Beat the Bookie is back.

Six games. Six exact scores. No safety net.

If you hit the numbers, you take three points. If you’re close, you scrape one. Most weeks, you get neither.

In the Premier League, the calls are bold. PSP 4–1 Knightswood. Glasgow Island 5–2 Bishopton.

If those land, someone’s having a very good Saturday.

GAME 1

PSP 4 Knightswood AFC 1

GAME 2

Glasgow Island 5 Bishopton 2

The Championship looks tighter. Port Glasgow Boys Club and Rhu Colts are down as a 3–3 draw. That one could swing either way.

Woodbank may have a difficult afternoon if the numbers are right. Southside United are backed for a 4–2 away win in what should be an open game.

GAME 3

Port Glasgow Boys Club 3 Rhu Colts 3

GAME 4

Woodbank 2 Southside United 4

Conference looks tight.

Westhill United are down as 4–3 winners over Banknock. That’s likely goals at both ends.

Queens Park SFC face Remo FC, with the call 4–2 to Remo.

GAME 5

Westhill United 4 Banknock 3

GAME 6

Queens Park SFC 2 Remo FC 4

THE RULES

For anyone new to Beat the Bookie, the scoring keeps the pressure firmly on the predictors. Nail the exact score and you pocket three points. Call the right match winner but miss the numbers and you still earn a single point. Simple on paper — brutally difficult in practice.

THE DISCLAIMER

As always, this is all for a bit of fun and absolutely should not be taken too seriously. And finally, a gentle public service reminder: please do not approach Hugh Dunnitt if he gets your score completely wrong. He’s suffering enough already.

Good luck to everyone having a go this week — the chase for the perfect six is very much alive. ⚽
