Yes just follow QPR train, but few other teams are in very good form now, that is Blackburn, Millwall and Swansea.

In terms of the Championship this season, I will be monkey see, monkey do -- will also do a bit more to keep track of my betting results here, or at least when they're included in my accas (plenty of times last season, not yet this one).

Need to also find one or two matches to actually watch. I just kind of shied away from QPR ever since Aguerooooo haha.

So, some interesting news for me, Carrick's just taken over the reins at Middlesborough.

The last time I was betting heavily, it was on another ex-United star boss at a former Premier League club, so I wonder if it's time to start looking at either good odds on Boro or lopsided odds versus them Wink

Perhaps even more interesting is Woodgate is also on coaching staff. So a first-timer giving lessons a disciple haha.

Carrick, by the way, has a 100% record as a manager (3 wins in 3 for United) heh heh.

Just follow blindly all my picks and predictions I write every week, so you can blame me later if you lose your money gambling Cheesy

Just kidding, but you could easily find Championship matches to watch, some of them I could find for free on Aiscore website last few sesons: https://www.aiscore.com/

So, some interesting news for me, Carrick's just taken over the reins at Middlesborough.

Maybe he can shake them up to escape bottom relegation places, but next away match with Preston is not going to be walk in a park.

Two matches finsihed today in Championship, Coventry vs Rotherhma 2:2 draw, and Norwich lost from Burnley 1:0, and they are sinking lower, without a win in last sic matches!
Burnley is now taking over the first position on table, and they are now putting pressure on QPR but they have one match more than QPR.
Next round will be very interesting, starting from Friday, so expect my predictions in next few days.

EFL Championship Round 18 starting in Friday with one interesting match for me Birmingham vs QPR.
QPR is in very good form at the moment and they are on top side of the table, but they are going to miss their best striker Willock for this match.
Birmingham is not doing great with scoring goals this season and they are missing more players for this match, but they will have home stadium advantage.
Tradition is on QPR side and they won more H2H matches, but bookies make them slight underdogs so I am taking advantage of this.
I think QPR will manage to win, but just to be sure I am going with safer bet with X2 double chance and asian handicap.
My Bet: X2 double chance; QPR (0) AH

You can find this match on Sportsbet website with all other Championship matches:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/birmingham-city-v-queens-park-rangers-6353cf31cf723186b4dc7277

It was a bad day for QRP, they lost against Birmingham and they missed penalty in second half, that just proves how unpredictable Championship matches are.
Home advantage and missing of best striker was important factor and sadly I lost my bet, but let's move to Saturday matches and my new predictions.

Hull vs Blackburn
Home team is missing several players for this match and Blackburn is much stronger team that needs points to take over first place in table.
I think we can see goals from both sides but odds for away win are good enough for me, maybe combined with goals in Sportsbet Bet Builder.
There can be only one winner in this match, draw is very rear in this teams H2H matches, and Blackburn has zero draws this season.
With Brereton and Estupinan as top goals scorers in both teams we can expect goals
My bet: Blackburn win; Both Teams to score.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/hull-city-v-blackburn-rovers-6353cf31947eeca3dd643f31

West Brom - Sheffield Utd
Home team hired new manager Carlos Corberan so we could see some shake up in their play
This is not easy match to predict but I can see value in away win and I am not impressed with West Brom at the moment.
I am taking small surprise away win, but this can go either way.
My bet: Sheffield win
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/west-bromwich-albion-v-sheffield-united-6353cf312cd5b849256d6abc

I actually forgot to start my Championship betting this week, good thing too as I missed the QPR pile-on (and curiously, also missed PNE actually taking a win against Boro of all teams!). Not a good start for Carrick as they would have seen this as a winnable game, made worse by allowing an injury time winner against a CB, from a freekick for only his second goal? Reports also suggest they actually deserved the win. Back to the drawing board, Havoc.

Week 18 has been running in the EFL, we see a very tight competition between Burnley and Blackburn, Burnley got their win from Reading with a score of 2 - 1 in their last game, while Blackburn got their win from Hull City with a small score of 0 - 1. I have high hopes for Blackburn, I'd love to see them play in the EPL again, and with the positive trend they've made this season, it looks like my wish will make sense.

