Another cricket bet, for tomorrow.


Recommended bets:


5pts Nottinghamshire @ 1.80 Canbet
1.73 Betdirect, Blue Square, Coral, Ladbrokes, Skybet, Stan James, Totalbet, Totesport, UK Betting, Victor Chander


As usual, the best 3 prices at the time of writing are quoted (unless otherwise stated). Links to all of these bookmakers can be found at the www.help2bet.net homepage. Any further questions or comments you may have regarding these bets can be e-mailed to support@help2bet.net . We will try our best to answer any queries before kick-off. For any new members, the staking plan uses a scale of 0-20 points, with 20 being a (rarely advised) maximum bet. We recommend a starting bank of around 200 points.


Nottinghamshire v Surrey (Cricket County Championship Division One)
If you take a look at Surrey's bowling averages this season in the County Championship, you will see the top four are Harbhajan Singh, Ormond, Akram and Clarke. The first three of those are not in the squad for this match, while Clarke is not fit enough to bowl. The next is in the list is Bicknell, who is not fully fit but plays anyway. Thorpe is also missing from the Surrey squad, so their team does not look particularly strong. Nottinghamshire are missing Fleming and Read, who are replaced by Younis Khan and Alleyne, who are not bad replacements. Nottinghamshire are fresh from a crushing win over Warwickshire, while Surrey have been conceding a lot of runs in most of their games recently. With so many of their better bowlers not playing here, it is really hard to see them winning, which makes it a good idea to oppose them here.


Summary: This match starts at approximately 11am UK time on Tuesday, so bets must be placed before then, although some bookmakers do suspend betting up to an hour before this time. This match is Draw No Bet (DNB), and will be treated as void if drawn. This is possible if there is some rain over the four days of the matches or if a lot of runs are scored. The other bookmakers seem to have synchronised their odds, so take the Canbet price as soon as you can before it disappears. This will be the only cricket bet for now, but there may be more bets at the end of play on each day, so please check your email regularly.

Best of luck with any bets you decide to place,

Good luck Zonker. Hope you can carry your success forward into the football season

[zonker84]

Thanks, me too Shame about the Hibs red card though Still could've won despite that, but never mind

That's life though, can't win them all. Will update these results later, and come back with any more bets for tomorrow

[zonker84]

OK, one bet for Sunday so far:


Recommended bets:


5pts Rangers -1 (handicap)* / Dundee @ 1.69 Blue Square
1.63 Bet365
1.52 Paddy Power


* = different bookmakers offer this bet in different ways, such as to win by at least 2 goals (Bet365) or -1 handicap with draw (Blue Square and Paddy Power). All mean the same thing of course.

Rangers v Livingston (Scottish Premier League)
Rangers look very good for this season, while Livingston have lost a few players from last season and do not look to have adequately replaced them. Rangers won the corresponding fixture 3-0 and 4-0 last season, and another easy win is on the cards here. For the purpose of this bet, Rangers need to win by 2 goals or more, which they should do.


Dundee v East Stirling (Scottish League Challenge Cup)
Dundee are not in great shape after relegation from the Scottish Premier League, but have managed to retain a fair few of their players from last season. East Stirling meanwhile have made a few changes, but look possibly even worse than last season. With Dundee available at odds higher than Peterhead or Gretna would have been against East Stirling last season, it is a straightforward bet that should win easily.


Summary: Not the most daring of bets for today, but one that should be successful. Two vastly superior teams should have no problems in overcoming their opposition. This is the final football bet for the weekend, but there could be another couple of bets tomorrow on various things so please check your email.

Good summer so far Zonker. Having a browse through your site and in 23 months you've had a positive yield in 18 of them

Keep it up

[zonker84]

Last season to be honest (well August really) wasn't great. I couldn't put the time in that I usually do because my girlfriend had just qualified as a teacher, but couldn't find a job she liked. She was staying with me for the year, and you don't like to spend too much time browsing online and watching sport in that situation when you have to keep her entertained I think my number of bets was down 60% on the first year.

Looking for my best year ever this time, because my girlfriend is sorted with a teaching job so I can spend as long as I want engrossed in sport. My season bets let me down last time (Barnsley throwing so many games away to finish below Doncaster cost me a massive win), so hopefully all will be much better time. Still made a fair profit last season, but I'm greedy and want more

[zonker84]

Next bets, more cricket for tomorrow


Recommended bets:


8pts Kent / Essex @ 2.50 Betdirect.net
2.45 Victor Chandler
2.39 Canbet

Kent v Glamorgan (Cricket County Championship Division One)
Glamorgan have lost all but one of their County Championship games this season, and it is a trend that looks like continuing here. Probably their best batsman this season, Ganguly, has left to play for India, while their other overseas player, Elliott, is injured. This leaves Glamorgan with very weak batting, with their bowling not being much better. It seems that they have accepted relegation, and are playing for next season. Kent have a very strong batting line-up, which makes them a hard team to beat. Their bowling is not great, but against Glamorgan, it seems very unlikely that they would lose, so they are worth taking on the Draw No Bet market.


