Up to the oche is Week 3 winner Jamie Sellers – he has even playing field to gain glory or lose us a fiver…

Ok. Reading to hold Chelsea 1-1

Best odds available are around 15/2

As Arsene would say, bon chance!

Result: Lose! Down a fiver again…

Bet of the Week suddenly looks very realistic don’t it?!

Wayne C has suggested £5 on Croatia tomorrow and you can get odds of around 2/1 on most sites/bookies.

Result: WIN! We’re now evens.

Next up to try and win some money for us is Week 1 winner Mark J Brown. We’re £5 down after Simon L’s treble failed to come in, so it’s down to a bluenose scouser to change our fortunes.

I’m just worried that being an Evertonian, he’s just not used to winning things… can I bring myself to back Sp*rs? can you??!

Bet of the week:-

£5 double to win £14.25 (£19.25 in total)
Spurs to beat Portsmouth @ 5/6
Coventry v Plymouth (over 2.5 goals) @ 11/10

Odds from Sporting Bet

Result: Lost!

PAS punters,
First up for the season with the “this week I am mostly betting £5 on…” selection is our World Champion, Simon Lindquist.

If you followed all the selections last campaign, you would have been considerably in profit – so, dare you dabble?

Bet of the week:-

I’m definitely not a betting man (with the exception of P-A-S), so the fictional fiver will probably be in the red after week one. With that in mind I’ll go for an away treble of wins for Chelski, Man Ure and (picked from the Conference) Oxford Utd. Safety first!!

Personally, I’m not sure if he’s playing it safe or having a laugh – I’ll lump on anyways…

Result: Lost! :-(

Going into the last week, the betting syndicate pot is down to £3.75 and Will O hasn’t come back with any selections, so up steps our mystery masked “pro-punter” to put us back in profit (or not).

£2.50 treble – Newcastle/Preston/Cardiff – Returns £16.50

£2.50 HT/FT – Everton v Chelsea – Draw HT/Chelsea FT – Returns £10

Result: Lose! Down to -£1.25.

Now then. We currently stand at £3.75 to the good – I’ve prepared a bookie bashing Chrimbo hamper – gorge yerselves…

&pound3 win accumulator Man U, Spurs, Liverpool, Plymouth, Celtic and Gretna (potential return of £29)

£1 draw treble Chelsea, Birmingham and Walsall (potential return of £40)

50p draw accumulator Chelsea, Birmingham, Walsall and Rotherham (potential return of £68)

50p win accumulator Watford, Southampton, Nottm Forest and Villa (potential return of £18)

Result: Lose! Down to £3.75.

Our profits are falling fast as we enter the last three weeks – my lovely wifey has put a lot of thought into spending this weeks £5…

Leeds, Reading and Burnely to win.

If that ridiculous threesome comes in we’ll get back about £135 as it’s about 26/1 depending where you bet.

Result: Lose! Down to £8.75.

Next up to increase the profit and buck the trend of late is Greg “Best Disco In Town” Edwards – he’s a Liverpool supporting Gogg who would probably prefer to see us all lose a fiver than tip us a winner…

A home win triple: Aston Villa, Preston NE and Wrexham

I think he means a “treble” – £5 on that will pocket you around £44 – good luck!

Result: Lose! Down to £13.75.

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.

Currently £5 down – get yer money on the following kids!

Preston / Celtic / Gretna / Morton / East Fife / Queens Park – £3 win accumulator (potential return £24.64)

Blackburn / Nottm For / Accrington – £1 draw treble (potential return £32.24)

Blackburn / Nottm For / Accrington / WBA – £1 draw accumulator (potential return £104.78)

Fingers crossed! And if we win, we’ll buy Ruby Grace a bib or summat…

Result: Lost! Now down a tenner!

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.
