Last Weeks Returns: £0 Week 36 - 24 May 2008 - Football bet tips Just thought I'd try and wind the season up with a cheeky punt on the play-offs: Perhaps I'll have to rethink my strategy for next year. If I'm still in employment. Bet 1 Hull vs Bristol City - Bristol City @2/1 Bet 2 Hull vs Bristol City - Dele Adebola @8/1 Bet 3 Hull vs Bristol City - Bristol City 3 - 1 @28/1 Adieu my fiends. Week 35 - 3 May 2008 - Football bet tips As the season draws to a close, I'm just over £100 quid down over the whole term, and I have to blame somebody. Today I'm using the powers of my own mind to pick some doozies for the final weekend. Oh dear! Bet 1 Crystal Palace vs Bristol City - Draw @5/2 I pity the fool that doesn't back this one. Bet 2 Everton vs Newcastle - Draw @11/5 I like this one, but I aint gettin on no plane. Bet 3 Birmingham vs Blackburn - James McFadden @6/1 Bet on this, You crazy fool. Bet 4 Derby vs Reading - Derby 3 - 2 @50/1 Mr Ladbroke is taking one on the chin from Clubber Lang here. And for my last trick Bet 5 Birmingham vs Blackburn - Draw @5/2 Finish the season off with a bang I'll be back at strategic points over the coming months with some more crazy predictions for you, so keep tuning in. Mint. Week 34 - 3 May 2008 - Football bet tips The season is in danger of petering out into oblivion after Ronald Coleman couldn't provide me with a winner last week. Anyhooze, wrong name or not, he's not being allowed another go this week, and seeing as I'm in a desperate mood for a winner, I've used the ole ouija board to good effect to attract a real big hitter. This week - Adolf Hitler. Bet 1 Chesterfield vs Notts County - Notts County @10/3 Normally good at picking the away trips, our Adolf. Bet 2 Carlisle vs Bournemouth - Carlisle @4/5 These surely can't go down like the Bismark. Bet 3 Fulham vs Birmingham - Moritz Volz @25/1 The first two there are definitely under direct orders from the Fuhrer. Bet 4 Manchester Utd vs West Ham - Manchester Utd 4 - 2 @66/1 He did go a bit mad towards the end didn't he? Gadzooks! Week 33 - 26 April 2008 - Football bet tips Hmmmm, I'm a bit disappointed that whilst I've been picking my own bets for the last two weeks I've not brought a bean in, and some fat hairy bloke from Canada has been issuing challenges to pick better tips than me. In times of trouble, always go back to what you know best. This week, Ronald Coleman, who was The Man Who Broke The Bank at Monte Carlo. Good start. Bet 1 West Ham vs Newcastle - Draw @9/4 Mustard. Mr Coleman. Bet 2 Leicester vs Sheffield Weds - Sheff Weds @12/5 Mr Coleman told me that his mate Clive of India helped with this selection. Or was it Clive in the Indian? Bet 3 Tottenham vs Bolton - Robbie Keane @9/2 Rather dashing that Ronald. Bet 4 Sunderland vs Middlesbrough - Sunderland 3 - 1 @18/1 That one should break the bank at Monte Carlo. Or Ladbrokes. Whip-crackaway. Week 32 - 19 April 2008 - Football bet tips Well, I wasn't feeling myself last week. I am feeling myself this week, and I'm feeling damn hairy and in the mood to take Mr Ladbroke, Mr Coral & Mrs Paddypower to the cleaners this week. My mum's told me to keep away from the ouija board anyway. I think she's hidden it in the attic, so I'll have to pick em myself this week again.... Bet 1 Blackpool vs Sheffield Weds - Draw @11/5 Bet 2 Carlisle vs Southend - Carlisle @10/11 Bet 3 Watford vs Crystal Palace - Crystal Palace @7/4 Bet 4 Middlesbrough vs Bolton - Middlesbrough 3 - 2 @25/1 It's good to be back Week 32 - 12 April 2008 - Football bet tips Jack Palance picked some real beauties last