Essex v Durham (Cricket County Championship Division Two)
Durham continue to exceed expectations in the County Championship, but will almost certainly be without Collingwood here, who has been their best player in the past few weeks. Durham have had a very good season, but it may start to turn against them here. Essex are missing a couple of players injured, but have a very strong team. Their team should beat Durham if they play to their potential, and it is hard to see why some bookmakers have Essex as outsiders for this game. The odds on Essex certainly seem too high.


Summary: These matches start at approximately 11am UK time on Wednesday, so bets must be placed before then, although some bookmakers do suspend betting up to an hour before this time. Both matches are Draw No Bet (DNB), and will be treated as void if drawn. This is possible if there is some rain over the four days of the matches or if the matches are dominated by the batsmen.

First set of bets tomorrow, there will be others on the way later on.

5pts Andrew Johnson – Top scorer in The Championship
@ 6.50 Coral, William Hill
6.00 Betdirect, Bet365, Ladbrokes, Skybet, Stan James



2.5pts each-way Boston + 14 points – League Two handicap
@ 19.00 Totesport



5pts Hearts – Scottish Premier without the Old Firm
@ 3.00 William Hill
2.88 Blue Square, Coral



2.5pts Nottingham Forest – League One outright
@ 6.50 Canbet
6.0 Betdirect, Betinternet, Blue Square, Centrebet, Premierbet, Skybet



2.5pts Nottingham Forest – League One promotion
@ 2.50 Blue Square, Premierbet, William Hill

For any new members, the staking plan uses a scale of 0-20 points, with 20 being a (rarely advised) maximum bet. We recommend a starting bank of around 200 points.


The Championship 2005/06
Andrew Johnson recently signed a new contract at Crystal Palace, which should ensure he remains with them for the whole of this season. There is a scenario where he could be sold if Crystal Palace are doing badly in January, but that looks unlikely as they look as if they will challenge for promotion. Their team is based around Johnson scoring. He takes all of the penalties, of which there were a lot in the Premier League last season, and quite simply he is the best striker in this division. Obviously a bet like this relies on Johnson not picking up a serious injury, but that is beyond our control. At the available odds, Johnson is a great bet in this market.


League One 2005/06
Nottingham Forest are favourites for this division and rightly so. Favourites in this division rarely succeed, but this season can be the exception. Nottingham Forest have signed some superb defenders, who should make them very hard to beat. They also have more money to spend following the sale of Reid and Dawson last season, so more signings could possibly be made. Nottingham Forest have the strongest squad on paper by far, but their problem last season was a bad attitude at times. Manager Gary Megson should have been able to sort that out, so Forest must be taken to do well.


League Two 2005/06
Boston have made several shrewd signings for this season, which gives them every chance of finishing near the top of the league this season. The good outright odds have dropped a little over the summer, but the handicap market offered by Totesport looks a superb way to support Boston. They get a 14 point start over Northampton, and several points over all of the other leading contenders. The each-way terms also pay one quarter of the odds for the first 4 places, not the first 3 as is often the case. This bet is very good, as Boston could even finish in the top three, regardless of any handicap. William Hill also offer Boston +14 on their handicap, but do not bet on it as some of the other teams also receive bigger handicaps than with Totesport.


Scottish Premier League 2005/06
Hearts have signed some good players in the past few weeks, and started the season very impressively last weekend. With doubts over most of the other teams in the SPL, the 3.00 on offer for Hearts to finish top of the non-Old Firm teams, is a very good bet. They look like possibly signing more very good players, and look like getting stronger as the season goes on.


Summary: Most of these odds will not drop overnight, so this was probably a good time to send this email, to allow everyone who wants to take these bets to hopefully get on at the prices quoted. Another email will follow early tomorrow with any more football bets for the weekend.

The cricket bet placed the other day looks good, with Kent having already won and Essex in a strong position. For anyone wanting to take the guaranteed profit now, Stan James are offering Durham (against Essex) at odds of 3.50 . Essex look very likely to win anyway, so covering the bet in this way will probably just end up reducing the profits, but there is always a chance that Essex could lose.

Best of luck with any bets you decide to place,

Just to confirm, no further bets for today. Couldn't find any football matches that I had a strong enough opinion about to take a bet on.

Essex are 220/4 at lunch, needing 79 more runs to win that bet

[zonker84]

Essex won (just), so the latest results:


Bets: 15 (7 won, 5 lost, 3 void) (8 other bets pending)
Staked: 70

Good stuff Zonk.

Never realised you were actually tipping in here. Thought it was just plugging your site.

I will start keeping an eye on how your doing. Keep up the good work

[zonker84]

Thanks Kiko, appreciate it

Not doing too badly with the cricket, but looking forward to having some more football bets as well. Only about another month of the domestic cricket season to go
