Gone for Forest to beat Newcastle tonight @ 4.9...

Newcastle had a tough game on Tuesday night in the cup, extra time and then losing on penalties. This comes quick enough just 3 days later and they also lost their last league game, at home v relegation-threatened Blackburn.

Forest have hit a bit of form recently winning their last two, and have beaten the 4th and 5th placed teams at home earlier in the season.

Might well be a few goals in this, Forest's home games have averaged 4 goals per game this season and Newcastle are the division's top scorers (Forest are 2nd top scorers, despite their lowly position). Have done 6 goals upwards at big odds and a few correct scores.

Also done HT / FT in the hope Newcastle start well then weaken.

Newcastle/Draw
Draw/Nottm Forest
Newcastle/Nottm Forest

The reality is, of course, that I absolutely suck ass at football betting so it'll probably be a 2-0 win for the mags

Also fancy Sunderland to beat Leicester tomorrow so have probably cursed that too.

Half-time

Forest 0-1 Newcastle

Newcastle down to 9 men, Forest have missed 2 penalties

HT / FT bets looking good but don't fancy the over 6 goals

I also got 16p matched at 700.0 on Betfair (to win £111) for 1-1 on the half-time correct score market just before Newcastle scored, then Forest missed their 2nd penna right at the end of the half

1-1 now, have greened up so win £50 if a draw, £110 Newcastle and £140 Forest.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Newcastle nick a late winner if still 1-1 late on and Forest pushing on.

I was a bit miffed at the 2nd penna miss but imagine if I'd got the full £2 matched at 700 and it cost me £1400

Didn't realise Forests odds were so large, well done Seen at least you managed a decent profit in the end.

Talking of large odds I keep looking at Burnley, their away from isn't so clever but they are more than capable of giving a pretty average Stoke team a run for their money, Stoke like to mix it a bit in the physical sense but they arent the Stoke team from 2 or 3 years ago, if it comes to Physicality I think Burnley will do em.
