If the 5 win this weekend the return will be terrific. It is difficult to fancy a couple of them but it is always dangerous to change your bet mid stride so I am sticking to it.
The 5 are Southampton 7/2, Sheffield United 17/10, QPR 11/8, Hull 4/5 & Peterhead 8/11. The recommended bet is a £5 accumulator and it will return £443.58. (Odds from www.bet365.com)

Fixed Odds

Everton v Wolves has draw written all over it. Wolves have been putting together a decent run of results but Everton don't concede too much at home. 12/5 is decent value.

Leeds are having a terrible time and there is no reason for them to feel optimistic this week. Bolton 2/1, can grab 3 valuable points and add to the sense of doom at Elland Road.

Liverpool 13/10, need to get 3 points this weekend otherwise Mr Houllier could be heading for the job centre. It won't be an easy 3 points but the odds are tempting.

Motherwell 10/11,Have been getting a decent run together and should see off Livi to continue it.

Notts County 6/4, may not be eveyones idea of a banker but Brighton are on a downward spiral and I think 6/4 is fantastic value.

Recommended Bet: 5x £1 4 Timers + £2 Acc. Pays £439.41(www.bet365.com)

Spread Betting

I know some bears just don't like betting on a certain mob who wear green and white but this is about winning money. Ce**ic travel to Tannadice for an early KO tomorrow. The spread market that has caught my eye is shirt numbers, currently 37-40 with www.bethilo.com.
Anything other than a comfortable victory for the away team will, unfortunately, be a shock. Given that Liam Miller wears a number 43(I think) on his jersey one goal from him puts us straight into profit. I suggest a £1 BUY on this market, your max loss is £40 if nobody scores but that would be a major shock.
A 3 or 4 goal win, or even a 2-2 draw should see a tidy profit.
