14-08-2010 1:55am#1The sport I make most of my money out of
Each week I'm going with 2 doubles and a fourfold (hopefully)
Aim is if it comes off I will be in profit for 8 weeks; if only 1 double comes off it should be still close to double the amount I put on for the week
First Double:
Everton 6/4 (vs Blackburn)
Sunderland 11/10 (vs Birmingham)
Everton are going to be strong contenders for a top 6 position this year and possibly even a top 4. They have a great goalkeeper, solid back 4, a fantastic midfield and a livewire Saha if he stays fit.
Blackburn have a very good home record but Everton managed to beat them here last season and they should have enough to do it again. Blackburn have had a very poor pre-season and without a fit Samba their defence will leak goals.
Sunderland are not a team to set the world alight but they should have more than enough to beat Birmingham. Bent will be hopefully fit tomorrow but if not the ever improving Frazer Campbell and the new loan signing of Welbeck should break the Birmingham defence.
Birmingham had a great season last year but I believe it was all down to Joe Hart. He organised and commanded the defence brilliantly. Luckily for me he has left and they have instead brought in Ben Foster, a very average goalie who is struggling to be fit for this match. This season they should leak goals and with a very poor attacking front they should cause little to no threat for the toffees
€100 Double returns €525
Second Double:
Watford 5/4 (vs Coventry)
Sheffield Wed 11/8 (vs Colchester)
Watford have a better squad, good home form and look to have a chance at promotion this year. They also have one of the best goalkeepers in the championship. Coventry are a decent team with a good core of players but should be no match for Watford.
Sheffield are looking to be serious contenders this season and will want to win here. They have a great set of fans who really make it a lot easier for a team to play away from home. Colchester are a decent team but without their keeper Ben Williams they will leak goals as their defence is shakey at best
€100 double returns €534
And finally the €50 accum. All four teams to win returns a lovely €1402
Here is hoping for a bright start to the season

An interesting day which I have a few teams in my head
Sunderland (2/1)
Portsmouth (8/5)
QPR (1/2)
Bristol City (1/1)
Hull (1/1)
Cardiff (4/5)
Southampton (1/2)
Sheff Wed (5/6)
Cardiff, Sheff Wed and and QPR really standout to me
(100 treble returns close to 500)
Hull, Bristol and Southampton should win
(100 treble returns over 500)
For a 50 accum returns 1300
I'm not backing the following but think it's good value:
Sunderland and Portsmouth are great value against ****e opposition but touch and go with both, depends what team turns up
(50 double returns near 400)
And 50 accum returns over 10000
