Your weekly Suggest-A-Bet competition is back for your chance to win a free €50/£50 bet, although there’s no prizes for guessing the most obvious destination for your ideas this week.
All eyes will almost certainly be on Merseyside on Saturday when Everton and Liverpool meet. Always great fun and never anything less than the old football favourite of “110%” being given - who can forget Jamie Carragher’s wrestle-mania antics in the same fixture last season?
New boys Stoke and Hull have the dubious pleasure of playing Chelsea and Hull Arsenal respectively whilst Jermain Defoe will be renewing acquaintances with Spurs on Sunday. If you don’t fancy the football we’ve also got the spectacle on Sunday of the first ever night-time Grand Prix, taking place under floodlights in Singapore.
Or you may have an idea yourself on another sporting theme taking place this weekend. I reckon your chances of winning our 50 quid free bet is going to be slightly better than winning this weekend’s 100million Lottery so get your creative juices flowing!
Deadline Thursday lunchtime.

This suggestion could be made a regular bet on Premier League Saturday fixtures.
What will be the height, in centimetres, of the first goal-scorer from this Saturday’s Premier League Matches which have a 3pm kick-off.
Of the 400+ players in the 20 Premier League squads, the height ranges from 165 to 198
Of the top 29 goal-scorers thus far(see below), 14 are within the height range 165 and 182, while 15 are within the range 183 and 198. So pretty evenly matched:
PLAYER TEAM GLS HT
1 Gabriel Agbonlahor Aston Villa 4 180
2 Amr Zaki Wigan Athletic 4 185
3 Emmanuel Adebayor Arsenal 3 190
4 John Carew Aston Villa 3 193
5 Kevin Davies Bolton 3 183
6 Jermain Defoe Portsmouth 3 169
7 Blumer Elano Manchester City 3 174
8 Mido Middlesbrough 3 188
9 Robin Van Persie Arsenal 3 183
10 Shaun Wright-Phillips Manchester City 3 166
11 Ayegbeni Yakubu Everton 3 183
12 Nicolas Anelka Chelsea 2 185
13 Dean Ashton West Ham Utd 2 185
14 Roman Bednar WBA 2 190
15 Darren Bent Tottenham 2 180
16 Tim Cahill Everton 2 178
17 Michael Chopra Sunderland 2 175
18 Deco Chelsea 2 174
19 Neves Denilson Arsenal 2 178
20 David Di Michele West Ham Utd 2 169
21 Darren Fletcher Man Utd 2 183
22 Ricardo Fuller Stoke City 2 191
23 Marlon King Hull City 2 185
24 Frank Lampard Chelsea 2 183
25 James Morrison WBA 2 178
26 Leon Osman Everton 2 173
27 Michael Owen Newcastle 2 173
28 Jason Roberts Blackburn 2 185
29 De Souza Robinho Manchester City 2 172
So, a simple choice of two:
165-182 or 183-198
Stats are taken from the Official Premier League website.
