We know December was an expensive month, you can level with us. So let’s live a little and have a flutter on some top notch sport this weekend, the rewards of which could see you living it large this month.

Betting can be quite complex at times, so we like it when someone takes all the hassle out of the equation and gives it to us straight. The Premier League Flash Pots from Betflash are as straightforward as they come. Look at the pots for the upcoming weekend here. If you think any of those pots contain teams who will all win drop a few bob on it and watch your money multiply, with five wins from one of the pools netting a cool 100-1 odds.

The Bet of the Day for this week is Friday’s T20 between the Proteas and the West Indies, After giving the Windies a good pomping in the test matches South Africa are favourites to win, paying out at 4/5. Quite simply, bet R100 and get R180 back when Hash and Dale tear them a new one.

If you are a Manchester United fan, and unfortunately there are plenty of you out there, you can put your money where your mouth is and back your Red Devils to beat Southampton this weekend. Yes, your manager van Gaal looks is very odd-looking, but with Rooney, van Persie and Falcao starting to fire it’s looking rosy at Old Trafford once more.

There are a whole range of bets one can place on the match, with the full spread found here.

If you miss kick-off but still want to bet, or you want to see if Wayne Rooney gets sent off in the first five minutes after his hairpiece falls out, you can bet In-Play as well with the odds changing as the match progresses.

And when your missus (or mister) begs you to turn off the telly and give sport a rest promise them great riches should results go your way. You win, they get spoilt. You lose, you got to watch a whole lot of sport. Tick.
