This article provides a recap for the month of October 2024. All of these betting suggestions were published in David's Daily football previews.
Check out the performance of David's full football betting history here.
During the previous month of September, the highest odds picked in these previews was the 7/1 odds for the winning bet on BTTS double with PaddyPower on the 16th of the month. However, there was also an odds-on loss at 2/1-on for Dinamo Minsk (W) (against Peamount) that got the month off to a terrible start. The month ended with a decent Thursday afternoon on 26th September when we had two doubles which both landed at odds of 7/2 and 4/1. There was also a 7/1 double with WilliamHill on 30th September that won (at 8.12 decimal odds).
So far in October, the highest odds picked in these previews was the decimal odds of 15.5 for the winning bet on a Correct Score 2-2 Draw in the Catanzaro vs Modena match on the 6th of the month.

Result: Loss
Bet: Crystal Palace to Win 1-0
Odds Available: 23.00
Early Saturday afternoon and we are back with the English Premier League at 12:30pm for a match that on paper looks unremarkable. It's a top-versus-bottom affair when Crystal Palace (3 points from 6 games) welcome Liverpool (15 points from their six) to Selhurst Park.
While getting off to a perilous start to the season with three draws and three losses from their six games so far, it would be a literal turn-up for the books for them to reverse their fortunes against a rampaging Liverpool side. The Reds have scored 12 and only conceded twice in their six games to date.
14-April-2024: Liverpool 0-1 Crystal Palace - Reds suffer huge blow in Premier League title race with defeat at Anfield.
While it is important to highlight that Liverpool claimed a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture last season, securing the win with a dramatic late comeback, it must also be noted that Palace have avoided defeat in three of their last four Premier League encounters with Liverpool. Under Oliver Glasner’s guidance, Palace secured a notable 1-0 victory at Anfield last season, with Eberechi Eze scoring the decisive goal.
And looking back further, Palace have scored 33 times over the course of their last 13 home games. They've also kept a clean-sheet in 5 of their last 7 home matches. At the top of the table, Liverpool are highly fancied at around 2/1-on but we are picking The Eagles to get the upset win at 11/2 (6.50) and a side-bet on the 1-0 Correct Score odds of 22/1 (23.00). It will be their first win of this season's campaign and one that most pundits will not see coming. Odds available with WilliamHill.
Result: Loss
Bet: BTTS No
