Football Odds - This Weekend’s Betting Tips

Top Tip – Derby to beat Watford at 5/4

Patience is a virtue that football club chairmen rarely demonstrate. However if the board of Derby County are anything like as patient as that of Burton Albion, allowing Nigel Clough several seasons to bed in as the club’s manager could reap enormous dividends.

The son of one of football’s great figures, Clough is gradually stamping his authority at Pride Park and County have made an encouraging start to the season, sitting 12th, just three points off the play-off places. The Rams host high flying Watford this weekend.

Derby have won four of their last six Championship matches, including convincing wins over Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace and Preston in their last three home games. They have developed a knack of seeing off Championship sides in front of a large and enthusiastic Pride Park crowd in recent weeks, and whilst Watford are a better side than this trio, Derby can register another home triumph this weekend at a tasty 5/4

Aston Villa v Birmingham

Despite their 1-0 reverse at Sunderland last time out, Aston Villa fans must be pleased with the progress their team is making under new manager Gerard Houllier. A solid draw against Chelsea and some handy recent performances are set to see Villa challenging for a European place by the end of this campaign.

Villa host Birmingham City in this weekend’s second city derby. The Blues beat Blackpool last time out although they needed penalties to beat lowly Brentford in midweek and their form has been patchy all season. I expect Villa to win at 4/5.

Bolton v Liverpool

Liverpool secured a much needed win over Blackburn Rovers last time out which kept the wolves from Roy Hodgson’s door…at least temporarily. In any other season you’d back the Reds to see off Bolton Wanderers at 6/5 but this is no normal season for the once great club

Man Utd v Spurs Predictions - The king is dead, long live the king!

Posted by Vinay at 11:52am October 29th, 2010

Wayne Rooney’s recent antics have hardly endeared him to the Manchester United fans and, though Sir Alex Ferguson has apparently forgiven him, he may find the Old Trafford faithful less forgiving. Rooney will be absent for a few weeks yet, however, as will former England colleague Michael Owen. But the Mancunians already have a new hero in the shape of Javier Hernandez. 

‘Chicharito‘ was one of Mexico’s stars at this year’s World Cup and he’s taken to the Premier League like lime to a tequila. The 22-year-old netted twice as United won at Stoke last Saturday and came off the bench in midweek to score the winner against Wolves in the Carling Cup. Fears that he may be too fragile to stand up to the rigours of the English game appear unfounded and the striker has another opportunity to enhance his growing reputation as the Red Devils entertain Spurs this weekend. United remain unbeaten this season but their habit of conceding soft goals continues to haunt them and Ferguson’s men may yet regret their inability to kill teams off.

Tottenham go to Old Trafford determined to end a winless run at the Theatre Of Dreams that stretches back to when a Gary Lineker goal gave them a narrow victory in 1989. The signing of Rafael van der Vaart has certainly added a different dimension to Harry Redknapp’s team this season, it’s just a pity that they’ve been missing key players at times or their league position would have been more representative of their ability. They would, however, leapfrog United with a rare victory at Old Trafford and will be keen to exploit the in-form Gareth Bale down the right side of the United defence where the home side have looked most vulnerable this campaign


You would think that Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic would be happier up against Peter Crouch and Roman Pavlyuchenko than facing someone like Jermaine Defoe, however, and Dimitar Berbatov has enjoyed himself against his former team-mates at the other end of the field in the past. There should be goals to enjoy but I just can’t see Spurs outscoring United on home soil.

Prediction: Man to Win 3-1 @ 11/1

X Factor Betting - The Final Twelve

X Factor Betting Update

Following the addition of four wildcards, and the loss of four acts, normal business resumes on the X Factor this weekend as the familiar ‘final twelve’ battle it out to be crowned king, or queen, of brit pop!

FYD, Nicola Festa, Storm Lee and Diva Fever failed to convince viewers that they had The X Factor and all four now find themselves eliminated from the competition. Pre live-show favourite Matt Cardle still remains near the top of the X Factor betting (11/4) but it’s Simon Cowell’s boyband, One Direction (5/2), that leads the way, after many experts tipped them to secure that elusive record deal!

