Weekend Football Betting Tipsby Ben, last updated 2007-01-11 07:57:15bet365 Picksby Bet365PREMIERSHIP VALUE SCREAMER SPECIAL!It’s back to business in the Premiership this weekend, and anyone considering a bet would be well-advised to login to their bet365 account as they are betting all matches to 107%. That means better prices all around and, along with their Premiership Acca Bonus, ensures you’re getting some screaming value for your money. But which of the games should we be concentrating on this weekend? There are no prizes for picking Chelsea (1/5) and Man United (1/4) to record home wins against Wigan and Aston Villa respectively, but can we trust Liverpool (8/15) to get the job done against Watford? The Reds have been thumped twice by Arsenal in the past week in Cup competitions, but a trip to the goals-shy Hornets should see them back in the winner’s enclosure. Arsenal (5/6) have a much tougher-looking game at Blackburn, but their record against Rovers is impressive (won seven of their last eight meetings) and they can double their opponents here after hammering them 6-2 at the Emirates. It almost seems too easy, but backing the Big Four to win this weekend combines for a payout of just under 7/2, which includes a bet365 bonus of 5% - up to 60% more available for the more adventurous amongst you. There’s even the chance to bag a free correct score bet on the Arsenal game thanks to bet365's ‘Big Match’ offer! Any customer with a winning correct score bet on the Watford-Liverpool game will receive a free correct score bet to the same stake (up to £50). In other matches, Portsmouth (13/8) and Reading (12/5) are fancied to pick up wins on the road against Sheffield United and Everton. The Blades have done well recently, but Pompey have won all of their games against teams in the bottom six this season, including a comprehensive 3-1 victory when the two teams met three weeks ago. Everton beat Reading 2-0 at the Madejski before Christmas, but they have been stuck for goals since, while Reading have bounced back with excellent efforts at Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge and a thrashing of West Ham. Backing Charlton (6/4) and West Ham (6/5) to win might seem like a quick way to the poor house, but they are tempting this weekend at the bet365 odds at home to Middlesbrough (without an away win this season) and Fulham (won just one of their last eight meetings). Also, don’t be fooled by Man City’s recent winning form, all against lesser opponents. In fact, the last team to beat them was Bolton and they look excellent value at bet365's 4/5 to do the double this weekend. Finally, what promises to be the game of the weekend – Tottenham v Newcastle. It’s on the box of course (4.00pm, Sunday, Live on Sky Sports) so, settle down to watch the action, but keep one eye on bet365's In-Play markets, where you’re sure to find something to bet on. It’s hard to pick a winner, but we reckon goals will the order of the day, so ‘over’ 2.5 goals at 23/20 looks the best pre-match option. Gerry's Picksby Gerry McDonnellPlaying with one's healthI'm a little bit down at the minute. I've been carrying around a few pound of overweight and i'm struggling to find any real direction. I need to talk to a professional; I need to ‘Talk to Frank'. Mr Lampard is in the perfect position to help me through this crisis; a win for the champions over a woeful Wigan will lift my spirits at a mental 2/9. The wife is also in therapy; she's been seeing a wily shrink for a number of years. The good doctor fancies Bolton to beat Man City at 4/5. If you're after a second opinion, I concur. My love-life has improved dramatically since the wife began her treatment; I make the most of the two hours that she's out of the house. I'm getting stuck into the 3/1 about Watford holding Liverpool to a draw. Henrik Larsson has been labelled the new Eric Cantona; i look forward to him putting on seven stone and scissor-kicking Cockneys. Of course that's just a joke, putting on weight can lead to health problems. Henrik proved the difference between Man U and Villa a week ago, another United win appeals at a seagull-trawling 2/7. I was genuinely surprised to read that Cristiano Ronaldo has been enjoying liaisons with a Hollyoaks star; he doesn't look the type to get involved with an actress. The Portuguese love machine can find the net at 13/8. I'm a real technophobe; I just hate the repetitive beats. My computer says that Sheffield United represent value at 17/10 to see off Pompey at Bramall Lane. I've been suffering from panic attacks lately; possibly brought on by the wife almost finding my ‘special' DVD's. Luckily, I've now hidden them in a place where she'll never find them; the kitchen. I'm tucking into the 10/11 about Arsenal beating Blackburn. It's no coincidence that Arsenal's results have improved since Arsene Wenger whipped out his ‘Beast'. Julio Baptista practically beat the Scousers on his own in midweek; the new improved Gunners can win by two clear goals at 5/2. It was refreshing to see Phil Neville apologise for Everton's abysmal performance against Blackburn; I hope Neville Neville will now hold his hands up to his two mistakes. Everton tried to claim that their surrender was due to the poor shape of the ball, they're hoping for a triangular one against Reading. The Royals can leave Goodison with a point at a shapely 9/4. The wife didn't enjoy our honeymoon; well she did for 64 seconds. The honeymoon period is well and truly over for Alan Curbishley, West Ham's collapse at Reading was the greatest capitulation since the last war that the French were momentarily involved in. Curbs has labelled his under-achieving team ‘the Bentley brigade'. I think they're a racing certainty to see off Fulham at 6/5; unless they choke. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, I'm coming round there tooled up. Opposing Newcastle's decimated squad has hit me where it hurts recently; Spurs will right this heinous wrong at 4/5. The wife has been diagnosed as a schizophrenic, and I don't care for either of them. I do like the 7/4 about Middlesbrough seeing off Charlton. This week's accer is so persuasive, Frank Lampard has finally agreed to a meet-up. Bolton, Man Utd, West Ham, Arsenal and Tottenham are the selections, the payout is a multiple-chinned 16/1.
