Scoop6 and other dodgy bets

Doubled my money yesterday so cheeky wee fiver on today ... I was tempted with Bolton to beat Liverpool but gone for the draw (12/5) Everton (5/6) at home to Pompey, QPR (6/4) to beat Stoke and Forest (4/5) to beat Carlisle.
I didn't realise Forest game wasn't till tomorrow so hopefully the other three will come up and i'll have an interest tomorrow night. Need any 3 from 4.
I've backed stoke to win two recently and they lost so no doubt they will get back to winning ways today.

Scoop6 and other dodgy bets

Was given a tip from a friend of mine earlier ..... get a sections coupon and pick six or seven 'certs' from the first section.
I stuck a fiver on Man U, Chelsea, MK Dons, Peterboro, Aldershot, Essex and the mighty Salisbury and they all came up for £45.
Doubled my money for the day. To celebrate and to give me an interest I've stuck Marseilles, Caen, Barca, Real and Sevilla on for tonight.

Tales from the tabs

Some funny newspaper stories from today's tabloids ...


KNOCKOUT TELLY
A girl aged three was KOd by a TV lobbed out a window by a man whose wife switched off the football in Slovakia.

MUMMY AND CABBIE
Parents clock up 1,600 miles a year acting as a taxi service for their kids, an AA study has shown.

GETTING WORKED UP
Four in five people suffer "work rage" in the office with most saying anger usually built up because workmates were not pulling their weight, a survey reveals.

Scoop6 and other dodgy bets

I could do with a winner today after a disappointing week (always seems to happen after a decent win)
First up is Celtic at Hibs and I'll go for the Hoops (4/7) as they need the win. This is a far bigger game than the Barcelona game so they must have their eye on the ball. Double it up with a Man City/Wigan draw at 5/2.

Long-shot accy of the day is Chelsea, Man U, Norwich, Swansea and Doncaster which pays 28/1.

My main line is Caley (11/8) at home to Hearts, Ross County (Evs), Stenhousemuir (10/11) and on-form St Mirren (2/1) at Kilmarnock.
Four £1 trebles and a four-fold. All up for £75.

Elsewhere, I'm going Norwich (4/5) Preston (13/10) Northampton (8/11) MK Dons (2/5) and Peterboro (4/9)
Usual 4-folds and a 5-fold for £60.

A £1 accy on on the last two lines would pay a lot.
