I know 8/19 tips is poor, but I'm only getting started. There was definitely some great value there. I'll review the matches now.

SOUTHAMPTON - MANCHESTER CITY
This was a boring match and it ended a scoreless draw. My prediction of Manchester City winning was wrong.

BLACKBURN - ASTON VILLA
This one had draw written all over it. 2-2 was the final score. $3.20 was definitely good value.

EVERTON - TOTTENHAM
Well this match definitely should have ended a draw and Everton were very unlucky not have made it 1-1. On another day it probably would have ended a draw but this time it finished 0-1 to Tottenham. The HT/FT DRAW-DRAW prediction was only good at half time, at $5.00 it was definitely value but unfortunately wasn't pulled off. The DRAW 0-0 prediction was, again, close to being pulled off but at $7.50 it's always too good to be true. The one prediction I did get correct was UNDER 2.5 GOALS, at $1.72 was decent value.

NORWICH – PORTSMOUTH
Norwich have entered by banned list after this performance, I thought they could finally pull off a victory but they were lucky to even get a draw.

CAGLIARI - BRESCIA
I underestimated Cagliari and overestimated Brescia. I thought after Brescia's previous victory over Udinese they could pull off a draw against a decent Cagliari outfit but Zola proved me wrong.

MESSINA - SIENA
Messina proved that they aren't flukes by defeating Siena 4-1. I expect the Sicilian team to be at much shorter odds next time. $1.80 was excellent value.

PALERMO - BOLOGNA
The Sicilian capital did well to beat Bologna. $1.80 was valuable for the 1-0 win.

UDINESE - JUVENTUS
Juventus achieved another 1-0 victory. $1.80 was good value, once again, for the black and white outfit.

PARMA - FIORENTINA
Parma have made it to my banned list, I'm no longer betting on them as they are far too unpredictable. Another 0-0 scoreline.

CHELSEA - LIVERPOOL
This was definitely the best match to bet on. Chelsea are becoming more and more predictable each week with their trademark 1-0 scorelines. $1.70 was great value for the win, but the CHELSEA 1-0 scoreline was amazing value at $6.00. UNDER 2.5 GOALS was also a great bet at $1.75.

SUNDAY TREBLES
Well I thought I had ruled out every possibility when I selected NEWCASTLE-MANUTD-CHELSEA and DRAW-MANUTD-CHELSEA. But it turned out the team at the shortest price ($1.30) was the weak link in the chain! At $4.75 (NEWCASTLE-MANUTD-CHELSEA) and $5.75 (DRAW-MANUTD-CHELSEA) value was guaranteed but Man. Utd. proved they won't be able to achieve anything the way they're going.

REAL MADRID - DEPORTIVO LA CORUNA
Another disappointing display by Real Madrid proved they aren't worth betting on in future. An over-rated team such as them has proven to be far too unpredictable.

Well, thanks for reading my predictions and I'll post some more next week and hopefully I'll win most of them, granted a bit more luck than this week.

One final tip for tonight though...
CRYSTAL PALACE - FULHAM
DRAW - $3.20
FULHAM - $2.40
By betting the same amounts on both of these results you are guaranteed profit!
Good luck.
