July statistics

First month of my betting is finished, time to check results.
I had 16 bets in July - 8 winners, 7 losers and 1 push (stake returned).
Total staked - 105 units, returned - 123.9 units. 
Profit +18.9 units. Yield - 18%
Hope some of you took my picks and made few quid.
If unit is 10 euros/pounds - profit for a month 189 euros/pounds. Not bad at all.
I'm pleased with July results and hope to carry on in the same style.

Next week we'll have European Cups again. In July I wasn't very succesful with them, so I might take only one or two picks. 
Still we'll have some picks from Lithuanian football league.  
On Sunday big boys from Premierleague are starting they football season with The FA Community Shield game between big spenders from Manchester - United and City. Championships in other countries are starting as well. Plenty of football to choose from.
Also if I'll have enough time, I might write about one small football club and their loyal supporters.
Good luck and have easy Monday tomorrow:)

Football passion? Not in Bristol anyway

Great day yesterday. Three winning picks and one push. Nice profit. This is what I and my readers want to see every day. And today is lazy Sunday... We have one pick for today and it will be enough.
Let's leave betting aside for today and talk about football and their supporters.
Most of my mates are very interested in football culture. This post is for you:)


Please, take a look at this video. It's all about passion, commitment, loyalty, love. Moments from 0:55 till 1:00 are priceless. Beautiful.




As you may know I live in Bristol - beautiful english city. It's a great place to live, to go out with your friends, where are a lot of things to do. But something is wrong with Bristol football and their supporters...

Yesterday I had a chance to go to Ashton Gate, to watch Bristol City - West Bromwich Albion friendly game.


Me and my 3 mates were around stadium 1.5 hours before kick-off, pretty quiet. We are heading to closest pub called BS3 - signs on the entrance warn you - ''Home supporters only, proof required''. My new Fred Perry polo is just the right color - all red. We qualify for entry:)
South West is well known for it's cider, let's have some. 


Pub is quite busy, but not like on the real match day. We are going outside with our drinks, only few people pass by in black and white WBA shirts, rest of them are dressed in red and white.
After few pints we are ready to go. Stadium is just around the corner. Five minutes and we are inside. We ''enjoyed'' visiting the smallest football stadium toilet I've seen in my life. And I've seen probably 50 or more stadiums in my life in different countries. Architect must be proud of himself:)

Lets go back to stadium. Yes, I know it's only a friendly game, but...
They haven't seen their team for good two months, it's first home game since May. Crowd wasn't that bad - 7000. Even for their league games they gather 13000-15000, but atmosphere at the stadium was absolutely awful, total silence from the stands, not a single song or encouragement for their beloved team. People were just munching pies and drinking soft drinks, sometimes clapping hands after good tackle or shot. Jesus, it's football game, not theatre or some kind of exhibition!
Another matter which I would call disgrace - is total disrespect for their team, when people start leaving stands on 38th minute for another pie or on 85th to catch early bus home. Football game last 90minutes and not a minute less. Especially, when the only goal of the match was scored on 88th minute...
As I know beer is not allowed in English stadiums since 1985, because of well known violence. Just few days ago a lot of clubs signed petition against this law. Because all other sports are allowed to sell alcohol in stadiums, except football. Maybe this would help to bring some passion to Ashton Gate?
I saw one poster in the stadium - ''It has nothing to do with football'' and picture below with lads fighting outside pub. Another line below said - ''If you know someone involved in football fighting, please call 087... Reward may be given'' Haha, grass culture?:) Hardly can imagine such poster in Poland or Serbia:)
After final whistle announcer thanked all spectators (this is probably better word than supporters in that case) for: ''Wonderful support". What a joke.

I've been on the blue side of the city as well - sight is the same. I've watched Bristol Rovers and Exeter, there were few songs and something you would call a support, but still picture pretty grim. It's not the place you would go again. Especially having in mind pricing. It's not working class game anymore. Maybe that's why is so quiet and peacefull? Intelligent people can not let their emotions out?

Tickets for City friendly bought in advance cost just five quid and tenner on the gate on matchday, this is the price I would be ready to pay every week, to see West Ham, Cardiff City or Birmingham. But £27 is way too much for the cheapest ticket. Still, I have to look at the schedule and check when Hammers are coming to town. Would be interested to see if they are still alive.

