Well, that was a nice start to our Sunday entertainment ! Catania were well and truly robbed by Juventus, the referee Dick Turpin and his highwaymen who were running the line. The hosts had a good goal ruled out in the 25th minute for offside/ handball ( because it was against Juve ?), which was first given by the referee and then disallowed wrongly, heated protests followed and the Catania owner and president Antonino Pulvirenti, was sent to the stands.Juve took the lead 12 minutes into the s [..]

THURSDAY AUGUST 16thThe timing was right with the Premier League post as the RVP transfer went through yesterday and 3.25 is now the top quote, in Brazil, Palmeiras won 1-0 and Flamengo again conceded at the "usual" time, which was perfect for anyone betting "in play" ( see foot of email).I have one more game in Brazil to discuss today, along with a few words about Championship and League 1 football, including a strong early bet for the weekend and a team of interest in League 2.BRAZIL SERI [..]

BATE Borisov won 2-0 to complete a solid "quiet" day ( see post below).The new UK domestic season is nearly upon us, the summer has been fantastic from a sporting and betting perspective and hopefully this will be an English football season to remember, but in terms of the daily email, it is just part of the service, albeit an important part.You can read an explanation of how the service works and also nine days worth of recent emails in full on this LINK , including one complete week.

Published on 2012-08-07 13:25:00

I thought this was a pretty uninteresting day, but found two matches to discuss in my daily notes, Mexico have already won 3-1 and BATE, who kick off shortly are trading at 1.82 , 29 clicks lower than the morning line and I sent my notes to subscribers YESTERDAY afternoon ( they can be traded out for a profit pre kick off !).

MONDAY UPDATE #2

Published on 2012-08-06 02:46:00

Almost of you received just one of those emails, to receive all three days as a subscriber to the daily notes,would have cost around seven euros ( £5.5 or $8.5 ), that is the best value you will find anywhere. If you bet on a regular basis, it is an incredible aid to winning regularly, especially if you have a brain and can also think for yourself. Most questions about the service can be answered on this link, otherwise email me on gowi8@btinternet.com .Good Luck.

Exciting day yesterday, not only did we see a German side lose a penalty shootout and what were Bayern playing at there ? Manuel Neuer took the third and OK, he scored, but if he missed what sort of mental state would he have been in to try and save the remaining attempts from the Blues, he was followed by a terrified looking Ivica Olic and worst was to come, when Bastian Schweinsteiger stepped up to take the 5th.All credit to him for volunteering, but this was a player, vice captain and leader [..]

Marseille's loss was tough to take, they were denied a very obvious penalty in the first minute, when Brandao was brought down clear on goal, I just do not understand why match officials think that any striker is going to "go down" under those circumstances, unless clipped. The incident came just 23 seconds after kickoff, yet somehow the referee was 40 metres behind play, you can see him just crossing the halfway line in the background ( not that I am bitter or anything !).OM later hit the [..]

LIGUE 1 : BREST -OLYMPIQUE MARSEILLETo say that Brest are draw specialists is a bit of an understatement, they have finished all square in 14 league starts already and I feel that lack of ambition and negative approach is likely to cost them dearly come the end of the season. It is all well and good to set up defensively against the best that Ligue 1 has to offer on the road, but to adopt the same policy at home to Dijon and on the road at Ajaccio was too much IMO.
