The Anytime Notebook

A welcome return to the post-nations league EFL where Northern Ireland centre halfs were the star of the show during the break. Gavin and john back to rule the roost over the goalscoring card in the EFL. Be Lucky.

Good episode this. John and Gavin once again joined by Phil Smith to talk how those early August opinions are holding up in late September. We tackle the Ourights and Top Scorer across the EFL as well as some bonus EPL and Europa League opinions. Unbelievably, we've found some bets as well. Be Lucky

Back at it indeed. John and Gavin going back to the well to run through the goalscorer card in the EFL. Be Lucky

Nine bets across the weekend in that rarest of moments, players you like at the prices you want. John and Gavin take us through the Exotic Goalscorer Cards in the EFL this week. Be Lucky.

A well earned break for Jb so a podcast devut to the man taking on the burden keeping the Notebook Substack alive with winners. Sam from Mansfield Musing a great guest and a big fan of the 'Goal Method'. Some nuggets in here as we mark your card for the weekend.

13 losers on the spin, new listeners look worries, fear not my punting friends, take comfort from the regulars who have seen it all before and JUST KNOW there's a non-runner lurking round the corner. John and Gavin with the names new and old from the Anytime Notebook.

Be Lucky

A joyful stumble through the EFL coupon covering what we saw, what we thought and how we will make it pay. A trappy weekend of 90 minute sample sizes informing brazen assumptions, just the way we like it.

Be Lucky

One hour of Classic Notebook. We rattle off JBs Antepost Book including the best even money shot money can buy, then it's into Match Day One. John has history with rampaging wingers in August while one Norwich Centre Half loves the sun on his back. 

Good to be back. Be Lucky

Not long now. Welcome to the Anytime Notebook, home of the Notebook Antepost Guide, available for £8.95 from the internet. Gavin is joined by friend of the show Steve Freeth to look at the joys of being first to price up, set the narrative and see the early money. We talk preseason form, clubs catching the eye and paying out on Aune Heggebo in October.

Be Lucky.

Another 45 minutes in the compnay of Phil Smith, John Bywater and Gav, covering the Championship, League One and League Two Top Goalscorer Markets where not a single bet has been laid across the country.

We profile the contenders, discuss the opening prices and get ready to press GO.

It's that podcast you remember, +17.25pts for the season and all it took was for us to not have a bet for 3 months. Pleasure to see in the final coupon of the season with John, including jokes.

[Donald] Love is in the air. Petrol Stations marking up their [Tim] Flowers. A reduced coupon due to more than enough EFL teams being far too ambitious and playing in the FA Cup 4th Round. Nothing of the sort here, all we hear is, Radinio Balker.

Be Lucky.

Best thing about bad beats is after the dramatic sense of misjustice you console yourself knowing you must be SEEING IT LIKE A BEACHBALL. We go again.

Be Lucky

Turns out “we’ll be back next week” was a bit optimistic. After a short break that turned into a long one, The Anytime Notebook is back. Still chasing anytime scorers, still talking ourselves into bets we probably shouldn’t, and still pretending this is the week we’ve cracked the puzzle. Be Lucky.

Let's see out 2025 in the same way as we welcomed it in, by picking out the value losers on the EFL Goalscorer Coupon to the sound of Crosswits.

Happy New Year when we get there, lots of love, Gavin and John.

We're back to moan about antepost positions and Sondre Langas prices. A joyous return for the bookmaker's friends John and Gavin as they run the rule over the runners and riders in the EFL.

Be Lucky

The Second Round of the FA Cup gets the Notebook treatment, and by treatment we mean a few throwaway bets that won't fit in a spreadsheet unless they win. There's Championship action as well, games at Charlton and Southampton come under scrutiny PLUS the OTB Bet of the Week.

Be Lucky

If you wanted a 6 minute ramble about why Rotherham vs Wycombe is the sneaky best game in League One then you've come to the right place. We talk EFL goalscorers, EFL stickers and EFL podcasts.

Be Lucky.
