Return to the EPL

[quantumleap]

Fulham/Everton under 2.5 -144 (5dimes)
Everton 1, Fulham 0 +586 (exact score Pinnacle)

I stopped betting the EPL after mid-December. The dynamic of low scores changes during that time for some reason. However, I've checked Everton's recent record. They have returned to playing unders since the 1st of the year.

Everton has played under 2.5 in 9 out of their last 11 matches. I almost posted this bet last week when Everton traveled to West Ham but didn't because West Ham can score at home. That match resulted in a 2-2 draw.

This week Fulham travels to Goodison Park (I love English soccer stadium names) to meet Everton. Everton has not gone over 2.5 in their last 5 home matches. In fact, they've won by the exact score of 1-0 in 4 of those 5 matches.

On the other side of the pitch we have Fulham who has scored 12 goals in 14 away matches. Look for Everton to play excellent defense once more at home.

I didn't play on this match, but I had a feeling the under wasn't safe b/c Fulham just isn't trustable.

Yeah, Everton 3-0. They have been scoring once and playing defense the rest of the way in previous matches. Perhaps they thought they could have a chance to score more here. Who knows?

Thanks for the input. Perhaps a discussion before the match has ended would be more helpful to those who read here.

I see that Aston Villa has only given up 18 goals on the road. Perhaps I'll take this same bet next weekend. I'll continue to explore the unders for this team.

Final score was 3-1 Everton. When I looked at the score originally the match was at 3-0 in the 90th minute. Now I find that Fulham scored in the 86th minute on a penalty goal.

I posted at half time when it was 2-0 (still too late), it's really rare to get input from everyone as a whole.....atleast for soccer, it seems everyone has their own niche, I hardly ever play sides so unless it's a total I'm eliminated. I noticed you've been away, I also have been hesitant to pull the EPL trigger, look at today's games theirs a lot of goals being scored, seems teams have opened up a bit late, unpredictable.

Anyway, if I see you post a total play, I'll chime in some way

Sorry if I appeared to be rude, it wasn't my intent. I didn't see that you posted at halftime.

I'm almost thinking about betting overs now in the EPL with the exception being Everton. I think I'll take a look. Perhaps the teams have their play coordination better now.

would like to have some opinions on today s EPL.
i see today s game maybe affected by CL during week.
Arsenal as i stated in my Champ league plays during the week seems to go the liverpool way. they are still in europe, but have given up in the league IMO. Liverpool is the other way around...going against Manu for 2nd place is only goal for season remaining. Arsenal might even be tired from celebrating
It will be a close game, but i like Liverpool at pk,+0.5

I also like Charlton to win at home over Midd, which played in a big match on thursday and goes for the re-match to Roma on wednesday..could be a let-down spot. i mean they are the weaker team anyway it is just on top.

Liverpool + 200 has to be worth a unit as I see this as a toss up regardless of home field advantage.

Man Utd O 2.5 -120 - Watch for a goal feast here. Newcastle are on fire right now but Boumsong and the rest of that defense are the EPL's biggest joke. Not sure which way this game goes but watch the floodgates open if there is a goal in the first 15-20 mins.

Charlton at home for one unit also.
