I sent clubgowi subscribers two newsletters today, which is standard for a Sunday, containing six match/event previews.
Feeling generous , I have just sent two of these out in a free newsletter, so, if you are signed up to the free service, see box to the right of this post, you should already have a copy in you inbox.
Unfortunately Le Havre (see previous post) were unable to hold on to a 2-0 lead last night. Much better news this morning and before lunch, we are 4/4 for subscribers in J-League, with winners at odds of 2.35, 2.28, 2.22 and 2.08 (half ). This was extra pleasing, as there was a free five day trial of the full clubgowi service (circa ten newsletters), offered on the free email newsletter (see box to the right of this post) for the first 25 applicants, which started yesterday.
I have previewed three of tonight's Ligue 2 matches for subscribers (one below) and given stats for a fourth and also sent them notes about almost all of tomorrow morning's J-League fixtures. A massive weekend ahead for us and I am hoping to share one , maybe two more on here over the weekend.
France Ligue 2: ( written 09.30 Friday October 18)
We were four from six yesterday, including landing our only "very strong" (1.75 unit) bet of the week, at odds of 2.07, they were 3-0 up inside 53 minutes and as we backed them with a handicap start, there were few anxious moments. This was only the second "very strong" selection of October, the other also won (3-0) at odds of 1.95.
Norway were very disappointing yesterday and so was the injury time equaliser which Denmark condeded, as that cost us a solid profit on the day, as it was we lost half a unit, no damage done, but frustrating.
Norway are way down in 4th place in Group E, but are only two points off second spot and still have matters in their own hands, if they beat third placed Slovenia today and Iceland on Tuesday, they will be second.... simple. Things are often so much easier when they are cut and dry like that, drop points today and they are very likely to be eliminated. Of course, Slovenia have eveything to play for too, but have looked vunerable at home on occasion, like many teams in this group, with the three front contenders for the runner up spot having each lost two of their four home starts.
In addition to the three full match previews for subscribers yesterday, one of which you can read in the previous post ( Earthquakes won 1-0 BTW) , I wrote a few lines about just one other game.....
Rapids did us a big favour with that 5-1 demolition of Seattle Sounders on Saturday, ahead of which I wrote ..."You know that I am a Seattle "fan" and have tipped them up as likely Supporters Shield winners for many weeks and I have been on the money there, but I feel they might lose this evening. They have two games in hand of many teams and they might just be more focused on two big West Coast match ups over the next seven days against Vancouver and Portland.
Aside from the PSG bet today (see post below), clubgowi subscribers were sent a further six selections, we had to ride our luck in a couple , but went a perfect 7 from 7.....
1.5 units PSG -0.5 ball 2.07-2.10 asian line. WON 2-1 !
1.25 units Southampton -0.5 ball 2.10-2.15 general quote . WON 2-0 !
HT/FT double result of Portuguesa-Portuguesa really appeals at 3.50 -3.75 and I will take it for one unit. Led 1-0 HT and WON 3-0 !
Absolutely no love lost between these two clubs and this is far and away the hottest derby in French football. The hosts would love to win this, three points would take them up above the Parisians and into second place, but they just look a level below both PSG and Monaco and although most teams will come away pointless from Dortmund, the level and manner of the 3-0 midweek defeat and earlier home loss to Arsenal, is a clear indication of where they stand in the bigger European picture.
