English Premier League for the weekend of 12-18-04

[quantumleap]

Blackburn/Everton under 2.5 -142 (betCRIS)
Everton has been decidedly under the 2.5 mark as they have achieved this total in 12 of their last 14 matches.

Everton +150 over Blackburn
Everton/Blackburn draw +220 (both bet365)
Good team meets bad team. Good team doesn't score a lot so the draw is considered while still getting good odds for the win.

Saturday's result:

Blackburn 0, Everton 0

+0.70 on the under

+1.20 net on the draw/Everton win

+1.90 for the weekend

Thanks trav.

I'll try to throw something out for the Liverpool-Newcastle match even though it may just be a lean. I've had limited success betting on/against Liverpool. They seem to be streaky.

Thanks for the heads-up on the TV schedule.

Not to be a schill, I'm certainly not on their payroll, but if you go to www.foxsportsworld.com you can find their broadcat schedule. Again sorry if you're not supposed to post links, just wanted to give a heads up. Most halfway decent cable outfits carry this network, luckily.

I have foxsportsworld on my cable service. Whenever I look for their soccer schedule it always seems to be delayed games. We now have a match in Newcastle/Liverpool that we can watch live.

I've resolved to not bet the draw/win combination when the odds favor one team as they do here. It turns out not to be of a good value. It's the equivalent of something like -400 or -500 for the favorite not to lose.

Liverpool -110 over Newcastle (bet365)
This is just a lean and is not meant to be kept in my running total. Liverpool has 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss at home this year. Normally that would make for a solid bet. However, Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez has not yet decided whether he will put regular goalkeeper Chris Kirkland in net. Kirkland was out last week with a bad back.
