The divisional accumulator. It’s one of the most ambitious bets a punter can place, but get it right and for a small stake you’ll be booking your next summer holidays in Hawaii.
With one round of matches of the respective domestic Championship leagues just completed we managed to catch a few glimpses of things to come.
Bristol City are available at 18/1 to win the Championship and that’s just too good to resist considering Gary Johnson’s side looked certainties for automatic promotion to the Premiership for most of last season.
Johnson has managed to keep his young and progressive squad together and the men from the West Country have recruited goal machine Nicky Maynard from Crewe for 2.25 million. Expect a bold challenge. They won 1-0 at Blackpool at the weekend.
In League One it’s Essex side Southend who get the nod. The talented Steve Tilson could well manage in the Premiership some day and has enormous experience of this league. The Shrimpers got their campaign off to a flier beating Peterborough on the opening day and are great value at 16s.
League Two outfit Shrewsbury have flashed the cash over the summer and have a fine manager in Paul Simpson who so nearly took former club Preston to the Premiership on two occasions. The Shrews thrashed Macclesfield 4-0 on Saturday and can justify their 5/1 favourites tag.
Readers of this blog will be well aware that we’ve been keen on Manchester United’s Premier League hopes for some time. Over the course of a season we feel Sir Alex Ferguson’s side have too many guns for chief rivals Chelsea who may take a season to gel under new boss Felipe Scolari. At 11/8 United complete our acca.
For a 5 pound stake that pretty lot comes to a whopping 23 grand. What are you waiting for?
