BLACKPOOL put their home unbeaten record on the line against poor travellers Scunthorpe today, who were thumped by basement side Peterborough United on their last away trip. The Seasiders boast a 13-2 goals for-against record on their own turf, and at 8-11 they should be trusted to generate some extra cash for the Christmas shopping budget as this week's banker bet. The FA Cup can provide the other three Yankee tips: MK Dons at 2-5 to beat Macclesfield, Barnet at 8-13 to beat Darlington and

Bookmakers baffle me sometimes (they no doubt say the same about punters). For top vs bottom in the SPL they make Celtic at 1-4 to beat Falkirk, but drop down a division and they make table-toppers Queen of the South 10-11 to beat awful Ayr United.

One final recommendation: Millwall are 4-9 with Scotbet to beat AFC Wimbledon on Monday (as low as 2-7 elsewhere).
