Cheers titan
I really will have to try & get my bets posted earlier - both sets of bets today didn't get posted until a couple of minutes before the match not giving people enough time to benefit really 
Hope everyone else had similar luck to me

Oh well, didn't make anymore bets during "Week 3". Will compose a post comparing strike rates etc from previous weeks next Monday - after Week 4 has finished & therefore "Month 1" is done & dusted.
Week 4 : Starting Bank £11.27
Champions League Tuesday
Man Utd v Lyon
Same bet as I did for the Everton game here "Man Utd To Score Either 2 Or 3 Goals & Win @ (approx) 1.89" by dutching the following correct scores :
1 Man Utd 2-0 @ 6.00 Stake: 0.63 Single
2 Man Utd 2-1 @ 8.00 Stake: 0.47 Single
3 Man Utd 3-0 @ 9.00 Stake: 0.42 Single
4 Man Utd 3-1 @ 11.00 Stake: 0.34 Single
5 Man Utd 3-2 @ 29.00 Stake: 0.13 Single
The total stake with this one is actually £1.99  Wanted to make the stake an even £2 but adding the odd penny to any of the individual stakes unfairly added bias to that particular result throwing the final price into dispute. The correct scores also work as kind of a "No Score DNB"  Am also covering myself with "Lyon +0.5 AH @ 3.15" with £1. So basically the best result for me will be 0:0 at 90mins  You watch, the Mancs will win 1:0 or score more than 3 now...
As at the weekend, this dutch (on the correct score) will be counted as one bet for strike rate purposes.
1 Lyon +0.5 @ 3.15 Stake: 1.00 Single
2 Man Utd To Score 2 Or 3 Goals & Win @ (approx) 1.89 Stake £1.99
Remaining Bank £8.28

Sevilla v Fenerbache
1 Over 3.5 Goals @ 2.39 Stake: 0.56 Single
2 Fenerbahce +0.5 AH @ 3.25 Stake: 0.42 Single
Barcelona v Celtic
3 Scott McDonald AGS @ 4.50 Stake: 0.30 Single
Remaining Bank £7.00
And that's it for pre-match betting. Hopefully I won't have to resort to In-Play betting to salvage any of these bets back...

Chelsea v Olympiakos
1 Olympiakos +0.5 AH @ 3.95 Stake: 0.31 Single
2 Chelsea -1.5 AH @ 1.77 Stake: 0.69 Single
Have come up with this "Laying Chelsea win by 1 goal @ 1.22" here, which might be a mistake. Olympiakos have only ever lost by 2 or more goals on English soil though.
For strike rate purposes this dutch counts as 1 bet.
Real Madrid v Roma
Have come up with "Real Madrid Score Exactly 3 Goals & Win @ 5.20" by dutching the following :
1 Real Madrid 3-0 @ 13.00 Stake: 0.40 Single
2 Real Madrid 3-1 @ 13.00 Stake: 0.40 Single
3 Real Madrid 3-2 @ 26.00 Stake: 0.20 Single
For strike rate purposes this dutch is being counted as 1 bet.
EuroStar AGS Lucky 15 - Total Stake £1.50
1 Gonzalez Raul @ 2.40
2 Kevin Kuranyi @ 3.75
3 Steven Gerrard @ 2.75
4 Joe Cole @ 3.60
This is a Lucky 15 & therefore cannot count as 1 bet
Remaining Bank £4.84
Might have to salvage bank with In Play betting but hopefully not.

Chelsea won by more than 1 goal, Real Madrid lost , However Raul scored for Real, Gerrard scored for Liverpool, Kuranyi & Joe Cole missed out. I could curse my luck you know sometimes - I had originally picked Ballack from the Chelsea game & replaced him at the last minute 
New Bank £7.25
Current Week 4 Strike Rate 5/22
Week 4 Total Staked £7.77 Week 4 Total Returns £3.75

