I've gone for 2 x doubles this weekend.
BURNLEY v Cardiff - Burnley started the season well with a 4-1 win away at Luton. They should be a force once again in the Championship. Cardiff suffered a defeat at home to Sunderland, and won't be wanting to play Burnley as they could find themselves near the bottom of a very early table.
SHEFFIELD UNITED v QPR - put last seasons problems behind them with a solid 2-0 win away at Preston ( who were fairly solid at home last season). They made a full 11 changes for the midweek cup game but still came out comfortable winners, and hopefully will continue the winning streak. QPR were beaten at home to West Brom on the opening day, and just like Cardiff, may not want to be facing a team relegated from the Premier League.
The double pays a best 1.7/1 ( just short of 7/4) with Hills.
--------------------
ARSENAL v Wolves - I'm taking Arsenal to get off to a flyer against Wolves, if they want to be champions they need to start the season off running.
NEWCASTLE v Southampton - Newcastle are progressing nicely under Eddie Howe, although many in the media expect it to falter. Not me ( I live with a Geordie), as I think that they can at least consolidate their 7th place finish last season. Southampton having just returned to the top flight via the play offs won't be looking forward to the longest journey they will make on the opening day of the season, and could be in for a busy afternoon.
The double pays a best 0.67/1 ( 4/6) again with Hills.
It is very early days in the season, but hopefully we can chip away and make some small gains.

Glad to see the Premier League finally back!
Premier League
Draws
The below games are priced up with draws as the outsiders in all three outcomes. I'm happy taking on the draws for matchday 1 and splitting even stakes across all draws 
Everton/Brighton draw - 3.55
Notts Forest/Bournemouth - 3.6
West Ham/Aston Villa - 3.75
Brentford/Crystal Palace - 3.6
1 draw from 4 yields a small loss with 2 or more draws showing a profit
Laying the favs
3 short priced favorites are playing on Saturday - Liverpool away to newly promoted Ipswich, Arsenal at home to Wolves and Newcastle at home to Southampton.
The favourites treble is 2.3 which feels shorter than the risk of 2 home and 1 away teams playing their 1st game of the season should be. 
I see value in spreading equal stakes laying all 3 of the favourites (Arsenal and Newcastle play at the same time which limits laying an effective treble on the exchanges)
Odds to lay on the exchanges at the time of placing bets were 
Liverpool 1.41 
Arsenal 1.23 
Newcastle 1.4 
1 fav not winning yields a small profit 
2 favs not winning fields a bigger profit and 3 favs failing to win yields the max profit.

4/5/6/7 folds
Will also place a small set of 4/5/6/7 folds of the above
Everton/Brighton draw - 3.55
Notts Forest/Bournemouth - 3.6
West Ham/Aston Villa - 3.75
Brentford/Crystal Palace - 3.6
Ipswich double chance - 3.25
Wolves double chance - 4.5
Southampton double chance - 3.25
The outlay for the small set for the above is 64 bets when combining 4/5/6/7 folds with the shortest priced 4 fold yielding 134/1
*bets were placed earlier in the week and stated odds above may have shifted since

Championship/League 1
3 games where the odds for the outright wins look big, I've backed the draw no bet siding with the draw as a saver
West Brom draw no bet at home to Leeds 3/2
Sheff Wed draw no bet away to Sunderland 1.6/1
Stockport draw no bet away to Blackpool 1.6/1
 Good luck everyone on your bets this week!

Traded out of Sheffield on sight of the lineups. 
 
11 changes from Saturday 

Not sure that I will be playing on the midweek EFL Cup games, some clubs tend to play the fringe players this early on. Pretty sure @CakeCakeCake that Chris Wilder (Sheff Utd) will be 'changing the team' that won at Preston last weekend. The squad is limited in depth and they are still trying to sign new players, this gives plenty of the academy kids a chance to get 1st team game time tonight. I won't be betting until I know the teams starting 11. The EFL Cup is not the Blades main priority.

Have had a double - pays 7/4 + (1.8/1).
DONCASTER v Accrington - Doncaster finished last season with a string of victories, propelling them from down near the bottom into the play offs, where they lost out. They should have some confidence after that, and have signed Billy Sharp who knows how to score goals despite getting on a bit now. Accrington look weak to me, and could struggle, especially after losing 3 of their top 4 scorers from last season.
SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY v Plymouth (Sunday) - Just like Doncaster, Wednesday started badly, but finished much better under their new manager who steered them to safety on the last day of the season. I don't think Wednesday will be up at the top, but look sure to do better than Plymouth, and the home advantage should get them off to a winning start.

I'm planning on posting some tips.
Here's the first one.
 
LEEDS FULL TIME  1.36
Portsmouth are fucking shit.

Playing tonight.
6.10 Muss - Invincible Annice - 9/2 generally ( has been bigger). A 6 runner Nursery, and Karl Burke's only runner on the card. He is in decent form (7wins, 12 placed, from 45 runners last 2 weeks). He also has a 26% SR at the course. Not the biggest fan of Nursery races so just small stakes for me.
6.45 Muss - Rock Melody - 5/1 Hills ( 9/2 elsewhere). A 2 x CD winner who didn't get the best of runs 10 days ago, so a small field should help with that. * Again small stakes as Paul Mulrennan usually rides (he is not at the track today).
8.05 Bath - Flying Secret - 5/2 365, Hills. Has become better handicapped ( down 10lbs in 6 runs), wears 1st time blinkers and drops back in trip. Trainer does well here and is a fair bet for me.
