English Premier League for the weekend of 10/16

Aston Villa/Arsenal over 2.5 and 3 +102
Arsenal scored 1-0 against Man City and again in CL play so I laid off betting them last EPL game. They scored 4 goals in that game. Game on.

Bolton -1 -101 over Crystal Palace
I love these scenarios. CP just won their first match of the season. Bolton suffered a surprise defeat to a much weaker West Brom. CP cannot do this twice in a row, especially on the road. Bolton will have some proving to do at home here.

Everton -0.5 -125 over Southampton
Another proving scenario here as Everton suffered their first loss against Tottenham last match. Everton should win here at home against bottom-dweller Southampton.

Chelsea/Man City under 2 and 2.5 -111
Chelsea has given up only 1 goal in EPL play this season while only scoring 8 goals in 8 matches. Chelsea and the under is another pet project of mine. Don't let the "2 and 2.5" scare you away from this bet.

Charlton/Newcastle over 2.5 -101
Newcastle and the over is quickly becoming a 3rd pet project of mine. Newcastle has scored 16 goals in 8 matches while Charlton has given up a league-high 14 goals in 8.

Agreed!! I was on Tottenham @ Everton, and although Tottenham got the win, Everton was much the better side. They should win easy.

Another game I liked was Blackburn home (+150) v. Middlesbrough. Blackburn has 3 of their starters returning, & Middlesbrough could be in a letdown spot after earning the 1-1 draw @ Old Trafford vs. Man U

Thanks booze. I always enjoy your viewpoint. I was thinking that Bolton would be my strongest bet since they can score more. However, Everton is going against Southampton which is a team that does not score much either. I'm tempted to take the under 2 and 2.5 for that game.

Bolton/Crystal Palace over 2.5 -106
Bolton has been scoring well and CP has been giving up goals. I was thinking that this game might go 3-1 when it occurred to me to take the over.

Man City 1, Chelsea 0 +1059
(Each bet for 0.2 units)

Just thought I would do a fun prop bet here. Chelsea has allowed only 1 goal in 8 games while only scoring 8 goals total.

Aston Villa have big injury-problems and so they have big problems in the offense. And the coach has to play the team in a very defensive style against Arsenal London. Arsenal <st1:City><st1

lace>London</st1

lace></st1:City> have on of the best defenses in the English Premier League. I think It will be hard with the defensive formation to score against Arsenal London. <o

1st-day results:
Arsenal 3, Aston Villa 0 (win)
Bolton 1, Crystal Palace (draw on the spread, loss on the total)
Everton 1, Southampton 0 (win)
Man City 1, Chelsea 0 (win on spread, +1.12 on the prop)

3 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw +2.84

The results should read as follows:
Arsenal 3, AV 1
Bolton 1, CP 0
Everton1, Southampton 0
Man City 1, Chelsea 0

Sorry for any misunderstanding.

Good capping again Quantum; you didn't happen to grab any of the Man City 1- nil # did you?

My Blackburn pick was shot as soon as Tugay was sent off in the 30th, but still losing 4-0 is pretty poor.

Any opinion on Tottenham/Pompey this afternoon? I was kinda leaning towards the under 2.5, and maybe a small play on the draw.

I didn't bet on the Tottenham match. I was scared away by the under 2/2.5. :futbolero

I'll make a closer inspection on their next game as the match went 1-0.
