SATURDAY SPORTS BETS

Very little to get excited about today. However, the search for value throws up a double from the Prem and the Scottish Championship. I did ponder having a dabble with the Leeds 13/5 - Arsenal 17/20 game but ahem, you don't know which Arsenal are going to turn up and Leeds surely owe their fans a response after the mid week mauling so best for a spread dabble rather than a win bet.
I had a brief check on the Rugby but with the faves for the 4 games quoted at 1/100, 1/50, 1/4, and 1/3 theres no value at all, even the spreads are slewed massively so we either win small or lose huge. Not for me thank you very much.
Villa @ 4/6 should do the business against Burnley. A few weeks ago punters might have had a case for Burnley but Villa are going well under Gerrard and I expect them to deliver.
Arbroath 8/13 should have too much for a Morton side who will try and shut down the home team who I expect will prove too strong.
So its Villa @ 4/6
Arbroath @ 8/13
$9 double on Stars potential return $24.23
I've also taken a spread in the Leeds v Arsenal game where I've bought the position on Sporting Index for corners X goals 29 - 32 @ 50p per point. This means we want goals and corners and don't give a tinkers about which side gets them, Should the game end goaless or cornerless then our maximum exposure is £16, which is a little more than I like but I can close the position in running so it's not too bad.
Roll on Sunday and the NFL.

The Villa match is off, COVID issues.
Terrible performance by Leeds though. Not even had a corner yet.
The spread bet should have paid out in view of 5 goals, however the paucity of corners, only 5 in all, and that despite 2 in the opening 3 minutes, gave a final result of 5x5=25.
So on a sell position of 32 we have a loss of 7 points @ 50p per point totalling £3.50.
So with 1 day of the week left both a profit and loss result is still possible.
Totals so far
Fixed odds Staked $16 returns $29.53 = + $13.53
Spreads = - £1.87
Have a good un
Although backers on cards must have been wondering how there weren't a couple of reds. High and late obviously means red for teams like Stoke, Brentford, Burnley etc but is acceptable for others.
