It's been another good season for this daily football props column.
Heading into the final day of 2022/23, it has produced a return on investment of 21% - that's up on the previous season's figure of 15%.
With money in the bank, I therefore think it's worth trying to finish with a flourish and a big-priced winner.
The Euro 2024 qualifiers wrap things up with a key game in Vienna grabbing the attention.
These two sides are battling with Belgium for the two qualification spots and both know defeat isn't something which can really be contemplated in this five-team group.
It should certainly be competitive and so the route I'm going down is cards, specifically the player market.
There are good prices around here and two players - one on each side - stand out.
Let's start with the visitors, who have picked up plenty of cards of late - five in two Euro qualifiers so far, 16 in six Nations League games last year and 24 in their 10 World Cup qualifiers.
Dejan Kulusevski, who can be rather petulant at times, has collected many of them and it's surprising to see him on offer at 4/1 given his record.
The Tottenham wide man has been carded in nine of his last 14 starts for his country and so looks an obvious candidate if things get a bit tasty here.
For the hosts, right-back Stefan Posch looks interesting at 7/2 to go into the book.
He's been carded in three of his last five international starts, including Saturday's draw with Belgium.
That continued a run of late-season cards which saw him booked in five of his last eight games for Bologna in Serie A.
Here, Posch looks likely to go up against Emil Forsberg, a player who was the most-fouled Swede in their recent Nations League campaign.
In short, there's plenty more potential here.
Admittedly, the choice of referee, Marco Guida, could be better, although that said, he did show 4+ cards in his last six games in Italy this season.
The appointment is certainly not enough to put me off taking a punt on the player-card Bet Builder double, one which pays close to 23/1.
