Well Aberdeen did score but it wasn't Aluko as they lost 5-1.
However Mulgrew did score for them and apparently is a dead ball specialist, one for the notebook me thinks.
Oh well, 1 point down but early days.

GSI selection - Bet #1
Here is a BettingZone goalscorer tip for Aberdeen v Sigma Olomouc in Europa league.
[30.7.09]
1 point @ 11/4 - Skybet - Sone Aluko to score anytime
BettingZone reason (by Chris Hammer)
In their most recent games Sone Aluko has shown encouraging signs up front with two goals and the Nigerian international will be no doubt keen to maintain this form heading into the forthcoming SPL season.
The forward picked up a minor niggle in the friendly with Dundee but is expected to retain his place in the line-up at Pittodrie.
He's available at 11/4 to score anytime with Sky Bet and we think that could prove better value than the 6/5 about the hosts winning what could be a pretty tight contest.

What's this all about then?
Hello and welcome to the off shoot of my footygeek blog called GSI.
GSI stands for Goal Scoring Investment and is my experiment into the risky world of goal scoring bets.
These type of bets is how I first got into football betting and I can remember the joy and I fun had in backing these scorers during those early days. The amazing feeling of watching Gillingham v Palace one Sunday afternoon and 33/1 first scorer come off is something I've been looking for a while.
Now older and wiser I know these type of bets very rarely come off and should be avoided as the bookies have the percentages in their favour.
However, I still have that feeling I have an instinct to find some goal scoring wonders, especially after many years of fantasy football success. The names of Redfearn, Phillips and Cahill have pocketed me many points and hopefully these type of players can pocket me profit as well.
As I've said, this will be an experiment for the season and hopefully I can study match reports and players from games and spot when they come 'in-form'.
I will stick mainly to anytime goal scorers unless value is found in an each way first goal scorer or any special markets appeal such as match bets (e.g. Owen v Torres).
Also we will lay down some inital bets anti-post for each divisions top goal scoring crown, and monitor and add to the pot as seems fit. We may even trade some positions, such as Zaki last season who started well but failed to score after Christmas.
Finally, I will be backing all goal scoring selections from BettingZone.co.uk, as they always seem to hit the mark quite often and was another reason why I thought this system could work.
All data will be stored in a nice spreadsheet and I will try and report monthly figures so far.
So hopefully I can provide some good insight into all things goal scoring and make some money on the way.
