Braeburn's Tenner - Week 22

I was going to write a witty and cutting piece that criticised the media response to Nicola Cortese leaving Southampton but I am too drunk. Instead Manchester City will stuff Cardiff and Andy Carroll will score against his old club. Night.

Split your tenner thusly, all bets placed with our good friends Bet Victor.

£2 at 13/2 on Andy Carroll to score the last goal at for West Ham v Newcastle. (returns £15)

Manchester City v Cardiff City
£2.48 on 2-0 at 13/2 (returns £18.60)
£2.48 on 3-0 at 13/2 (returns £18.60)
£1.90 on 4-0 at 9/1 (returns £19.00)
£1.14 on 5-0 at 16/1 (returns £19.38)

Week 21 starting balance: £73.22

Braeburn's Tenner - Week 21

It is a long time since Braeburn's Tenner signed off for Christmas with it's second losing week in a row. None of the teams in the treble obliged with Saints, Reading and Brighton all failing to pick up the three points. However, it could all have been so very different had Cardiff City not picked up a second half consolation at Anfield. Let's hope for better luck this week.

Bet 1 - The Trixie

This week I'm going for a risky looking trixie to kick things off. We'll back Cardiff to draw with West Ham, Sunderland to win at Fulham and Millwall to pick up three points in Ian Holloway's first game in charge away at Huddersfield. The treble is worth 58/1 so we'll be very happy if just two of these risky selections come in.

Bet 2 - Correct Score Spread

Spurs may have won at Man United last time out in the league but they looked pretty toothless against Arsenal in the cup last weekend and so I think it could be a tough afternoon against Crystal Palace at White Hart Lane. Tony Pulis will shut the game down hoping to escape with a point so we'll use £6 to cover 0-0, 1-0, 1-1 and 0-1. See how to split the money below


£1 trixie (£4 total) with bet365 on Cardiff and West Ham to draw at 5/2, Sunderland to beat Fulham at 14/5 and Millwall to beat Huddersfield at 7/2. (returns £106).

Spurs v Crystal Palace with betVictor
£2.30 on 1-0 @ 6/1 (returns £16.10)

£0.75 on 0-1 @ 19/1 (returns £15.00)
