Scoop6 and other dodgy bets

This is the day that I win money at last - and lots of it with a bit of luck.
Three sets of matches today - lunchtime, 3pm and evening kick offs - and I'm on them all.

First up is Arsenal at Man City. City are unbeaten at home but I expect that to end today. Celtic will be too strong for Killie who are in freefall and as much as I hate betting on the ridiculously unpredictable Coca-Cola championship I fancy Stoke to see off Cardiff by the odd-goal.

In the afternoon games St Mirren have hit a bit of form but United are a great price at 13-10. Derby got a point midweek but are still rank rotten and Birmingham badly need the points so home win there. Bolton are struggling so Reading should overtake them with a home win and I fancy West Ham to come good at Wigan.
Doncaster need to keep up the pressure on Swansea so will win at Milwall.
Five four-folds and one five-fold should do the trick.

I can't split Blackburn and Everton and Livi and Partick so a couple of draws there.

In the evening kick-0ffs under-fire Liverpool will beat Sunderland by a couple and Watford will get revenge on Wolves for their FA Cup defeat. Promotion is obviously the priority.

So, it's
Arsenal, Celtic and Stoke 4/1
Dundee United, Birmingham, Reading, West Ham, Doncaster for £140
Blackburn and Livi draws 10/1

Great start to the day. Celtic, Arsenal and Stoke all up.
I'll be re-investing part of my winnings with Liverpool/Watford double tonight

Blackburn and Livi draws - changed my £4 bet to a £2 bet so only get £21 back.
If I'd put this double and treble from earlier as an accy I'd have won £300.
Still, I'm £47 up for the day and if Liverpool and Watford do the business I'll get another £27 back.

And Liverpool and Watford do the business and The Editor gets his third coupon of the day up.
That's 7 results I accurately predicted today.
My God, what an accumulator that could have been.

While I can't afford to pay off the mortgage after getting three lines up at the weekend it was nice to get some money back from Mr Bookie for a change.
There are a few games on tonight and I fancy Aberdeen to see off Dundee United in the CIS semi. They struggled without Barry Robson on Saturday and think it could be more of the same tonight. I fear it may go to extra-time but backing the Dons at 6/4 nonetheless.
Motherwell will be too strong for Dundee (if the game goes ahead), Lincoln had a great result on Saturday and should follow that up with a win at Macclesfield tonight. Rochdale at home to Barnet looks like a home banker and Stockport should have too much for fourth bottom bury.

Tips: Aberdeen, Motherwell, Lincoln, Rochdale, Stockport (38/1)
5 four-folds and 1 five-fold.
