Football

Been a difficult few days to find good bets, but tonight there are a trio of football bets in three different formats. Surely there can't be as many goals tonight as last night, can there???

Pizarro 1st Goal 13/2 e/w (1/3 1-2-3-4-5) (LOST +5.64 - two more goals for Werder, but neither from our tip unfortunately)
Chelsea snapped Claudio Pizarro up after the Peruvian had scored 99 Bundesliga goals from 176 starts, but made only 4 appearances in the starting XI for the Blues last season. And with Nicholas Anelka coming in during the campaign, Pizarro has headed out on loan to his first club Werder Bremen. Bremen are currently mid-table but are top scorers in German with 22 goals in 8 games, 14 of which have come in their last four games with Pizarro notching 4 of them. Panathanaikos have lost their last five Champions League games, split by a 2 year break where they only qualified for the UEFA Cup, and look out of their depth again this year. Hit Paddy Power for some 13/2.

Anorthosis +2 Asian Evns (WON +6.64 - A good performance by the Cypriots, who made Inter scrap all the way. Lets just hope the bookies still haven't cottoned on)
With the amount of support I've shown for Cypriot football this season, I'm not planning on going anywhere near Turkey anytime soon, but they are still under-rated, so I will keep on backing them! Anorthosis currently sit top of Group B on goals scored, but of course have group favourites Inter to play tonight. Inter should win the game for all manner of reasons, but this is a Jose Mourinho side, and they rarely have runaway results in Europe, even if Anothosis allowed them to, and these Cypriots work very hard for the full 90 minutes. They got a very credible 0-0 at Werder Bremen before beating Panathanaikos last time out - the same Bremen side who drew 1-1 in the San Siro. Victor Chandler's Asian handicap allows us a win if Anorthosis get anything out the game and even if Inter only win by the odd goal, which is the most likely result, and we still get our money back if its a 2-goal deficit. We only lose if the Italians win by 3 or more goals. Of Inter's 10 games in all competitions this season, only one has been victory by 4 goals, two by 2 (interestingly all those three were away from home), and the other seven would have given us a win from this bet. So does evens sound good enough for you?

Chesterfield v Aldershot Draw 12/5 (LOST +5.64 - badly, badly wrong! Where did 5-1 come from???)
From the San Siro to Saltergate. Chesterfield have drawn 2 of their last 3 games against similar mid-table mediocrities, and have a below-par home record with one win and one draw from five games. Aldershot are unbeaten at home still with 12 points from a possible 18 but one win and four losses on the road,and they too have drawn 2 of their last three against high-flyers Brentford and Bury, but lost on the road to Macclesfield. So will someone get a boost to their form figures tonight? I suspect not and would look to the draw to provide some profit from a chilly Ches Vegas.
