Fulham V Newcastle United (10/12/12)

My Tips For Fulham 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.

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

Match Result:
20 points on Newcastle at 4.0
Given that we've yet to record our first league away win of the season, you could argue that maybe I'm being a bit optimistic by going for a Toon win.  However, Fulham have been in very poor form recently, picking up a solitary point from their last four league games, so odds of 4.0 are enough to tempt me into a small bet on us to build on our result against Wigan with another victory.

Double Chance:
40 points on Newcastle or Draw at 1.8
Fulham have failed to win any of their last seven league matches so although admittedly our form hasn't been great recently, odds of 1.8 on us to keep Fulham's run going with a Toon victory or draw therefore seem like good value.

First Goalscorer:
15 points on Demba Ba at 8.0
Demba's two goals against Wigan made him joint top Premier League scorer with ten goals, so odds of 8.0 for him to be first goalscorer looks like a decent bet against a Fulham side who are struggling for goals at the moment.

Team Total Goals:
10 points on Fulham Not To Score at 4.5
Fulham have failed to score in their last three league matches.

To Win Either Half:
15 points on Newcastle at 2.25


My general football tips are on a run of seven 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...
