"Back Bangladesh to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Cricket World Cup at 2.1. This is probably the strongest ODI team they’ve ever had and play all their group matches on home soil. Soil which turns square and will suit their army of spinners I may add."

WSO isn't just about being the best tipster in the business. It's also about winning dosh. Here are WSO's selections as the best things to do with the £100 prize.

If Only has now won three editions of Winner Stays On. If he wins this week and the one after that he'll follow in the footsteps of the great Paul Robinson in winning five in a row and the £100 prize that comes with that. Paul Robinson decided to spend the dosh on a couple of pre-Christmas boozy nights. That was his prerogative. It was his money, he earned it. We're not judgemental types here at Betfair Towers. But we've had a think about the best things to do with £100 and this is what we've decided on.

1)Take the woman of your dreams/girlfriend/wife to the River Cafe by the banks of the River Thames, a stone's throw away from Betfair HQ. You won't get much change from £100 (and this is assuming you go for lunch rather than dinner or it will be even more) for the pair of you but the food is wonderful, the decor impeccable and the service immaculate. They've also got something called a Chocolate Nemesis, the mother of all desserts. It's not cheap, it's not for the faint-hearted but it's 1800 calories of chocolate heaven.

2)Buy a showcourt ticket(s) to Wimbledon. There are few commodities in life whose value can go up as dramatically as a Wimbledon ticket, especially if some bloke called Andy Murray starts doing well. After all, his supporters haven't watched tennis for the rest of the year so they're all desperate to finally catch a game. Sell it to the highest bidder.

3)Buy the Seinfeld Box collection containing every episode. The last episode ever made was filmed over a decade and a half ago but the gags still hold strong today whereas Newman and Kramer are two of the best characters ever to have graced our TV screens. Pure quality, a hundred odd hours of comic genius.

4)Back Bangladesh to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Cricket World Cup at 2.1. This is probably the strongest ODI team they've ever had and play all their group matches on home soil. Soil which turns square and will suit their army of spinners I may add. If they manage to make it to the quarters you'll have a grand total of £210. If that happens I'll write a new list of things to do with £210.
