The bet must be Lay Ireland heavily to not win the title and have a sneaky bet on England

Back no one to win the Grand Slam at 5/6 which is a big ‘gimme’

Looking for value is our raison d’être, therefore we tend to go for big fancy prices. Today we will go for a major favourite Indianapolis Colts (4/9) to beat New Orleans Saints (7/4).

The reason for this is that Indianapolis Colts have overcome two of the best defences in the NFL.

Minnesota Vikings are in a difficult game against New Orleans Saints, however, if they get pass them then they could upset the favourites Indianapolis Colts, if they should comfortably win against New York Jets.

Therefore take the 9/2 now (5.5) and have a nice fat profit on February 7th.

There is another Facebook attempt to rig the markets and this time its Celebrity Big Brother 2010. The object of desire is Stephen Baldwin the US actor who has been saying all kinds of non pc stuff which will get on the nerves of the viewers and broadcasters hence his big price of 28/1 - Get On!

With a lovely win on the Christmas No1 with Rage Against The Machine it is time to play up winnings on some long term English football bets:

• Fulham each way for the handicap league 11/1
• Wayne Rooney each way to be top goal scorer 12/1
• Lay Chelsea for the Premier winners 8/11

English Championship:

• Swansea to be promoted 9/1
• Robert Earnshaw top goal scorer 16/1

English League One:

• Deon Burton top goal scorer 10/1

English League Two:

• Morecambe to be promoted 6/1
• Lincoln to be relegated 4/1

Blue Square Premier:

• Stalybridge each way to be promoted

Rage Against The Machine

There is a Facebook group that is trying to manipulate the Christmas Number 1 so that Simon Cowell does not force his protege unto the sheep like public with his X-Factor abomination.

All though I am not a big rock/heavy metal fan I am all for this so lets publicise this great cause and also make some money at the same time.

The current odds are 7/2 on Rage Against The Machine so buy loads of RATM and then put the same amount of money onto the 7/2 and win loads of mullah for Xmas and do some good for society as well.

The perfect WIN/WIN situation.

The stand out bet from the draw is to lay England at 6/1 because England will create a little drama in the competition. The hope is to back them at bigger odds later on therefore locking in profits. if they do not make the usual slip up then you are looking at a 16% payoff on a team that will have to progress the Brazil, Germany or Spain in the future - a viable proposition.

Other bets to consider:

Wayne Rooney (14/1), Samuel Eto (40/1), Nicolas Anelka (40/1), look value bets for highest goal scorer.

Must lay Russia to host 2018 World Cup.

The orignal bad boy and chavtastic loser could be the Bez for this years celebrity Z list nonsense. Take a little punt on Jimmy White winning for a change in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Further to the tip we gave for Casey Jones (40’s now down to 20’s) we were looking at trading opportunities - now is the time to take some profit and have a little tickle on Barbers Shop (6/1) and Cappa Bleu (9/1).

The best advice however, would be to follow the first six that finish the race as they have consistenly showed a profit over the following months - Good Luck!

Cheltenham has not been good to us this weekend an even worst for the horses concerned (1 was put down, the other was severly injured). This means that a concerted effort is needed to get a profit for Christmas.

Therefore a little tickle on Casey Jones at 40+ may give room for trading if remaining fit for the big race.
