Haven't checked back this thread for a bit, good to see you're getting results and bets in. Might throw in a looksee here for the next round of games... but PNE don't seem to have progressed/digressed one bit since I last checked! 3 goals scored and 4 goals let in with 11 games, I want to say draw specialists, but Liverpool seem to be doing that even more in a league above haha.

Next round was played today, they sometimes play matches in the same time like Champions League
Sheffield and Norwich and doing really good this season but Reading and QPR are following them and they don't fall behind a lot.
Many draw results today but there are six more matches played tomorrow, and real test for Burnley wil lbe against Stoke and I think they can win.

My bet of the day is Wigan to win against Hull that is in terrible form and they miss many players for this match.
Odds are great for clear away win, but I would suggest going with a safer bet with Asian Handicap Wigan Athletic (0), or double chance X2:

Vincent Kompany and his side hasn't been a bad side though but it's just that they're losing games they shouldn't have in the first place.
They have a good stats at home matches where they have won two games and drawing just three. They should and will do everything to get themselves put. Stoke city, I don't really know what to say about them. But they should get their self ready for a defeat they don't seem ready for the next game. They have been cautioned if they don't listen fine it's up to them .

EFL Championship Round 14 is starting in Friday with one interesting game of two currently top placed teams QPR and Reading.
Reading is surprisingly best home team in league so far, and QPR is one of the best away teams, but QPR lost only one time at home playing against Reading.
Away team will be without few more players but I really don't understand this low odds on home win, maybe because they managed to beat Sheffield in last round.
QPR best striker Willock could miss this match but this is not confirmed, and I think this match is smelling on draw and both team scoring.
My Bet: Both Teams to Score

My Bet: Both Teams to Score

Both teams scored like I predicted and QPR was better with a late goal in 84 minute.
It's amazing that QPR is now holding third place in the league, and that is why I love EFL Championship
Ten more matches are scheduled for tomorrow with lot of interesting matches for betting.
Blackburn should win at home against Rotherham, but I don't know if West Brom will sink lower against Luton or not, but tomorrow will tell.

Norwich vs Preston looks like a good home win bet, but some players are missing and questionable for Norwich so I would place lower stakes.
Odds are still good and Norwich needs three points if they want to continue race for Premier league.
I don't expect many goals in this match, Preston has a best defense in league so far, so my second bet is under 2.5 goals.
My Bets: Home win; Under 2.5 goals.

Stoke City vs Sheffield
Many people and bookies expect for Sheffield to slip again but I am going opposite direction and I think they will win despite some injury troubles.
They need to come back after last round narrow defeat and I don't see them losing in this game.
I will not exclude draw so I am making one more safer bet with asian handicap.
My Bets: Sheffield (0) AH; Sheffield win.

Ouch on both counts here... and a very strange one, as PNE scored 3 goals in this match after only managing 4 in the past TWELVE games... while letting in two after only conceding 4 before this.

Still the worst offence and best defence, but 3 points against Norwich? What a way to open the floodgates!

Bad day for my main predictions, but it's all good, that makes me grounded so I don't think I am some kind of master predictor
This is why I love Championship league, you can always expect such a crazy results like Preston beating serious title contender Norwich at their stadium.
I didn't expect Sheffield to lose so easy, but I was right about Blackburn, shame I didn't bet on them.

Betting and predicting, it really grounds you, doesn't it? I started betting more frequently around 2016, as Klopp took over. Wasn't even doing it very seriously, but ended up with a really big amount of money from almost nothing, taking advantage of new bookie offers during Liverpool's Europa run.

Then crypto betting became more "serious" as I got interested in value betting, and then many seasons did so well, but since last season, I've been having trouble keeping consistent wins.

The old Sportsbet Multimaster and current pools do show that I know nothing. And that's from watching almost every game!

They do say the Premier League is outstanding for lack of predictability but really, it's the Championship that takes the cake. Do miss getting Derby matches with 5/1 odds though.

