3/1 City Win and Both Teams To Score – All Customers
It’s officially all over and as we all suspected the Germans snuck past Messi’s crew in an epic final. In a game that was both skilful and brutal we were fortunate to experience a tense finale to what was a truly engaging World Cup tournament. In a way, it’s probably best that it didn’t go to all the way to penalties, even though it would have prolonged the enjoyment.
From the shock of the title holders limping out early doors, to the hosts imploding in the semi-final, World Cup 2014 truly was full of intrigue from start to finish.
With the usual gazillions of fans glued to their screens all over the globe, it’s been reported that the use of football betting apps massively increased the amount bet on this World Cup – and it would have been a mixed bag for punters and bookies alike. The Germans showed their class early on in the tournament and when they whipped the hosts in such emphatic style their odds hugely shortened.
Perhaps the defining moment in Sunday night’s finale was just after the moment Argentina earned themselves a free kick in the dying minutes. With the supremely talented Mr Messi stepping up to take it, the pressure on the man must have been incredible. And so it proved to be too much for the little magician that we expect so much from. Let’s be honest, apart from 80 million or so Germans who wouldn’t have loved it if he had he managed to whip the ball into the back of the net?
Sadly, it wasn’t to be and let’s take nothing away from Mario Götze’s sublime winner. When the young Bayern attacking midfielder came on a substitute he brought renewed energy to his tiring team mates and is now immortalised in the history of World Cup football. What a future he has ahead of him
How did your bets fare? With users of mobile apps like BookieBoost frantically taking advantage of free bets and price boosts from betting firms, the feeling is that those in the know had their money on the Germans from early on in the tournament.
‘But no team from outside South America has ever won a World Cup in South America’, we kept thinking. In the end, such stats are just that and Lionel Messi despite flashes of brilliance just could not get past that rock solid wall of a German defence. Bastian Schweinsteiger’s midfield heroics deserved nothing less. At times he looked more like Rocky Balboa.
And news just in is that Mr. Scolari has fallen on his sword as Brazil look to rebuild after the hosts could only manage fourth.
Congratulations to the Germans and Argentinians – and now we wait four more years….damn.

Time now to turn to the Champions League Final preview and what a night it promises to be in the battle of the Madrid giants.
Real Madrid have impressed all season from an attacking perspective, scoring an amazing 104 goals from 38 games in the league! However, it’s their goals conceded record which left them down in 3rd position, level with Barcelona but just 1 goal in goal difference behind. Ronaldo has been a stand-out player as of late, especially since winning the latest Balon D’or award.
As has been widely reported, he’s desperate to collect his second Champions League winner’s medal in Portugal. Ronaldo is the leading goal scorer in the Champions League with a record-breaking 16 to date – and he may not be finished yet.
Atléti wrapped up the La Liga title last Saturday, the first time they’ve done so since 1996. Having pleasantly surprised the footballing world this season under the management of Argentine Diego Simeone, Atlético have put a great deal of pressure on Barcelona and Real Madrid. They’ve also breathed new life into Spanish football in the process.
Atlético have managed to achieve solid match-winning performances all season but sadly it looks like they will be without their injured main front man Diego Costa. The team will be on a massive high after winning the league title and this could well spur them on to win again.
Atlético Madrid have certainly been less prolific in terms of score-lines when compared to Real, scoring 27 fewer goals in La Liga while also conceding 15 less goals.
This is a game that looks very difficult to predict. The key for Atlético is the near impossible task of keeping Ronaldo quiet on the night, although Real’s main man may not be 100% fit.
Ronaldo is 10/3 to be first goalscorer at Bet365 and better yet, Ronaldo to score first and Real Madrid to win is 4/1.
Real are favourites with bet365 at 10/11; Atlético are a tempting 3/1.

So it’s nearly over – and time now for our EPL Week 38 predictions. The Premier League this season has been simply amazing and we’re going to miss it once it’s gone for a few months. So, let’s savour this final week. Crucial games at the top and bottom are coming up so let’s see what our resident tipsters’ thoughts are with EPL Week 38 predictions:
The Premier League title is up for grabs and Liverpool have fluffed their lines that should have left enough room for Mn City to take the title. But who can say in this unpredictable of all seasons.
With Cardiff and Fulham already relegated, will it be Norwich, West Brom or Sunderland going down with them? Surely it must be the Canaries who must beat Arsenal and rely on Sunderland losing twice to have any chance.