One lady who certainly has the X Factor is 50-year-old Irish woman Mary Byrne, who wowed audiences and was given a prolonged standing ovation in both her live show performances to date. The Tesco cashier has moved from an opening price of 25/1 into as low as 7/1! Her romantic interest, Brazilian stud Wagner, somehow still remains in the X Factor but with competition hotting up, the ex-lion tamer looks a safe bet to be the Next Elimination.

Despite her meltdown in front of Will I Am & Cheryl Cole, 16-year-old Cher Lloyd fully justified her top 3 pick, after she produced some funky moves and melodies during her opening two X Factor live performances. It remains to be seen whether or not she can handle her cool under immense pressure but the current odds of 9/1 look appealing! Cher’s friend (or is she her foe?) Katie Waissel endured the discomfort of a sing-off on the opening live show but her peserverance is admirable and she’s not without a shout at the huge odds of 33/1.

Under the radar so far is Liverpool resident and X Factor contestant Rebecca Ferguson (11/2), who has quietly gone about her business. It’s difficult to sum up her performances and at the current odds, she offers little value. One person who does stand out in the X Factor betting is the animated Aiden Grimshaw, who stunned X Factor viewers with his version of Mad World in week 1. Not surprisingly, it also turned out to be a major hit on YouTube! Aiden is 9/1 to be crowned the X Factor winner and that looks a great bet right now.

Prediction: Spartak Moscow v Chelsea

BACK SPARTAK TO STUN CHELSEA By Ben Linfoot

Chelsea return to the scene of their 2008 Champions League final defeat to Manchester United on Tuesday when they face Spartak Moscow at the Luzhniki Stadium.

And we're predicting more heartache for the Blues as the Russians look a decent bet at odds of 14/5.
Chelsea have to play on the FieldTurf surface this time, and they'll take to the plastic pitch without Didier Drogba who is too ill to travel to Moscow.
Though they managed well enough without him in their first two Champions League games (when he was suspended), this is arguably their toughest test in the group.

Spartak Moscow have won both of their opening games in Group F too, winning away at Marseille before brushing aside Zilina 3-0.

Chelsea have lost and drawn their last two games on the road in the Premier League, so they are vulnerable away from home at present.

Spartak to beat Chelsea @ 5/2

Everton v Liverpool Betting Tips

Posted by Vinay at 11:59am October 15th, 2010

Merseyside Derby Predictions

Turmoil just doesn’t seem a strong enough word to describe what’s going on at Liverpool at the moment. 

While court battles are fought in London and Texas, potential new owners are putting their head above the parapet and melting away just as quickly while, all the time, the football team stumble from one disaster to the next under a manager who has between nothing and £60million to spend on new players, depending on who you talk to. No wonder, therefore, that one of the most famous clubs in world football finds itself in the unfamiliar position of worrying about what the teams in the bottom three are doing rather than those chasing Champions League places.

Tom Hicks and George Gillett would argue otherwise but their tenure has undoubtedly overseen a downturn in Liverpool’s fortunes since the heady days of European triumph and defeat in this weekend’s Merseyside derby at Goodison Park would cap what has been a disastrous start to Roy Hodgson’s reign at Anfield. To be fair, much of what has been going on at Liverpool has been outside the influence of Hodgson, whose dream move from Fulham has turned into a nightmare. Financial instability has meant he has been unable to remould the club as he would have wished and Liverpool are still waiting for those players he has signed, Joe Cole and Christian Poulsen in particular, to find their best form. With Fernando Torres still misfiring and Dirk Kuyt, Everton’s nemesis in recent times, now sidelined, they are surely worth opposing for their trip across Stanley Park.

Like their near-neighbours, the Toffeemen have also made a slow start to the campaign and it’s not inconceivable both teams could find themselves in the bottom three by kick-off time. But, unlike Liverpool, David Moyes‘ side look to have begun to turn the corner. They have yet to win in front of their own fans but signed off before the international break with a draw at Fulham and a deserved 2-0 victory at Birmingham. 

They have already took points off Manchester United at Goodison and players and fans alike will view Liverpool’s visit as an opportunity to kick their old rivals when they are down. Phil Jagielka is expected to be fit after missing England’s game in midweek and Everton look a solid bet at 7/5 to take all three points, while Tim Cahill could be interesting in the first goalscorer market at 15/2.

