Damn you Blackpool!

Probably should have posted this yesterday at least because you only have about 7 hours to get this bet on but I think it's a good one. Europa League proper starts tonight with the first knockout round and there are a few dead certs playing tonight and since this is the safe bet for the week I'll be going with a treble of Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund to all win their games tonight with relative ease since all are at home to Trabzonspor, Tavria and FK Karabakh (The last 2 I've never heard of?) . Fairly good odds considering all should win fairly easily. Bayer kick off at 5.30pm GMT if you want to get your bet on. (Win)

Haven't been doing too well on these bets so far this year (*cough* Blackpool *cough*) so I'm going to try to be even more cautious this week! I'll be going with another treble of Chelsea, Everton and Arsenal -1. Chelsea are away to, arguably the worst team in the league after last weeks performance, Wigan while Everton are at home to Wolves in what should be home victory for the Toffees (and at pretty decent odds too). Arsenal will be at home to the mighty Blackpool. I know they ruined my bet last week but surely they can't hold Arsenal to a 1 goal win, can they? (Lose)

Odds: 7/4 (BlueSQ and 888sport)

Returns: 21

The danger bet is going extra dangerous this weekend. It's the same teams as above but we'll be pushing the boat out to Chelsea -2, Arsenal -2 and Everton! I know it probably looks like a stupid bet (probably!) but Wigan let 4 goals past them at home to Blackpool last week and Chelsea are one of the most free scoring teams in the league. Arsenal are similar to Chelsea in the fact that against poorer opposition they can destroy them and I think Blackpool will come crashing back to earth this Saturday! (Lose)
