Burnley 2 Norwich 0
Massive 100% run continues at turf365.com
We preserved our 100% record this season by clocking up another two winning bets involving three matches. My own rating system produced just three matches with >90% confidence from the whole weekend card, so I advised all three as a single and a double. I’m happy doing this as my process relies just as much on identifying matches to reject as those to bet on. This is handy, especially when there’s a lot of information coming my way as was the case last week as we headed towards the weekend. Local contacts communicated to me that that the situation at Burnley wasn’t quite as bad as was being reported. This turned out to be right as our main pick rattled into the top corner! Elswhere, Peterborough and Dumbarton obliged in a home win double.
Lucky Goldstar Eleven may be worth following
The good news was that I was offered an Everton ticket at the last minute on Saturday morning and decided to take up the offer as I hadn’t been to Goodison all year. The bad news was I took the wife, which is extremely unusual for me to do. She literally yawned from the first whistle to the last - I kid you not - only stopping to comment on Fellaini’s haido. And Lescott’s. Never again.
I thought it was an entertaining game that could’ve gone either way. It kept me going anyway. Hairdos apart though, I thought that everton were completely ordinary and more than a shade lucky to win this one.
Fulham, though, struck me as being very well organised, with square pegs in square holes, in the main. Bullard was excellent in the first half, and I can see what Hodgeson is trying to do with him being the playmaker. Good dead-ball skills too. Zamora was well out of sorts compared to previous games, but there’s a fair bit of quality in the Lucky Goldstar Eleven. They really did have their chances, and Gera’s sitter looked bad at the ground but even worse on the telly! This is a team to follow when there’s a value bet available, I think.
