Football betting to start 2017 and some home bankers as far as my betting tips are concerned.
But can you make a perfect start to the year with your online gambling?
Everton vs Southampton (January 2, 23:00 GMT+8)
The start of what may prove a busy month for Everton in the transfer window.
Ronald Koeman is tipped to strengthen his squad during January, but he will know he already has more depth at his disposal than his former employers (one of the reasons he no doubt left the South Coast) as they arrive on Merseyside.
Southampton have struggled over the festive period, and I can’t see past another defeat here.
I’m going for a 🌟🌟🌟 Asian Handicap bet of -0.50 Everton @ 2.25.
Crystal Palace vs Swansea (January 4, 04:00 GMT+8)
Sam Allardyce’s first home game in charge and could they face more generous top-flight opponents than rock bottom Swansea?
They have 12 points at the half-way stage of the season, and the maths don’t lie.
Even if Paul Clement is appointed boss over the next few days, there is a serious rescue act to be carried out in South Wales, while Allardyce has talents such as Christian Benteke, Wilfried Zaha, Andros Townsend and Yohan Cabaye among his troops.
Too good to go down and too good not to back in this one – another 🌟🌟🌟 tip for me is Asian Handicap -1.00 Crystal Palace @ 2.49.
Stoke City vs Watford (January 4, 04:00 GMT+8)
Stoke showed brave resistance at leaders Chelsea on New Year’s Eve and can be a better side than the table suggests.
If only 2017 can bring the consistency Mark Hughes craved but failed to manage in 2016.
Defensively they are suspect, but Watford are slightly more generous at the back and can’t buy a win at the moment.
Why will that change now? Again I’m plumping for a home win, this time in a 🌟🌟 bet of Asian Handicap -1.00 Stoke City @ 2.44.
