Snood wars and bore draws

Bobbie's backing Fulham and Everton to draw again and says there's money to be made in the war of snoods!
Check out this week's Soccer AM specials!
A while back 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...
Merry betting boys and girls, Christmas is right around the corner and I'm sure you could all do with a little bit more bees and honey, so it's a good thing Sky Bet are in a generous mood!
I'm feeling all festive so let's kick things of with a Christmas Special. If Robin van Persie and Andy Carroll both score this weekend (note we're talking about goals) you could be buying two turkeys this year because Sky Bet are offering clucking good odds of 4/1.
Red Robin's due another goal and Andy Carroll has been netting more than a fisherman on a good day, so get on it and Carroll won't be the only one singing this Christmas.
We're showing our support for the troops this week with our Forces Special so Sky Bet thought we should do something to mark the occasion - it's all out war, 'Snood War' that is!
Arsenal's Samir Nasri has been sporting the controversial piece of fabric as has 'Mr Manchester City' Carlos Tevez. Sky Bet have various odds on who will come out on top in this battle, although we're not sure anyone wants the title of King of the Snoods!
Phenomenal odds of 33/1 are up for grabs for West Ham and Fulham away wins this weekend. Here's a fascinating fact for you. Both teams have gone 26 away games in the league without a win. Ouch! But this could be the weekend where they both turn that record around. Liverpool are about as consistent as the British weather and things are clucking mad over at Ewood with the Venky's boys spreading their wings!
If that doesn't warm you up like a glass of mulled wine in front of the fire place, this one will! If Fulham and Everton both draw this weekend you will clean up at 14/1. These guys have got more draws between them than a Swedish furniture shop, so what are you waiting for?!
And finally we've got an ice cool Crew Accumulator for you this winter weekend folks. Check this out - If Jingle Hell's Bells' and Matt Rushden's Torquay and Cambridge, Disco Dave's Bristol City, Jumpout Man Chris' Southampton and Curly's Arsenal all get three points this weekend you could p-p-p-p-ppick up a quid or 400 with unbelievable odds of 40/1! Get betting!
