Can the nappy factor inspire Jones Knows on the path to winners? He has two goalscorer bets to attack, including a 200/1 shot.
Much has changed since my last betting escapade, where my under 2.5 goals play in Manchester United vs Brentford summed up the mood and the overall results of -4 returns across the weekend. Scott McTominay, you absolute McNugget.
And, Everton to win and under 2.5 goals at 4/1 vs Bournemouth did make me laugh. A 3-0 win for the Toffees there, of course.
I haven't given up on the game, far from it.
It's just that my mind, body and soul has been occupied by the arrival of my second child, who was unleashed into the world on Monday. You think seeing an under 2.5 goal bet lose with two goals in stoppage time makes for uncomfortable viewing, try being front row for an emergency C-section. Give me 1,000 replays of the McTominay double or that Everton third goal.
However, unlike at Old Trafford there was a bundle of joy at the end of the ordeal as Jude Jones Knows is safe and well, with mum in fine form considering the dramatic arrival.
He's got the game in his veins too judging by our early exchanges. During a night feed administered by dad I'm convinced he muttered through the darkness: «James Garner, goal, Anfield.» Either the kid is the next Tony Bloom or I'm just majorly sleep deprived. Children are the future, supposedly. So best go with it.
