My bets for today were:
£50 on Chelsea, Man United, Peterborough, Darlington, and Birmingham on Monday.
Returns: £333.47.
Covered it with £50 on Villareal, who had beautiful odds of 6/5 away at Bilbao. They ran out 4-1 winners so I'm a tenner up for the weekend, with a nice chance of being a good few hundred up if Birmingham beat Coventry.

I've never understood why people go for these bets. I know it's "only a quid", but realistically are you ever going to win? I did them a few times when I was at Uni and put a fiver on every time but never won. Sure, there's a massive return, but that's for a good reason.
Next weekend, why don't you put your quid on a tidy little fourfold, at say, odds of 6/1? Following week, put the £7 you've won on a straight-forward treble worth, say, 4/1. That'll give you £35 to play with next week that you could put on a single game and double your money to around £70.
I know it's long-winded but it'll pay-out far better than these incredible long-shots everyone seems to go for.
