My Tips For Newcastle United V Man U: Round-Up
Every match I give myself 100 points to place a
few hypothetical bets on Newcastle and 100 points to place a few
hypothetical general football bets using the odds available from OLBG.com.
I then compare how the sets of bets performed and analyse whether it's
better to bet with your heart or your head.
Both my
sets of tips made a profit this week, but unfortunately not in the way I was
hoping. This is how things turned out…
Bets on Newcastle...
Full Time Result:
30 points on draw at
3.7 – LOSS
Things got
off to a terrible start with two goals conceded in the first fifteen minutes
when unfortunately Man U dominated possession.
After that we had a much better spell and the final statistics show that we actually ended the game with more shots and possession than Man U (Shots: Toon 13, Man U 12 - Possession: Toon 53%, Man U 47%). It's frustrating though, how on several occasions this
season it seems as if we have to go behind before we start playing well. Our cause wasn’t helped when referee Howard
Webb failed to spot a blatant first half penalty for some shirt
pulling in the box by Patrice Evra, and we also had a ‘goal’ not given
in the second half when the ball looked to have crossed the line, so the luck
wasn’t with us. Overall though, we need
to start playing well for the full ninety minutes rather than waiting until we
go behind before we come alive.
Half With
Most Goals:
35 points
on first half at 3.1 – WIN 109 points
My
prediction of an open start to the match came true but unfortunately not in the way
I was hoping.
