EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 26: English Premier League Part 2
If last weekend was heartbreaking, this weekend was devastating. Let's quickly look at the picks; West Brom and Brighton both to score (prediction 1-1). What happened? West Brom won 1-0, while Brighton missed two penalties and had a goal controversially ruled out, awarded, then disallowed again due to a refereeing error. Wolves to beat Newcastle […]

Last week was a goose egg. Southampton hit the woodwork to deny us the pick and a Chelsea goal would've seen as bag the pick and correct score. It was the same story for Sheffield United who needed a goal to bag us the pick and correct score. And West Brom was denied a clear […]

Last weekend saw us bag another winning matchweek with two wins from three picks. We almost nabbed a correct score too but Wolves late winner denied us the +525 bet. We've entered a period where European competitions have restarted meaning for some teams, they'll have midweek fixtures and additional travel. Some teams are having to […]

Another so-so matchweek last weekend as we had one winner, one loser and one void. The void came with Burnley drawing with Brighton as we took the draw no bet option for Burnley. They looked the more likely to win but failed to find a second goal. Southampton and Newcastle played out a cracker with […]
Jamie Steed 4 years agoEPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 23: English Premier League
A much better week for us with three winners out of our four picks plus a big +950 correct score winner. Sheffield United got us off to a flyer with their victory. Crystal Palace and Newcastle played out a 3-goal game when we had under 2.5. Then Everton bagged us the pick and correct score […]

Matchweek 21 was a bit of a disaster. Another week where VAR killed us, denying Southampton two goals in controversial fashion. Then Leicester and Leeds did play out a 3-1 as we predicted, just the wrong way around with Leeds taking the three points. Then the final game, we again correctly predicted the game would […]

The reverse fixtures of matchweek 13 didn't bring us a reversal of luck as we failed to bank a winner. Burnley scored three goals in a game for the first time this season to win a five-goal thriller against Aston Villa. We were one booking away from banking in the Manchester United v Sheffield United […]

Liverpool's first home league defeat in 68 games cost us a sweep and the parlay, but the first two picks of matchweek 19 (part 2) did net us profit for the slate. Matchweek 20 offers up a full 10-game midweek fixture list and the first set of games between sides who met earlier in the […]

Matchweek 19 rolls on after the weekend fixtures yielded us just one winner. Leeds failed to score at home to Brighton in a performance not aided by a pitch that looked like it had just hosted Coachella. And unfortunately, Tottenham decided this week was the week they'd actually look to score more than once in […]

Finding value is crucial on draft day and finding just one or two players in the mid to late rounds in drafts that provide better numbers than projected can give you a significant edge on the competition as you bid for fantasy glory. All too often, we look for the new shiny object in drafts […]
Jamie Steed 4 years agoEPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 19 Part 1: English Premier League
Matchweek 19 is the biggest and strangest matchweek of the season. It begins with a full ten game slate over the weekend which is now just nine games due to Aston Villa's match with Everton being postponed due to the former's Covid-19 outbreak. There are also five additional midweek games before Aston Villa are due […]
Jamie Steed 4 years agoEPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 18: English Premier League
The opening weekend of 2021 saw a mixed bag for us with one winner, one loser and one postponement. Everton looked pretty toothless despite being the better side against West Ham before succumbing to a late sucker punch to lose. Brighton and Wolves then played out an entertaining 3-3 draw, a game we predicted to […]
Jamie Steed 4 years agoEPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 17: English Premier League
The festive period started with a whimper, but we ended it with a bang by cashing in picks of +120 and +143 along with correct score picks of +575 and +750 in matchweek 16. We were one goal away from a +1470 parlay too but we can't grumble. This time of year is notoriously difficult […]

The EPL's hectic Christmas schedule is such that I'm having to write this before Matchweek 15 has been completed. As if teams playing two games in three days isn't difficult enough to predict, there could be some issues (such as injuries etc) that cause me to alter my thought process on a game. So I'll […]

Another weekend of nearly but not quite as Newcastle couldn't find a winner against the 10-men of Fulham and had to settle for a point. A Newcastle winner would have netted us a +164 pick and +850 correct score. Tottenham then wet the bed at home to Leicester (losing 2-0) before Aston Villa helped us […]
Jamie Steed 4 years agoEPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 14: English Premier League
The midweek slate was brutal with zero correct picks. It goes to show how unpredictable the EPL is and how fine the margins are we're working with. Newcastle was 15 minutes away from bagging us the pick, before capitulating to a 5-2 defeat. Brighton and Fulham did draw, sadly for us it was a boring […]

If you read last weekend's piece, you'll have seen I'm currently nursing a broken finger which is making typing more painful than it should be. Nevertheless, the process and research doesn't diminish, just the quantity of the write-up is a bit less. We still managed to bag two winners from our three picks at +131 […]

First things first; this will be a shortened piece this week. Still three picks, still three score predictions and still a parlay. But I'm currently nursing a broken finger so typing is painful and is something I need to limit right now (Doctor's orders). Anyway, last week was our best of the season with two […]

No sugar coating last week: it was brutal. Between Fulham and Leicester combining for 31 fouls and only two yellow cards, Everton and Leeds combining for 37 shots and just one goal, and Arsenal and Wolves combing for three goals in the first half, nothing went right. After three straight profitable weeks, it was a […]

For the third straight week, we bag two out of three correct picks to make a profit but are denied the big parlay payout by the odd goal. Chelsea and Newcastle couldn't find that elusive third goal between them with the former missing numerous good chances and the latter hitting the woodwork. All the more […]

Just when our luck appears to be turning, we get burned. Two weeks ago, we get the pick in game one correct with an injury-time winner and still needed Fulham to miss a 97th-minute penalty, which they duly did with one of the worst penalty kicks of all time. Game two pick banked as well, […]

Last weekend was heartbreaking. After starting off the weekend with a winner and correct score (+850), we bagged a game 2 winner and was one goal away from another correct score. The +924 parlay was on the brink of coming in as the under 12.5 corners came in for game 3 but Aston Villa only […]

Last weekend was a bit of a disaster, despite being one goal away in all three games from a sweep. Fulham lost 2-1, just needing to draw, Wolves conceded a late equalizer from questionable goalkeeping (although the under 3.5 goals did hit) and Brighton conceded a late equalizer (although the over 1.5 goals hit). Unfortunately, […]

Last weekend started with a bang; a correct pick and a correct score prediction (at +1150) in our first game. In the next two games, we were let down with corners. Sheffield United did avoid defeat as part of the single-game parlay but mustered just two corners to Fulham's five. Leicester also managed just two […]

Two weeks ago saw some of the craziest scorelines in Premier League history. Champions Liverpool shipped in seven goals against a team who survived relegation on the final day of last season, while Manchester United was busy having six stuck past them at home. For us, picking Leeds United vs Manchester City BTTS & over […]
