Well, I’m happy, naturally. Man Utd and Athletic Bilbao both earned hard-fought victories for their respective vital 3 points. What irritated me was the let-down of Leyton Orient, although I suppose it’s not entirely unexpected, as they aren’t exactly the greatest side in the world. I hope Italy’s Serie A is a lot more predictable tomorrow after observing that Juventus lost at home tonight to ever-resilient Cagliari.

There’s going to be a couple of changes to the picks nowadays. I’m trying to accomodate different types of bets so I will now apply scorecast and handicap betting where I feel it’s necessary. In the long distant future I may break the site up somewhat so we have different sections for different types of bets, but for the time being it’ll all remain on here for you.

Saturday’s Picks

My tips:

For sides to back where the odds aren’t going to win you quite as much, see the list below:

Hercules, Real Madrid, Athletic Club de Bilbao
Bari, Empoli, Parma
Brescia, Paris Saint-Germain, Stade Rennais
Sporting Clube de Lisbon, AFC Ajax Amsterdam, Anderlecht
Mouscron, Schalke 04, Hertha BSC Berlin
Aberdeen, Aston Villa, Manchester United
Fulham, Cardiff City, Swansea City
Wolverhampton Wanderers, Leyton Orient, Leicester City
Oldham Athletic, Southend United, Stockport County
Leeds United, Bradford City, Exeter City
Bury, Darlington, Beitar Jerusalem

For the sides to back to get good odds with a higher risk factor, take a look at the list below:

Albacete, Real Murcia, SSC Napoli
Atalanta, AS Nancy-Lorraine, OGC Nice
Vitoria Guimaraes, Cercle Brugge, Zulte Waregem
Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Hearts, Stoke City
Preston North End, Birmingham City, Cheltenham Town
Peterborough United, Hapoel Tel-Aviv

Tip of the day, however, is Cheltenham Town to win at home to Milton Keynes Dons, who are on a worrying downward spiral. Some bookies are quoting 4/1 on this so give it some thought.
