It was another good week for the merry band of Betting.Betfair tipsters with plenty of winners across the board, including a stunning few days for football man Michael Lintorn. All the details in our regular weekly round-up...

"Paul Krishnamurty's 'Find me a 100 Winner' column banged in a 34.5 point profit as Brendon Todd, tipped at 190.0189/1, and Kevin Na (210.0209/1) both matched the first lay target of 14.013/1 at the Barclays."

Only one place to start and that's with a week to remember for daily football columnist Michael Lintorn, who had a host of winners.

In his previews of the Spanish Supercopa between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, Michael had a full house with under 2.5 goals @ 2.226/5 and a lay of Real at 2.226/5 landing in the first leg and another lay of Ancelotti's men at 2.226/5 and Atletico to win the trophy, at 2.245/4 coming home in the second leg.

Michael's 'lays of the weekend' column has also made a cracking start to the season, with five successful bets from six thus far including a lay of Fulham to beat Millwall (DNB) at 1.528/15 in week one and a lay of MK Dons to beat Coventry at 1.981/1 in week two.

And it didn't end there, with another full house in his Wednesday Champions League tipsheet, as Under 2.5 Goals landed in NK Maribor v Celtic @ 1.768/11 and Standard v Zenit St Petersburg @ 1.824/5 while Porto (draw no bet) against Lille came in at 1.9620/21.

Staying with football where Luke Moore was a last minute Olivier Giroud equaliser away from a full house in his Everton v Arsenal preview, as Aaron Ramsey scored and Over 2.5 Goals and both teams to score came in. Only the predicted Toffees win failed to come off - just.

Fellow Premier League previewer Lewis Jones - who will be covering the Saturday lunchtime games for us this season - had a nice 3.259/4 winner in his Aston Villa v Newcastle preview as Paul Lambert's team achieved a clean sheet, as predicted.

Betfair trader Alan Thompson had a good Monday night as Man City beat the -1 handicap against Liverpool as advised at 2.111/10, while Over 3.5 Goals landed at 3.211/5.

On to golf, where Paul Krishnamurty's 'Find me a 100 Winner' column banged in a 34.5 point profit as Brendon Todd, tipped at 190.0189/1, and Kevin Na (210.0209/1) both matched the first lay target of 14.013/1 at the Barclays. That puts the column 29 points up on the year.

Men's tennis columnist Sean Calvert had a cracking day at the US Open on Monday (August 25) with three wins from three, including Novak Djokovic winning his opening set 6-1 at 5.04/1. Check out Sean's tips for Tuesday's action.

Next up racing where Irish racing columnist Tony Keenan landed a 4.57/2 winner in the form of Pale Mimosa at the Ebor meeting in York.

Finally - if only to celebrate the best headline of last week - it's Formula One where Ralph Ellis suggested a lay of Lewis Hamilton in the Qualification/Winner double market at around 2.68/5.
