Stealing Money - 28

[Ken4155]

The match involved does nit take place until Saturday lunchtime, but i'll put this up now, and 'bump' it a couple of times nearer the kick off.

High-flying Newcastle are away at low-lying Leeds, whose defence is almost as leaky as Kemi Badenoch. She was verbally rebuked by the Speaker. Leeds will most likely be physically rebuked by losing to Newcastle and, if he lines up, Alexander Isak, will be hoping to get on the scoresheet.

However, we won't be asking him to score a goal, just 1 shot on target will do, thank you very much.

Willy Hill are offering their usual EVENS - proper odds are 1/3 - that he does so. Usual max £10 stake applies.

I'm a bit more nervous of this one than most of your others.

These are the ones I tend to stay away from cos I'm not keen on the individual player bets .... a bad game and it's lost .... whereas with a team result, a bad performance from one or two players can be absorbed by an overall good team performance.
I'm going to pass on this one .... but I'll still be checking in to see if I would have won :)

[Ken4155]

Isak has taken 26 shots during his 18 appearances for Newcastle this season. Of those 26 attempts, 22 were on target, giving him a shooting accuracy of 84.6%, Just saying:-)

By the way, not encouraging either of you to change your minds. Merely pointing out the fact that i don't just 'dive in' with these offers. I do my research before parting with my ill-gotten. IMHO, these are quite strong stats.
I draw further confidence from the fact that, alongside bottom club Southampton, Leeds have the most porous defence in the PL when it comes to their home patch, shipping 31 goals.
Of course, there's no such thing as a dead cert, so you may both prove to be wise to have your reservations on this particular bet.

[Ken4155]

Isak is in the line-up so the bet is on.

Unfortunately, all good things must end and Isak failed to have a shot on target. Wasn't particularly down to him having an off day, rather the role he was asked to play today, which was more of a provider's role.
Still, the winning run was nice while it lasted:-)

As an aside, Junior (Leeds) received a yellow card, after which he deliberately handled the ball in the area, giving away a penalty. Yet he wasn't given a second yellow.
Until near the end when he fouled a Newcastle player on the edge of the area. Talk about baffled. It's about time they wrote a whole new rule book and made all infringements and punishments crystal clear.

I was listening to the match and Isak scored.
Unfortunately it was disallowed for offside.

Close, but no cigar.
