O brother where art thou?

Bobbie's back with his weekly bets and says the Ferdinand brothers could earn you a tidy sum this week!
Old Trafford and the Petrov boys is where the value's at
A couple of weeks ago Bobbie revealed in our weekly meeting that he once accumulated over £700 betting on matches during Euro 2004. Unfortunately he then went and blew it all by backing the Czech Republic to beat winners Greece! We like to focus on the positives though, so with that in mind we've decided to make him our betting 'guru' for the season. Each week he'll be picking out some of the slightly more unusual bets with a little bit of help from our friends at Sky Bet, and he'll also be putting his money where his mouth is. We've stuck £50 in his kitty (Monopoly money of course!) and we'll see how he gets on through the course of the season and to make things more interesting he'll be going up against the rest of the office. A different member of the crew will take him on each week and at the end of the season we'll see who's got the most wonga, or more likely who's lost the least! So remember to check back each week for his latest bets and odds from Sky Bet and find out who's leading in the Bobbie v The Office duel!Bobbie says...
It's that time of the week again. I've got betting slips in every pocket possible and a full fixture list to have some fun with. As a certain pint-sized Hollywood actor once screamed "show me the money!!" The Hereford United fans will be gracing the Luther Blissett stand this week and rumour has it they're about as prolific as the Bulls first team in front of goal right now. Sky Bet are offering odds of 6/1 for the boys to get as many goals as their heroes against Barnet. Both teams are currently propping up the rest of League 2 so putting some dough on Hereford fans scoring lowly could be easy money.
Two brothers facing off against each other in the greatest league in the world doesn't happen every day. Sunderland take on Man Utd this weekend and the Ferdinand brothers should be squaring up.
Sky Bet are offering a massive 200/1 for both Rio and Anton to score. These two boys are more competitive than Rocket during Dance Off week, so I reckon this is well worth a punt.
We're not sure what Newcastle's James Perch has been doing since moving to Tyneside but we'd hazard a guess at walking under ladders, breaking mirrors and spilling salt all over the place with the start he's made to his Premier League career.
After five yellow cards and an own goal in his first six games, Perch is 66/1 with Sky Bet to concede a penalty and get sent-off against Man City. These kinds of opportunities don't come round very often, so get on it!
Finally we've got a few golf specials for you boys and girls. It's Ryder Cup time and we all know how the footy boys love a bit of golf action, almost as much as Tiger Woods loves a party down at Heff's. Lump on at 10/1 with Sky Bet for any Premier League player to celebrate a goal with a golf swing this weekend