Last season I attended game against Millwall. It was really good day out, £27 quid well spent. Millwall brought 2000 lads, loud support, singing all match. 


We'll see if West Ham can show something better. So far Bristol are out of their league in support and real football atmosphere.
It is place for nice night out, but not for football:)

Have a nice day all of you and please visit me again for picks and maybe some football thoughts. Cheers.

Green and white will celebrate in Dublin

31/07/2011 League of Ireland XI - Celtic
This is the game from Dublin Super Cup. 

League of Ireland XI - team of best players playing in Irish league. Team excludes players from Shamrock Rovers and St Patricks, who are playing in Europe - players who could improve this team. This team just met on Wednesday for training. And we have result - yesterday they were outplayed by second string Manchester City team 3-0. Manchester City team included S.W. Philips, Barry, A.Johnson and rest of the team were reserves. I watched highlights of the game, and the goals conceided by Irish team were just ridiculous, complete misunderstanding.

Celtic - they took the best team to Dublin. Manager Lennon said they are taking this tournament very serious and are always happy to play in Ireland. As you all know Celtic have massive group of support in this country and I have no doubts they will be well supported in this game and they will play like at home.
Celtic started Scottish Premierleague with a nice away win at Hibernian 2-0. 
Yesterday Celtic lost against Inter Milan 0-2. Italians scored two goals, got man sent off and spend second half defending. Celtic had their chances, but couldn't score.
Today I expect Celtic to use their chances and score at least couple of goals against Irish team. Odds are really good and I'll take slice of that.

7 units - Celtic -1AH@1.95 bet365

Good luck!


P.S In some bookies irish team might be called Airtricity XI.

Neymar? He's not that bad:)

Siauliai will continue good run


One more pick from Lithuanian A league. Game will be played today.

30/07/2011 Ekranas - Siauliai

Ekranas (1st), 13-4-0, goals 37:4(!!!), 43 points
Just have a look at 4 goals conceided in 17 games. Very strong defence in Lithuanian level.
They just have a game against Bate on Tuesday, match finished 0-0. 
Before this game, Ekranas couldn't use their three important defenders (one left club and signed with Israeli team, another injured and third was suspended) and one Ekranas player was sent off on 60th minute, but they still managed to keep clean sheet.

Siauliai (4th), 8-7-3, goals 20:15, 31 points
Last week I was betting on them against another team who competed in Eurocups and the pick was succesfull. Siauliai won the game against 3rd team in the league. And I expect them to give fight against Ekranas, which is already thinking about second leg game in Belarus against Bate.
Siauliai have 2 new players - one of them is Rimkevicius, quite good forward at this level, and another is russian midfield players from CSKA Moscow reserves (I don't know much about him).

I expect tight game. Siauliai played 9 games away this season, 3-5-1, goals 8:6. They are not easy to break down and they lost only one game.
With Ekranas future Champions league match in mind I believe Siauliai won't lose today, but +1AH is really good bet with good odds. Also I can't ignore under 2.5.

7 units - under 2.5@1.82 188bet
8 units - Siauliai +1AH@1.98 188bet (stake returned)

Good luck!

Man Utd vs Barcelona friendly

30/07/2011 Man Utd vs Barcelona
Friendly game will be played in USA, Washington on Saturday.

Main points why I decided to bet against Barcelona are:
1. United already spent two weeks in USA, played 4 games, easily won all of them, scored 18 goals (scored whoever wanted), conceided only 2. 
2. United started preparation for their season much earlier and their physical form should be much better, because English Premierleague starts in two weeks time.
3. Barca on Wednesday played last game in Europe, and probably will need more time to adapt to new time zone.
4. Messi, Mascherano, Milito, Dani Alves, Adriano just came back from Copa America and still haven't played on Wednesday.

It's only a friendly, but two best teams in the world will stand their ground. Still I'll keep my stakes low, but will give preference to United.

6 units - Man United +0.25@1.91 188bet

Good luck!

Bookies must be mad

This game will be played on Saturday, but I have to take it now. Looks like bwin are going mad giving such odds.

30/07/2011 FK Mazeikiai - FC Klaipeda
This is game between two teams from the bottom of Lithuanian football league.

FK Mazeikiai (8th), 5-8-5, goals 20-21, 23 points
Hosts released 6 players and their main striker Zigalov, who scored 8 goals and is second on league goalscorers list. A week ago they played useless Atlantas, who conceided 22 goals in last 5 games and scored nil. And Mazeikiai only managed to beat them 2-0 at home.
Overal they have 6 overs and 12 unders, from last 6 games - 4 unders and 2 overs.

