Reaction to Southampton Being Promoted to the Premier League

It was approximately five years ago that I gave up betting on football. My routine was very similar every week at the weekend. Wake up, usually hung-over, stagger to the local subway for a foot-long to sort out the fuzzy head, and then a trip to the bookies on the way back. I’d put my ten-fold accumulator on, the type that would make you rich and mean you’d never have to work a living day. The fact I’m now working full time tells you everything you need to know about the results of my accumulators. Sure, I had my fun along the way, the evidence buried away in some horrific Facebook photo albums. But there came a day when I decided to move away from football betting. I wasn’t controlled enough. I didn’t take it seriously enough. I now punt solely on horses, as it’s my favourite past time and to be good at something, you’ve got to specialise.

First up it is West Ham travelling to Cardiff tonight and goals look to be on the menu so there is real value in this promotion.

Blackpool will feel they need to win here to stand a realistic chance of going to the final at Wembley and an electric atmosphere at Bloomfield Road could be the difference.
History in this fixture is on Birmingham’s side – they have not lost to Blackpool in their last four meetings, winning three and striker Marlon King scored in both meetings this season. He is a 2/1 chance to score any time tonight.
In the last three meetings between these two ten goals have been scored and Blackpool have averaged 1.82 goals per game at home with Birmingham scoring 1.69 away goals per game on average. Birmingham have seen 65.2% of their away matches this season go over 2.5 goals while 56.5% of Blackpool’s home games have produced three or more goals. These stats make over 2.5 goals to be scored (10/11 with William Hill) the best looking bet of the night.
For the punter looking at longer odds options Birmingham dropped the most points from winning positions in the regular Championship season and Blackpool picked up a league-high 32 points from losing positions. To enhance this stat even more, the Seasiders scored 27 goals in the final quarter hour of matches. There are a few betting options taking into account these figures, the most obvious, and most profitable would be Birmingham HT/Blackpool FT (28/1 Sportingbet). Other options are Birmingham to score first (6/5 with Bet365), Blackpool to score last (Evs with Totesport) or Blackpool to come from behind and win or draw (4/1 with Ladbrokes).

Cardiff vs West Ham Play-off Betting Tips and Odds
The play off’s emerging. The first question I will quiz readers with is who do you think has the best form in the last 6 games? I suspect a few of you will say Cardiff, as every time West Ham has been seen on the vidiprinter they are not winning. Okay, I give up; both teams in the last 6 have won 4 and both drawn 2 matches.
Cardiff are seen as the outsider for the play offs having West Ham to get past, and then either Birmingham or Blackpool. We think the winner of this over 2 legs will be promoted to the Premier League. On performances over the last 4-6 weeks, West Ham have buckled a little, but are the 9/5 favourites for promotion.