Now our EPL Week 37 predictions and we’re into May already. The Premier League is heading for an exciting finish once more and there are crucial matches are coming up so let’s see what our resident tipsters’ thoughts are with EPL Week 37 predictions:
On Saturday 3rd May in the early kick-off it’s Tottenham Hotspur making the short trip east to West Ham. The Hammers have had the wood over Spurs this season, twice beating them at White Hart Lane when AVB was in charge. Can they do it at home? Spurs have a great away record and proved that by winning away at Stoke last time out.
Manchester United looked good under their new manager Ryan Giggs in the 4-0 demolition of Norwich City but they face a stern test against a Sunderland team who are finishing the season in a way that Houdini would be proud of. The Black Cats also come off a 4-0 annihilation of Cardiff City. But at Old Trafford it will be much tougher.
Fulham let a 2-0 lead slip against Hull and they face the daunting task of Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium. The Potters are smarting from a rare home loss to Spurs and will likely bounce back – although Fulham have far more to play for as they face the drop.
Swansea against Southampton does not hold too much interest regarding the outcome, with both teams safe in mid-table having ensured another season in the EPL. Looks like it could be honours even and hard to pick a clear winner although home advantage must be considered.
Newcastle United are playing host to Cardiff City and while the Magpies don’t have much to play for at the moment, Cardiff certainly do. The Bluebirds are at rock bottom and a defeat will complete their demise and send them down.
Aston Villa can take a step towards safety by beating Hull at Villa Park and with one eye on the FA Cup Final, perhaps the Tigers (who already look safe) will take their foot off the accelerator.
Everton are spluttering towards the finish line and need to beat Manchester City at home in the late Saturday game. Can’t see City losing this which means that the Toffees will probably not be able to finish in the top four now.
On Sunday at 13:30 Arsenal host West Brom and a win could see them seal fourth spot, depending on other results. The Gunners are old pros under Wenger at grabbing that fourth Champions League place and seem to do it every year. This year looks to be no different and the Baggies look safe enough from relegation – Arsenal will surely be too strong at the Emirates.
Chelsea have what looks like a regulation three points in the bag as the hapless Norwich City visit Stamford Bridge. The Canaries have had the daunting prospect of facing Liverpool and Man Utd in the last two games and now come up against Mourhino’s men. Norwich have now lost all of their lat five games and look certain to make it six. Will it be back to the Championship next season?
On Monday night, Crystal Palace host Liverpool in what should be a very tense affair for every Reds fan. The Eagles have have now won their last five in a row including victories over Chelsea and Everton. Tony Pulis has Palace purring and they have climbed from the bottom to the middle of the table in the process. The Reds had tough game against a weakened Chelsea at Anfield on Sunday. If the players start to think too much about the title and nerves play a part in this game, anything might happen.

Now our EPL Week 36 predictions. Only a few weeks left now and it’s going down to the wire at the top and bottom so let’s see what our resident tipsters’ thoughts are with EPL Week 36 predictions:
To start proceedings, a real test is in store for Everton who must go to St Mary’s and take on 
Southampton and win to continue their top four push. The Saints have not been 
too hot lately and the Toffees should take full advantage and win. If they fail to do so, Arsenal will definitely not let fourth place slip. Beating Manchester United was important to keep the pressure on the Gunners.
Disappointing Tottenham are out of the race for fourth now and 
must also go away to beat a team in red and white stripes to earn another season of 
Europa League action with their tough trip to the Britannia against Stoke City.
Manchester United host Norwich City with the Canaries desperate for points as 
they hover around the relegation zone. They can take heart from United’s vario
us home losses this season but will need to work their socks off to get a result at Old Trafford in this new post-Moyes era. It’s difficult to see a Norwich away win, especially with United coming off a loss but a draw could be reasonably expected.
At Craven Cottage, Fulham host mid-table Hull City. Hull’s FA Cup final dress rehearsal against 
Arsenal did not go well at all and another loss here could drag them back into the relegation dog fight. We think it’ll be Fulham to win at home.
Sunday sees the title contenders in action. Liverpool who are now hot title favourites after their win at Carrow Road take on Chelsea at Anfield in what promises to be a monumental 
contest. Should the Reds win here it’ll all over for the Mourhino’s little horse this season. After suffering the first home defeat in 78 games under their manager following Fabio Borini’s goal, it’s win or bust for Chelsea. This should be a great game.
Manchester City are still in with a shout of the title and they visit Crystal Palace. Palace defeated Chelsea at this ground just weeks ago and are on an amazing run. Tony Pulis is thriving and City are 
wobbling after dropping more points against Sunderland.
On Monday it’s Arsenal at home to Newcastle United. The Gunners seem to be on cruise control as they see out the season to yet again take 
the fourth Champions League place. With Newcastle safe from the drop zone and with seemingly nothing to play for a home win seems to be the logical choice.
To the full Week 36 tips….
| Home Team | Result | Away Team | BM Tips | LS Tips | Best Odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Southampton | 2-0 | Everton | 1-2 | 2-1 | Bet365 |
| Stoke City | 0-1 | Spurs | 1-2 | 0-2 | Bet365 |
| Fulham | 2-2 | Hull City | 2-0 | 3-2 | P P |
| West Brom | 1-0 | West Ham | 1-0 | 1-0 | P P |

| Arsenal | 3-0 | Newcastle | 3-0 | 2-1 | Bet365 |
In other matches, go West for the Baggies against the Irons. West Ham have not been great in recent weeks and West Brom have to get the points to secure survival. West Brom’s desperation should see them win here. Swansea City are at home to Aston Villa and this game is a similar situation. Difficult to pick a winner and a draw looks likely. Resurgent Sunderland take on Cardiff City. With all of the bottom teams showing fighting spirit in recent weeks this should be a beauty. Gus Poyet has worked wonders with the Black Cats’ win at Chelsea and a draw against Manchester City since the 5-1 loss to Spurs and narrow loss to Everton. Cardiff are not dead yet but the form book seems to favour Sunderland.