week but didn't organise them properly into winning bets. I mean he got three draws out of four but put all his eggs in one basket by picking a straight four timer accumulator. Jesus Christ, Jack. Four draws out of four. Nobody can pluck that bet out of the proverbial hat. He also had to settle for the runners up enclosure in the Grand National. But for all the hard luck stories we were still left with just another big fat zero. This week I'm picking everything myself, just to prove to the doubters that Minty is still the man, the man with the midas touch, a spiders touch. Bet 1; 4 Homes Hartlepool to beat Millwall @ 10/11 £4 Accumulator Bet 2; 2 Draws Charlton v Southampton @ 23/10 £3 Double Bet 3; Lucky 31 Correct Scores Tottenham 3 Middlesbrough 2 @ 25/1 31 bets @ 10p each. Total Stake = £3.10 You can tell that The Mint is back in the saddle looking at those rapscallions can't you? How good am I? Come back next week and find out. (Extra Strong) MINT Week 31 - 5 April 2008 - Football bet tips Rubbish, that's all I can say about last week. Anyway, undeterred, I'm soldiering on with my ouija board, and I actually spotted a spooky apparition sat alongside Alex Ferguson on the bench against Roma midweek. Sat on his left was Nick Heywood from Haircut 100, but I'm not going with him this week, as he's not dead. At least I don't think he is. More spookily, sat on Alex's right was Jack Palance, who I can assure you is most definitely dead. At least his spirit form claims to be dead. He might just be acting, you never know.... Volodymyr Palahnyuk to his friends, Sir Jack of Palance to you & me. Bet 1 Blackburn vs Tottenham - Draw @12/5 Palahnyuk must be a Nigerian name. Bet 2 Colchester vs Ipswich - Colchester @2/1 I like the cut of your jib Jackie baby. Bet 3 Manchester City vs Chelsea - Manchester City 2 - 0 @20/1 Sooper Dooper Jack. Bet 4 Jackie boy has a £1 left and it's going on King John's Castle at 16/1. Quality. By the way, how good was Mr Palance in the weirdest film ever, Hawk the Slayer? Shabba Week 30 - 29 March 2008 - Football bet tips I'm not happy with the level of tipping by my recent dead celebrity pickers, so I've had to go back over past performance this week to try and find us a sharp practitioner of puntery from beyond the grave. My studies show that Jimi Hendrix is way out in front having contributed more than £200 of the total pot this season, and most success seems to have come from drug induced madmen. So, this week: Bet 1 Derby vs Fulham - Derby @2/1 Derby have got to win soon. Bet 2 Sunderland vs West Ham - Draw @9/4 Ever been to Nigeria Keith? Bet 3 Bolton vs Arsenal - Theo Walcott @7/1 Nice Keith. Off the bench to score a late goal. Bet 4 Bolton vs Arsenal - Arsenal 4 - 2 @50/1 Jesus Christ Keith. I knew you were mad, but come on. I was looking for a job, and I found a job. Week 29 - 22 March 2008 - Football bet tips A shameful attempt by Glenda Jackson last week left us with nothing to celebrate at all, so she's well and truly sacked this week. Mint has gone back to the tried and tested collaboration with people that are really dead. This week, Tony Hancock (Made famous by Vic & Bob for being the only man named after 4 body parts), steps into the spotlight. Bet 1 Middlesbrough vs Derby - Derby @6/1 Jesus Christ Tony, no wonder you were depressed. Bet 2 Preston vs Burnley - Draw @11/5 Now that's better Tony. A chance of this one giving us a lift. Bet 3 Tottenham vs Portsmouth - Robbie Keane @9/2 Picked by your brother Herbie? Bet 4 Bolton vs Manchester City - Draw 2 - 2 @14/1 Magnificent there Tony, managing to sneak two cheeky 4-2's in there. I'll give you a pint of my blood if these com in. Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh Week 28 - 15 March 2008 - Football bet tips Beryl Reid got three out of four draws last week to bring in £19.29, to the delight of our Nigerian viewers. She is however not good enough to keep her place this week. Glenda Jackson has personally contacted Minty this week to offer her thoughts. Now, I know what you're thinking.... Glenda isn't dead, so what's she doing in the dead tipster's seat? Not dead Glenda, but what happened to you? As good as. Bet 1 Fulham vs Everton - Draw @11/5 Loveable scouser Glenda is not wishing to show favouritism towards any of her local clubs here. I suspect she's Tranmere 'til she dies. Nice one for the boys in Nigeria. Bet 2 Blackpool vs Preston - Preston @7/4 Not quite a Jackson 5, but I like it. Bet 3 Liverpool vs Reading - Steven Gerrard @9/2 Showing your red tendencies there Glenda with Stevie G? Bet 4 Derby vs Manchester Utd - Manchester Utd 4 - 2 @66/1 That is a touch of class Glenda. Pass the Dutchie. Week 27 - 8 March 2008 - Football bet tips Well, these big shot Yankee actors aren't much cop at picking winners are they. James Stewart & Johnny Wayne have amounted to diddleysquat in the last two outings, so I've re-tuned the ole ouija board to find a good old British star of yesteryear, who I'm sure will be more attuned to the footy results. This week's dead guest star is Beryl Reid. Quality. Bet 1 Shrewsbury vs Rotherham - Rotherham @8/5 How good was the beast in the cellar? Ask your dad. Bet 2 Blackpool vs Southampton - Draw @9/4 4 draws Beryl. Cheeky. Bet 3 Blackburn vs Fulham - Morten Gamst Pedersen @10/1 Beryl seems to be betting on her other son there. Bet 4 Liverpool vs Newcastle - Liverpool 3 - 2 @28/1 Go Beryl, go. Whassamaddayou, hey! Godda no respect? Week 26 - 1 March 2008 - Football bet tips Jimmy Stewart did pick us some dandy looking tips last week, but unfortunately there was no substance to them. In the harsh world of dead filmstar puntery, you are my son, sacked Jimmy. One of your acting chums is taking your place, however. Stepping up to the oche this week is Big John Wayne. Bet 1 Bristol City vs Hull - Hull @5/2 Yes Johnny, I can see that Hull are tigers and Wolves are sort of nearly tigers, but what the freaking hell are Stockport in there for? Bet 2 West Ham vs Chelsea - West Ham @7/2 At least these two are both called West, John. Bet 3 Everton vs Portsmouth - Tim Cahill @6/1 1/2 the odds if the Cahill sisters score one of the first three goals. Bet 4 Swindon vs Leeds - Swindon 3 - 2 @25/1 True grit shown there johnny. Nice. Bet 5 Arsenal vs Aston Villa - Gareth Barry @22/1 Big John reckons Villa are getting a pen, and Gareth is slotting it home. Yabba Dabba Doo. Week 25 - 23 Feb 2008 - Football bet tips Well, it has to be said that Laurel & Hardy did get the Mint into a fine mess last week with a zero return, for the first time in about nine weeks. As a consequence I've been feverishly bashing my ouija board to attract a real big player from the world of dead actors. I think I hit the jackpot late last night when the upturned glass spelled out weeee-eee-eee-eeee-eell-lll, heeee-ee-ee-ee-lo. This week, I give you James Stewart's tips. Come on! Bet 1 Chelsea vs Tottenham Jimmy did insist on being given an extra pound to have a punt on what he used to call the League Cup Final. Robbie Keane will be a naked Spur when this comes in. Bet 2 Fulham vs West Ham - Fulham @7/4 Pure class Jimmy, Bendy rivers galore there. Bet 3 