Hmmm, betting on an England game - am I sure this is a good idea? Only time will tell ...
Game 2: International Friendly - England B vs Albania
England were hot favourites to win this one so the draw odds were fairly long from the start.
Layed the draw pre kickoff for £22.98 at odds of 5.8 for a total liability of £110.29
To their credit Albania looked reasonably stable at the back early on, and in Berisha had a genuine threat on goal. It was fairly tight for half an hour, but then 2 goals in a few minutes from Smith and Downing settled England's nerves (and mine!).
Draw backed for £3.51 at odds of 38 for a guaranteed profit of £18.50
Perfect timing with the betting as the dangerous Berisha scored a cracker on the stroke of half time.
As I write, England lead 3-1 after a second goal from Downing.
