Before becoming a Sports Journalist for Free Super Tips, Aaron spent three years studying Sports Journalism at the University of Sunderland while taking in the Black Cats' 'glory years' under Martin O'Neill. Now back in Northern Ireland he turns niche stats into predictions for FST, while he's one of the few people on this island who is equally comfortable at Windsor Park and the Aviva.
We started this week with nine winners, a brilliant way to cap off a great showing in March. However, we’ve started the weekend – and April – in fantastic style after a big night of winners on Friday.
There was no messing around from us on April Fool’s Day, as we landed no less than seven tips! You can see each of those winners below.
12/1 BTTS acca lands
The pick of our winners from Friday was a 12/1 both teams to score accumulator, which included four matches from some of Europe’s lesser leagues and even a tip from Peru!
BTTS selections
- Dynamo Dresden vs Schalke
- Viborg vs Sonderjyske
- Sporting Cristal vs CD Universidad San Martin
- Bohemians vs Derry City
Final scores
- Dynamo Dresden 1-2 Schalke
- Viborg 2-1 Sonderjyske
- Sporting Cristal 4-1 CD Universidad San Martin
- Bohemians 1-2 Derry City
Our acca kicked off in Germany, where Schalke raced into a 2-0 lead in their second division trip to Dresden. They conceded a 70th minute consolation to get our BTTS tip off to a great start.
Things weren’t quite that easy in the second leg, where a late strike from Sonderjyske did little for them, but it was a huge boost to our fourfold. From there we moved on to the games in Peru and Dublin, with Sporting Cristal and San Martin both striking within the opening half an hour.
After Bohemians shot into a first-half lead, Derry City equalised just before the hour mark before scoring a last minute winner. That wrapped up our globetrotting BTTS acca, but we weren’t done there.
We also landed our 5/6 Bet of the Day tip, having backed Club Brugge -1 at Beerschot. The Belgian giants came through that with a 3-1 victory, landing us another football winner.
5 more US winners
If you’ve been following our US tips in 2022 you’ll know they’ve been in fantastic shape and Friday night saw more NHL and NBA success.
We had three hockey winners, with a 7/1 acca, 2/1 double and 7/10 best bet all coming good.
NHL Acca selections
- Tampa Bay Lightning -1.5 Puck Line vs Chicago Blackhawks
- Buffalo Sabres +1.5 Puck Line vs Nashville Predators
- Ottawa Senators Money Line @ Detroit Red Wings
- Vegas Golden Knights Money Line @ Seattle Kraken
NHL Acca scores
- Tampa Bay Lightning 5-2 Chicago Blackhawks
- Buffalo Sabres 4-3 Nashville Predators
- Detroit Red Wings 2-5 Ottawa Senators
- Seattle Kraken 2-5 Vegas Golden Knights
Our NHL acca came through in pretty comfortable fashion, with wins for Tampa Bay and Buffalo getting us off to a flying start. Both Detroit and Vegas took commanding leads in their games to set us up for a comfortable finish to our fourfold.
However, things were more dramatic for our best bet, as the Edmonton Oilers needed overtime to claim a 6-5 win at home to the St Louis Blues. That was also the first leg of our 2/1 double, which cma ein after the Anaheim Ducks won 5-0 against the Arizona Coyotes.
We had more best bet success in the NBA, as we backed the Minnesota Timberwolves with a +3.5 advantage. The playoff hopefuls ultimately didn’t need it despite facing off with the Denver Nuggets and reigning MVP Nikola Jokic, producing a 136-130 win to land both our best bet and our best bet double covering our NBA and NHL standout bets.
