Only Matt was able to cash in last week, while Adrian had an extremely close call with Triple J’s Hottest 100. Unfortunately nobody else was able to get too close, but can someone win big this week and end the first month of 2012 on top?

————————————-

Matt

 African Cup of Nations – Ghana def Mali @ $1.80 – Quarter finalists at the last FIFA World Cup, Ghana are the second favourites for the tournament, and despite having a couple of quality players, Mali should be no match for them.

&

Australian Open Championship Double – Djokovic/Sharapova @ $4.65 – Sharapova has shown plenty of form coming into the final, and Djokovic, while he looked tired and somewhat disinterested in the quarter final, should knock off Murray in the semi, and then take down Nadal in the final.

= $8.37

Adrian

Controversy Double

FA Cup – QPR v Chelsea – Chelsea @ $1.55

&

FA Cup – Liverpool v Manchester United – Man U @ $2.70

= $4.19

James

FA Cup – Everton def Fulham @ $2 – While they didn’t get the three points last week in a major disappointment against Blackburn, with Timmy Cahill finallly back scoring goals a Fulham side with no Schwarzer shouldn’t be any trouble for the mighty Toffees.

&

Australian Open Mens Singles Semi Final – Djokovic def Murray @ $1.35 – You’ve got to love how the English jump on the Murray bandwagon when he’s winning and then disown him when he gets beat. Unfortunately I think they’ll be disowning him after the semis.

&

BBL Final – Sixers def Scorchers @ $2.10 – I may have aligned myself with the Thunder, but you simply can’t go against a Sydney team, and I think the Sixers bowling attack will be too good for the Scorchers.

= $5.67

Tomo

NBA – Oklahoma City Thunder def Golden State Warriors @ $1.48

&

NBA – Orlando Magic def New Orleans Hornets @ $1.54

&

A-League – Wellington Phoenix def Melbourne Heart @ $2.00

= $4.65

David

The Trans-Tasman Test Triumph

New Zealand v Zimbabwe – Result – New Zealand @ $1.16 – NZ should be way too strong for this

&

Australia v India Test 4 – Result -Australia @ $1.36 – aus are in a dominante position at the time of writing (end of day 3) so they should be good enough to convert to a whitewash

= $1.58
