The Bookiebeater

Saturday, 21st January.

The standard routine of hauling myself out of bed and attempting to spring into life by checking the matches that are about to take place with a coffee is actually one of those events in the week that I look forward to. 15 minutes of peace and quiet.

I'm not too enthused by the list of matches in front of me. Certainly the Premiership seems to be made up of ties which are too close to call. Liverpool v Chelsea? I'm pretty certain that Liverpool won't lose and my heart tells me they will win but the Bookie Beater never bets on Liverpool :-)

Celtic and Juventus at odds of 1/7 and 1/6 will turn a £34.00 bet into £45.33 so that will do for today. Looking forward to the rest of the weekend, I'm guessing that a quarter of the pot come Sunday morning will go on Barcelona who face Gimnastic at odds of 1/8.

Time for chores now!
