Not quite the same level of return as last week, but still profitable. I'll get next weekend's fixtures written up over the course of this week, feel free to request any games

And that was the weekend

Thought I'd add a little feature to the blog. I figured that seeing as I recommend all these bets, I might as well start a running total to see if following all the tips would prove to be profitable.
Quick couple of bits of housekeeping to clear up. I'll be taking a running total of ALL the bets for a given weekend I recommend (i.e. those where I have quoted the odds. Those will be the odds used). I'll also be keeping the stake constant at 1 unit. Here goes:

Wolfsburg to beat Cottbus @ 4/6 - 1 unit returns 0
Fulham to beat Stoke @ 4/5 - 1 unit returns 1.8
Mark Schwarzer to keep a clean sheet @ 6/5 - 1 unit returns 2.2
Felipe Massa to win (each way) @ 33/1 - 1 unit returns 0
Everton v Manchester City draw @ 5/2 - 1 unit returns 0
Robinho to score anytime @ 11/4 - 1 unit returns 3.75
Real Madrid to beat Sevilla @ 9/5 - 1 unit returns 2.8
Over 3.5 goals @ 2/1 - 1 unit returns 3
Over 4.5 goals @ 9/2 - 1 unit returns 5.5
Hat-trick being scored @ 24/5 - 1 unit returns 5.8
Gonzalo Higuain to score the last goal @ 6/1 - 1 unit returns 0
Birmingham to beat Preston @ 5/6 - 1 unit returns 0
Under 2.5 goals @ 4/6 - 1 unit returns 0

Total outlay: 13 units
Total return: 24.85 units
Profit: 11.85 units
Return/outlay: 191%