Newcastle vs Manchester Utd - 1st scorer Alan Smith @10/1 (£1) Again pure class Jimmy. Bet 4 Wrexham vs Grimsby - Grimsby @8/5 Again, superb. All playing in a different country. Technically. Bet 5 Portsmouth vs Sunderland - Glen Johnson @33/1 Each Way to score first is a new one on me Jimmy, but the boys at Ladbrokes inform me that you get half the odds if your man scores one of the first 3 goals in the game. Qualitay. Bet 6 Fulham vs West Ham - Fulham 3 - 2 @25/1 We'll all be off to Bedford Falls doing a George Bailey if these rascals bring it home Jimbo. A super sexy, six gun, six shootery, collection of bets today Jim. You've done me proud. Rabbit, Rabbit, Yip, Yip, Bunny,Bunny... Week 24 - 16 Feb 2008 - Football bet tips Sir David of Niven kept up the recent winning streak with a small £6.20 return from 2 first goalscorers last week, but he doesn't get another week in the dead actors hotseat. This week in the chair, or chairs, are Laurel & Hardy. Bet 1 Bristol Rovers vs Southampton - Bristol Rovers @7/4 I think that these are all technically in the West, so a good start there boys. Which one picked this bet, the fat one? Bet 2 Southend vs Bournemouth - Bournemouth @10/3 Yes, I think that technically, all those places are by the sea. Bet 3 Charlton vs Watford - Luke Varney @6/1 All sons of great actors themselves; Luke(son of Reg), Danny(son of Roy), Wayne(son of Mickey) and Sami(son of???) these lads are bound to score for Laurel & Hardy. Get in! Bet 4 Liverpool vs Barnsley - Liverpool 4 - 2 @66/1 Technically, I don't think it is possible to laugh gravy, but if these ridiculous scores come in, we'll all have enough money to conduct some expensive scientific experiments. That's another fine mess you've gotten me into. Week 23 - 9 Feb 2008 - Football bet tips Another little tickle last week, with Charles Hawtrey getting us a £2 return. Not good enough however, Charlie. You're history. My ouija board has spelled out the name of a fine actor this week, who is surely going to have a few treats in store for us. Bet 1 Southampton vs QPR - Southampton @11/10 Not so sure if there's anything elusive or Pimpernelly about these results David, but I like them. Bet 2 Aston Villa vs Newcastle - Newcastle @7/2 Cheeky. Bet 3 Aston Villa vs Newcastle - Michael Owen @7/1 The Navarone brothers are all out injured this week, so these lads will have to do. Bet 4 Burnley vs Colchester - Burnley 3 - 2 @25/1 Lordy David, we'll all be in like Flynn at the casino when these babies com in. Respec Week 22 - 2 Feb 2008 - Football bet tips A small return from Will Hay last week, which to be fair, was more than I expected from those selections Will, you chump! Hay is definitely out of the hot seat this week, but uncannily, when me and Mrs Mint got out the ouija board last night, who should pop up, but one of Hay's old acting chums - Charles Hawtrey. Who would have thought it? I've just noticed that Charlie Hawtrey was in a film called Hammer the Toff. Bet 1 Reading vs Bolton - Reading @evens Nice one Charlie! Bet 2 Birmingham vs Derby - Derby @5/1 I think Hattie Jacques may have influenced you with these Charles. Bet 3 Chesterfield vs Chester - Jack Lester @7/2 I think it's a given that Lukas Jutkiewicz is known as Jack by his mates. Bet 4 QPR vs Bristol City - Bristol City 3 - 1 @25/1 Your little glasses will be steaming up if these ones are anywhere near Charles. Hakuna Matata Week 21 - 26 Jan 2008 - Football bet tips I suppose I should have known better then to allow Oliver Reed to give me advice last week. He's ended my winning streak, but I've