Roker Riches: Aiden McGeady to cap his Sunderland return with a goal? He’s 15/4 to score anytime

I feel like we learned two lessons last week. Lesson #1 - Never think Sunderland are predictable and back them to lose against a side much higher than them in the league. Lesson #2 - The mags will always find a way to ruin your bet slip, never bet on them even if you’re backing them to lose.

It’s fair to say that none of us bet on a high scoring draw or Bristol City scoring two own goals, so there were no winning Sunderland bets (lol @ Walshie who put £50 on a Bristol win). Then quite a few of the gamblers had bets involving Manchester United beating Newcastle which, as we know, just didn’t happen (lol @ Bromley who had £50 on Man United).

There’s also some ire for Ipswich. You can’t even beat Burton Albion? Even we could beat Burton bloody Albion! That result saw a few slips get torn up.

Well, let’s see if we can all get back to winning ways eh?

The Table...

The Banker’s Bonus...

Huddersfield to beat Man Utd: Rory’s bold bet has inspired me. £10 returns £70.

Danny - @DJRoberts22

Sunderland v Brentford - over 2.5 goals: We’ll probably lose and lots of goals will be scored. It’s the new Sunderland way. But to be safe, I’ll just punt on the goals scored to be 3 or more. £3 returns £5.73.

Brighton, Falkirk and Peterhead all to win: I got unlucky last week, but this week will be a winner - ‘cause I’m banking on the clear favourites. £10 returns £24.76.

Bromley - @connorbromley

Sunderland to win: I am blind with optimism. £10 returns £33.

Huddersfield and Man Utd to draw: My attempts at logical betting has failed all season. So I have went with a random bet. £10 returns £21.97.

Graham - @AsylumDoors

Aiden McGeady to score anytime, 15/4: I’m copying Gav, Tom and Dan - it’s a pretty sound bet. McGeady is class when he wants to be. £10 returns £47.50.

Brighton, Celtic, Schalke, AC Milan fourfold: Safe to safe-ish bet on alright returns. £10 returns £57.17.
