EmailFootball betting: All good things must come to an end. That hot streak of luck, that delicious chocolate cheesecake - hey, even this sports betting column will eventually outstay its welcome. It's a crying shame.
Queens Park Rangers - cue big cheers from all of my fellow Super Hooped readers, or in more realistic terms, just mother Jones - have started the Championship season unexpectedly well.
Two games, two wins, seven goals and none conceded, they will no doubt play a huge part in many people's accumulators this weekend as relegation favourites Scunthorpe United roll into west London.
But you heard it here first comrades: don't be fooled by the form. In both of their opening league games they have ridden their luck, somehow surviving three stonewall penalty appeals and having their woodwork struck four times.
Stay well clear of the Rs as they have a canny ability to let you down when all logical explanations point towards them.
Replace them in your multiples this week with Stoke City (13/5 Ladbrokes.com), who should profit from Spurs having one eye on next week's make-or-break Champions League second leg against Young Boys.