FC Klaipeda (10th), 2-2-14, goals 14-41, 8 points
I wrote in previous post about them a week ago, when they played against Kaunas. I watched the game and expected game to finish as unders, but early goal, huge mistake from goalkeeper on waterflooded pitch and own goal from nowhere by Kaunas defender led to 2-1 score.
All I can say, this team can not score, you can see from total of 14 goals in 18 matches, but on second half of the season at least they started to defend better and in last 6 games they had 4 unders and 2 overs.

Two teams with scoring problems will meet on Saturday and I expect defenders to come on top against strikers. Especially when I saw the odds on unders, I can not leave this bet. Of course you never know how the game will flow, but I see big value in backing under 2.5@2.95!
Bwin also are giving under 3.5@1.8
bet365 under 2.5@2.50

8 units - under 2.5@2.95 bwin

Good luck!

93rd minute goal...

Sometimes 93rd minute goal, makes you very happy, but not today...
Watched second half of Ventspils - Crvena Zvezda game. I know Baltic football, I think it is really poor.
Compared to Crvena Zvezda, latvian team budget probably 5-10 times smaller, but it looked like on the pitch played equal teams. Second half was really quiet and last goal came from nowhere on 93rd minute.
Really dissapointed by this result. But life doesn't stop on one or two poor results.
Tomorrow is another day, and let's see if I will find something for the weekend:)

Low scoring game in Ventspils

Finish side disappointed yesterday - started game well, scored early goal, but couldn't keep positive result.
Today I have another bet involving team from Balkans - Crvena Zvezda.

28/07/2011 FK Ventspils - Crvena Zvezda
Latvians are constant participators in European Cups. Two years ago they even played in UEFA Cup groups, that is unusual for Baltic teams. They have some experience playing against bigger teams and they can compete only with strong defence.
In first round they managed to keep clean sheet in Belarus, even the opposition was much better team.

Crvena Zvezda only starting their new season - it will be their first official game. Before that, they only played some friendly games against very average teams, and 4 from 5 games finished as unders. Also they kept 5 clean sheets from 5.
I expect low scoring game. Can't see both teams attacking from the first minute and winners of this round should be decided in Belgrade.

7 units - under 2.5@2.01 pinnacle

Good luck!

HJK on fire

Glad I'm stayed away from Champions League on Tuesday, but today we have another 8 matches and one game stands out for me and this is match in Helsinki, Finland. Just a short preview to the game.

27/07/2011 HJK - Dynamo Zagreb
Home team is flying high in local championship, they are like visitors one level higher all the other teams in domestic league. In previous round they demolished champions of Wales scoring 13 goals! Without doubt welsh team is way below croatians, but 13 goals in two games is some result.
HJK rested main players in local league match.
Other advantages to hosts - they are in the middle of their season and artificial pitch.

I was betting against visitors in previous round in Azerbaijan, and it was good shout. So I'm going to repeat it again. Basically Dynamo have two different styles - at home they attack heavily and away they have one main aim - to defend first and only later think about going forward . They just starting football season, some players arrived few days before this game, so they need some time to gel.
Overall Dynamo looks better team having in mind they finances and players, but I think finnes have advantage on home ground and will try to use it playing offensive style game, before second leg in Zagreb.

6 units - HJK +0.25@1.75 pinnacle

Good luck!

Another under?

I had close look at eight Champions League games on Tuesday, but none of them looked good value or pretty confident bet.
And just was ready to press Shut down on my laptop then remembered about one game in Lithuanian league. The odds suprised me and I'm ready to take it. So, here we go...


26/07/2011 FK Tauras - VMFD Zalgiris
The game will be played on neutral ground in Gargzdai, because Tauras stadium is still under construction.

FK Tauras (9th), 4-7-6, 19 points, goal 19:19 (after 17 games).
Team finished they Eurotrip already. They were beaten by ADO Den Haag on Thursday 2-0. I watched the game, they had not a single chance to score, if you do not count unlucky ricochet. But overal they gave some fight against better team.
Tauras have few new players in attack, who joined the team just a week ago. One of them Jerkovic, who was released by Zalgiris a month ago.
Tauras is playing below expectations this season and after Euro exit I don't expect them to be on high spirits.
11 games from 17 in the league finished as unders.

