Head to SkySports and check out their What If betting market, where you can find some intriguing, and it has to be said, tempting sports betting options at enhanced odds.

WHAT IF…Christmas Comes Early

WHAT IF…The Home Teams Get Hammered?
There are two Premier League matches this Tuesday, which will have bearing on the relegation scrap at the foot of the table. Bottom side Bolton head to fellow strugglers Blackburn, while Norwich City head to the struggling Wolves. With neither of those two home sides great form, what if both of the away teams won in these fixtures? What if Norwich and Bolton came away with wins, which isn’t too far fetched a scenario? Well, then SkyBet will pay out at odds of 11/1 if it is a successful away day in the Premier League on Tuesday, December 20^th.

WHAT IF…The Big Four see in the New Year?
There is top thrilling betting action coming from the 2012 PDC Darts World Championship at the Ally Pally at the moment, with the big four guns, Phil Taylor, Gary Anderson, James Wade and defending champion Adrian Lewis all hungry for success. What if these four make it to the semi finals in the New Year? If so, it would be Wade v Lewis and Taylor v Anderson if it happens. If all four of the big guns in the 2012 PDC Darts World Championship make it to the semi’s, then SkyBet will pay out at odds of 9/2 for that to happen.

WHAT IF…England win all three Euro 2012 Group Matches?
Fabio Capello’s men have to face the Ukraine, Sweden and France in the group stage of next summer’s finals. Think they can win all three without Rooney? Well, if it happens and you get a bet down on this SkyBet What If option, then you will be paid out at odds of 9/1. Are England that good, or is it wishful thinking?

Personal Highlight – AC Milan V AS Roma

Two of the more prestigious team in Italy do battle once again as Carlo Cudicini takes his Roma side to the San Siro to take on AC Milan with the Milan boss; Leonardo, a Brazilian great, under immense pressure to not only improve Milan’s results but also get the side playing attractive football. Roma made a terrible start to the season but they have shown signs of improved form and they will be aiming to keep their season firmly on track, albeit it a very tough venue.

AC Milan, despite their severe dip in form which has seen them fail to win any of their previous league fixrures, are the favourites to beat an old foe but they were thumped the last time a big side came a calling, in a 4-0 defeat at home to Inter Milan.

Roma, after defeats in their opening two fixtures, have remained unbeaten since, recording three wins and two draws since. They have earned draws in their previous two away outings, neither against noteworthy teams but they would take a draw here.
