Reading to win 3-2 - 33/1
Bristol City 2-0 HT, Reading 3-2 FT - 600/1
Reading 2-0 HT, Bristol City 3-2 FT - 650/1

A friend of mine did 3-2 both ways on televised games (when it was mainly Monday Nights and one at the weekend) a few years ago and it clicked something like 7 or 8 times over that season.
With odds always at least of 33/1 or more he did really well.

I don't think there has been a season like it since.

Good luck tonight and hopefully it will be 2-0 to us at H-T and 3-2 to us at F-T.

I think it was Dirk Gently a while back who used to do Reading to draw 3-3 pretty much every week. Iirc at the time it was coming in a couple of times a season, but can't remember the last 3-3 we had.

I had a spell some years ago in one or two of our lower divisions seasons of backing Reading to win 4-0, 5-0 and 6-0.
Although we were doing quite well and had a couple of 4-0s the best was a 6-0 at home to either Preston or Blackpool IIRC.

We were 6-0 up with still about 15 minutes ago and everybody else, bar me, was shouting "we want seven".
Anyway with a few minutes left Steve Richardson sliced a clearance that hit our own crossbar and came back down safely to the keeper and I knew then it was going to be alright.
The odds were 100/1 , so for £1 it was a good pay-out.

Cardiff away in FA Cup last year was last 3-3 we had, although that was AET so wouldn't have counted on a betting slip.

I had Reading 4-1 Ipswich at 66/1 (I think) a few seasons ago. Cue Oliver Norwood wonder goal with three minutes to go to make it 5-1. I didn't even get up from my seat.

Yep. Going anytime at 18/1.

oxf*rd Ipswich pcunts

[RG30]

File Esteves under value loser. Had 3 shots on goal, 2 on target as per Who Scored including one off the line.

Sevilla penalties up for grabs tonight. Ocampos the regular taker is out. Joao Jordan has taken one before for them but got a hunch it's Ivan Rakitic.

[Hendo]

I think Esteves will get one before the season is out, so certainly one to keep an eye on.

The shot which was cleared off the line was probably going in*, but it got blocked on the 6-yard box, rather than actually on the goal line.

The second attempt was much better, great block from the BC player and was 100% going to hit the back of the net.

*didn't see a replay.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Sure one of them will drop points, but not the hardest games on paper.