Bet won and Blackburn win, but both teams didn't score like I expected, but amazing odds and I triple my stake with this one.

Quote from: notblox1 on October 28, 2022, 11:22:01 PM

West Brom - Sheffield Utd
My bet: Sheffield win

Bet won same as previous bet, Sheffield won easy with two goals, and again amazing odds on this one.

It's shuffle time on top now, Burnley is 1st, Blackburn 2nd place and QPR is 3rd place with one less match.
West Brom is dead last, with Coventry, Huddersfield and Coventry not far from them.
Current top goal scorer is Yates from Blackpool with nine goals scored.

Big surprise for me that QPR lost that match, maybe it was nerves and pressure for top position, but I think I fixed things with my last two predictions on Blackburn and Sheffield Wink

Don't forget to check out midweek matches starting in few days with Championship Round 19, and I know it's busy schedule with Champions League in same day.

Sweet wins, well done.

Yeah and with some teams having very little or nothing to play for, I might avoid most legs and maybe add one or two picks from Championship for accas, if not just simple MLs here.

I'd definitely bounce QPR off at least an acca if the odds favour me (above 15/10 is good enough usually).

burnley is doing a good campaign, they have a very good performance, and 18 games have only lost one game, if they continue like this they will be the champions, I miss them in the premier league and I hope they return to the premier league and that this time they manage to stay in the premier league for a long time. Tomorrow's games are also interesting.

Luton - reading

I'm convinced that Luton will win this game, in my opinion they are stronger than reading

Sheffield united - Bristol city

I hope Sheffield united win this game, I don't see Bristol city winning this game

these are the two games I plan to bet

there is no suitable topic, so to share it here
have anyone watched League one match finish between two former PL teams Charlton and Ipswich?

rock solid, they entered overtime at 2:2, then Ipswich scored 2 goals in 2 minutes, for a 2:4 lead, but Charlton was back into next few minutes to bounce back to 4:4 in the end, 4 goals in overtime, cannot remember similar finish

You might want to be careful with QPR against Norwich this time.
Norwich is not in good form but they have great h2h record against QPR, and best player Willock is still questionable for away team.
I still see great value betting on double chance X2 or asian handicap if Willock comes back ion QPR squad, but with lower stakes.

No I didn't, but I know this matches in lower leagues can be crazy and interesting to watch.
Follow Championship matches this season and you will see many similar results.

Round 19 is starting tomorrow with six new matches and six matches are played the next day.
All teams could be little tired from weekend matches so be careful placing bets in this round.

Coventry vs Blackburn
This one is my bet of the day and I think Blackburn should win this one much easier than odds are showing.
Coventry never won against Blackburn in last five matches, they are on opposite side of the table, and they are missing few players for tomorrow.
Blackburn has a chance to take over first position on table with win in this match, and they are the only team in league without a draw.
We could see first draw for them today but I think they much better this season, so my safer bet is double chance on them.
My bet: X2 double chance; Blackburn win; Blackburn (0) AH

West Brom vs Blackpool
I am going for one more surprise for bookmakers, and I think we could see Blackpool bring points home from trip to West Bromwich.
Both teams are missing few players but West Brom is dead last, and Blacpool has best striker in league Yates available and ready for scoring goals.
For safer bet I suggest taking Blackpool with asian handicap +1, but double chance X2 is great bet for me, and don't be surprised if you see them win this match.
My bet: X2 double chance; Blackpool(+1) AH,

I like my chances on QPR to break their hoodoo vs the Canaries, and I back Carrick to get his new team back on track, so 2 away wins are on my ticket on Boro and QPR, and parlayed those up with Liverpool, Ajax and Leverkusen in the Champions League. Should be a special ticket, either way: https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/45aa4eb8-bf58-4fba-a906-aa427dbe3c6b

Good luck to you and your picks! My eyes will be on my team tonight!

Quote from: buwaytress on November 01, 2022, 07:25:56 AM

That was nice bet on Middlesbrough and very good odds.
Bad day for my predictions today, but I can't win them all the time

Both Blackburn and Blackpool lost their respective matches and I lost all my bets and money this time, and I placed few of them Sad

West Brom is showing signs of life moving from last place with this win, Sheffield won their match and they are not back in top three position on table.

