I hope no-one followed this one.

Given the start I would suggest it is stupid, yes.

Santos and Corinthians to both win and over 2.5 is 11/1.... that's simply too long. Even just an over 1.5 team goals double is nearly 4/1. Santos at home have done that in the last 11 games, with most times going over 2.5. They're playing mid-table Flamengo who only stopped their losing streak last time out with a win at home to terrible Goias. Corinthians will be motivated to seal the title and are in great form, scoring 3, 2, 4 and 3 in their last 4 away games, and are playing 2nd bottom Vasco. My only concern is whether the internationals have massively weakened them... but surely not enough to ignore the above?

Santos are at home, and my word when they're at home they've been an earner recently. Last home game (2-1 win) was the first in 10 where they didn't score at least 3. They've won their last 12 home games.

Because Brazil.

Uruguay look like they mean business this time around. 2-0 up vs Chile after dismantling Bolivia away (never easy) and Colombia at home. Still look solid at the back but actually have a few goals in them now, an improvement on the total dross they've served up in recent years. Edit: 3-0. Chile from set pieces are hilariously bad.

Love how much the qualifiers mean to the countries - players and coaches going absolutely mental after Uruguay and Bolivia goals tonight for example. Only in the 4th game of qualification too.

Godin in goal in big game shocker.

Couldn't believe how people thought he was limited. He scored all sorts of goals last year yet people said he didn't have much to his game. Might not turn out to be an especially spectacular player but he's already well-rounded at 22 and will get better.

Ouch. On the other hand I've seen you win plenty on here like so I'm sure it won't be long before another payday.

Made a very decent wad tonight but actually disappointed it wasn't more. I'm a greedy cunt. Still, £500 represents one of my biggest hauls of the year. Good stuff everyone and especially Wullie for pointing out the ludicrous value on that treble.

Ludicrous.

Oh Zlatan.

And there we are! Great stuff Wullie mate.

Friday was a great day. Come on Slovakia.

2 goals required in the 2nd half in Slovakia for the treble.

Got on that treble Wullie, what a start!

Won £300 on Friday's friendlies, in bizarrely good form. Ecuador over 1.5 team goals is 9/5 with Boylesports, seems ludicrous.

Martinez hates him. Totally fucking mad we're ostracising him, talented player with admittedly sometimes frustrating end product but given a consistent run can be one of the best wide players in the league.

Run is over. Annoying, as over 2.5 comes flying in across all 3 games. Hard to account for relatively early red cards for 2 of the away teams but there you go.

Will see if I can continue things with BTTS at Cheltenham, Chester and America-MG.

Thought this was a bit of a stretch in the dull French/Italian leagues so only went for over 1.5. Won, obviously, but at significantly shitter odds. Still, great shout. I was just hoping for a bit of logic to play out in reality - Crotone were very appealing at 5/4 in the first place but Avellino had won their last 2 games 3-0 so I thought they'd be good for a goal - bit late but got there in the end. Dijon at first appealed on the double chance at odds against but results in Ligue 2 are at best dodgy, so I thought they'd at least score like they tend to do, albeit in a harder game than most. It sounds straightforward but so often things don't go as planned so it's refreshing to see things play out roughly as they ought to have done.

I've noticed mate you're going great guns at the moment. Time really is everything, you'll always get times when all the form studying in the world is thrown out the window, but generally the more time you spend, the more money you'll make. Which is what makes it infuriating when research doesn't pay off. Abstract leagues are the way forward, consistently better value than the completely saturated market in the top European leagues.

It was absolutely and utterly unnecessary too. There were a dozen ways he could have made some space for the shot and that's what I liked about it the most.

After a frankly shocking October, November has been class so far. Don't even know why I'm saying this because I know I'm now doomed. Anyway, to completely nullify any chance of me continuing my run, let me tell you that you could do worse than having a BTTS treble* on the games at Crotone Lausanne Dijon *it should be noted a couple of weeks ago I had a BTTS treble where all 3 games ended 0-0, which in my eyes is impressive.
