L13 Winter 2006 : Week 9 – BotW

Written by

Ciaran McG has run screaming to the Wicklow mountains at the thought of submitting a “suggested flutter” so I’ll take up the task this week (I’m nice like that!)

£2 win accumulator on Arsenal / Chelsea / Bristol City / Accrington Stanley (should return about £12)

£2 away win double on Liverpool / Plymouth (should return about £12)

£1 correct score on Chelsea 5 West Ham 1 (should return £41 if you back it on Sporting Odds – Ladbrokes we’re offering 20’s!) – I had a dream/nightmare last night where I was in a pub (natch) and had money on Chelsea 5-0 when someone watching Geoff Stelling cheerily piped up that West Ham had scored a last minute goal…..

Result: Lost! Down to £18.75.

If you have followed every tip posted for the last 7 weeks you’ll be £28.75 up – looking to improve on that is Week 7 winner Mark “Fade to” Grey, who, I believe, is “Citeh til he dies…”

Double – City to beat Newcastle & West Ham to beat Middlesbrough

£5 on Blue Square will net you £30.19 as things stand.

If I told you Mark won £9million on this years World Cup, would you trust his judgement?

Result: Lose! Down to £23.75.

We’re back on an even keel – next up to try and put us in profit is Week 6 winner Olly “Gunnar” Osmond…

As far as the Bet of the Week is concerned, how about a win double for Charlton and Watford. Both have obviously struggled, but looking at their opposition (City and Boro) I feel it might just be the right time to register a win each.

At odds of around 4.75/1 you’ll have £28.75 in your pocket, if it comes in – happy punting!

Result: Win! We’re now £28.75 to the good.

As Steve T is ALWAYS late for everything (baby or no baby) I’ve gone for professional help to get our betting profits up to scratch. So our mystery pro punter has gone for this little selection…

Double your money special!!!

£5 on Sunderland to beat the dreadful Hull City and combine this with an easy Chelsea formality.

£5 = £10

Sunderland are 6/4 to win at Hull

Chelsea are 1/3 to win at Sheffield Utd

Ok it’s not the most lucrative wager but it’s easy money.

Result: Win! Clean slate due to Mackem & Chelsea double.

For the last time this season… Sob!

Bets of the Week from from our joint winners last week – first up Dave Nicklin…

Why does it have to happen to me? North London derby, Chelski at home to Loonypool & old firm game all in one week. Bloody typical.

Ok, excuses for losing another £5 out of the way, so here goes (Ladbrokes.com odds):

PREM: Newcastle vs West Brom
Newcastle @ 8/15
CHAMP: Crystal Palace vs Southampton
Crystal Palace @ 8/11
CHAMP: Wolves vs Brighton
Wolves @ 4/6
CHAMP: Leeds vs Crewe
Leeds @ 8/13
LGE1: Swindon vs Brentford
Brentford @ 6/5

Accumulator Potential Return: £78.44

…and next to Margaret Ashworth…

…well after much thought I have gone for a five fold – put £5 on preston (17/11), birmingham (13/5), bolton (10/11), notts forest (11/10), and man city (12/5) to win. theres a couple of interesting ones in there but if it comes off we will be quids in! (£624!)

Have a good weekend – can you afford not to follow the bets?!

Cheers,
Pab

Michelle F steps up to the oche and decides to waste £5 on the following…

Treble on Spurs (7/4), Pompey (4/5) and PNE (7/4)

If, and it’s a big if, it comes in, you’re looking at around £68 I think.

Have a good Easter,
Pab

We’re £8.35 up but it’s Tapiwa M next up, so I reckon we’ll be back down to £3.35 on Monday – I’ll let him explain…

Wassup! Ever since I was a little pickney growing up in Zimbabwe I knew I was a Scouser at heart, so that’s why I moved to London to mix with all the other true Reds.

Anyway, a few of them actually started to go to at least one game at Anfield every two years or something mad like that so I had to hot foot it up to Mancland, where no one in right mind would venture “west” to home of 5 Big Cups.

I love it in my armchair, I really got behind the boys on that unforgettable night last May…

My bet this week is £2.50 on a scorecast of Liverpool 2-0/Carragher 1st scorer and £2.50 on Liverpool 2-0/Kewell 1st scorer. Later lah!

Result: LOSER!

Remember our recruitment campaign for the World Cup – get 'em signed up.

Buenos Weekendio! I'm off to Derby to watched AJ crash a hat-trick in a 0-3 win…

Cheers,
Pab

After the mix-up mare of Week 7, it emerged that Jon Tofeili was the correct winner and therefore responsible for redressing our £30 deficit – over to the bookies favourite Geordie…

If you do this, for a £5 stake you will get £38.19, about 8-1

Thought I’d justify my selections…

  • Think on form Arsenal who are pushing for 4th will be too strong for Charlton on Saturday.
  • Bolton… well they are playing the scum at home (need I say more)
  • Man Utd are playing well and should win… unless Fergie takes a bung for his old mate Robson.
  • Colchester aren’t too clever lately but I expect them to turn Swindon over as they need to open up a gap on Oldham who beat them last week to consolidate their position in the play-offs.
  • Grimsby are on form and beat barnet at home last week 3-0. Fancy a repeat against a poor Bury side.
  • Finally Aberdeen to beat Livingston. Simply cos their playing Livingston who are sh*te.
  • Note: Celtic weren’t on my coupon but I’d take them to beat Inverness.

My Bet… put on today on bet365.com

Arsenal v Charlton
(Full Time Result) Arsenal 3/10
Bolton v Sunderland
(Full Time Result) Bolton 1/3
West Brom v Man Utd
(Full Time Result) Man Utd 1/2
Colchester v Swindon
(Full Time Result) Colchester 8/15
Grimsby v Bury
(Full Time Result) Grimsby 1/2
