So close yet so far....

Tuesdays Carling Cup games provided some shocks like I predicted and I was 7 minutes away from a massive £1,500 win. Chilvers of Notts County, is the maniac, and that is the only word to describe him, that cost me my windfall. He decided it was worth while pulling back Wolves centre half Berra as he shot, giving away a penalty and getting sent off allowing Wolves to equalise.

I was left feeling empty and deflated but buoyed by my close call I can feel I am due a winner. Last season a lot of my success came from accumulators that included a couple of Premier League games then some lower league games so this week, that is what I am going for.

This weeks accumulator will net you £450 from a £10 bet.

Birmingham v Wigan –   > Birmingham win at odds of 5/6

Birmingham are strong at home and I expect them to beat a struggling Wigan team quite comfortably at St Andrews.

Fulham v Everton –   > Draw at odds of 12/5

Both teams had disappointing results mid week, Everton more so than Fulham. Everton have a lot to prove in this game and I expect them to come away with a point from Craven Cottage.

Scunthorpe v Ipswich -   > Draw at odds of 12/5

Scunthorpe will either be exhausted or excited after their mid week Carling Cup exploits and Ipswich are the draw specialists so I’m going for a draw here.

Rotherham v Chesterfield   > Rotherham win at odds of 11/10

Both teams have had a good start to the season and are pushing for promotion so I am going for home advantage edging this one.
