It's taken nine weeks for safc.com's charity betters to get some winnings in the coffers as last week Andy Reid finally made a breakthrough!

Andy, along with Phil Bardsley, takes part in a charity bet challenge every Thursday, courtesy of Sunderland's official betting partner, Boylesports - and last week was the first time either player has won anything this season!

Boylesports give the pair £50 each to place on whatever bet they choose, at the end of the season any profits are donated to SAFC Foundation, the football club's official charity.

Last week because, the lads haven't fared as well as they did last seaon - Boylesports generously decided that if the players' luck changed they will double their winnings!

This was the week that Andy's tips came up trumps and as it stands there is now £700 in the pot for SAFC Foundation, after his £50 bet at 7/1 was doubled!

The midfielder will be hoping for similar luck this week, and Phil is keener than ever to get off the mark.

Both players have chose to put an accumulator on again this week , backing the following teams:

Andy: West Brom, Oldham, Sheffield Utd, Shrewsbury - 16/1
Phil: Bristol City, Leicester, MK Dons, Dagenham & Redbridge - 10/1

If you fancy taking up either of the players' tips visit Boylesports to place your bets.