VMFD Zalgiris (2nd), 11-4-2, 37 points, goals 29:7 (after 17 games).
Zalgiris is confidently sitting in 2nd position after Suduva lost on Sunday. Vilnius team just come back from training in Poland, were they played 3 friendly games. They lost 2 games - against Legia 0-2, against team from Israel Beer Sheva Hapoel 0-1 and beat Cypriot team Ermis 4-2 (the game was played with mostly reserve players).
Squad remains without changes. Zalgiris plays from defence, as you can see they conceided only 7 goals in 17 matches. But offence is not something special. The only game they destroyed they opponents was 8-1 victory against useless Atlantas, and it was in early May. So that's only 21 goal scored in 16 games! Team plays boring football and usually is happy with 1-0 score.
13 games from 17 in the league finished as unders!

I was really surprised to see such a good odds for another under. And I'm more than happy to take such a gift. Of course after the game we'll see if it was a gift or a trick by bookies, but I would take such odds anyday.

8 units - under 2.5@1.95 bwin

Good luck!

FC Midtjylland should be too strong for newcomers

25/07/2011 HB Koge - FC Midtjylland

This is game from Denmarks Superleague, round 2.
Hosts came back after one season outside of Superleague, but so far doesn't look they will be able to stay here longer than last time. First game they lost 0-3 against Horsens, not the strongest team in the league.
They squad is not big enough to complete in this league, plus one defender is suspended, there are doubts about other few players.

FCM lost first league match against Silkeborg 1-2, but they played really good and deserved the draw. Also they started their season earlier because of Europe League games against New Saints from Wales. They should be in better form and fitter than HB Koge. 8 goals in two matches against New Saints shows they ability to score goals and this is what I expect to see on Monday.
I'm taking FCM to win first match in the league .

7 units - FCM -0.5@1.72 188bet

Good luck!

Saturday, 23 July 2011

Another pick from Lithuanian League

24/07/2011 FK Siauliai - Suduva

FK Siauliai (4th), 7-7-3, 28 points
Home team started season being strong favorites to finish in 4th position. This is there they are now, just from 8th place they are separated only by 5 points. They lost some unexpected  points in last 5 games, but at home they are quite tough nut to crack.
Siauliai lost only one player in summer break, and are undefeated in last 6 games against todays opponent.

Suduva (3rd), 11-3-3, 36 points
Just few weeks ago Suduva released 3-4 experienced players. On Thursday they played Europe League game in Sweden and lost 0-3 against Elfsborg and finished they European performance. Usually teams after european cups have big problems concentrating on domestic games.

Today I expect home team to pick at least one point.

7 units - Siauliai +0.5@1.83 bet365

Good luck!

Lithuanian A League is back

I didn't had much luck in European Cups. Bets were carefully analized and I still think they were good bets. The bets I would take again. Just luck was not on my side. Oh well, I will leave Eurocups alone for a while and concentrate on Lithuanian football league. League which is not very popular, not very exciting, but the one I'm watching every round and know the best.
Lithuanian A League is back after 20 days break and 18th round starts on Friday in Klaipeda.

22/07/2011 FC Klaipeda - FBK Kaunas
FC Klaipeda (10th), 2-2-13, 8 points
Home team have quite big financial problems. They didn't brought any new players, they even released few. They played one friendly game against team from lower Latvian division, which finished 1-1.
As you can see from last 5 games results Klaipeda have some problems with attack, but they defence is quite good, especially having in mind that they played against Zalgiris, Ekranas and Suduva - Top3 teams in Lithuania.

Last 5 games:
Klaipeda 0-1 Dainava
Klaipeda 0-1 Zalgiris
Klaipeda 0-1 Ekranas
Suduva 2-1 Klaipeda
Klaipeda 1-0 Tauras

FBK Kaunas (12th), 1-5-11, 2 points (started with -6)