still got every confidence in those great deceased actors that have been giving me tips through the ouija board. This week, Will Hay, who I'm sure liked a flutter himself, is going to come up trumps. Bet 1 Peterborough vs West Brom - Peterborough @3/1 Looks like you did ask a policeman for this one Will. Bet 2 Derby vs Preston - Preston @7/2 Maybe entirely possible in your day these Will. Bet 3 Arsenal vs Newcastle - Michael Owen @9/1 Not sure how ghostly these boys are, but if Carrick scores first aginst Spurs they're not going to be too happy are they? Bet 4 Mansfield vs Middlesbrough - Middlesbrough 4 - 2 @40/1 Mr's Porter (Joel & Chris) aren't playing today, but Will informs me they would have both scored if they had been. Looks a doozy this Will, I particularly like the Wigan one at 22-1. Fandabidozeee! Week 20 - 19 Jan 2008 - Football bet tips WOOOOHOOOO! Ole Mint is in the black. Dead actors are quality. Speaking of drinking heavily, Ollie Reed has offered his help this week. Bet 1 Blackpool vs Ipswich - Blackpool @5/4 Not sure why the Gladiators are getting involved there Ollie?, but they look OK to me, you freak. Bet 2 Sheffield Weds vs Sheffield Utd - Sheffield Utd @6/4 You like your doubles and trebles, don't you Ollie? Bet 3 Blackburn vs Middlesbrough - Jeremie Aliadiere @9/1 I think Alliadiere was one of the Musketeers. Technically. Bet 4 Reading vs Manchester Utd - Manchester Utd 4 - 2 @40/1 Cheers Ollie. I'm off for a bucket of Guinness. I am Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. Week 19 - 12 Jan 2008 - Football bet tips Another couple of wins last week, courtesy of Richard Burton - well, actually Liz Taylor picked the Yankee, but this keeps the Mint in a rich vein of form and edging ever nearer to breaking even for the season. James Mason has been helping me from beyond the grave this week. Bet 1 Burnley vs Plymouth - Burnley @5/4 I think all of these are in the North West, technically. Bet 2 Chelsea vs Tottenham - Tottenham @9/2 Now it's not often teams go to places like Chelsea & Ipswich and win. But, do you know what James?, I like these. Bet 3 Arsenal vs Birmingham - Eduardo da Silva @7/2 Clutching at straws with the third & fourth ones there Jimbo. Bet 4 Wolves vs Crystal Palace - Wolves 3 - 2 @25/1 I think the laws of Physics might argue with you there Mr Mason, but I'm not going to. Abracadabra. Week 18 - 5 Jan 2008 - Football bet tips Well a new year has dawned and as the old saying goes, "Out with the old, in with the new". This means that poor old Jimi Hendrix has got the sack after a truly awesome 3 week run. Minty knows there is no room for sentiment in this game. Anyway, I'm still going to be using my powers to contact famous dead people for their tips, but I've gone off musicians: Too erratic. I'm going to give film stars a bash, starting with Richard Burton. Bet 1 Bristol City vs Middlesbrough - Bristol City @13/8 They would indeed be shockers Sir Richard, have you been at the sauce? Bet 2 Shrewsbury vs Brentford - Brentford @5/2 Did Liz Taylor pick that one? Bet 3 Watford vs Crystal Palace - Danny Shittu @14/1 Now this I like. Bet 4 Watford vs Crystal Palace - Crystal Palace 3 - 2 @33/1 We'll be singin in the valleys if these daddies come in Richie baby. Sospen Fach. Week 17 - 29th Dec - Football bet tips Jimmi Hendrix provided the Mint with another little tickle last week, correctly predicting Stoke to beat West Brom 3-1. Minty has again been using his ouija board to great effect this week, and Sir Jimi is still connected. Come on you madmen, bring us home a end of year bonus. Bet 