Just look at the table and you will see there is not much difference in points between first ten teams.
Second half of the season is usually when everything starts to look more clear and it's little easier to predict matches, but there are still big surprises.

We have two matches in this midweek, tomorrow is one interesting to me when Wigan is waiting for Blackburn in their stadium.
It's interesting that Wigan never lost at home from Blacburn for years, and this is going to be hard match to predict.
Blackburn is the only team in the league without a single draw, so this could be the match for that, maybe both teams scoring.
Both teams need points here for different reasons, and I believe Blacburn must score with great striker Brereton on their side.
My Bet: Both teams to score.

Not bad odds at all for BTTS on Sportsbet:

New round of EFL Championship is back tomorrow with Round 15 and we have almost all matches played in Saturday and one in Sunday.
Before season started I would never say that teams like Coventry, Huddersfield, West Brom and Middlesbrough would be on the bottom of the table, but it is like that.
Situation on top is now very interesting with three teams having exact same points Sheffield, Norwivh and QPR, with only three point difference from seventh place Blackburn.

Sheffield vs Blackpool
This should be easy win for home team but nothing is so easy in Championship, and both teams are missing some players.
Sheffield lost last two matches so it's now or never for them, if they want to stay on top they need three points from this match.
Odds are not great but I am going for home win but with mid stakes only, or I may try more in live betting.
My Bet: Sheffield win

Middlesbrough vs Blackburn
I don't understand odds on this match, even more when Middlesbrough won only one time against Blackburn in recenet H2H matches.
This should be a tight game but I am more going towards surprise away win or a draw, so best bet for me here is double chance.
My Bet: X2 double chance, Blackburn (0) AH.

Luton vs QPR
This is going to be similar like my previous bet, QPR has more quality and H2H matches are on their side.
QPR is in great form and they are one of the teams with best result in away matches.
My Bet: X2 double chance, Blackburn (0) AH.

^Tough luck on QPR and Sheffield, hope you did a big one at least to cover the 2 misses. My team to follow, Preston North End, have now allowed the average quality to shine through, after the huge goalfest 2 games ago, now finally lose 2 in a row and are settling in the right spot in the table, right smack in the middle. Boro and Huddersfield are hopeless, and they remain in relegation zone, probably deserve bottom actually as Coventry only played 11. Tough!

Yeah, Blackburn saved the days for me, but I took a risk with other match Luton vs QPR so I am not sad for losing.
I can't understand how Sheffield managed not to win when they had two goals lead in first 24 minutes, and  Blackpool had two red cards in this match.
Maybe they are not the right caliber for championship title if they can slip advantages like this so easy.
Norwich lost against Watford, and now Burnley take over the 1st position on table

One more bet for me tomorrow for Hull vs Birmingham.
Home team has a lot of missing players and they are in terrible form, but they have great H2H with Birmingham.
Anything could happen in this match but I double chance X2 is my choice.

Blades were amazing in their first season in EPL but for some reason just couldn't hang on and yeah they seem to have digressed since then, but I realise they're hardly the same team they are today also. Watford/Norwich well, that's an easy coin flip to me.

Martingaling on either when they're 2/1 seems to be a good way to gain some money on small wagers... but I wouldn't risk it anyway. GL as usual, you know where my eyes are today.

This season in Championship is most exciting in last few seasons I follow, and anyone can beat anyone else.
Just look at the first place Burnley have only one defeat, but they have seven draws that is more than matches they won.
I think Sheffield have enough quality to finish in play-offs and to qualify for Premier league but they need to perform better.

I am coming back with correct prediction on this one
It was easy 2:0 win for Birmingham and they even missed one penalty in second half so it could been worse result for home team.
Next round is starting in few days during this midweek, there is no rest time in Championship.

Too bad I'm not really following so much this one, but it has shaped up to look like something a bit different from what we're used to. Rooney and his team were my follow for a bit, Leeds before they promoted, but right now I guess it's a mixture of little interest and little time, but when I *can* watch it's really good entertainment, what they lack in technical art they make up for with hard running and direct football (which I can really like at times).

