Football And Facebook

After last week's slightly disappointing start to the footy wagering season, I find myself looking to claw back a four point loss.

Today, I'll take a chance on Fulham beating Middlesbrough. I like the industry in Lawrie Sanchez's team, and Craven Cottage is a tough compact little stadium that suits the home side's approach. Boro are perennial underachievers and shocking on the road, so at 2.05 with Expekt.com, they make it into my Saturday double.

The second part of the double is made up by Shrewsbury at home to Bradford. Although these teams were a division apart last season, don't let that fool you. Bradford were terrible and shedded most of their staff roster in the close season.

By contrast, Shrewsbury could have leapfrogged their Yorkshire opponents, but ran into the Bristol Rovers juggernaut at Wembley in the playoff final. Losing in the playoffs can have an adverse impact on some teams, but not so with Shrews, who kicked off with a 4-0 tonking of Lincoln away.

I think I'm right in saying that today is their first home league game in their new stadium, so they'll be keen to impress. 2.2 with Expekt.com is too good to pass up.

The double comes in at just about 7/2 (4.51 to be precise), and expekt.com are best price on the double. I'll have two points to win seven.

Indeed, don't be surprised by this. As I've mentioned previously, they are a go getting European firm and are targeting the UK betting market with best price on a majority of football matches. If you like a wager on the football, you really should have an account with these guys. Click the link to the left of this post to register - they're even chucking in £25 free bet for new signups, so you can get 'double bubble' on your first wager!

The other thing I wanted to mention was Facebook. For those of you who haven't heard of it, its a 'social networking' site. "What's a social networking site?", I hear you ask. Well... to be honest, I'm not really sure what the point of it is, but I put up a profile and a few days later I can now see what a load of my mates are doing, and their mates.

(One of my buddies, Jason, is actually the picture editor for Maxim magazine, so there's some fun shots on his profile!)

If you've got facebook, you can find me by searching for Matt Bisogno. Add me as a friend: I need more online pals!
