Those were for the league cup, not the EPL. Guess I could have posted them, but (as you can see in Dial and Aruk's threads) I posted my favorite play which was Sunderland (won 2-0).
I actually came a game away from hitting a pretty one. Five gamer, under in the Everton game screwed me. But had Sunderland, City game over, Southampton, Middlesborough and then the under in Everton which lost. 50 to win 2k.
EPL Record to date: 1-1 (-0.30)
Weekend Picks:
(Saturday) Sunderland -125
(Saturday) Stoke City -111
(Saturday) Liverpool -120
(Monday) Queens Park Rangers +105
Four sides this weekend, no totals stand out. Lean under in Sunderland and over in Fulham/City but no plays. Thinking all four of these teams are in for three points this weekend. GL!

Weekend plays:
Reading +165 (a bit early in the year to say this, but this is somewhat of a must win for Reading. If they don't want to be in a year long battle to avoid relegation, these are the types of games they have to win. They've had a tough schedule to start, haven't had much of a chance to show their true colors. They come out with a bang tomorrow, Brian McDermott will have his boys up for this very winable game against a Fulham team who struggle on the road.)
Reading pk EV (what can I say, I really like Reading tomorrow)
Stoke/Sunderland draw +215 (They're both drawing games in bunches. Sunderland solid team, very hard to beat them. But they also lack firepower to win big road games like this. Draw written all over it)
Tottenham -125 (Southampton can't defend and Tottenham are starting to click. Big game for Spurs after losing to Chelsea last week)
Man United/Chelsea under 2.5 +115 (whole world on the over... just when ppl think United's defense is a joke, that's when they shock everyone with a clean sheet)
Manchester United +185 (Chelsea just beat Tottenham and Arsenal on the road. You can bet your ass Sir Alex won't let them make it 3/3 against top table teams this early in the season. Refer to above pick as well, United will surprise some people on defense Sunday. Van Persie, Rooney, Welbeck will be clicking, 2-0 United final).
Good luck everyone, some great games coming up this weekend

- I lean to Stoke DNB and the Under in that match but have to agree if their was a draw to take it would be that match. I may drop 0.5 units on the draw with you.
- I capped the Man U vs. Chelsea and I was leaning to the Over 2.5. Staying away for the very same reason you mentioned.
- With you on the Reading angle as well. I hope you hit that one because I like them too.
BOL today RR, I hope you sweep the board.

Aruk... seems like we were on the same page today. Stoke/Sunderland had draw written all over it, that was a nice hit for us. Reading couldn't pull out the win but what an incredible game that was. Up 1-0, down 2-1, tied 2-2, down 3-2 in the 87th then tied 3-3 in the 90th. Incredible game, they needed a win though, shame for them but I'll take the + units this morning. I also had QPR +1.5 sort of a last minute play. Worked out well.
Dial... Wilshere looked good, Sagna even better. Not sure why Santos is still playing, he's awful. Credit to QPR, I almost feel gutted for them although I'm quite pleased with the 3 points. But QPR again played so well and again were undone by another selfish, undisciplined play. M'Bia truly is an idiot for getting that red, he won the free kick, leave it at that. Not sure why he saw a need to retaliate like that and I don't know where he got off arguing that call, it was a clear red. Anyways, good (but hardly convincing) three points for Arsenal. They really make it look difficult in front of goal don't they?

Weekend picks
Tottenham -1 -125 (They're not dropping points from this one if they want to keep pace with the elite for top 4 place... 2-0, 3-1 win)
West Ham +0.75 -105 (Allardyce doesn't let his teams lose two straight. Plus City have must win vs. Ajax in just three days from Saturday)
Liverpool -1 -120 (Normally don't bet on Liverpool, but they have a very strong history of winning at home to Newcastle... plus they should be pissed off about how the Meryside derby ended last week on the good goal they had called back)

QPR +315... Looks like a bit of a long shot, but Stoke stuttering at the moment, just one win on the season. QPR have yet to record a win but it's just a matter of time before they start clicking. Too many good players not too. Now that they're being counted out, it's the perfect time for them to pick up their first win of the season. If they can stay disciplined and keep 11 on the pitch, I like their odds to pull off the "upset". Upon closer review, QPR have lost four road games this year against Tottenham, Manchester City, West Brom and Arsenal, all top table teams. This is a game they know they can win. They won at Stoke last year also with a much worse team.
Everton/Sunderland under 2.5... Sunderland can't score goals. Never mind goals, they can barely get shots on the net. Fletcher is their only hope to score goals but even he can't save them from the funk they're about to drop into. Good thing for Sunderland, Martin O'neill's teams know how to defend. They'll make it tough on Everton and may even fancy their chances at a draw. I still like Everton to win here but it won't be easy. Taking Everton -1 will likely result in a push and I'm not willing to lay the -240 on an Everton win. The under is safe, Everton win 1-0.
Newcastle -110... Three wins out of five at home this season. Loss to Manchester City and tied Villa in a game they dominated. They've dropped all the way to tenth in the table, but a win can see them back into the top five depending on results elsewhere. And this is a game they need to win if they want to finish in a European spot this year. Plus, in a shootout I like their chances... speaking of a shootout...
Newcastle/West Ham over 2.5 -120... Last four meetings between the two teams at St. James Park have produced 17 goals. Enough said. Papiss Cisse is on the cusp of breaking out, I think he goes wild on Sunday putting on a show for the Newcastle faithful with another hat trick at St. James.
Chelsea -110... Liverpool have a good H2H record vs. Chelsea and I'd like their chances in this game if not for one reason: they have no one to play behind Suarez. Without a true attacking mid, they can't provide enough service to Suarez for him to keep scoring and salvaging points for them. Chelsea at the bridge, after a big win midweek, I like their chances to keep the train rolling as short price favs at home.
Let's ca$h!!

Forgot the line on Everton under... It's at -105 for me...
I'm adding a play tomorrow morning on:
Reading/Norwich City draw +215... Reading don't have very much quality. Progrebnyak is capable of scoring up front but they lack any sort of talent in the midfield to keep the ball and generate chances. Norwich unbeaten in last four in all competitions, they'll be playing with confidence. You can be sure taking any sort of points from this game will please manager Chris Hughton. At this point, Reading will probably be content with points from any game considering the form they're in. Scary thought if you support them, they will be hard pressed to avoid relegation barring some signings when the transfer window reopens in January.
