Avoiding the Krispy Kremes

So much for being 'experts'. SI's pundits Mark van Aken and Marcus Stergiopoulos came up short last time out. Courtesy of Betstar they're back on the punt.

MvA  I got Krispy Kreme donuts last time on the punt so I’ve gotta go for a few sure things just to get some cash in the kitty. 

MS  Likewise V-Man, but I don’t play it safe like you. I’m backing the Fury to beat the Jets in Newcastle for $15 at $3.60.

MvA  Mmm… Not sure that’s gonna come off for you. The Australian ‘Super Classico’ is on Saturday between Victory and the ‘Sky Blues’ and I think it’ll be a good one, given table positions and the fact that it’s become a bit of a two-horse race for the Premiership with Gold Coast’s patchy few months. I’m slapping $20 at $2.15 on Victory to win just ‘cause it’s at home. 

MS I’ve got $15 on Paul Ifill to be the first goalscorer for the Phoenix in Adelaide which is paying $8.50. 

MvA I’m on that game too. I reckon Wellington can roll Adelaide at Hindmarsh. They’re paying $3.30 and they get $15 of my bankroll.

MS I can’t believe that Sunderland is paying $6.80 to roll Man City. I know it’s far from a sure thing but they aren’t half bad and Man City are… well… not crash hot despite their payroll. I’ve got $20 on their nose.

MvA  I’m looking at Italy where your old mate Bresh is tearing it up. Palermo are at home to Siena this week and I’ll wager $15 on them at $1.62. 

MS  See you at the far post V-Man.

MvA  You’re more likely to find me in the pub mate, but you go first, I’ll meet you there.