Prediction: Everton to Win @ 6/4 with Bet365 

The XFactor - CHER CAN SHINE FOR CHERYL

The Insiders Betting Guide

The live stages of X Factor get under way this weekend but already this series has become one of the most unpredictable, controversial and chaotic of all time.

First we had the debacle of the judges' houses when Cheryl Cole inexplicably opted against selecting peoples' choice Gamu Nhengu, instead favouring a mini rapping version of herself as well as drama queen Katie Waissel despite watching both of them make a mess of their audition.

Cheryl, who is aiming for a unique hat-trick having been the winning mentor in 2008 and 2009, has subsequently taken a lot of criticism in the media and outraged fans across the internet, while Cher Lloyd and Katie have hardly come out of this smelling of roses either.

But then Gamu appeared to be handed a lifeline when the 'wildcard twist' was reported, prompting bookies to re-open betting on previously eliminated acts from the houses stage and thrust the Zimbabwe-born 18-year-old right back to the top of the market alongside Matt Cardle.

Surely Cheryl wouldn't make the same mistake again? 

Well, she probably won't even get the chance after the UK Border Agency confirmed that Gamu and her family, who arrived in Scotland five years ago, have been ordered to leave Britain voluntarily or face deportation following the rejection of their application to stay. 

Some bookies even took bets on whether Simon Cowell would meet with Prime Minister David Cameron, a self-confessed X Factor fan, and somehow get this ruling overturned - but can the music mogul really be that powerful? Anything seems possible at the moment.

Gamu is still as short as 5/1 and if she does end up back on the show then not only will she be one of the best singers with a huge support base but she'll also have a unique storyline compared to the other finalists.

However, given the circumstances it seems that Treyc Cohen - also a much more polished performer than Katie and Cher at the last audition - is likely to get the nod for Cheryl's wildcard, she shouldn't be viewed a no hoper.

But the 26-year-old, rejected at Simon's LA mansion last year, won't make it into our staking plan purely because this whole situation remains a bit of a lottery. As far as all the potential wild cards are concerned, it's perhaps best to adopt the wait and see policy before staking any money on them.

Let's now look at each category in turn, focusing on those definitely in the line-up.

The Girls - Cheryl Cole - 6/4 general

Rebecca Ferguson (7/2)Cher Lloyd (7/1)Katie Waissel (28/1)

Cheryl, who has reportedly been forced to call in a security firm this week after being hounded by death threats, did at least make one superb choice at the luxury country house in Ascot when selecting Rebecca Ferguson.

We believe the Liverpudlian single mother of two comfortably has the best voice out of all 12 currently selected acts - and the potential wild cards for that matter - while she also has one of the most likeable personalities.

Rebecca rose to prominence with a quite brilliant performance at boot camp as she stunned Simon, Louis Walsh and stand-in judge Nicole Scherzinger with an emotional version of Corinne Bailey Rae's Like A Star.

Whether the 24-year-old becomes a star in her own right remains to be seen but it's no surprise to see her second-favourite with most bookies (7/2) to be X Factor champion.

She first got the chance to sing in front of Cheryl at the Ascot manor but despite coming across shy and timid, she managed to hold it together and showcase her soulful vocals throughout a rendition of Owl City's hit Fireflies.

Rebecca's lack of self confidence isn't necessarily a negative - in previous years viewers have tended to warm to the more vulnerable individual acts such as former winners Leon Jackson, Leona Lewis and Joe McElderry.

In fact you wouldn't say any previous winner - also including Steve Brookstein, Shayne Ward and Alexandra Burke - ever came across cocky or over the top throughout their respective series.

Yes, Sharon Osbourne did accuse Steve of being arrogant during the dramatic series one final but the viewers didn't agree and if anything probably felt a bit sorry for him.

The same can't be said about Cher and Katie at this moment in time, even though they both broke down and cried during the final audition.

Katie is perceived to be fame-obsessed and comments such as "I want to be a star in music, film, fashion, arts, medicine, everything" won't win her fans.

Auditioning elaborate fake eyelashes as well as holding a silly designer umbrella would have put most judges off and then her terrible attempt at the classic song Smile should have been the final nail in her coffin.

Yet somehow Cheryl was impressed and kept her in the competition.

