England’s second tier football division, the Coca-Cola Championship, kicked off this weekend with a flurry of draws.
Based on previous season openings, I had anticipated a quiet opening weekend, and had bet on a draw for every fixture. With twelve fixtures and every draw paying over $3.00, I needed four games to result in a tie. With one game to go this weekend, I already have eight!
Anyone who had bet on a 1-1 draw for each fixture would also have done very well this weekend.
| Middlesbrough | vs | Sheff Utd | – | 0-0 |
| West Brom | vs | Newcastle | – | 1-1 |

Football is the sport I have historically performed the best at with betting so I’m delighted to have a new season underway.
At least Leicester won….
