Coupon Busters - Game Week 19
Thursday, December 21 2017
Silly season starts here. Christmas punting is a bit like disappearing into the stationary cupboard with Sophie from accounts at the office party. Seems like a good idea at the time, but you can easily end up with only mild embarrassment to show for your spent wad.
Injuries – genuine and otherwise, funny kick off times, Christmas parties… all these can put a kink in form lines and chuck spanners in the works.
So to avoid getting too much Tippex down our trousers, we’ll sidestep Sophie and simply photocopy our arse a few times. .
Have it…
Draws
- Arsenal v Liverpool
- Everton v Chelsea
- Brighton v Watford £2 Trixie returns £40 (any 2 pays at least £5.70)
- Stoke v West Brom
- Burnley v Tottenham
- Southampton v Huddersfield £2 Trixie returns £40 (any 2 pays at least £5.50)
Looks like a lot of draws around to me. We won’t land all of them so we’ll play smart and have a Trixie disco across six matches.
Both Teams to Score
- Arsenal v Liverpool
- Brighton v Watford
- Leicester v Man United £1 Treble returns £5
- Everton v Chelsea
- Stoke v West Brom £0.5 Five-fold returns £11
Both teams to score in Arsenal v Liverpool look the bet of the weekend and I quite like the Treble. The other two are well-backed by stats, but I’m losing confidence in all four of the protagonists so stake accordingly.
Win & Both Teams to Score
- Liverpool to beat Arsenal
- Man United to beat Leicester £0.5 Double returns £9
A bit of a value punt, but well worthy of a silly fiver. Should add a bit of spice to watching the matches too.
I’ll have more to say about Arsenal v Liverpool and Burnley v Tottenham later.
Later skaters,

Matt's short, unremarkable football career was ended by his own bad driving. His long, distinguished career as a football tipster was ended by his own good advice. Because bookmakers don’t like a winner. First, they closed his accounts. Then his members’ accounts. Then his tipping service. And now they employ him as a consultant. Funny old game.
