Hartlepool v Sutton To be fair to Hartlepool they have only conceded 11 goals so far this term, but only Braintree has scored fewer than them. They have scored just 7 times this season and their only goals in their last 7 games came in the 2-1 win at Boston on September 10th. They have lost all 4 games since and whilst they did have a higher xG than Forest Green last Saturday, the fact they haven't been able to convert that into a goal sums them up. I was quite impressed by Sutton when they featured in the live game against Forest Green at the end of August and I was very surprised that they then lost their next 2 games 3-0. They have won 3 of their following 4 games though and they drew the other one. In those 3 wins they scored 3 twice and 2 last week against Woking. I think they are the better team and whilst it might not be a goal fest I do think they should be clear favs to win. Woking v York I was put off opposing Woking against Sutton because they actually played fairly well against Eastleigh on the Tuesday night, but they went straight back to being poor again and York really should be winning this. York are one of our ante-post bets and clearly I'm very happy with the fact they are currently in 2nd. What does surprise me though is the fact they have been so strong in defence. They have conceded just 6 goals and only Braintree have scored against them in their last 7 games (ironically given as mentioned above Braintree have scored the least). Woking are not strong in front of goal and York should be odds on to win this in my opinion all things considered. Hampton & Richmond v Torquay Torquay had a very strong start to the season, but there have been signs that they aren't quite as good as that start suggests. They have only won one of their last 4 league games and they were well beaten by Bishops Cleeve in the FA Cup a side who play 2 levels below. Hampton are unbeaten in 4 league games and the draws have come against Tonbridge who are currently 3rd and Boreham Wood who are still favs for the title. They were very good against Enfield last week and whilst this should be a step-up in level of opponent, I think they are in better form at the moment so for them to be outsiders at home seems wrong to me. Blyth Spartans v Stockton Blyth are in a right mess and there is going to be a fans boycott for this game. They had threatened to improve when they changed the manager and they did win 2 league games back to back, which included a 3-0 win at Stockton. The problem is they have gone back to being rubbish again and Stockton have done well since that 3-0 defeat. They forced Chester to a replay in the FA Cup last week and then only lost 1-0. The fact they played on Tuesday is a slight negative, but they should have a good chance of getting revenge for that 3-0 defeat. Bowers & Pitsea v Real Bedford Granted the home side have beaten Dartford and last week they hammered Dulwich 4-1 in 2 of their last 3 games, but they are one of the lesser sides in the Isthmian Premier. Real Bedford have bitcoin money behind them and they are aiming to get into the Football League (yes I know we have heard that before), but they are clearly well funded and will be expecting promotion this season. I suspect there are very little between these two sides and I'd be certain Real Bedford will have the bigger budget. Clearly that won't mean they will win, but they have scored 21 and conceded just 3 in the league and they are overpriced to win this. Brentwood v Cray Wanderers To be fair to Cray they did have a great result in the FA Cup last week beating Hastings 3-0. Maybe they will be a cup side because in the league they haven't won since the opening day of the season and only have 4 points. Brentwood have only played 5 league games and are likely only an average Step 4 side, but they did force Leiston to a replay in the FA Cup and that suggests they have enough to trouble a Cray side who are surely going to have more than one eye on the FA Cup game next Saturday. Chasetown v Bromsgrove Sporting In the league it has been 5 losses and 1 win in their last 6 games for Bromsgrove so I spy a potential upset here. Again like Brentwood I suspect Chasetown will end the season as an average Step 4 side, but what they have done is draw at Hednesford in the league and they then won their in the previous round. Hednesford have a very good squad for this level and would be better than Bromsgrove. That suggests to me they are capable of winning this and are over priced to do so.

Alexander Shevchenko +210 to beat Francisco Cerundolo with William Hill Shevchenko is a hot and cold player, and specifically good on indoor courts with a powerful serve, and great speed around the courts. I like his talent but maybe their is a ceiling to it. This is a play against Cerundolo who I have not been impressed with. I bet against him in the Khachanov match and while the scoreline was close.. I was never very worried at all which is unusual for me. I don't think his fitness and serve is good at this moment. I do think he is the more talented player than both Khachanov and Shevchenko, but maybe he is going to rest for a huge season in the next 2 years with a possible semi-final in grandslams, and winning some high ranking tournaments. This is just my opinion, but he needs rehab and rest in the offseason.

Week 5 arrives as we head into a new month. Are things settling down at all or has it been a bit all over the place so far? From a TD scorer perspective there seems to be less obvious bets week on week, with week 1 being a huge outlier in terms of the number of apparently wrong prices. Selective same game doubles have done ok so far, will carry on in the same vein and see how things go. As ever, share your thoughts and bets with us here.

Went with 3 for this one Rodgers, Cole and kuchar. Dad has went hughes and svensson.

In the 4.45 ascot had the winner joint rated with faustus. Won at 22/1.but for some reason didn't back it or post it with the ratings.

Cards in this game I think, show yourselves angryman.

That was the idea behind it but there wasn't one single angryman between them lol

I've got Southampton to win at 26 (can't see it but it's a good price), Delap first scorer at 11.50 and Haaland to score at least three at 12, all with MGM. Good luck all.

Ffs wrong post meant for knockout cup

I've done something different along with my usual acca today. Gone for five games and done 10 x £2 trebles, just one treble almost triples my stake.

Few games looking at but will wait on Sunday as usually bet builders and need to see latest injury reports. But the scores are all over the place and even tds doesn't look like a pattern with players. Bfred have a bet 3 handicaps and get 1/3rd of it back as free bet, but it's a bit naff as the bet doesn't last 7 days so is gone midweek. Prefer boyle quarterback offer.

He did have a try for us lol Back tmoz for another go, 1 each from four games is much easier.

Good effort mate. 3 out of 4 angrymen read the script. Trai Hume let us both down. He needs to be more angry in future lol.

Nothing standing out for the opening game, with Robinson looking the "top rated" at 10/11. Lads yet to get their prices up and still time for a matched bet offer to materialise but no bets as things stand.

Vukic/Alcaraz @ 3.18 already wrote this up, and have now locked the bet in as I said.. I don't like the odds for Alcaraz so I prefer to try this way.

I just don't get how a horse can drift from 11/1 to 33/1 before it's even arrived on course and if you watch the replay he started last and the jockey was doing nothing ....just giving it some exercise at the back ....absolutely if ever I've seen a non trier ......yet no enquiry ....makes me sick ....I was watching the race thinking ....what's he doing 😯???
