MOT your multiple - the pacesetters punt
Every week, we put one of the most popular multiples to the test, and this time we're examining a four-fold backing the early leaders in each of England's top four tiers to triumph over the weekend.
The multiple therefore is for Chelsea to win at Wigan, Millwall to take three points off Leeds at Elland Road, Oldham to defeat Charlton in south London and Torquay to overcome automatic promotion hopefuls Bradford.
Unsurprisingly, considering how tough the challenges awaiting the current table-toppers are, there are big winnings up for grabs, with a £390.90 payout provided for just a £10 stake. However, there's one tweak we would make to the wager.
Chelsea, despite their shock loss at the DW Stadium last season and Wigan's notorious unpredictability, should be fine, not least because they haven't been beaten in a competitive clash outside London since February.
Millwall are another capital club that should be trusted on their travels. We made big money backing them to win at Leeds in March and fancy them to make the most of their momentum with another victory over the Whites. Torquay are also capable of conquering poor travellers Bradford.
The one change we would recommend is to back Charlton to defeat Oldham at The Valley, because while Paul Dickov's team are top, the Addicks also have a 100 per cent record, which is arguably more impressive given that they ended their opening two matches with ten men.
Our alternative southern-centric suggestion of Chelsea, Millwall, Charlton and Torquay delivers a £138.40 profit for a tenner outlay.