They do laugh a lot when EPL complains of playing after 3 days huh.

I can't follow all matches like I did in last few seasons but I am trying to keep up as much as possible.
Six new matches are played tomorrow in Round 16 and another six day after that, with Norwich having one more hard match against Luton.
They now fallen to third place and Luton will catch them if they lose, and we are going to see if they are in down trend or not.
I may go with one more surprise double chance X2 on this match, but only with lower stakes, maybe safer bet is asin handicap Luto (+1).

Blackburn still doesn't have any draw in this season so this could be the perfect game for that.
I can't see them losing against Sunderland and I think both teams will score in this match.
My Bet: Both teams to score.
https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/soccer/england/championship/blackburn-rovers-v-sunderland-afc-63443343fd3756a6aee28da1

We have one more tumble on top after Round 16 completed today and now we have QPR in first place with same points as Blackburn!
QPR demolished Cardiff today and Sheffield surprisingly lost against Coventry, and it's now clear that Sheffield is in down trend.
West Brom, Coventry and Huddersfield are in worst position and I can't believe all this teams will go in lower league.
Championship is more interesting then ever and there is not much time for rest because new round is starting this weekend.

[notblox1]

It's time for Round 17 in EFL Championship and this weekend we have big match between Sheffield Utd and Norwich.
This two teams did both hold first place until recently when they lost several games in a row.
Both teams will miss some players for this match and it's going to be hard to predict outcome so it's best to skip this pair for prediction.

QPR v Wigan
This is going to be my main pick in this round, but QPR is going to miss their best striker Willock so I am not going crazy with stakes.
QPR is in great form, they are in first place on table and they have great H2H score against Wigan, so I don't understand great odds for home win.
Wigan won only one match in last five and they are going to have hard time in London White City district.
My Bet: QPR win.

Rotherham v Hull City
Hull City is missing many players for this match but their best striker Estupinan is available so I expect them to score a goal.
Rotherham is favorite to win and I think they will be better with full squad ready.
Hull is known for not keeping clean sheet, so I am going with goals as my second bet.
My Bets: Rotherham win; Rotherham (0) AH; over 2.5 goals.

Really time to put my Preston North End dreams of miracles to bed after today. Yes, they found a way to put goals into the back of the net again (does penalty and own goal count though I have to ask?), but they've also forgotten how to defend in past several games. Credit to them for keeping on trying, but then to lose a 4th goal in injury time, this is going to hammer them.

I am really not supporter of Preston in any way, they have worst attack in Championship league even after scoring two goals against Blackpool.
QPR is in top form right now so I am riding their waves at the moment, I placed bet on them both in Sportsbet and in Betnomi website and I won them both.
Not 100% success rate for me as Rotherham lost from Hull City, but they did scored over 2.5 goals like I predicted, so it's not that bad

Two more matches left for tomorrow Swansea vs Cardiff and Watford vs Luton.
South Wales Derby Swansea vs Cardiff is known for both teams not scoring for 93 years so this could be interesting to watch.
Both teams are missing few players but Swansea is in better form and they need points for play-off positions.
I think Swansea should win but I never like betting on them with high expectations, so I am going with Both teams Not to Score, with nice odds on Sportsbet.

Yeah, worst attack and best defence for a long stretch of the season, which is generally what I look for in "crap" teams to get high value bets (but they never really reached that).

QPR, you say, huh? I'll have a look at odds, but still haven't found the sweet Derby spot I used to rely on 2 seasons ago for really good hits. I'm looking for teams of 4/1 or 5/1 odds ML, to win those every 2 or 3 games is enough for me.

Double win 
Swansea won, and both teams didn't score, tradition continued to 94 years!

QPR, you say, huh? I'll have a look at odds, but still haven't found the sweet Derby spot I used to rely on 2 seasons ago for really good hits. I'm looking for teams of 4/1 or 5/1 odds ML, to win those every 2 or 3 games is enough for me.

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