1 Off to the seaside at Christmas? Grimsby vs Lincoln - Grimsby @6/5 Bet 2 Wigan vs Aston Villa - Aston Villa @11/8 Bet 3 Chelsea vs Newcastle - Joe Cole @6/1 Jimi was not sure if Jo Yobo or Jo Lescott's your man at Everton this week, but they can't both score the first goal can they? Bet 4 Grimsby vs Lincoln - Grimsby 3 - 1 @18/1 Come on Jimbo, looks like you've been at your Christmas stash here. Week 16 - 22nd Dec - Football bet tips Come on the Mint, what a bumper payout last week. £126.51 Has got to be Christmas come early. Two 3-2 aways has got to be just a little bit quality hasn't it? I'm obviously sticking with my trusted advisor Jimi Hendrix again this week, so expect another Santa's sackfull this week. Bet 1 Middlesbrough vs West Ham - Middlesbrough@13/10 Four homes for the teams in red. quality. Bet 2 Reading vs Sunderland - Sunderland @3/1 Not so sure about theses Jimi. You been at the bong? Bet 3 Aston Villa vs Manchester City - Gareth Barry @14/1 Jimi said that if 6 was nine, then by rights these chaps who wear number 6 should get more goals. Interesting concept Jimbo, and who am I to argue after last week? Bet 4 Middlesbrough vs West Ham - Middlesbrough 3 - 2 @25/1 Whoooooooah! Jimi, you freaky dude. Bring it on! Week 16 - 15th Dec - Football bet tips If anyone ever deserved the title of being musically dead, then those boys do. Phil Collins can rest easy for another day. Anyway, being as Arthur Askey didn't come up with the goods last week, I've been taking psychic advice this week from Jimi Hendrix. Definitely better at music than the Mondays... Bet 1 Sheffield Utd vs Barnsley - Sheffield Utd @5/6 These were the only ones that look derbyish, and Jimi likes them. Bet 2 Portsmouth vs Tottenham - Tottenham @9/4 OOoooooh you Wild Thing Jimi. Bet 3 Arsenal vs Chelsea - Joe Cole @12/1 Now that is pure class Jimi... Bet 4 Burnley vs Preston - Preston 3 - 2 @40/1 How Foxy do you want to be? The Mint hath spoketh. Week 15 - 8th Dec - Football bet tips Dead women singers know f*@# all about picking winners! This week I've been on the dark side again contacting a good old English entertainer. I've had enough of them Yanks, what do they know about soccer? This week I give you Sir Arthur of Askey. Bet 1 Barnet vs Macclesfield - Barnet @10/11 Now that makes sense. Bet 2 Leicester vs West Brom - West Brom @8/5 Loveable little scouser Arthur was looking for Woolwich Arsenal on the coupon but couldn't find them. Bless. Bet 3 Preston vs Blackpool - Brett Ormerod @6/1 Nice one Arthur, you demon. Bet 4 Preston vs Blackpool - Preston 3 - 1 @18/1 Come on Arthur! Week 14 - 1st Dec - Football bet tips The world of deceased football tipstery is a harsh place indeed. Stepping up to the plate this week is Karen Carpenter. Bet 1 Wigan vs Manchester City - Wigan @21/10 Bet 2 Crystal Palace vs West Brom - West Brom @11/8 Bet 3 Blackburn vs Newcastle - Draw @9/4 Bet 4 Blackburn vs Newcastle - Draw 2 - 2 @14/1 Yes Karen, that one does look like it's from outer space. M to the I to the N to the T. Week 13 - 23th Nov - Football bet tips Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Me Ears Are alight. Hopefully he's not been at the spliffs, but will it really matter? Bet 1 Newcastle vs Liverpool - Newcastle @11/5 Glad you only put a £1 on that one Des, or you'd be on the way to busted. Bet 2 Scunthorpe vs Hull - Hull @7/4 Are you sure you didn't nick that one off Jimmy Cliff, Des? Carlisle fans will obviously cross the other 253 on their way to Brighton. Bet 3 Burnley vs Stoke City - Draw @11/5 Tell me how Desmond. Bet 4 Barnsley