Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (total £174.22, up £149.42)

Another week of betting, and another mini-step in the right direction. After laying down £31 in bets, we managed to make a modest profit of £0.50 with two of our three bets turning against us.

Like most of the British press, our Champions League predictions were made to look stupid by the tiki-taki football of Xavi and Iniesta. Also going south was the hope that Liverpool’s youngsters could produce a win against Arsenal’s young guns as the the North Londoners won yet another title at under 18 level. But thankfully our luck was in in Asia, Japan thumping Chile for four in their World Cup qualifier warm-up match.

Chelsea meet Everton in the FA Cup final at Wembley, with the bookies making Everton the big underdogs at 17/4. While some will be seduced to back the Toffees with the dream of reaping big rewards, the flip-side of the coin is that the Blues, jam-packed with a galaxy of superstars who have peaked as the season developed, are heavily fancied to claim their last chance of silverware available to them this year.

Tipping Chelsea to win (3/4) and Didier Drogba to score (7/4), the plan is to turn £10 into a juicy £48.13 return.

Germany are also hosting their domestic cup final this weekend, Bayer Levekusen and Werder Bremen meeting in a battle of two big boys who have grossly underachieved so far this season. Over and above both teams desire to win a competition this season, the match has taken on added importance with neither club having secured European football next term. With the stakes so high, commentators are predicting a leave-it-all-out-on-the-field encounter, splashed with goals, goals and more goals.

Swallowing the hype whole, we are staking £15 on there being more than 2.5 goals (8/13) in the match and that both teams will score (4/9).

It’s the final weekend in Spain, and while most are talking about the wide open relegation battle (five teams, who all have their destiny amazingly in their own hands, are battling against the drop), our focus is taken by two strikers who, if the rumour-mill is to be listened to, could well be plying their trade outside La Liga next season. At Atletico, the league’s top scorer Diego Forlan welcomes Almeria to Madrid, while at Valencia, David Villa will likely be making his final home appearance against Athletic Bilbao.

Backing both Diego Forlan (8/11) and David Villa (4/6) to score this weekend, the hopes is that our £7 bet will turn into a £20.15 return.

Over in Italy, Juventus have the opportunity to complete a major upset on the final day of the season by beating Lazio at home, hoping Fiorentina can overturn AC Milan, resulting in the Bianconeri stealing second spot and automatic entry into the Champions league group stages. After ditching Claudio Ranieri a fortnight ago, the Old Lady romped to a 3-nil victory at Siena last weekend, and spirits are high for the visit of the Romans to Turin.

Predicting over 2.5 goals in the match (6/4) and that Juventus will win (4/11), the aim is to turn £10 into over a £24 profit.
