We go back a week to find the best soccer bet of the season so far.
A Shaws Road punter hit the bookies for a 1354-1 twelve timer last weekend.
The delighted punter follows the PG’s motto of bet small, win big and cleaned up on the Ladbrokes global coupon with a mind-boggling accumulator.
He had eight winners up last Saturday and was waiting for four teams on the Sunday and they all won 1-0 to give him the windfall.
The bar has been set for the season – is there anyone out there who can better a 1354-1 winner?
• WE had punters knocking down the door this week to get a mention in the PG with bookmakers taking an absolute pounding.
A Shorts punter hit Ladbrokes for over £500 when he placed a £15 ten-timer on UEFA Cup matches on Thursday night, when local bookmakers took a pounding with 17 odds-on shots all winning – great to see.
A Turf Lodge punter scooped over a grand with the same firm at the weekend with a £40 five-timer with Leicester (8/11), Sheffield Utd (8/5), Aldershot (4/5), Crewe (5/6) and Rotherham (10/11) all winning at the weekend.
He picked up £1,131.71 but was crushed when he was told that the 10 per cent bonuses had been cut – if the punter had done the bet in Sean Grahams it would have run him £1,251.23, which is one heck of a difference.
• Still going through my packed desk and here’s another bet that catches the eye from a few weeks back when a Suffolk Road punter took Paddy Power for £1,141,25 in a golfing double.
He took Ricardo Gonzalez to win the SAS Masters at 10/1 and NATHAN GREEN at 16/1 to win the RBC Canadian Golf Open.
He placed a £5 each-way double after the first round and had some sweat as Green won a play-off against Retief Goosen to pocket our punter over a grand – what an excellent bet.
Thursday Nag: Hawks Eye (2.40 Lingfield)
UEFA Cup Quad: H Tel-Aviv 4-5, Hertha Berlin 8/11, Heerenveen 10/11, Lazio 11/5

How come your quad isn't on the web Gerard? I'm abroad and can't get my hands on the paper. Gearóid
Gereard, for years now i have been telling anyone who will listen to watch rte coverage of the football. Eamonn Dunphy is one of the funniest guys you'll ever see with his thoughts on the football. Now im not saying i agree with what he says most of the time but id rather watch his honest assessment than watch Crooks and Shearer and the other cliche-ridden bores spout off the same shit every game, "it was a game of two halves","I've seen them given" etc etc. If you want a real good laugh at vintage Dunphy, go onto Youtube and watch his rant over Roy Keane a few years back. It lasts 10mins and boy is he upset. Very very funny, even more so that Keane washed his hands of him a year or two later.Watch it and tell me its not funny
p.s. All the dicks calling for PGs head take a redner. If you dont agree with him then JUST DONT BACK IT.
johnnyboy
Johnny boy , away and wash them.
WE will back who we want.
The Hoff
The PG XXX
On to the weekend selections and we start with the biggest match of the weekend with Arsenal facing champions Man Utd at Old Trafford – a game that is live on Sky at 5.15 on Saturday evening.
Both teams have six points on the board, both will be chasing a win come Saturday night and as usual it looks a tight one to call. I wrote Arsenal’s title challenge off a few weeks ago here and to be honest I still stick by that.
Looking at the other squads, they just seem to have more strength in depth than the Gunners.
However, Arsenal have started well this year and are scoring goals. They will cause Utd problems on Saturday night and the 3/1 for them to win is tempting, but a draw at 11/5 looks the bet in this one.
BLACKBURN, as I thought, have made a terrible start and take on WEST HAM at Ewood Park on Saturday and this looks to have a draw written all over it.
SUNDERLAND have started well with six points already on the board and they can snatch another one at STOKE.
Remember those doubles and treble.
The PG QUAD
We go to the Championship for the weekend PG Quad and we start at the City Ground where we are banking on NOTTINGHAM FOREST (5/4) to grab their first league win of the season at the expense of Derby.
Another team who have made a stuttering start to the season is Roy Keane’s IPSWICH (5/4) but we are banking on them getting off the mark at home to Preston.
Our Championship nap this season MIDDLESBORO (5/4) have started the season in fine form and they can bag another three points at Ashton Gate at the expense of Bristol City.
Making up this tasty looking weekend quad are BLACKPOOL (5/4) who are looking a hard team to beat under new boss Ian Holloway and they should take all points at Bloomfield Road against Coventry.
Coventry.
The PG FIVE-HIT
I was out enjoying a pint on Friday night and punter Eugene Campbell gave me an earful about me not doing the five-hit, so thanks to Eugene it makes a comeback this week.
HUDDERSFIELD (8/13) are hard to beat at home and three points beckon at home to Yeovil while BRADFORD (4/5) can keep the goals flowing against Torquay.
KILMARNOCK (10/11) can return to winning ways at home to St Mirren and hopefully by 5pm Saturday that will be our first three in the bag.
The last two selections are on Sunday when hopefully MAN CITY (8/13) can do the business at lowly Portsmouth and EVERTON (4/6) can see off Wigan at Goodison Park.
The rest, my friends, as always, is up to you!
THE PG Cup registration closed last week and we have our 20 teams and the draw will be made this Friday (28th August).
The draw will be online today on the PG daily soccer blog www.thepuntersguide.blogspot.com/
Remember, we have cut the format to 16 teams this year so four teams will bite the dust before we start the competition proper, so the last eight teams to register will battle it out next weekend.
The PG Cup proper will begin week ending 12th SEPTEMBER
Teams in the PG CUP proper: (1) Bright Sparks (2) DVLNI (3) BMG Printers (4) Citybus Duo (5) Stormont Four (6) Boucher Bankers (7) Bombardier Hotshots (8) Freezer Geezers (9) BCC Legal Eagles (10) Dairy Farm All-Stars (11) Glenhill Counter Boys (12) Stewartstown Supremos.
Teams that face qualifiers
(13) Hoys Toys (14) Spitting Cobras (15) Royal Boys (16) The Boys from the Black Stuff (17) Antrim Golfers (18) Short-Strand Doormen (19) The Bru Crew (20) Squinter Loves Trevor
weekend racing:-
A HALF-decent weekend of racing to look forward to with Saturday’s Celebration Mile at Goodwood and the Moyglare Stud Stakes at Leopardstown on Sunday the main highlights.
We start with Saturday’s race at Goodwood with top three-year-olds DELEGATOR and Zacinto going head to head.
Delegator now runs in the Goldophin colours and as he makes his bow for them he looks the bet here – but don’t rule out the in-form Mac Love who could run a big race at a double-figure price.
On to Leopardstown on Sunday and the Aidan O’Brien trained Lillie Langtry will take some stopping in the Moyglare with Misheer the big danger.
QUALIFIERS START NEXT WEEK – TEAM NEWS BY MONDAY (31 August) - SELECTIONS BY 1.00pm TUESDAY

