EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 23: English Premier League
After seeing one of our three games chosen get postponed, we managed to eek out a small profit on the weekend. Despite losing to Wolves, Southampton comfortably won more corners and secured us one pick inside the opening 15 minutes. We made a small loss on the Newcastle United versus Watford game even with two... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 22: English Premier League
After a short break for the FA Cup third round, we're back at it with a full EPL schedule as well as some additional catch-up games in midweek. That's something we should expect more of with around 20 postponed games needing to be played at some point. We still have the threat of covid causing... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 21: English Premier League
Another tough matchweek where we nearly bagged a nice profit. It started well with Watford and West Ham bagging us a profit in the first half and if Emmanuel Dennis scored his one-on-one in the last minute, we would have doubled our money on the game. Then Tottenham was denied a second-half winner with the... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 20: English Premier League
It was a rough Boxing Day for us. With two of our three games postponed due to covid issues, we were left with one match and unfortunately, failed to bag a single pick. A Brentford second-half goal would've seen us make a profit but despite numerous chances, they failed to score and we took what... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 19: English Premier League
We reach the halfway point of the season (minus some postponements that need making up) and it's the perfect time to wish you all a Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it and a happy holiday period to anyone who doesn't. After last week's schedule was heavily impacted by covid postponements, we changed our usual... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 18: English Premier League
As if we needed reminding how fine the margins are in betting on soccer, we received a dose of it in midweek. With the Tottenham versus Leicester City game postponed, we were down to two games this week. We did hit a profit on the Crystal Palace versus Southampton game but one more corner in... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 17: English Premier League
A mixed bag for us last weekend. Friday saw us correctly predict the score and get all four picks correct as Brentford beat Watford. On Sunday, we failed to get any picks as Newcastle United was trounced 4-0 at Leicester City. The away team was on top until a questionable penalty allowed Leicester to lead... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 16: English Premier League
Never did a profitable week feel as hollow as last weekend. We bagged a small profit on Newcastle beating Burnley, a good profit on Aston Villa beating Leicester City and a decent profit on the parlays. But the Southampton versus Brighton game brought us heartbreak. Brighton's 98th (yes, 98th) minute equalizer denied us from having... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 15: English Premier League
The games keep coming thick and fast this time of year. The midweek games weren't kind to us as we made a small loss, but it stemmed the bleeding from the previous weeks. Newcastle's early red card didn't help with our Jonjo Shelvey prop but Norwich did avoid defeat and should've won it late which... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 14: English Premier League
Not the weekend we wanted as matchweek 13 was indeed unlucky for us. Leeds' goalless draw with Brighton saw us bag a healthy profit but earlier in the day, we had our first blank of the season with all five picks in the Wolves versus Norwich City game failing. A second-half Raul Jimenez goal would've... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 13: English Premier League
Last weekend was another case of "so near, yet so far". We bagged a profit in the Newcastle and Brentford game but would've had a huge game if Callum Wilson didn't have an effort cleared off the goalline. West Ham United let us down, losing 1-0 to Wolves. Jarrod Bowen had one effort on target,... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 12: English Premier League
We're back after the international break and hopefully, we'll have a turnaround in fortunes. The last matchweek was one of "if only's". We correctly predicted Norwich would pick up their first win of the season but the other match picks failed to cash. We managed to bag two picks in the Wolves and Crystal Palace... Read More
End of Season Report Card - Starting Pitchers
Back in late April, I published the early season report card. It was a look at how the top drafted starting pitchers began their seasons and what we could expect from them moving forward. At the All-Star break in July, we revisited them and updated their grades with a midseason report card. We also provided... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 11: English Premier League
Not quite the weekend we were hoping for. Despite favoring Burnley to beat Brentford (slightly), I didn't see them going 3-0 up and running out comfortable winners. Thankfully, the corners pick came in still and Bryan Mbeumo didn't play which voided one bet also. Meanwhile, Watford failed to build on their 5-2 win the week... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 10: English Premier League
We got back to winning ways last weekend. Although we correctly predicted the Burnley and Southampton game would be a draw, only the bookings bet came in. But Crystal Palace and Newcastle made it a break-even Saturday following their 1-1 draw in which both goals came in the second half and Newcastle received the most... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 9: English Premier League
Our winning streak came to an end last weekend. Sunday's game did see us break even with West Ham leading the corners market and the second half being the highest scoring. But the damage was done Saturday, with Wolves and Aston Villa producing the game of the weekend. That was after a dull first half... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 8: English Premier League
We're back following the international break and we're looking to make it six straight matchweeks of profit following a big game two weeks ago. We correctly picked Leeds to beat Watford on Saturday, although our prop bets all fell through. But Crystal Palace and Leicester City played out a 2-2 draw like we predicted and... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 7: English Premier League
Not quite the weekend we wanted but we scraped the smallest of profits despite only picking three winners from nine picks. Manchester United lost their first league game but did get a penalty and both teams hit the corners bet. Unfortunately, Bruno Fernandes missed the penalty to pick up another winner. Watford then had a... Read More
The Cut List - Time to Let Go? Week 27
We made it! The final week of the regular season is upon us and hopefully, most of you are either competing for a fantasy title or have secured one already. Those of you still battling it out have one last chance for glory so we'll continue to look at some players droppable and some on... Read More
EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 6: English Premier League
Another week of profit last weekend. We correctly predicted Watford would beat Norwich despite being the underdogs and that both teams would score. Unfortunately, Norwich picked up a 95th-minute yellow card which stopped us sweeping the picks on the game. Then Sunday saw Chelsea beat Tottenham while keeping a clean sheet, both of which we...

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 5: English Premier League
Another great weekend last time out saw us bag five of seven bets over the two games. Wolves beat Watford to bag us a nice +136 winner, although we whiffed on the total corners and our prop bet of there being a penalty. But we made up for it with a sweep of all our... Read More

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 4: English Premier League
Last matchweek was a good one. We just went with two games but managed to bag two winners from three picks in each game and net a 161% ROI. Leicester City beat Norwich City and Jamie Vardy scored as we expected, while Southampton and Newcastle United played out an exciting 2-2 encounter despite the game... Read More

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 3: English Premier League
Last weekend offered much-promised but ended in disappointment. After banking a profit on Saturday from Aston Vila beating Newcastle and Leeds United drawing with Everton, Manchester United failed to beat Southampton on Sunday so all that profit evaporated and we ended up breaking even. It could have been a whole heap better as Manchester United dominated... Read More

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 2: English Premier League
A bit of an inauspicious start to the season, going 2-for-6. Thankfully, the two winners were the big plays so the damage was minimized. Unfortunately for us, Arsenal had to do without their top-two strikers (both of whom were absent due to illness which wasn't known until a few hours before kick-off) and had to... Read More
