Andy Hillman

Winners so far:

NAP - Norwich vs QPR - Both teams to score @ 4/6, 24/8/12

LONGSHOT - Tottenham vs West Brom - Lay Tottenham @ 2/1, 24/8/12

NOTEBOOK - Stoke vs Arsenal, Liverpool vs Man City, draw double, 7/1, 24/07/12

QPR related Bet - Zamora to score anytime v Man City at 11/2, 30/08/12

Longshot - Tottenham vs Norwich - lay Spurs @ 1.4, 30/08/12

Notebook - Roma to beat Inter @ 3/1 30/08/12

Nap – Man Utd to win to nil v Wigan, 11/10, 13/09/12

Longshot – double as part of a Premiership Yankee at 10/1, 13/09/12

A shorter column than usual due to operation ‘work-every-day-in-September’ currently in full flow, but the good times continue to roll in the Hillman Household, with my NAP of Man U to win to nil coming in, and I even got the score right in my throwaway 4-0 remark. Also landed a 10/1 double in my draw-Yankee, which would have seen you more than even over the other legs of the Yankee.

NAP- Chelsea vs Stoke - Chelsea to win to nil @ 11/8

I steadfastly refuse to offer a 2/5 shot (straight Chelsea win) as my NAP of the week - who, apart from the very large betters are going to back Chelsea at those odds? Chelsea at home to win to nil at better than evens though, that’s a much better proposition, and they should see off Stoke with little difficulty.

QPR related bet - Lay the Spurs win @ 2/1

I’m not sure whether we will get our first league win of the season against Spurs on Sunday, but I’m confident we’ll pick up at least a point. Hopefully the Europa game against Lazio will tire Spurs out a little, but I’ve seen enough from our recent performances to see that we’re going in the right direction.

Longshot - Premiership Away win treble @ 27/1 and double @ 9/1 Last week I looked down the list and saw plenty of draws, this week I look down the list and I see plenty of away wins. Away wins for Villa, Fulham and Man U against Saints, Wigan and Liverpool respectively, pays 9/1 for any double, and around 27/1 for the treble.
