English FA Cup Betting Predictions

23rd January 2010

Tomorrow I head out on a 2 week Poker trip but I won't be lugging my laptop there. So I will update you guys when I get back. So before I leave, I hope to give you guys some good tips to help you win some money. FA Cup seems a straightforward place to make some money.

Preston vs Chelsea is a straightforward enough match. We know that Chelsea will field some of their rotation players and we also know that there is bound to be upsets in the FA Cup. However since Chelsea is out of the Carling Cup, they will not want to lose this match. Chelsea -1 1.75@BET365 is great value.

I still favor Arsenal after their recent results and a great comeback win against Bolton midweek. Arsenal away win at 1.83@BET365 is pretty juicy. However they might rest some key players with so many important games coming up against Villa, United and Chelsea.

The upset of the week might be Tottenham vs Leeds. Leeds beat Manchester United in superb fashion, and the Spurs haven't been firing lately. Leeds to win at 9.00@BET365 seems a long shot, but it is worth a punt. Or at least go with Leeds +1 3.25@BET365.

SUMMARY:

Preston vs Chelsea : Chelsea -1
Stoke vs Arsenal : Arsenal WIN
Tottenham vs Leeds : Leeds +1 or Leeds WIN

Good luck!

English Barclays Premier League Predictions

16th January 2010

After a short absence, I am back. Ready to share with you some of my winning tips. I hope you if you like my blog, you would support it by referring it to your friends or join some of my sponsored links. They are all FREE to join.

To start off, Stoke City vs Liverpool. Liverpool is in real trouble. Rafa Benitez is in real trouble. If Liverpool doesn't win this game, I am sure Rafa will be out. But how well will Rafa rally his troops I do not know. I don't know whether he still commands the respect he needs in the club. I am tempted to side with Stoke for this game, but I think Liverpool will pull off an unconvincing win. Now I must warn you, this is a long shot, but worth a shot if you are ahead in your punting. Liverpool -1 to DRAW (meaning Liverpool to win by exactly one goal) It pays a whopping 4.00@BET365.

Birmingham is the surprise team of the year. They had an amazing run in December and it should continue on when they face Portsmouth. Portsmouth players are on their way out, jumping from a sinking ship. I would back Birmingham to win outright. 2.60@BET365

Finally some Sunday soccer action. My favourite team, Arsenal should be back on track, with Fabregas possibly returning for this game against an lack lustre Bolton side. Arsenal to win 1.53@BET365

SUMMARY:
Stoke vs Liverpool : Liverpool -1 DRAW (win by exactly one goal)
Portsmouth vs Birmingham : Birmingham away WIN
Bolton vs Arsenal : Arsenal away WIN

Good luck!

Poker Site Review - Mansion Poker

January 9th

Happy New Year everyone. I thought I wrote a review of Mansion Poker. Recently I have had some really poor experiences at Mansion Poker and I would like to say I DO NOT RECOMMEND Mansion Poker for your online poker needs.

Software & Graphics (8): Software wise it is pretty good. The layout is simple, good filtering system, easy to review your previous hands.

Game traffic (6): They are lucky that they are on Ipoker, if not I am sure they would not survive. However the traffic is not 24 hours. There is a quiet window when the European players are in bed. Most of the good tourneys are all suited to the European time zones.

Bonus (3): They offer a high sign up bonus, however it is set at a ridiculous rate that unless you play way above the level your bank roll allows, it is impossible to clear. Otherwise you would have deposited a lot more and playing such high stakes you won't care about the few hundred in bonuses.

Extras (2): They do not have rakeback but have a points system which is extremely complicated. There are "earned points" and "unearned points", etc. Don't ask me, even I do not understand.

Support (7): The support team is quite responsive and very polite all the time. But the policies are the problem so nothing they can do about it.

Anyway, I had some bad experiences there with claiming my bonuses and it has been extremely frustrating without any resolution. I do not recommend this site. I have seen better. Good luck
