Scoop6 and other dodgy bets

Another Saturday, another trip to Mr Bookie.

I'm going for four homes, four aways and a £1 accy.

Homes: Everton, Doncaster, Tranmere, Dumbarton
Aways: Burnley, St Johnstone, Cowdenbeath, East Stirling

Scoop6 and other dodgy bets

A few interesting games on tonight but I'm not touching Liverpool/Arsenal. Anything could happen there and I'd say the Gunners represent good value at 3/1.

Instead I'm focusing on the lower leagues and going for four aways - Barnsley, Cardiff, Scunthorpe and Wycombe.

Any 3 from 4, all up for 60 quid.

Come on!
