Skybet have got a decent free bet system in place this season. Basically you have to bet £5 on odds of 5/1 or more on an accumulator once a week and every week you do so they give you a free £5 bet to use on whatever you want. I bet £10 on a treble of QPR, Reading, and Notts Forest and got just over 5/1. Returned £60 and I get a free £5 bet too. Happy days. Going to use the free bet on Brighton, Forest, Middlesborough treble in the League Cup. 1.67/1. Brighton are home to Newport, Forest home to Hartlepool and Middlesborough home to Accrington Stanley. Seems like more easy money to me!
With regards to Sky's offer this season, last season it was at any odds each week. It obviously wasn't in their interests to do that again this season. I wonder why? They've stretched it to 5/1 for a reason. If you win with the £5 + £5 5/1 accumulator every 6 weeks you'll break even. I think this offer is pretty cheeky and pretty transparent. Their odds usually aren't as good as the others, although later on last season they went through a period of being better than several of the main online bookies. However, if long shot acca's are what you do every week anyway, it's worth doing. Personally I think doubles and trebles at most have a good success rate. You can go through periods of 2 wins out of 3 and leave it when the divisions start getting desperate for results etc.

Paddy Power are refunding all first/last scorer, score cast and correct score bets if Blackburn win at Derby today. I think Rovers will win comfortably so worth sticking a bit of money on the game.
I looked at BTTS at 8/11 but didn't.

They have drifted the odds allowed to either make people lose small money they don't notice, or notice to begin with, and if they do make anything, Skybet are not going to notice it. I'm not saying the one they offered for small £5 + £5 bets last year would dent their balance sheet, but I know which one would lose them more money if everyone valued the £5 + £5 as if it was £50 or £500 and made careful selections. I don't think running 2 acca's each week is a good strategy IMO. Difficult enough picking 1,2 or 3 results. Picking at least 6 and spreading them over 2 acca's is reducing your chances. I forgot to back Sheff Utd. Was going to, but forgot. I never fancied the Blackburn win or a scorecast bet covered by Bburn to win. The BTTS and your draw were more likely. There's a reason Paddy's do those offers and they pull people in to bet on something they weren't going to.

Championship looks a bit trickier this week. Bookies haven't taken form into account in a few ties and some generous away odds for Bournemouth, Derby, Leeds. Blackpool v Barnsley is dodgy with Ince suspended for 2 games. Fancy at a glance: IPSWICH 19/20 V Miiiii SWINDON 4/5 v Stevenage BRADFORD 4/5 v Carlisle LEYTON ORIENT 5/6 v Shrewsbury

Corals are offering an online matched bet of up to £20 for existing customers this weekend. Quite likely it won't work online though.
