Football

There arefew ties in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy tonight and a decent chance to make a few quid if you back your own judgement.

I'm backing wins for Stockport at Bury, Cheltenham over Walsall, Huddersfield at Darlington, Luton over Brentford and MK Dons against Bournemouth - just £1 on that lot to come off returns a whopping £80!

Or you could back the overall winners of the competition; Leicester are 9/2 favourites, Leeds are 8/1, with last year's winners MK Dons on 10/1 alongside Peterborough.

X-Factor

North East girl group Bad Lashes are rated a 9/4 shot to win the X-Factor this year - does that make it worth having a bet on the hit ITV show?

New arrival Cheryl Cole is the 20/21 massive favourite to be the winning judge this year with Simon Cowell her closest rival at odds of 2/1.
