BET DEC V LONDON WASPS (26 NOV)

 

All the boys were following the Four Nations with interest over the last few weeks – but none more so than Dave Paice. I think he fancies himself as a bit of a bookie and he cleaned up during the tournament after winning quite few bets with the Kiwi lads.

 

Talking of winners, I reckon it’s about time I had another one in this column! And if there’s one man who can help me get it, it’s got to be Arsenal striker Robin van Persie. He’s absolutely on fire at the moment and it’s about time I had a wager on my own team.

 

The Gunners have won five straight league games and rockin’ Robin has hit an unbelievable ten goals in that time. It’s been a year to remember for the flying Dutchman, who has now scored 31 times in 29 top flight appearances in 2011, and I can’t exactly see Fulham’s defenders relishing the prospect of facing him on Saturday evening at the Emirates.

 

I’ve decided to split my funds this week and have couple of different bets, the first of which is a tenner on van Persie to score first at odds of 5.2 on BETDAQ. He’s netted in three of his last four matches against the Cottagers so I’m hopeful he’ll get Arsene Wenger’s men on their way.

 

Arsenal’s abysmal start to the season is an increasingly distant memory. They can collect another three points against opponents who have only tasted victory three times so far this term and are stuck in the wrong half of the table.

 

However, I’m looking to squeeze out a bit more value than I’d get by backing the hosts at around 1.48 in the outright market, so the 2.45 available on BETDAQ for Arsenal with a -1.5 Asian Handicap is appealing.

 

Of Fulham’s five Premier League defeats this season, only one has been by a margin of less than two goals. Meanwhile, Arsenal have won three of their last four home games with at least a two-goal cushion, so there’s good reason to think they can outscore the handicap here.