vs Watford - Watford 2 - 0 @8/1 I saw what you did there Desmond, but I can't believe you talked me into allowing it. 0 goals for the home teams, 0 goals for the ref, 7 for the away teams. Brilliant. Stupid, but brilliant. Bet 5 Newcastle vs Liverpool - Obafemi Martins @8/1 Rude boy Train - Is that a Jamaican Middleweight? Aye, Mint. Week 12 - 16th Nov - Football bet tips Nothing to add to the kitty last week after contacting Big Jim Morrison which isn't that surprising is it? Bet 1 Bristol Rovers to beat Millwall @11/10 Not so sure about Accy Stanley myself but Desmond was adamant. Bet 2 Peterborough to win at in form Bury @11/8 Bet 3 Bristol Rovers to beat Millwall 3 - 1 @16/1 Sorry Desmond but who else are we going to blame? Bet 4 Israel to beat Russia @5/1. This bet is not just saving our weekends betting, it's saving England's European Championship qualifying hopes as well. At least until Wednesday. Bye for now, Week 11 - 10th Nov - Football bet tips I'm going to the roadhouse, I'm going to have a real.... Jimbo McMorrison came up trumps last week with 2 correct scores and an oh so nearly huge payout. Stockport County let Big Jim down big time by not getting a late 2-2 equaliser at home to Peterboro, which would have really lit our collective fire. Anyway, because of last weeks success, I've decided to live a bit more like Jim Morrison and hopefully this will allow us to connect on a spiritual level with devastating consequences for Mr Ladbroke. It's 11.08. I've just woken up, I'm still pissed, and I'm tucking into the chilli madras I couldn't face last night. Lock up you daughters, I'm going out on a bender... ...While you're at it, lock up your amphetamines as well.... Bet 1 Sunderland vs Newcastle - Sunderland @17/10 Bet 2 Morecambe vs Port Vale - Morecambe @11/8 Jesus Christ. Bet 3 Morecambe vs Port Vale - Morecambe 3 - 1 @18/1 A blustery day in prospect on the West coast. Bet 4 Leicester vs Burnley - Burnley @11/4 Whooooooah! Jim. Bet 5 Derby vs West Ham - Robert Earnshaw @7/1 Have either of those freaky looking dudes ever scored a goal???? Come on Jimmy, light my fire. Week 11 - 3rd Nov - Football bet tips I am however giving them another chance this week. Bet 1 Arsenal vs Manchester Utd - Manchester Utd @2/1 Hmmm, nice one Jimbo. Bet 2 Carlisle vs Leeds - Carlisle @7/4 Jesus Christ Jim. Bet 3 Everton vs Birmingham - Everton 3 - 1 @10/1 Still insane then Jim? Bet 4 Blackburn vs Liverpool - Benni McCarthy @7/1 This is the end, my friend. Mint. Week 10 - 27th Oct - Football bet tips Time for a change of tack I think. Bet 1 Preston vs Plymouth - Preston @6/5 Like the look of these Bud. The Bopper knows his Football League. Bet 2 Chelsea vs Manchester City - Manchester City @11/2 Come on Buddy. Jiles Perry Richardson didn't give you that one surely? Bet 3 Bristol City vs Stoke City - Draw @11/5 Maybe, Baby? Bet 4 Birmingham vs Wigan - Birmingham 3 - 1 @14/1 I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Mint. Week 9 - 20th Oct - Football bet tips Well, those loveable musically dead scouse men of the people Macca & Ringo have been providing me with some good tipping fodder for the last few weeks, so I'm sticking with them again this week, hoping for the big one. Bet 1 Everton vs Liverpool - Everton @12/5 Being men of the people, Ringo & Macca are obviously Everton fans, so they'll be delighted with this one. Also, being men of the people, they're going to want to see Leeds get beat as well.... Bet 2 Manchester City vs Birmingham - Birmingham @11/2 Little George wrote Taxman, so he's getting in on the act here.
