Soccernet showdown

May 11, 2012

Each week we'll be asking our writers to place a £5 wager on their tip from the weekend's fixtures. We will be running a handy league table to show who's doing well, or not so well, to help you decide if you wish to follow the advice or avoid it like the plague.


* John Brewin: Chelsea will have their minds elsewhere as they take on already-relegated Blackburn with - presumably - a second-string team. John is tempted by odds of 10.00 for a Rovers win at bet365.

* Jon Carter: Manchester United slipped up on the final day in 1995 when they drew 1-1 with West Ham, and JC thinks they might have another day to forget at Sunderland. The Black Cats to win is available at odds of 7.50 with bet365.

* Dale Johnson: Having partied the night away and failed to file, we picked out a punishment bet for Dale, but he eventually sent one of his own through: he's backing Norwich to beat Aston Villa 2-0 with Grant Holt to score the first. Odds of QPR to 31.00 are available with bet365.

* Dom Raynor: It's going to take a whopper to put Dom at the top of the tree, so he's banking on an unlikely dream scenario for Manchester United: QPR to beat City and United to beat Sunderland is available at odds of 26.59 with bet365.

* Robin Hackett: If the definition of insanity is repeatedly attempting the same thing and expecting different results, Robin is insane. He's looking for over 2.5 goals in the game between Wigan and Wolves and bet365 offers odds of 6.00.

* Mark Lomas: Mark seems resigned to finishing the season in the red, but he seemingly believes Manchester United still have hope. He's gone for Djibril Cisse to score any time against City at odds of 4.75 with bet365.

* James Dall: Overdrawn Dall is making a last, desperate attempt to haul himself out of the mire: Demba Ba to score first and Newcastle to draw with Everton is available at odds of 26.00 at bet365.

* Rob Brooks: He's in pole position, but he's still gone for relatively substantial odds: Fulham to beat Champions League-chasing Tottenham is available at odds of 8.50 at bet365.

Current standings:

1. Rob Brooks: £98.80
2. Robin Hackett: £83.85
3. Dale Johnson: £2.00
4. Dom Raynor: -£13.00
5. Mark Lomas: -£30.00
6. John Brewin: -£39.90
7. Jon Carter: -£50.05
8. James Dall: -£83.00

Last season's standings:

1. Dom Raynor: £890.50
2. Jon Carter: £5.25
3. John Brewin: £5.00
4. Robin Hackett: -£8.90
5. Dale Johnson: -£11.00
6. Brett Taylor: -£54.50
7. Tom Adams: -£74.00
8. Mark Lomas: -£90.25
