Sunday FA Cup picks

Hhhhmmm well Leeds didn't do me any favours yesterday by drawing with Arsenal and then Middlesbrough managed to disappoint. Oh well win some lose some.

Today the really big game will be the match up between Manchester United and Liverpool. I'm not buying that Dalglish will provide the turnaround even though it offers a ray of light to the Liverpool fans. My calls are pretty straight-forward this Sunday:

United to beat Liverpool
Chelsea to beat Ipswich
Manchester City to beat Leicester (although this one makes me nervous)
Spurs to beat Charlton

and then for good measure South Africa to beat India in the first T20 cricket fixture.

Don't forget - if you haven't opened an sports betting account you can open one at Sportingbet or Voltbet.com and be betting from as little as R5 a punt!.

Happy punting.

Saturday FA Cup picks

It is FA Cup weekened again and there is no shortage of excitement around the big Manchester United versus Liverpool game tomorrow. Personal opinion is Liverpool will get drilled but who knows, maybe they pull a rabbit out of the hat.

For today I've made the following picks:

Blackburn to beat QPR
Fulham to beat Peterborough
Everton to beat Scunthorpe
Arsenal to beat Leeds (no repeat of 2010 heroics methinks)
Aston Villa to be Sheffield United (although they sure as hell better than they played against Sunderland!)

Will post my Sunday picks later in the day.

Inter Milan, Espanyol and Real Madrid tonight

Inter Milan are in action tonight with Leonardo taking charge in a tricky fixture against Napoli.

Three bets which appeal to me tonight and I have taken them in a trixie combination:

• Inter Milan to beat Napoli
• Espanyol to beat Atletico Madrid
• Real Madrid to beat Levante

I have also doubled up with individual outright bets on Inter and Real Madrid.

English Premiership punts

Some big games tonight in the English Premiership and all eyes are going to be on the Arsenal versus Manchester City fixture.

In all honesty I have no idea how to call this fixture so I am steering clear of taking a punt on it.

I have split my bets over a Yankee combination of the following results:

Blackburn to beat Liverpool
Aston Villa to beat Sunderland
Newcastle to beat West Ham
Chelsea to beat Wolves

Was tempted to include Spurs to beat Everton but chickened out with Everton having home ground advantage...

R1500 risk free first soccer punt!

Sports betting is growing in popularity in South Africa with a number of new players coming into the market. One of the big challenges we have noted is that many would-be punters are reluctant to make that first step and actually open an account and make their first bet.

The team from Sportingbet have an interesting promotion on the go at the moment. If you open an account with them and make a losing first bet, they will refund you up to R1500 of your first bet. That's not a bad deal, especially if you can land a really good call at your first attempt.

You can punt from as little as R8 a bet and the interface is very user friendly.
