The Betfair Football £10 Bet of the Day
Day 14: We're backing the half-time draw/full-time home win when England host Bulgaria at [4.5]
England aren't the quickest out of the traps when it comes to the start of qualifying campaigns, as anyone who witnessed their struggle to break down Andorra until the half-time introduction of Joe Cole two years ago will no doubt agree.
In fact, the Three Lions have been ahead at the interval in just two of their last six preliminary process openers, suggesting that laying them to be leading after 45 minutes against Bulgaria tonight is a great bet at [1.86].
We're showing even more ambition for our final £10 punt of the week though and betting that England will be frustrated in the first half at Wembley before improving to take all the points at [4.5].
England have won ten successive home games under the supposedly clueless Fabio Capello and in several of those matches, including last month's friendly with Hungary, they were forced to wait until the second half to put teams to the sword.
Our bet: We're backing the half-time draw/full-time England win at [4.5], meaning that - before considering commission - we stand to win £35. The same wager only pays out £30 with Paddy Power. Sign up for a new account now and get money back on your first £30 of losing bets.
Profit so far: £21.55
