This week’s UK football pools card has two void matches:

18 Reading v Sheff Utd

22 Wolves v Southampton

These are a guaranteed 2 points each and this shouldn’t be overlooked in your entry this week.  It’s extremely difficult to catch any type of draw at all, so take advantage of this one.  The extra points could just make the difference for you!

I am working on my forecasting for the weekend matches and will post some draw predictions for you on Friday 10th April.

Boro are in massive trouble - nothing like stating the obvious!  A tasty 2.10 was available on this one and I hope you were on it.

My customers certainly were!

It is looking bad for Boro and they are 2nd FAV to go down at 1.20.  Ony WBA are in a worse position and the bookies have them gone already at 1.01.

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.

Well, I’m gobsmacked. When I sent this tip out to customers, I admit to having felt a little nervous. The form is there for everyone to see, and the Baggies aren’t exactly firing on all cylinders. Against these indicators is the feeling that it’s just a matter of time before the bubble bursts and we all get a bit of stingy soap in our eyes. But I look for consistency, no matter if it’s in a surprise package or not. I can also feel the vibe from Hull right over here at the other end of the M62. So I took a deep breath and sent out the emails.

Ok, the defending was primary school level. A corner that drops in front of goal, 8 yards out is going to create a little interest. Then two tigers run through the wba defence on a free pass. All topped with a nice knock on by a baggies defender. It’s a long way from the Wigan game at the KC.

I’m glad I steered clear of Man U today. I like odds-on aways, and I always have a good long look at them. I just didn’t like the look of it today. What a goal by Fletch, though.

Turf365 now has 6 out of 6 this season and all I can say is that I’m ahead of where I thought I would be at this stage. I give myself a target of a 90% strike rate. This is combined with having no fear of draws and aways, or indeed, odds. These two elements together give the consistency that customers are looking for. I’ve worked on this principle profitably for years.
