Welcome to the thirteenth edition of the weekly gambling feature ‘The Eagles Punt’.
This week we begin with the usual introductions and an update from last week with a BIG shake-up in the standings.
Introductions
- @cpfcpatriot – The Eagles Beak tipster
- @Andy_Bloss – Andy, now of @FYPFanzine, formerly of the local Guardian
- @HLTCO – Dan, the man behind the HLTCO blog
- @RedNBlueArmy1 – Terence, who runs the RedNBlueArmy fan site
- @EagleGolfTips – Tony, who gives excellent golf tips on his Twitter page
- @Oh__My__Word – Chris, frequent gambler and tipping extraordinaire
The Winning Bets
Five winnings bets this week, most of which involve Wilfried Bony. With Dan picking up two short price wins on Bony to score anytime and both teams to score to gain a small profit.
Andy’s correct score prediction gained him a profit of £50 on the week and brings his overall tally into the green as well. Both Tony and Chris picked up £20 profits on Bony to score first thanks to the terrific defensive marking.
This leaves Dan £136.46 in front of Blossy, with your pathetic tipster falling to last place as Chris picks up a much needed win. Tony moves to the bronze medal position this week with Terence slipping to last.
Preview
Yet another unpredictable game lies ahead where I hope Palace can attempt to gain another solid point away from home against a strong mid-table team. Tottenham are very Jekyll and Hyde at the moment and will look to try and dominate Palace with Pochettino’s famous style to take control of the game and protect their weakened defence.
