I can't decide between 3-2 City or a 2-2 draw for today's game.

[Baddar]

City will win today.

I'd say the other will be a draw, as I'm never confident when United go to Anfield. Staying away from betting on them, though.

[DavidMarrio]

Haven't won at Anfield since 2007 isn't it? Always a crap game to bet on as form goes out the window whenever we play United although the fact that scoring goals seems to be our problem I'd go with a 0-0 or United to win.

But I saw the odds for Skrtel to score first at 25/1 and put a quid on that and Skrtel 1-0 being 130/1 and thought why not. 3 quid also on a draw/Tottenham/Newcastle/City to win which will get me 46 quid back.

[Gazz]

Went for 2-2 draw with Yaya to score first. A frankly ridiculous 105/1.

[Gazz]

I also had Spurs/Draw/Newcastle @ 9/1ish so that made me a nice £18 profit.

[Baddar]

A fiver on Real to win to nil @ 13/10 returned £11.50. That's some of the £10 back that I lost last week.

£5 of that will go on Europe in the Ryder Cup (11/10), and the rest on some kind of accumulator at the weekend. Staying away from the CoC tonight and tomorrow, I think.

[Thrilla]

Little accy for the CoC tonight, Chelsea/Swansea/Everton/Man City/Sunderland/Southampton all to win.

[IAceI]

Feliciano Lopez & Agnieszka Radwanska/Caroline Wozniacki over 2.5 sets @ 2.2.

Bet for tomorrow morning, not seen Wozniacki this week but she's getting the job done albeit labouring to victories. I think she can take this one to a third set at least, but not sure she can win it - not bothered about the outcome. Will be at work for the match as well so won't see if it wins until I get back home in the evening, but relatively confident of it. Lopez should be a given - or as given as a tennis bet can be.

EDIT: Had another small bet on Stosur and Sharapova going the distance as well. Sharapova seems heavy favourite but has had some tougher matches than you'd expect. If Watson can take her to three sets then Stosur probably can too - worth the bet at least. EDIT: (Turns out Stosur has a wrist injury, slicing her backhands.. still think she can take her three)

Won just over 100 quid last night on Arsenal, Liverpool, norwich, spurs, At.Madrid and Baseless all to win, good profit from a fiver like

[Baddar]

Noted football giants, Baseless.

[DavidMarrio]

Fucking autocorrect on my phone Meant to say Basel

[DavidMarrio]

Edit: Double Post

[IAceI]

Two losses for me. Sharapova could have taken Stosur to a third and had set points to do so.

Lopez lost surprisingly, so that rendered my next bet pointless anyways, which also lost.

[DavidMarrio]

Fiver on Sunderland/Liverpool/Newcastle/Man.City to win at 13.77/1, should get £73.85 back

[Colly]

I might take you up on that and ruin it for both of us. Not hugely confident for Newcastle mind.

[Thrilla]

Everton, Huddersfield, Hull, Stevenage, Fleetwood, Exeter, Dunfermline and Rangers all to win, £2 on, £70+ back.

Will probably do some smaller picks as well.

[Thrilla]

West Ham and Mallorca double tonight, £1 on £11.56 back.

[Summers]

West Ham and Mallorca double tonight, £1 on £11.56 back.

Oof. Tempted to bang a fiver on that.

[Thrilla]

That's with PaddyPower, dunno what you'll get it elsewhere. Mallorca should be a lock but I can see Hammers/Rangers ending as a draw.

[Baddar]

Got more than double my money after Europe won the Ryder Cup last night, so I've put a fiver on a United, Chelsea and Juventus treble tomorrow night - returns around £17 I think.

I was going to do something tonight, but that one seems too close to call. QPR haven't made a great start, and have quite a few defensive injuries, but it'd be just typical for them to win.
