Yesterday's tips certainly could have gone worse, but they could also have gone a little better.
The day started fine when our tip on West Ham v Manchester Utd going over 2.5 goals came in easily at 5/6, we were certainly aided by the referee as his three penalty awards helped us no end. Just a quick heads up about this match. On twitter I advised backing Man Utd at half time as
VCBet had the United victory priced at 12/1 whilst others were as low as 6/1. If you are using twitter then please add
darrenprembet so you don't miss out, we often have in running tips available which due to timing we obviously cannot post on here.
Then it was over to the Hawthorns were our tip on both teams to score came in nicely as WBA defeated Liverpool 2-1, giving us another 5/6 winner. Unfortunately we fell at the last fence when our tip for over 2.5 goals in the Arsenal v Blackburn game came unstuck as the match ended goalless.
Our little cameo fact on Everton being the only team not to score a penalty in the Premier League this season came in useful mind, as Leighton Baines despatched one in the 83rd minute to secure a draw v Aston Villa.
So two out of three for Saturday, onwards and upwards as we look for more value today.
First up we have Fulham v Blackpool. Now not too many people will be over-excited about this match in all honesty, the highlight may well be the unveiling of the Wacko Jacko statue pre-match (don't get me started on that), but as most of you will know, Blackpool are a team full of goals. Out of 30 Premier League games this season they have failed to score in only 6 of them. They do have a soft defence to go with it though, with their goals against tally of 60 easily the worst in the Premier. Fulham are not exactly prolific scorers, joint 2nd lowest in the Premier, but facing Blackpool you have to fancy their chances of netting at least one, especially considering Blackpool have yet to keep a clean sheet in 2011.
Victor Chandler have 'both teams to score' priced at 5/6 which is worth a nibble at, even if only to maintain a decent interest in the televised fixture.
The 4pm kick off see's Manchester City face Sunderland. With Tottenham only managing a draw yesterday this is an ideal chance for City to stake a claim to that all important 4th spot and I cannot see past a City victory today. However the general price on offer is 1/2 so no real value is to be had in that.
Sunderland, who are without a win in six, have failed to net in their last three matches. However they do have Danny Wellbeck fit again to partner an in form Gyan and against a City team with only two clean sheets in their last six games, I can see them breaking their recent scoring drought.
Victor Chandler have the 'both teams to score' market priced at evens for this and I think that could be worth taking a chance on.
The 'both teams scoring' double today pays a best priced 2.67/1 at
Victor ChandlerA final pointer on the Man City v Sunderland game today.
Betfred have this match listed as a 'double & treble delight' game. This means if you correctly back the first goalscorer and he goes on to net a brace or a hat-trick, they will double/treble your first goalscorer odds.
BetFred are the only bookmaker offering this deal at the moment so if you like a first goalscorer bet it is certainly worth placing it with them. They had this deal running on yesterday's West Ham v Manchester United game and duly paid out double the odds on Mark Noble after his two penalties.

Lastly please head back here tomorrow, I have an interesting slant on the 'race to x corners' market which is proving popular lately. More details to come but I can tell you now a certain tactic has been tested out on this over the last month and it is showing a healthy profit.
