Betting Highlights
Alongside landing plenty of winners on a weekly basis in the Premier League, Simon enjoys playing the long game with some outright predictions before the start of each campaign. Last season, he successfully picked Leeds to go down at 9/4, while his outsider pick in the race for a top four finish, Newcastle, also hit the mark at a meaty 7/1.
Betting Heartbreak
We have to delve back into the history books to find Simon’s biggest punting heartbreak. On Saturday 8th, 2007, Simon had lined up a tasty six-game Premier League acca based around the day’s action which was in line to pay out a four-figure sum.
The first five predictions went off without a hitch and Simon needed unbeaten Liverpool to win at relegation candidates Reading in the evening kick-off to succeed. Unfortunately, with goals from Simon’s compatriots Stephen Hunt and Kevin Doyle, the Royals shocked Liverpool with a 3-1 triumph that shattered the dream.