Redemption day tomorrow.
My main bet is on Burnley to win against Rotherham and they should do it easy, but this is midweek matches so be careful.

I lost the acca thanks to Leverkusen, but I actually went ahead and doubled down on Boro/QPR parlay once the earlier game kicked off on a separate ticket for slightly over 10/1, so I still got something nice to look forward to tonight, will share ticket here if that hits!

I actually caught a glimpse of the BBC coverage and saw the West Brom goal... and a snapshot of Andy Carroll back with Reading (didn't realise he'd come back for just 4 months haha).

Quote from: buwaytress on November 02, 2022, 11:13:48 AM

No luck with QPR if you played on them to win, it was boring 0:0 draw with Norwich, but other results in this round wasn't much better.
Burnley was losing from Rotherham until the very end, but they somehow managed to create magic and score two goals in stoppage time for final score 3:2 Cheesy

Checking out table now Burnley is first with five points more than Blackburn, but Sheffield is not far and they have one match less.
Rodriguez from Burnley scored today and he is now sharing first place as best goal scorer in Premier League with Yates from Blackpool who also scored 9 goals.

I saw that actually haha and thought of you, was hoping for similar from QPR while watching Champions League, and the stats anyway seemed to suggest Norwich were on the ropes as the away team did twice as many shots on and off goal as the Canaries. Shame indeed, as I was really hoping for some good pings.

Sharing my losing bet anyway to remind me of my EFL folly!

No time for crying and being sad about lost bets, and Championship is not resting at all, with new Round 20 starting tomorrow with first match Reading vs Preston.
This two teams almost never play draw matches when they play against each other, and Reading has slightly better H2H score winning last two matches.
Preston is in better form right now but they have one of the worst attacks in league with only 14 goals scored, and in same time they have one of the best defense in league.
Reading is missing some players and I like more the odds on away team with asian handicap, but I expect to see few goals, so my main bet is under 2.5 goals.
My Bets: Under 2.5 goals; Preston (0) AH.

Quote from: notblox1 on November 03, 2022, 10:40:53 PM

My Bets: Under 2.5 goals; Preston (0) AH.

I had 50% success yesterday because Preston Won, but there was 3 total goals in match for final result Reading vs Preston 1:2.
Great result for Preston and they are now on 5th place in table, in play-off zone!

Eleven matches are played today in Championship and first is starting big match Sheffield vs Burnley.
Sheffield has much better H2H score when they play at home stadium against Burnley, but Burnley is in fantastic form and they hold first place in league.
It's hard to predict this match and I am leaning towards Burnley, but I think it's best to avoid betting on this match.

Blackburn vs Huddersfield
This is one of my main bets in Championship today, Blackburn is much better team playing against last placed team on table.
Huddersfield is not so weak like table suggest but this season was terrible for them so far, and they are missing some players for this match.
Blackburn has a big chance today to come closer to Burnley and I am sure they can do it with one of the best strikers in league Brereton.
My Bet: Blackburn win

QPR vs West Brom
It's time for QPR to come back with another win at home stadium against West Brom who won last week but it was very late win.
Odds are amazing on home win, but I would be happy with double chance and asian handicap that gives me more safety.
My Bets: 1X double chance, QPR (0) AH.

Rotherham vs Norwich
Norwich is much better team here and they lost only one time in last ten matches played with Rotherham.
I am not expecting easy win but I think Norwich is stronger and they need points to secure play-off spot and chance for promotion.
Both teams are not in great form and they are missing some players, but quality is on away side.
My Bet: Norwich win

My Bets: Under 2.5 goals; Preston (0) AH.

As you know, I've been following PNE in this thread until recently and noticed their crazy attack/defence stats for about the first 10 games. However, their form dramatically changed after this point and they're not, in the past 5 games, one of the highest scoring teams (and no longer keeping goals out).

They're not on my tickets though because of awful odds (for me anyway).

GL today! Am actually pretty full elsewhere so am out of Championship today -/
