Liverpool V Newcastle United (04/11/12)

My Tips For Liverpool V The Toon

Every match I give myself 100 points to place a few hypothetical bets on Newcastle and 100 points to place a few general football bets using the odds available from SkyBet.com.  I then compare how the two sets of bets perform and analyse whether it's better to bet with your heart or your head.

Here are my predictions for the Liverpool match on Sunday...

Full Time Result:

10 points on Draw at 4.0

Despite Liverpool having only two league wins so far this season, SkyBet make them the odds on favourites at 1.57.  That means there's generous odds to be found for the draw and also for us to win.  With three away draws from our four away league games so far this season, the draw looks the safer bet at odds of 4.0.

Double Chance:
20 points on Newcastle or Draw at 2.25
Given that Liverpool have only won one of their five home league games so far this season, odds of 2.25 for us to win or draw seems like a decent bet to me.

Handicap Betting: 
20 points on Newcastle +2 at 1.44
The odds for this one are quite short, but with a two goal head start you would have to fancy our chances.

To Score In Ninety Minutes:
10 points on Demba Ba at 3.4
Demba Ba produced the goods for us against West Brom and I'm backing him to do the same on Sunday against Liverpool.

Both Teams To Score:
20 points on Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.73
We've conceded in each of our last four league games, so both teams to score is probably the safer option in this market.

Draw No Bet:
10 points on Newcastle at 4.0

To Win Either Half:
10 points on Newcastle at 2.88

And to see how my predictions compare, here are a few tips on some of the other games being played over the weekend...

Man U V Arsenal - Double Chance:
25 points on Arsenal or Draw at 2.0

Swansea V Chelsea - Half Time Result:
25 points on Chelsea at 2.25

Fulham V Everton - Full Time Result:
15 points on Draw at 3.4

Sunderland V Aston Villa:
15 points on Draw at 3.4

Charlton V Middlesboro - Full Time Result:
20 points on Middlesboro at 2.8


Last week both my sets of tips made a profit, so I'll check back after the weekend to see if I can continue my form.
