I think we nail 'em!!

19-12 +10.5U

Really rocking now, time to climb well above 10 units profit and today it is:

Boro vs Reading - Draw +220

Both teams don't like to ship goals, so chances will be at a premium, bookies haven't missed a trick with under 2.5 almost at -200 now.

Was toying between this bet and Jutkewizc to score first, but the draw looks solid.

19-13 +9.5U

Looked like we were never in the game - don't **** this up Boro

**Smogs** · 03-02-12, 02:19 AM

Ok, where to go from here, we really need to prove ourselves this week with a long and tricky trip to Pompey.

Boro @ Pompey - Boro DNB @ 3/4

There we go, 20-13 +10.5U

Back in the Playoffs for at least the weekend

Middlesbrough vs Barnsley - Boro -1 +110

No brainer here for me, Barnsley are in shocking form, we are in good form, winning 3 of our last 4, and scored 3 on the road on Saturday.

Adam Hammill is going to take us up, great loan signing from Wolves, so we should win this 3-0

**Smogs** · 03-07-12, 02:19 AM

21-13 +11.6U

Above the 10 units quite comfortably now, and Boro are rolling, so things are good

**Smogs** · 03-09-12, 10:12 AM

Boro vs Leeds - Over 2.5 goals @ +100

Just got a feeling we win 2-1

**finfan88** · 03-09-12, 10:43 AM

what leauge on leeds?

**elTiezo** · 03-09-12, 05:11 PM

^^The Championship

**Smogs** · 03-12-12, 12:06 AM

Can't shake off the shackles of the +10 unit mark

21-14 +10.6U

**Smogs** · 03-16-12, 02:15 AM

Just going to make this one simple

Birmingham @ +100 to beat Boro

Sorry, internet has been down,

Over 2.5 goals -110

Expect us to lose heavily also

**bigwinnertime** · 03-21-12, 02:57 AM

well...you must be surprised but your team got the point....

**Smogs** · 03-21-12, 07:46 AM

+10.5U 22-15

Hit the bar last minute to deny us a back door win

Boro did well to get a point @ West Ham given Emnes was playing for them to make it 12 v 10!!

Haha, well today it really is make or break.

We love to play crap against the good teams but i honestly believe we have one of the best records against lower table opposition, so i have to plump for:

Middlesbrough vs Bristol City - Boro -1 @ +109

**Smogs** · 03-25-12, 04:07 AM

Uh, my bankroll is floundering like our promotion push.

I literally think our players don't want to go up

22-16 +9.5U

**Squirrel** · 03-26-12, 07:09 AM

Home performances against the middle and lower teams have pretty much done you this season - must be the pressure of playing in front of all those empty seats lol.

You're right squirrel, we'll look back and it will have cost us the automatic spots at least.

However, with ipswich now completely safe from Relegation, and Middlesbrough getting a fair price for this road game:

Ipswich vs Middlesbrough - Boro DNB 13/10

Not being funny i see us winning 2-1 here

Haha, well we were a goal shy, so a push it is. Shame, we just don't dominate teams any more, and now we travel to Brighton on Saturday - christ we're screwed

Just to back up this theory - records of the current chasers at home to teams currently in the bottom 8 (P, W, D, L, PTS)

Brighton 8-7-1-0-22pts
West Ham 8-6-2-0-20pts
Cardiff 7-6-1-0-19pts
Blackpool 7-5-1-1-16pts
Reading 7-5-1-1-16pts
So'ton 6-5-0-1-15pts
Birm'ham 7-4-2-1-14pts
Hull 5-4-1-0-13pts
Leeds 7-4-1-2-13pts
Boro 7-2-5-0-11pts

Rank last of all the chasers in so called wasy win games. If 4 of those draws had turned into wins you'd be sitting on auto promotion now.

Its ok being a good team but you dont get anywhere without winning the games you should at home to the leagues bottom teams.

Yeah it's very true, we go into these games and just don't perform. We have lost 9 games this season and they have all come against top ranked teams virtually, Reading (2), West Ham, So'ton, Blackpool, Leeds, Brum, Burnley...........and then Coventry lol.

But our away form, we have won 9 games, i think they have all been against weak teams, the likes of Barnsley and Pompey for instance, so it shows we can do it on the road, but come playoff time we will struggle awfully, even if we do make the playoffs

**Smogs** · 03-30-12, 04:48 PM

Brighton vs Boro - Boro +0.25 @ evens

**Smogs** · 04-01-12, 02:12 AM

23-16-1 +10U

Should really have won, but once again our defence shows signs of breaking as we enter the closing stages

**Smogs** · 04-05-12, 02:02 AM

With both teams coming in on 4 draws in a row, will a team actually win this game??
I think Boro are closer to a win than Cardiff, and we have started to create chances again, so:

Boro vs Cardiff - Boro DNB @ -130

**Smogs** · 04-09-12, 04:39 AM

23-17-1 +8.7 Units

Right come on Boro, you pack of c*nts!!!

Hull vs Boro - Over 2.5 goals +125

Why do these Cardiff bastards get to play in an English league when they are from bloody Wales

Lol, same with Swansea. But then again, Wales is barely even recognised as a country, we incorporated them in 1500 or something - part of the UK ever since.

Nice to see Boro f*ck everything up again, next season we'll go the way of Pompey/Leeds/Bradford i feel
