Man City v Boro - Draw Looks Best Bet

By Betting Zone
November 3 2006

Like Liverpool, there's been a huge discrepancy between Manchester City's home and away form this season. At Eastlands they're unbeaten in four games, haven't conceded a goal and have claimed the scalp of Arsenal.

And yet, on the road, they've been appalling, losing four out of five, conceding 13 (the worst record in the top flight) and hitting rock bottom with a 4-0 drubbing at Wigan last time.

So back on home soil, is it simply a question of City getting back on track again after their shame at the JJB?

As ever with City, it's not that simple.

Anyone lumping on them here should remember that they've already been held 0-0 by Sheffield United at Eastlands.

And, secondly, Middlesbrough have proved a real bogey side for City down the years. The Manchester men have never beaten Boro in the Premiership and they've failed to register a victory against the north-east side in the last 11 meetings.

Before we think of backing Boro to register their sixth Premiership away win at City, it's worth remembering that Gareth Southgate's men are struggling too.

They're just one place ahead of their rivals in the table and, like Stuart Pearce's men, are winless on the road.

All five of Middlesbrough's Premiership wins against Manchester City have been by 1-0 scorelines so there's a temptation to back yet another at 8/1.

But with both sides unreliable to put it mildly, the safest option looks the draw at 9/4.

City have scored just three times at home while Boro have managed only four on the road so any potential goalscorer bets have limited appeal.

Under 2.5 goals is an obvious place to look but the bookies expect that's where the money is going and offer just 8/13.

In truth, this isn't a game to bet heavily on so we'll have the minimum stake on the stalemate.

A GUARANTEED PROFIT ON FULHAM v EVERTON

There's a full round of Premiership matches this weekend and Everton are the latest team to travel to Craven Cottage in an attempt to break Fulham's fantastic home record. We can guarantee you a profit on the match, whatever the result.

What we are going to do is back Fulham with Premier Bet in the hope of gathering a decent win. We are also going to back both Everton and the draw so that we ensure that we end up in profit on this bet, whatever the result. Read on and you will find out how.

We're going to lay out a total of £160.00 on the match and we will collect £187.27 if Fulham win. If Everton win or it's a draw, we will get all our money back. Whatever the result, we will also gain a £25.00 free bet.

You have temporarily laid out a total of £160.00. I stress, temporarily... Now sit back, crack a beer open and enjoy the match.

4. Here's what happens at the end of the game.

If Fulham win, you will collect £187.27 from Premier Bet, including your stake back and your first win bonus. This money can be withdraw immediately.

Premier Bet pay a bonus if your first bet is a winner which is tiered according to the odds. So with this bet you will collect the following if it's a draw.

£109.80 winnings plus a 15% bonus of £16.47 plus your £61.00 stake back which equals £187.27.

If it's a draw, you will collect £160.00 from Totesport

If Everton win, you will collect £160.00 from Extrabet.

As with Premier Bet, Extrabet also pay a bonus on your first bet. What they do is match your first bet up to £25.00 so if Everton win, you will collect the following:

£73.50 winnings, plus £37.50 winnings from your free matched bet plus your £49.00 stake back which equals £160.00.

Totesport will then credit your new account with a £25 free bet, whatever the result of the match.

5. This means that the worst case scenario on the Fulham v Everton match is Fulham don't win and you get all your money back plus a free £25.00 bet. But if Fulham do win, you make £27.27 clean profit plus a free £25.00 bet.

This method of betting was used very successfully during the World Cup and you can read all about how it was done right here.

It's understandable that some people will not believe that it is possible to do this. "What's the catch?" I hear you asking. My answer to that question is that we have been publishing arbitrage bets for three seasons now and literally hundreds of people have profited from following the advice on these pages.

Just enjoy the profit and stay posted for many more of these throughout the season.