The 24-year-old is running the risk of becoming the pantomime villain of this series - if she isn't already - and for that reason we staying well clear.

Moving onto Cher, we certainly can't say she doesn't have talent. But the way the fragile 17-year-old badly struggled to deal with the pressure at judges' houses has led to concerns that she isn't mentally ready for the live stages.

Some have suggested her idol Cheryl should have done the responsible thing and told her to come back next year but doing that would possibly give another judge the chance to mentor her.

There were newspaper reports claiming Cher was on the brink of quitting but she hit back, declaring in the Sun: "There's no need to be worried about me. I'm tip top. My voice is back. I'm not a little girl anymore and I know what I'm doing."

Let's not forget how she became bookies' favourite in the first place, wowing judges with her version of Turn My Swag On and showing off a distinctive edge that really stands her out from the rest.

Her curious rap before launching into Coldplay's Vida la Vida at boot camp divided opinion somewhat but her quirky style will be a major talking point throughout the series and once the whole Gamu saga is forgotten, she has the potential to steal the show.

It's a shame the press have already shown intent to go after her with a string of unfavourable headlines although quotes such as "I want to be the ­female equivalent of Dappy in N-Dubz" (Star magazine) only strengthens the 'chav' tag.

That said the odds of 7/1 are really inflated in our opinion and although she doesn't fit into the mould of the traditional X Factor winner - like Rebecca does - maybe it's time the public go for someone different.

The Boys - Dannii Minogue - 2/1 general 

Matt Cardle (7/2)Aidan Grimshaw (9/1)Nicolo Festa (28/1)  

Considering Dannii was absent from all the initial auditions and also boot camp, she may consider herself rather lucky to be handed a traditionally strong category. There have been three 'boy' winners in the history of X Factor and she guided one of those - Leon Jackson - to glory back in 2007.

All the controversy surrounding the girls' category this week has deflected attention away from Dannii's bizarre selection of cocky Italian diva Nicolo Festa ahead of her other options including Marlon McKenzie and Paije Richardson, who we believe are both vocally superior and much more likeable.

In fact poor old Marlon, 27, suffered by the decision at boot camp to raise the 'overs' category to 28 from 25. If it had remained the same as every other series he surely would have made it to the live stages - although that's another issue entirely.

Dannii admittedly described Nicolo as "the biggest risk ever" but from another perspective one could argue it's quite a clever tactic, even if she doesn't realise it. Picking three similar type of acts can mean they steal votes from each other and subsequently have their support diluted - so this strategy could give her a better chance of keeping all three for the opening few weeks.

Nicolo will need to rely on his attitude and showmanship rather than his singing to attract enough fans to go far, but winning is surely several steps too far.

Aidan Grimshaw comes across as a more serious and intense version of Joe McElderry but despite having strong vocals, we doubt the nation will warm to him as much as they did the South Shields star.

When you look at the history of X Factor, no category has ever won two years in succession so you have to ask whether the public will want an alternative to yet another male solo artist in their late teens.

His acapella interpretation of Gold Digger in the first audition stages made the judges sit up and take notice and having maintained a high standard throughout the remainder of the selection process, it seemed a no brainer for Dannii to pick him in her final three.

The 18-year-old from Blackpool will no doubt be considered a dark horse but we reckon he'll find it hard to seize a lion's share of the vote.

Matt Cardle is currently the favourite with most firms - and a best of 7/2 - but at the same time has a kind of underdog air about him.

The 27-year-old ex-painter and decorator has an incrediblesoaring vocal range, as demonstrated by his stunningly pure performance of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face at boot camp and again in front of Dannii when he sang If I Were A Boy by Beyonce.

Matt is a regular, down-to-earth guy from Essex and with a voice like that you can understand why he got fed up with a succession of dead-end jobs and having 'no real direction'.

He might have been lazy and demotivated in the past but singing is clearly what he does best and this is the perfect opportunity to prove it.

We have no qualms about the short prices, but history suggests early favourites don't always have it their own way. Just look at Danyl Johnson last year for example.

Matt is already one of the most popular contestants on various fansites and polls across the internet but the X Factor is a musical marathon and we're yet to really cross the start line.

The Groups - Simon Cowell - 5/2

One Direction (7/2)Belle Amie (20/1)FYD (28/1)

The groups category is still searching for its first X Factor crown and there's a growing feeling that this could well be the year.

