Though I'm still in with a chance....if Atletico Madrid can snatch it against Chelsea !!

3-0 to Chelsea so far lol

[CitrusSR]

This weekends fail bet:

Wolverhampton v Aston Villa

Coventry v West Brom

Hartlepool V Tranmere


£10 pays about £80

[aaron1005]

Value bets:

Wolves v Aston Villa
Plymouth v Ipswich
Derby v QPR

£10 pays just under £155. I'm pretty sure that those 3 will come in and if not only 1 will lose.

Now take those teams and add 2 home teams (this being a £5 bet).

P'boro v S'thorpe
Swansea v Blackpool

All those 5 team swill get you just over £360, for £5.

Other notables are that Charlton are away to Gillingham at 5/4

Ok, here's my attempt.

Birmingham v Sunderland

I like Sunerland this weekend at 6/4. Steve Bruce against his old club, especially after the way they parted, will really want to win that one. Sunderland are in great form at the moment. 3 wins and 1 draw in there last 4 games, inc. victory over Liverpool and an unlucky stoppage time draw against Man Utd at Old Trafford.

Birmingham's lack of goals is a real issue for them. They have home advantage, but they've recorded 4 loses from there last 4 games and only 2 league wins all season. Not to mention they got beat 2-0 by Sunderland in the Carling cup just a month ago. Worth a punt at those odds I think.

Tottenham v Stoke

Tottenham seems like a good choice for a win this weekend. Tottenham look really good at home, scoring freely and there good early form see's them sitting 3rd in the Premiership as a result. Stoke are playing well at the moment but seem to struggle when away from the Britannia Stadium. Stoke have also only beaten Tottenham once in 29 attempts at White Hart Lane. So with that I'll go for Tottenham to win at 4/9.

With odds at around 5/2 for the double.

[aaron1005]

You won't get 5/2 for that, lol.

[easychips]

Um, yes you will. Do your maths or put them into an online bookie if you can't do it yourself.

I said around 5/2 for simplicty and to allow price fluctuations from the bookies.

5/2 = 2.5/1

From William Hills bet slip(6/4,4/9), Win @ 2.61/1
From Betfred, with there odds(7/5,4/9), double @ 2.467/1

Hence me saying odds around 5/2. Simple right, obviously not for you.

[aaron1005]

4/9+6/4 is less than 5/2.

Glad I went into bookies earlier, because again I didn't realise that there was an early kick off.

Just won another £1000 on horse racing though.

[CitrusSR]

I got 1 out of 3 right, the other two were draws.

Aaron got 2 out of 5.

Easychips 0 out of 2.

Damn, we're good!

See you next week

[aaron1005]

I've just told you that you won't get 5/2 for them and you won't. If you put £20 on those two to win you wouldn't get £70 back.

[CitrusSR]

Tricky to find any games I fancied this weekend. But I seem to keep failing so thought I'd whack a tenner on a treble anyway:


Coventry v Reading

Carlisle v Charlton

Stoke v Wolves


Bold teams ftw. £10 pays £96.80