Eek, didn't realise I hadn't posted up my losing bet on Everton last night.
UEFA Cup Fiorentina v Everton : Everton @ 3.30 Stake £1.25
Obviously, this lost.
New Bank £6.00
Current Week 4 Strike Rate 5/23
Week 4 Total Staked £9.02 Week 4 Total Returns £3.75
And now.....
A bad story this. Problems with thinking about only doing 1 bet you have to request from the Customer Services - the minimum bet charge...
Aaargh...
Oh well, no problem, I think I've picked a couple of strong ones in with the two outrageous bets. that's the problem with phoning up unprepared... Why the Online Customer Service chat guy didn't warn me about the minimum stake per phone call I just don't know.
For future reference : Telephoning Bet365 Customer Service requires bets totalling a minimum of £5.
And on to my bets I've placed. The one I requested first....
1) Correct Score : Liverpool 4-3 @ 101.00 Stake £1.00
It's once I placed this bet that I was informed about the minimum stake.... And so :
(it must be remembered I was on the phone & had to think on my feet for these)
2) Reading v Man City : Draw @ 3.25 Stake £1.00
3) Man Utd v Portsmouth : Double Chance - Portsmouth Or Draw @ 3.20 Stake £1.00
4) Liverpool v Newcastle : Over 2.5 Goals @ 1.90 Stake £1.00
5) Sunderland v Everton : Everton -1.5 AH @ 4.80 Stake £1.00
Remaining Bank £1.00
With the exception of the Man Utd v Pompey bet, I have recommended these at some point during this week's OLBG v The Bookies.
OK, there's 3 bets from the 5 that quite possibly have no chance. Plus I seem to have blown most of my betting bank I should've checked to see if there was a minimum bet on the phone I guess... Oh well, that's one to chalk down to experience & next time I do something like request a bet I'd best be prepared with back up bets that have a chance.
Edit - Just taken an AGS from the Oldham v Tranmere. Huge price for our scoring defender that deserves to be taken
1 Shane Sherriff @ 13.00 Stake: 0.10 Single
Remaining Bank £0.90

Pompey won Well done lads
Reading beat Man City, Liverpool won 3:0  (only saying that because of my 100/1 shot ) : Tranmere got beat 3:1 and Shane didn't score Tranmere's goal 
So, 7 bets; 2 winners, 4 losers & 1 still to play.
New Bank £5.10
Current Week 4 Strike Rate 7/29
Week 4 Total Staked £14.02 Week 4 Total Returns £8.85
This does not include stakes of open bets - there is currently 1 open bet total stake £1.00
Still possible to have an alright weekend only dropping a couple of pounds from the start of the week - if I don't have any more bets Debating taking "3 Star Pensioners : Chelsea To Score 3 Or More Goals @ 2.37"... Have only got 10 minutes to decide....
Edit - Decided to take that :
1 Chelsea To Score 3 Or More @ 2.37 Stake: 1.00 Single
Remaining Bank £4.10

Eek, long time no postings. Sorry. Have been a bit embarrassed about my ongoing Bet365 Top Trumps playing problems : ie I have a few drinks win a virtual fortune & then decide to start playing with whatever is in my betting bank which invariably means I lose my betting bank.
It's worse this past weekend as I had amassed a fair bit in the betting bank due to Shane Sherriff being a high stakes high priced winning AGS Then got cocky & placed my whole bank on 1 bet on Sunday, Everton to win Staked lots, won lots & blew the whole bank
So, a small wager today from my William Hill account - it only had £0.80 in it so before topping up all my accounts to the same level have decided to blow the lot with a last hurrah of recklessness. Don't try this at home kids.
3p Yankee :
Birmingham V Newcastle : Birmingham to win @ 2.30
Freiburg V F C Koln : F C Koln to Win @ 2.70
Midtjylland V Nordsjaelland : Draw @ 3.40
Mlada Boleslav V Sparta Prague : Sparta Prague to Win @ 2.00
Plus, have also gone with 47p on Birmingham @ 2.30.
To be honest, if it wasn't for my ante-post bets (pre season footy picks) at William Hill I'd probably have closed that account down by now. Some markets are alright with it though & you can get slightly better prices than other bookies on some bets - not all, a lot of the time they're similarly priced. Will have to check my Coral account too now that I think of it.