Simon Cowell will feel he's due a win having not tasted glory since Leona Lewis' triumph in 2006 and to give himself a better chance, he's put through the two acts purposefully manufactured at boot camp.
Some would argue One Direction and Belle Amie are merely made up of failed solo acts but this isn't strictly true.

For example, Liam Payne was easily in with a chance of reaching the final three in the boys category - let alone the judges house stage - so it's more than likely he was earmarked to spearhead a new group prior to his apparent rejection at boot camp.

They needed a talented frontman to make this plan, which has failed in previous years, more viable although it's fair to say Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zain Malik and Louis Tomlinson weren't quite good enough to fly out to see Dannii.

Even so Simon will have big plans for this 'relevant' quintet and we'd expect them to go far.

Belle Amie are made up of Esther Campbell, Rebecca Creighton, Sophia Wardman and Geneva Lane and despite having little time to prepare ahead of the audition at Simon's villa in Marbella, they did gel together well enough to earn a spot in his final three.

Girl bands do have a terrible record in X Factor and there isn't much evidence so far to suggest Belle Amie won't struggle to make an early impact.

Finally we come to FYD, who looked the most slick and well-rehearsed group at the final audition.

However, due to most of the focus in this category being on One Direction, FYD are available at huge prices to win the show while they're one of the favourites to be kicked off first.

It is always difficult for any act to get through the early weeks without the same kind of exposure and attention that the frontrunners enjoy but we believe this five-piece - made up of Ryan Lee Seager, Alex Murdoch, Jordan Gabriel, Matthew Newtion and Kalvin Lamey - can make enough of an impression to establish themselves in the competition.

While we're not expecting FYD to dramatically shoot to the top of the betting after the opening weekend, it could be worth taking a small each-way chance on them to emulate JLS' run to the final in 2008.

Although Simon is thought to favour his own creations, he spotted the group's promise in Spain during their performance of the Madcon hit Beggin' and later described them as the "dark horse in the contest."FYD also impressed with their creative harmonies and arrangement during versions of Plan B's She Said and Eliza Doolittle's Pack Up in the earlier audition rounds and even former winner Brookstein said he preferred them to One Direction.

However we must also add that Steve, writing in a blog on London24, thinks the "smart money" would be on the manufactured boyband - and he's even having a tenner on it himself!

We're opposing the series one champion's opinion though because FYD's odds are just too big to ignore at this stage. Especially when there's so little to choose between the groups in terms of talent.

The over-28s - Louis Walsh - 12/1

John Adeleye (20/1)Storm Lee (28/1)Mary Byrne (28/1)

It's easy to be dismissive of the oldies, especially after the judges house round at Adare Castle in Ireland was portrayed as a bit of a freak show.

Poor old Louis Walsh always seems to get lumbered with what's perceived to be the worst category each year, solely for comedy value, but he's now talked himself into being optimistic about his three acts.

Eccentric Scottish-American rocker Storm Lee, now sporting bright red hair, is essentially a Jon Bon Jovi/Bryan Adams wannabe and will polarise opinion similar to Jedward last year.

His over-confidence and belief that he's destined for great things will annoy some and make others laugh, but a cult following should see him survive for a few weeks at least.

Cowell has never been a fan of the 37-year-old from the first audition so it was almost inevitable Louis would send him through to spark another rivalry.

Tesco have got a lot of free advertising from Mary Byrne although it's highly unlikely she'll go back to work on the checkouts again.

The 50-year-old was instantly compared with Susan Boyle following her rousing rendition of I (Who Have Nothing) at her first audition in Dublin but she nearly ruined her chances of reaching the live stages when forgetting some of the words to Coldplay's Fix You in front of Louis and his sidekick Sharon.

Nevertheless she had too good a voice to reject while Louis was also drawn to her friendly personality and gutsy determination. This doesn't make her a pop star though.

Finally we have John Adeleye, who has virtually drifted into the live stages without anyone really noticing him.

The 30-year-old care worker was head and shoulders above the other singers in his category in Ireland and must surely have been Louis' easiest pick. 

Although some may dismiss him as just the best of a bad bunch, John's performance of Billionaire was pretty cool and we're backing him to be a real surprise package.

