Hi all,
Been on the betting world for some time now and landed in this forum weeks ago! I've been browsing here for weeks and decided to join!
I hope I will learn from all of you and we can share some tips!
Until then, stay safe!

There are a trio of attractive prospects for me in National League South.
Dartford  are odds against to win at Dulwich Hamlet, who's desperate form this season, saw them sack their manager of 13 years, Gavin Rose. , their victory over the struggling Cheshunt ended a run of six league defeats, whilst 3rd placed Dartford are living up to their billing as one of the promotion favourites.
Braintree,  one of the favourites for relegation before a ball was kicked have been the surprise package of the league so far, currently sitting 8th in the league, go to Dover, who continued their desperate form of last season, until they stopped the rot with a win & a draw in their last two games. Braintree's matches have been entertaining, and they've been playing expansive football home and away, winning more than they've lost are the outsiders in this match, and represent value for me.
Eastbourne  at odds-against have to be value to beat Weymouth, who have only picked up 2 points this season with a goal difference of -15. Mid-table Eastbourne, who are expected to be challenging for promotion in May, are my main bet of the day.

Leeds vs Chelsea
The first preview for the Premier League games on Sunday that I'm looking at is the clash between Leeds and Chelsea in a 2pm BST start from Elland Road. Both teams are unbeaten after their first two league games so there is a chance to extend that undefeated run here. Will we see the home team spring a shock result or will the away side continue their decent away form under Thomas Tuchel?
Leeds were a team I thought might struggle this season under Jesse Marsch but the American head coach has enjoyed an encouraging start to the season. A 2-1 win at home to Wolves in their opening league game was followed up by a chaotic 2-2 draw away to Southampton. The Whites will have been disappointed to give away a two goal in lead in that second game having come from behind to win in their first match. Leeds have only managed to keep 5 clean sheets in their last 41 Premier League games. It's ominous reading that Leeds also lost each of their 12 league games played against teams that finished in the top six last season. Rodrigo could be a shout for anytime scorer as he looks to become just the 4th player in Leeds history to score in each of their first 3 top flight appearances for the club after Arthur Hydes (1933/34), Mick Jones (1968/69), and Patrick Bamford (2020/21).
Chelsea have looked in solid form so far this season with a narrow 1-0 win away to Everton and then the dramatic 2-2 draw at home to Tottenham last weekend. It can be argued that the Blues probably haven't quite hit their stride yet but they remain unbeaten from their first two league games including playing a fellow Champions League qualification rival. Thomas Tuchel's side could keep clean sheets in their first two away league games of a season for the first time since 2005/06 when Jose Mourinho was manager. It's interesting to see that the last 9 goals scored by Chelsea have each been scored by different players showing their goal scoring threat across the pitch. Another interesting stat is that Raheem Sterling has finished on the winning team in 11 of the 12 away league matches where he scored.
There's no doubt that Chelsea come into this game as firm favourites and that statistic isn't made any better for Leeds fans by the fact that Leeds are without a win in the last 7 Premier League meetings. Their last victory against Chelsea in the league came at Elland Road in a 2-0 win back in 2002. These two teams were in completely different places back then! I think Chelsea should pull off a business-like win. Is the clean sheet on? I would always fancy backing that with Tuchel in charge for a Chelsea away game.

If you have a William Hill account, they are offering 'EPIC ODDS' of evens on a goal being scored in the Villa/Everton game tomorrow. According to Hills, the original/true odds were 1/16 (not convinced about that myself, but no matter).
Maximum stake is £10.
If you stick said tenner on it, then bet £2.50 on 'no goalscorer' @7-1, you are guaranteed a return of £20 for your £12.50 outlay. 

Also, there is of course an outside chance of getting a £40 return, if the game finishes 1-0 via an own goal.

Good luck everyone! 

Hi everyone! OK, so the time has come for us to get the 2022/23 Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League sign ups underway!
A couple of simple rules...
1. Sign up using the link above.
2. Confirm in a post in this thread your manager name and team name so we know who to contact for any prizes. Failure to do so will mean you are ineligible to win the prizes.
Speaking of the prizes, these will be confirmed in the coming weeks before the competition starts. There will be prizes for the best placed overall finishers in the classic league table with a prize structure as follows...
1. £100
2. £50
3. £20
We will also be looking to offer out monthly prizes so every month you will have an opportunity to win something. We will only be running a single classic league this year with no head-to-head paid entry league. This will hopefully keep it simpler, more enjoyable, and allow us to offer better prizes.
Does @Team Sagga have what it takes to retain his title from last season? Will @Sebastiannsimmy go one better and take the throne this season? Can we expect to see the likes of @jarvisla, @u1905068, and @DLL carry their success from the H2H league into the classic league this time around? Or will our winners be one of you?
Here is the link to get involved...

There seemed to be lots of draws and low scores this week so we had a bad week for winners with only 14.  A lovely half bank 16/1 treble gives@Gazza's United the bet of the week and gets him out of trouble from the bottom of his Division.   I managed another double winner at 11/1 to be next best! 
Biggest return goes to @mickyftm32 who is now in 2nd place overall with @andellio making it 6 winning weeks out of 7 to hold onto the top spot.   We now have 7 players who have more than tripled their bank. 
It's the final week of the season (and this football year) coming up and whilst we have clear leaders in many of the Divisions it all could still change and I'm expecting some big gambles.   Your final overall position will determine your Division when we start up again in the new season so even if you don't get into the prize positions this time there is something to aim for.
