I have put a bet on each of the five main games today. It was only when I had finished doing them that I realised I may have accidently stumbled across a 'system'. I will report back on how successful or otherwise it turns out.

Having worked in the betting industry for a decade I don't tend to believe in any systems or patterns in gambling. Just like I don't believe in dead certs. A guy who gives you a tip for a dead cert is usually scruffily dressed and looks like he needs a decent meal. You never seem to get a dead cert tip from a guy in an expensive suit who drives a Ferrari he has bought with his accumulated winnings. The first dead cert I was ever given was by someone 'in the know' at Hall Green dogs. To be fair the dog was pissing the race....until it went lame coming round the last bend and limped in last. I also knew a guy who monitored Rangers and Celtics wins the season the title went to the last day and worked out that betting on both to win each week whilst avoiding the games they played each other was highly profitable, despite them both always being odds on to win. So he went big on backing them both each week the following season. Unfortunately one of them dropped loads of points that year and finished a distant second wiping out most of his profit.

Like those people advertisisng "Make cash by staying home, 2k a week, phone etc.." on the back of their 15 year old Corsa that has a differnet coloured bonnet to the rest of the car.

Cardiff 0-0 Bristol City at the moment. Hope Warnock's team doesn't win - horrible man.

Don't think Warnock is a horrible man and he is a very effective coach at this level.

Effective manager in the Championship he may well be, but he’s an absolutely snide, nasty wanker and always has been.

Have you read his autobiography? He's very hard to like.

They’re only six points behind Barca Wanderers now.

Late goal for Cardiff - they keep getting the results, not really faltering. Hope Bristol score somehow...

Plenty of games left, and we’ve still got to play them at Villa Park as well.