suckabackemm
Yet again,puntersguide tips Utd to drop points and is proved wrong again.
When will he realise to stop napping Utd to draw especially at Old Trafford.
Fort Bar Lads
PG don't let these Utd scumbags grind you down mate
They all wear blinkers and are a terrible breed of supporter
How on earth did Utd beat them last night - THOSE TWO 21 year-olds run the match and will be some players in the future.
Arsenal should have had the game wrapped up before they got that soft equaliser. And how on earth did the ref not give them a pen - it was an assauly on Arshavin and fletch should have been jailed.
After watching Utd a few times this season they will find it hard to win anything this season
James (Barca Fan)
Well said james
PJ
James,PJ,you sound like 2 Liverpool supporters.Utd may not win anything this year but still beat Arsenal.Dry your eyes.We know everyone is waiting on Utd to fail.Did Arsenal think they were playing Celtic on Saturday.It takes more than a few passes strung together to beat the Champions.
Dry your eyes.
3 in a row.
Remi Moses
Arsenal were the better team on Saturday but against Utd you need to kill them off.Thats why they have won 3 in a row.They have the BOUNCEBACKABILITY Factor.
G.Hogg.
Before bed On Saturday night, Arsene Wenger is desperately trying to think of ways to get his blundering Arsenal teams’ season back on track. As a last effort Wenger decides to get on his knees and pray to God for guidance.
God hears the Frenchman’s whining and decides to take pity on the poor man, so later that night Wenger suddenly awakes to see The Lord himself standing at the bottom of his bed. God beckons Wenger out of bed saying, “Come forth my son…” to which Wenger replies, “Fourth? We’ll be lucky if we finish bloody sixth!”
All comedians hahaha..
Today's NAG folks Tranquil Tiger
Anyone else think Eduardo has created a monster.You seen Eboue getting caught diving on Saturday then the McGeady incident as well.All the refs are now out to make a name for themselves.Watch this space.They will get as many bookings wrong as the do right for diving.It does not make the matter any better when managers will not condone their own players for diving.
p.s heard a whisper for that horse yesterday

RE the hoff
What in gods name are you on about? I never mentioned anything about you NOT picking who you wanted to pick. If you read it again, what i said was that rather than some people having a go at PG, its easier to just not back it if you dont agree. No point in having a go at the fella