Admittedly we are concerned that John's calm and composed nature means he's flying under the radar at the moment and an early exit would appear to be a genuine risk.

But if he hangs on in there, he can be one of those acts that bloom as the weeks go on.
Winning X Factor is all about momentum towards the end of the series and not necessarily about popularity built up over the auditions.

According to the official X Factor statistics, last year's winner Joe only started topping the vote on a regular basis from show seven while runner-up Olly Murs also left it late before surging into the final.

In terms of John's vocal talents, he was good enough to win a MOBO award for Unsung Artist of the Year in 2003 when known as J'Nay.

He's also close friends with JLS, who are backing him for the title. Bandmember Oritse Williams told The Sun: "I am rooting for John. I know him from a while back. He taught me to sing actually."

JLS obviously have a huge fanbase as a result of their success on X Factor two years ago and their support for John via Twitter could well be a useful weapon in his favour.

Chelsea v Arsenal - Premier League Tips

Posted by Vinay at 10:56am October 1st, 2010

Having ended a relative mini-slump with victory over Marseilles in the Champions League on Tuesday, Chelsea will be in a better frame of mind for their potentially crucial Premier League clash with London rivals Arsenal at Stamford Bridge this weekend. 

After an explosive start to the new season, there may just have been a few seeds of doubt creeping into the mind of Blues’ fans following back-to-back defeats against Newcastle (in the Carling Cup) and Manchester City. Their first league defeat at Eastlands was all the more disappointing as Carlo Ancelotti’s men rarely troubled Joe Hart after scoring 21 times in their opening five games of the Premier League season. 

If truth be told, their performance against Marseilles still left a few questions unanswered, particularly in midfield where Chelsea have looked a little one-dimensional without Frank Lampard. The England international will be missing for a few weeks yet, but Didier Drogba is available again following his European suspension and any team selection problems Ancelotti may pale into insignifance alongside those of Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal triumphed against Partizan Belgrade in midweek but were missing both captain Cesc Fabregas and Thomas Vermaelen as well as long-term casualty Theo Walcott. Neither of the first-named are guaranteed to be fit to face Chelsea and though youngsters like Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbs have stepped up their game this season the Gunners, for all their free-flowing football, may yet be vulnerable in their games against the Premier League elite when not allowed time on the ball to weave their magic. 

Wenger also has to decide whether he keeps faith with Polish goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who saved a penalty against Belgrade but has made high-profile blunders in the past in key games. With Manuel Almunia also having a nightmare against West Brom last week, it’s not a straightforward decision. Like most other people, I enjoy watching Arsenal play but they still have a fragility that the better teams tend to exploit and I fear Chelsea will get all three points at Stamford Bridge (7/10). Given the Gunners’ likely lack of experience at the back again, the 13/2 about the home side winning by two goals could also be worth a second glance.

Predictions:

Chelsea to win @ 7/10

Chelsea to score in both halves @ 11/8

Premier League Football Tips

Posted by Nick at 10:44am September 30th, 2010

West Bromwich Albion’s 3-2 win over Arsenal at the Emirates was one of this season’s most surprising results to date. However, Roberto di Matteo’s side have been improving over recent matches and so perhaps it was a result waiting to happen. The arrival of Peter Odemwingie has added an extra dimension to the Baggies attack and the yo-yo club have a chance to record their fourth consecutive victory with a win over Bolton at the Hawthorns.

Bolton have also made a promising start to the campaign and drew 2-2 with Manchester Utd last time out. However, considering Albion have beaten Manchester City and Birmingham at home this season, the Evens on West Brom looks like great value. Prediction: West Brom to win @ Evs

Chelsea slumped to their first league defeat of the season last weekend against an organised Manchester City side but have the chance to bounce back with a victory over one of their main title rivals, Arsenal, this weekend. Arsenal have injury and defensive problems to overcome.Prediction Chelsea to win @ 7/10

Stoke City are on a four match unbeaten run and face Blackburn Rovers at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday. The Potters’ home record is excellent and Tony Pulis’ side are also coming into this match off the back of a good win at Newcastle last Sunday. Blackburn are once again tough competitors and difficult to beat, so this might not be a match for the faint-hearted. Prediction Stoke to win @5/4
