    6 by my reckoning. If you dutched them all at best bookies price it would pay around 3.45. If you dutched them all at current exchange price it would pay around 4.7.
    Rule 1 for these sort of bookies offers is to compare them to what you could get by simply taking the best available price(s). This one looks just short of being fair given that it falls between best bookie and exchange odds.
    Always assume a bet the bookies are pushing at you is poor value unless you do the “due diligence” and have a reason to think otherwise.

    Whilst Castleford should arguably tighten up somewhat after last week's Challenge Cup drubbing by Wigan, they could easily get tonked again with Wigan's star backs having another field day. The one bit of value for me was Jake Wardle at 20/21 with Bet 365.

    Yes, but I've just had a look around for tonight and there's nothing that interests me. There will inevitably be something tomorrow though.

    They're giving you special "celebrity" treatment because of your high profile role on here! 
    Not as daft an idea as it might sound if we subscribe to the occasionally mooted notion that "they" are watching us (I'm sure Kevin Pullein was only able to get lumpy bets on because of who he was while those who followed him struggled to get a fiver on his selections) but perhaps just good fortune in this instance. I too had only heard negative stuff other than your experience.

    After backing 6 players to score from outside the area in the first legs of last night's ties (only for 3 of them to score but from too close to the goal) I decided to revisit those players last night and found 5 at prices that appealed with Vitinha landing for PSG at 25/1. Forgive the after timing on that one but my results have been so bad of late on the straight anytime bets that I think it was my first profitable day since the weekend before last! 
    Going to need a lot of bets to judge the merits of that particular angle given the typical odds but, so far this season, that makes for 2 winners from 21 bets (the other being Lejuene for Vallecano, posted on here, at 50/1). Had a proper look at tonight's games and gone with these players:
    Haaland 28/1 and De Bruyne at 9/1
    Valverde 22/1 and Rodrygo at 66/1
    Kimmich 28/1, Goretzka 33/1 and Sane at 20/1
    Odegaard at 15/1 and Rice at 22/1
    One enough for a reasonable profit and a decent interest across both games.

    Could just be dumb luck! To be fair it’s more about trying to rank the players based on value in the price rather than pure chance of winning. It’s quite labour intensive so I doubt I’ll do it every week but I’ll at least try and do all the majors.

    Tella (Leverkusen) hat trick at 100/1 Lads
    Took the 9/4 anytime with Sky Bet (11/5 best Uni now; still looks big). He was 80/1 for the trick but boost took it to 100/1. Small bet on 1st at 8/1. 
    Leverkusen scorers the gift that keeps on giving, so many who can score and are often overpriced.

    Paredes (Roma) brace at 100/1 Uni
    Looks big at double digit odds to score (possible pen taker). I don't think he should be in triple digits to manage 2, unlikely as it may be.
