Teams to bet on this year

Quoted from Les Brechin

I've done my £2 on 6 homes at evens or better tonight. Have got 5 out of 6 the last twice so no doubt I'll probably get them all wrong by posting them on here.

Fulham to beat Wolves 13/10
Peterborough to beat Bury 6/4
Wigan to beat Millwall 5/4
Hartlepool to beat Bristol Rovers 11/5
Stevenage to beat Mansfield 6/4
Wycombe to beat Cambridge 21/20

Returns £424.35 if they all come in.

Most worried about Fulham and Hartlepool so they'll probably be the only 2 that come in.  

Well, 1 out of 6 wasn't that bad!  

2 off on the BTTS but had the dreaded 0-0 on the O2.5s. Getting close to a big win...hopefully.

The Angels are still 14/1 to win the American League and Houston are 10/1. LAA are now in the play-off spot ahead of Houston and have a game in hand. LAA have a series left in Texas but they are the form team and you'd expect them to win some of those games - if they sweep Texas they could even grab the title. Houston finish the season playing in Arizona under NL rules which seems bizarre, not sure how much that will hinder them. All in all LAA seem the best bet and I topped up this morning on both the American League and World Series. There's a slight chance the Yankees could stumble at the line and not get the wildcard spot which looked a certainty a few days ago, all of which helps the American West sides - my dream is that three of them make the final five as I have positions on all of them!

I walked into Ladbrokes this morning and put a fiver on Chelsea to get relegated at 2500/1.I don't expect them to get relegated but if they keep doing badly the odds will drop (they are already 500/1 with some other firms) and I can make money by backing other teams to go down or even laying Chelsea if the price falls substantially .

I can just see the opening game of The Championship next season. Burton Albion v Chelsea.

Big night tonight for anyone who took up my 20/1 I think it was on Texas to win the league. Last night's game was jaw dropping when the Angels came from 10-6 down to win 11-10 in the ninth. I've nearly equalised my bets so there's only about £70 difference between Texas winning and Houston winning the league (after an extra play-off to decide the division winner). I really hope though that Houston lose and the Angels win so Texas win the league and the Angels have a chance of making the post-season (my other tip) as I have far more riding on the Angels than anyone else once the post season begins. After last night's game you really get the feeling that an Angel is looking after the Angels!

Ladbrokes have slashed the odds on Chelsea to get relegated from 2500/1 which I got it at to 500/1.. I'll start laying once it gets to around 50/1, if it happens! Hopefully Sunderland will start to improve under a new manager.

yeeehah Rangers!

Shame the Angels missed out but I have positions on Houston, Texas and a small bet on the Cubs. I'll be putting a few quid on the Yankees for the wild card game against Houston to get back the money I have on Houston and stop me losing anything. The Yankees have been able to rest their best pitchers as they made the post season with a couple of games to spare while Houston went to the wire. The Yankees are going to be favourites but the Astros have been causing surprises all season (they were insane odds to win the league even when they were top after a couple of months - that's what got me started on all this). If you are not on board it might be worth putting a few quid on Houston to win either the American League or World Series as all the money is still going on the teams with the big payrolls. Favourites are always overbacked in any sport IMHO.

I can't remember who I placed the bet with on Rangers at 16/1. Anyone remember the bookie?

Absolute top drawer tipping Rob. Thanks.
