Betting Spy: Everton to profit at stuttering Spurs

Betting Spy is having the luck of a Chinese stockbroker so far this season.

But this game is all about perseverance and I think there’s a decent price to be had for Everton to win away at Spurs.

The “crisis” at Chelsea and ups and downs at Arsenal and West ham seem to have allowed Spurs’ stuttering start to the season to slip under the radar.

Two draws and a defeat is not the flying start Tottenham would have hoped for and a lack of new faces seems to be the problem.

I’m sure chairman Daniel Levy will make more moves in the transfer market before the window shuts.

But that will come too late for this weekend when Everton come calling.

The Toffees were undone by Man City last week but the previous 3-0 win on the road at Southampton was a real eye-catcher.

Romelu Lukaku is a streaky striker who seems to have hit a bit of form and is just the type of player to trouble Spurs’ defence.

The visitors are a rather tempting 3/1 and that looks like the way to go.

I can’t sign-off without mentioning West Ham’s latest defeat by Bournemouth.

Now Carl Jenkinson and Aaron Cresswell were superb for most of last season.

But it looked like they had been replaced by Laurel and Hardy last week at full back.

I haven’t seen a defensive display that comical since the last time I reluctantly agreed to turn out for my local Sunday pub side after an all-night session at the bar.

West Ham are another team who need to make more moves in the transfer market as their squad is looking very thin.

It’s a big year for the Hammers. Staying in the Premier League in their new Olympic home will double the value of the club to £400m+

Relegation would be unthinkable.

My current record says I don’t know much about gambling.

But I do know the owners need to risk a few more quid on new players to make sure the unthinkable never happens.
