rooster Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Of the premiership teams Van Nistelroy (Man U) is the top scorer with 18. It could be a good thing to look at backing him to be the first and last goalscorer in the matches to come. Van N has scored the first goal 5 times in Man Us 22 games this season and the last one 7 times. At average odds of 5.5 its a no brainer. If you had a point in every game for him to be the last scorer you would have bet 22 (if he played in every game) lost 15 and won 38.5 for a profit of 23.5. To be first scorer you would have bet 22 times, lost 17 and won 27.5 for a profit of 10.5. I think that is right. This weekend William Hill has Van Nistelroy at 5.5 to score first or last. Who knows how this will go but I'll try to keep a record. Rooster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidc Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Re: First/Last Goalscorer Interesting thought there Rooster. Have you checked to see which teams VN has scored first/last against; ie were they near the top middle or bottom of the league or in the middle of a good or bad run of from etc?

rooster Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Re: First/Last Goalscorer Hello David. I havent checked anything out. It was the thread on 1-0 home wins that got me thinking. I dont even know how many games VN has played in from the 22. I think tomorrow against Liverpool he might have trouble because it will be a tight game anyway. Lets see what happens.

rooster Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 Re: First/Last Goalscorer VN failed to score on Sunday against Liverpool. So 2 points down for the first outing. Rooster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted January 25, 2006 Author Share Posted January 25, 2006 Re: First/Last Goalscorer I see that VN was the first goalscorer in the cup match tonight. I havent checked his record in games outside the premiership this season but its good to see him scoring first. Rooster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooster Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Re: First/Last Goalscorer Thanks David. I think this method has legs. Its a matter of picking a striker or two and sticking with them for the season. Rooster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rooster Posted April 3, 2006 Author Share Posted April 3, 2006 Re: First/Last Goalscorer I made a mistake in my last update. VN was first and last goalscorer in the 1-0 win at West Ham. Another 4.5 points to the total. He scored the winner at the weekend but only played the last half hour so I won't include it as I didn't bet. I only bet if he starts the game.