FBK Kaunas is famous Lithuanian team, which was relegated to 3rd division (because of owners and Lithuanian football federation war) but is back in top division in two years time, losing just one game from ~50. Sad thing, that just few days before start of new season owners did their tricks again and released all the experienced players and left only youngsters who played for reserves. All in all, Kaunas started season with -6 points, because of old financial debts and were really struggling in first part of the season.
Finally they managed to climb from negative points. And the mood in team is getting better and better. In break time they managed to bring back three experienced ex Kaunas players in all positions - goalkeeper Stonys, defender Cinikas and striker Razulis, all of them will definetely strenghten the team. Just yesterday rumours were spread that team will have new manager Pankratjevas, who last season took Zalgiris to 3rd position in league, but it's not official yet.
So basically Kaunas looks like better team on paper, but changes were made just few days ago, and I am not very confident about picking them as a winner in this match. 
Were are no news about any friendly games they played in summer break, but here are last 5 games in championship:

Kaunas 0-0 Mazeikiai
Kaunas 0-1 Ekranas
Kaunas 4-0 Atlantas
Dainava 1-0 Kaunas
Suduva 3-0 Kaunas

They scored 4 goals against Atlantas, which at the moment is laughing stock in the league, but overall goals come very hard for Kaunas. Defence are getting better - only 2 goals conceided in last 4 games, and new goalkeeper should make further improvement.
My main bet for this match is unders, as I do not expect teams today to be any better than they were before summer break. I always find Lithuanian teams being in lower part of the table to struggle then they have to create chances, not just to defend. 
Also I will take small bet on the draw.

6 units - under 2.5@1.95 bwin
2 units - draw@3.25 bwin

P.S. Not so many bookmakers are offering odds for Lithuanian football and usually they open markets just few days before the game. Unfortunately asian handicap before game is not available, but bet365 are offering live betting with streaming and AH.
Good luck!

Two picks for Tuesday

Here we have two picks from Champions League qualifiers on 19/07/2011.

First game takes place in Lithuania, Panevezys between Ekranas and Valletta.
First match in Malta finished 3-2 to Ekranas. They started the game in very high tempo, scored 3 goals in 35 minutes and later felt a little bit tired because of very high temperature in Malta, and conceided two goals, second one in the last minute from penalty spot.
Overall Ekranas was far superior Maltese champions and I do not expect they will have any problems to finish tie in they favour. It is not so often Lithuanian teams pass through to third round, and after win in first match they are really focused of finishing job at home.
Ekranas could play against winner of  BATE/Linfield tie in next round, which I would call one of the easier possible opponents. All the players are fit and ready to play.
Maltese team flew to Lithuania on Sunday, they do not have any injury problems too. 
Odds on home win are bigger than I expected and I will take Ekranas to win by two goals or more.

Second game will be played in Azerbaijan between Neftci and Dynamo Zagreb.
First match in Zagreb was won by Croatian champions 3-0, but it wasn't one way traffic. Yes, Zagreb was better team and full stadium with passionate supporters gave them a big lift. But in Azerbaijan I expect teams to swap places. Neftci have some quality players and they are not giving up yet. They manager even promised to go through to the next round.
Croatians are not so good playing away, in last two seasons they managed to draw with even weaker opponents like Piunik from Armenia and Sheriff from Moldova. 
They travelled to game without one of they main defenders argentinian Leandro Cufre.
I expect Neftci to attack from first minute as they have nothing to lose and expect them to win, but instead will take safer option - Neftci +0.5.

6 units Ekranas -1.5@2 paddypower
7 units Neftci +0.5@2 unibet

Good luck!

No chance for Tauras

14/07/2011 UEFA Europa League Qualifiers

Tauras (Lithuania) - ADO Den Haag (Holland)
Lithuanian team is playing second year in a row in Europa League. Last year they managed to beat Welsh Llanelli after extra time and in second round were destroyed by APOEL from Cyprus 0-3 and 1-3.
I think this year Tauras are even weaker. They managed to sign only players which couldn't find better team. Results talk for themselves - they are only in 9th position in Lithuanian league (before start of the season they aimed to be in top 5), managed to win only 4 games from 17. They form is really poor at the moment.
The game will be played in Kaunas (150km away), because local stadium is under construction. Tickets are very expensive, so I do not expect more than 500 lithuanians in the stadium.
On the other hand, Den Haag are not usual European cups participants and won't like to finish they show in Europe after first round. About 800 Dutch supporters are coming to Kaunas and their best friends from Legia Warsaw are on their way as well. So Den Haag will be playing like at home.
Main reason for this bet is massive class difference between Lithuanian and Dutch football. I predict easy win for Den Haag 2-0 or 3-0.

