win and also missed a penalty.
They changed their manager mid-week and you usually get a good responce from players trying to impress a new boss.

A few good points their Griff i will go along with the QPR sugestion but i think Man U will beat Arsenal this time they just seem to strong at the moment for me.

Liverpool should see off Blackburn to, they will be well fired up for it.

I usually do 5 aways every Saturday and today im losing my money on

Spurs to beat Maiddlesbrough

Leeds to beat Carlisle

Barnet to beat Bury

Hamilton to beat Queen of the South

Ayr to beat Berwick

All away wins

Thanks Jimmy,

Problem with starting off so well is keeping it up!!

There is a few games in Europe this week so I will have a look at that tomorrow.
I have been waiting for when Man Utd have won their group and decide to blood some young players.
I think they will get beat away from home if they do this after what happened in the Carling Cup against Coventry where they lost 3-0 at home.
Obviously doing the same against a Champions League side will be much tougher. I remember them doing it a few years ago against an Israeli side (Think it was Macabi Hiafa) and they lost 3-0
Im not sure but I think Yakubu played and scored a hatrick.

Anyway, that's for another day.

I was going to say to you how difficult that bet is to win with.
Bookies love bets like this.....I should know, I used to manage a betting Shop a few years ago and mark the coupons on a Monday morning. That type of bet rarely, if ever, wins.
I would suggest maybe a couple of away wins at most in any bet.

Tonights game isn't really worth betting on I would have thought.
Man City have won all their home games this season and have rarely let a goal in, however they lost 6-0 in there last premier game and I think Micah Richards is out injured. I'd imagine Sunderland will come for the point and have a dangerous striker in Kenwyn Jones so it's a disaster waiting to happen for big odds on punters.
You can't trust Sunderland either though to pull out a big game in front of the cameras so I'm steering well away from it.

I think i will take your advice from next sat, 2 aways and 4 homes or something like that. It could be a 0-0 tonight

There is a full set of League games tonight in the lower divisions as well as Champions League.
I looked through last night for a few hours and couldn't find a decent bet.

Im not having a bet but if I did I would do both Liverpool and Man Utd to both be winning at both half time and Full time in a treble with QPR to win again.

That pays around 9/2
