    1 Schalke v H Rostock (Backing Schalke @ 1.38)
    2 Everton v Derby (Backing Everton @ 1.25)
    3 B Munich v Bochum (Backing B Munich @ 1.28)
    4 Sparta Prague v Ceske Budejovice (Backing Sparta Prague @ 1.21)
    5 Roma v Genoa (Backing The Draw OR Genoa @ 2.55)

    Pays 6.79.

    I fancy Genoa to nick at least a point against Roma as I think they will have an eye on the midweek game.

    be careful of relegation teams

    Feckin Genoa. Two down to Roma, bring it back to 2-2 then concede a peno with ten minutes to go. Disgusted.

    1 Ajax v De Graafschap (Backing Ajax @ 1.23)
    2 PSV v Heracles (Backing PSV @ 1.24)
    3 Atalanta v Inter (Backing Inter OR The Draw @ 1.2)
    4 Everton v Derby (Backing Everton @ 1.26)
    5 B Munich v Bochum (Backing B Munich @ 1.29)

    xavi, i've noticed over the months that your approach is always based on the strongest teams from around europe in 5/6 team accs. Does this work for you? I would imagine so given the strength of the teams? Generally only singles and doubles for me which works more often than not, just wondering how you fare in general. Might try your way for slightly higher odds.

    Well it's worked for me a fair bit. I'm not a big gambler by any means. It's more of a bit of fun with a fiver here and a tenner there. I've quadrupled my Betfair account in the last two months and it's very rare I'd have a losing week as if I lose the first bet of say 3/1 I'll cover it with a more likely bet of 2/1. Usually oick between 4 and 6 teams for at the very leasy 3/1 odds.

    Some people see it as pointless as your wins aren't massive but I'm not in it to win or risk big.

    I'd be of a similar mindset. I'm in no rush to get rich. Slow and steady will do me.:)

    Unlucky county - Watford must have decided to go on that not winning streak they were on for a month or so!