Valletta vs Ekranas


12/07/2011 Champions League second qualifying round.
Maltese champions Valletta easily won their championship, with 18 wins and 10 draws and haven't lost a single match.
They were one of the 4 teams which played in first qualifying round of Champions League. They had no problems with San Marino champions beating them away 3-0 and second game at home was only formality which finished 2-1 to Maltesers.
Today they will meet team from Lithuania, who are unbeaten in 17 games in national league. The season in Lithuania starts in April and Ekranas should be in form. They are cruising quite easily to next championship, but they main focus is success in Europe. The main strenght is defence - Dedura, Joksas, Gleveckas. All the players in defence line are experienced and played not once in Lithuanian national team. 8 last games in a row they kept clean sheet!
In attack I would mark out one player - Velička, ex-Hearts, Rangers player.
Ekranas is playing in European cups not the first time, but something is missing in their game.They lack creativity, they not gonna attack from the first minute and I am sure they will settle for the low scoring draw and try to finish the job at home. Having in mind their experienced defence and awaiting return leg I do not expect to see goal fest and odds are better than I expected.

7 units - under 2.5 goals@1.9 bet365
Good luck!

My betting strategy

Right...
Some my previews will be longer, some of them shorter. But I would like to tell you, that every pick I will publish here, I will put my money on. So every pick is considered with caution and attention to details - team news, form, play style, home and away form, injuries and etc. I won't be betting on the teams that I never heard of. I won't have any fixed matches. I bet only on teams and leagues I closely follow. Because I bet and expect to win, not to waste my money.
My main markets are asian handicap and overs/unders.
Generally you will see me putting 5-8 units from 10 on each bet. You very rarely see me betting 9 or 10 units, because 10 is a banker. And do we have bankers in sport? The answer is NO.
Some of you may ask, what is unit? Ok, let's start from beggining...

Every punter has his bank, which is put aside and is used only for betting. This is not your rent or mortgage money, not money for your gas or petrol. This is your betting bank.
Let's say punter can afford to put in his betting bank 500 or 1000 pounds/euros/whatever your currency is. On each bet punter should not put more than 5 percents of his bank. So in worst scenario he wouldn't throw away all his money in streak of 5-10 unlucky bets. And bad streaks happen even to best punters, so be disciplined and don't put half of your bank on single bet, however you are sure about it, cause surprises in sport are common thing.
So if your bank is 1000 pounds/euros, your 1 unit should be about 5 pounds/euros, 2 units - 10 pounds/euros and so on. Of course, you can equal 1 unit to 1 pound. It's up to you and your financial situation.
By the end of the day, it's only a chance to add some extra cash for your holidays, take out your missis for lovely meal, buy yourself nice pair of trainers or away trip to football following your team. You not gonna make millions, just have some better interests than offered in bank and buzz following football games on tv or refreshing livescore.com:)

I start my new betting year every July - when new Eurocups season begins. After 12 months I expect to have 100-150 units profit. 200 - would be great! Not enough? I bet, 98 percents of punters will take that offer any minute, because only 2 (yes, TWO) percent of punters are finishing year in green (profit). Rest of them usually are losing money.
So, let's not be greedy and be on green side.
Of course you have to take into consideration long term strategy - some months will be better, some worse. You can make 100 unit profit in one month, but that not means you will repeat next month.
I will update my stats by the end of each month, but the final score will be settled in the end of next June.

Usually I will post 5-7 picks per week and they will be on the blog not later than 1 hour before kick of.
Good luck!

Let the show begins



First of all hallo to everyone and let me introduce myself.
I'm casual lad in his thirties with big passion for football and football betting.
When I was seven years old, my dad took me with his mates to football stadium. Still remember that sunny day, packed stands with green and white Zalgiris Vilnius supporters and 300-400 in red and white - Spartak Moscow boys, who travelled 1000km to the game just to watch 90 minutes of football. Still remember the score - 5:2. Still remember passion, fight on the pitch for every ball and pleasure being the winner, singing from both sets of supporters. That was the day when I became addicted to football.
Some another 12 years later I found out that I can use my knowledge in football and make some extra cash - that's football betting.
I watch, read and live football every day.

Now I've been watching football for more than 25 years and have deep knowledge in European football.
So, as you already understood this blog will be about football and betting.
I will try to share my knowledge and experience with you. Let's hope you will find it useful, interesting and profitable.
