No winners this week unfortunately, but many of our experts go oh-so-close, including Tomo coming within a point of a good win. This week is the punters dream, with the Derby on Saturday and Melbourne Cup on Tuesday. Keep an eye out for our Melbourne Cup special early next week, but for now, let’s find a winner!

————————————
Matt
EPL – Man Utd def Arsenal @ $1.60 – A mid-week extra time League Cup loss to Chelsea will be a bit of a wake-up call for the Red Devils, and RVP will be keen to fire against his old club.
&
NBA – Spurs def Thunder @ $1.75 – Not really sure why here, but I thought I should get on the NBA bandwagon now it’s back on again.
&
A-League – CC Mariners v Sydney FC – Draw @ $3.35 – With ADP under an injury cloud and the Sky-Blues still struggling for some fluency, I don’t think they can get the three points here, but should be good enough to get a point.
= $9.38
Adrian
A-League – WSW v Heart – WSW @ $2.45 – A great opportunity for the home side to back up their upset win last week, with their first win on home turf.
&
A-League – CCM v Sydney FC – CCM @ $2.05 – Should be a great game, with the Mariners getting the win at home.
= $5.00
James
Cricket- QLD def NSW @ $3.02- the Blues have been absolutely flying to start the season, but with some key players missing with AusA duties, I think the Bulls are a real chance.
&
A-League- Western Sydney Wanderers def Melbourne Heart @ $2.40- It may have taken 288mins to score a goal and 4 matches for their first win, but I think the floodgates are about to open for the new kids on the block.
&
EPL- Liverpool def Newcastle @ $1.57- Liverpool will be out to get Newcastle after the Magpies tricked the Reds into paying £35mil for Andy Carrol.
= $11.38
Tomo
NBA – Pacers def Bobcats @ $1.33 – An easy one here, the Bobcats won’t be good enough in this one.
&
NBA – Heat def Knicks @ $1.36 – The defending champs have started ok, and should account for the Knicks with ease.
= $1.80
David
A-League – Pheonix def Victory @ $3.15 – Lets be frank, the Victory suck at the moment. They might be playing well but they can’t find a win to save themselves, and the Nix deserve something after being ripped off last weekend.
&
NFL – Ravens def Browns @ $1.50 – The Ravens have a good side this year, and should get the win. Honestly though, could you really back a team with the name of the Browns?
= $4.72
Ruben
A-League – Victory vs Phoenix – Phoenix @ $3.10 – Well we shouldn’t have let the game go last week as we did, so here we are, away from home but keen not to let the season’s start get away from us. Phoenix 2-0
&
A-League – Western Syd vs Heart – Wanderers @ $2.40 – Confidence and attitude count for great things in football, will a goal under their name, I believe the wanderers are alive and kicking and the feeling of goal scoring is too hard to resist.
= $7.44
