West Bromwich Albion, the perrennial underdogs who permanently inhabit the lower echelons of the Premier League against Middlesbrough, all conquering European heroes and potential FA Cup winners. Foregone conclusion? Not a chance. It's a relegation six-pointer at The Hawthorns and that's the proce that Boro are paying for not turning up in the bread and butter fixtures earlier in the season. We can beat Manchester United easily enough and sweep Chelsea aside with ease but when it comes down to playing the lesser lights, we fade away faster than Sunderland's Premiership survival hopes did.

Albion will be up for this one and I'm just not sure at all where I should put my money. So in the best traditions of fence-sitting and edging it, let's take the arbitrage route for this one, as the odds are just right for a no-loser on Albion v Boro, The Hawthorns, Sunday afternoon

If you haven't tried an arb before, the principle is very simple. You back all three possible outcomes with three different bookies creating a situtaion for yourself where you will make a profit whatever the outcome of the match.

A couple of things to take note of before we start. The system hinges on the free bets that you get from the bookies and if you are an existing account holder with any of them, then it won't work. If that is the case, just email us and we'll find you an alternative bookie. We're on hand right up until kick-off.

Also, please check the odds before placing your bets as although it is rare for them to change on the day of the match, it can sometimes happen.

This bet is guaranteed by us. If you follow the instructions on here to the letter and click on the links on this page, we offer a 2100% guarantee. If it doesn't all work like we say it will, we will refund any losses that you make. No quibbles, no hassles, just a straigt refund if you don't finish in profit. Easy as that. So here goes...

So you overall profit on West Brom v Middlesbrough will be a minimum of £51, whatever the result and possibly as much as £67.50.

Arbitrage is a great system and one that you really cannot afford to try, as you ahve absolutely nothing to lose and quite a few quid to gain.

So have a go and brighten up your Sunday and good luck to you all. Not that you'll be needing any luck of course...
