Newcastle United V Wigan Athletic (03/12/12)

My Tips For The Toon V Wigan

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.

My general football tips are on a run of six consecutive profitable weeks and have therefore been outperforming my Newcastle tips in recent weeks.  Here are my Toon tips for our match against Wigan... 

Match Result: 
20 points on Draw at 3.4
Our defeat against Stoke took our run to four consecutive league defeats, but on the positive side Wigan haven't fared much better recently with three defeats from their last four league games.  I've maybe been overly optimistic in recent weeks though, so I'm going to approach this one with a degree of caution and go for the draw at odds of 3.4.

Both Teams To Score:
40 points on Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.73
We've now conceded in our last 9 league matches and Wigan have a similarly poor record having conceded in 12 of their 14 league games this season.  A bet on both teams to score therefore seems worth a punt at odds of 1.73.

Half With Most Goals: 
20 points on 2nd Half at 2.0

Teams To Score In 2nd Half:
20 points on Both Teams To Score In 2nd Half at 3.25


My general football tips are on a run of six consecutive profitable weeks, so to see how my predictions compare, here are a few tips on some of the other games being played this weekend...
