International friendlies aren't everyone's cup of tea, but there's still a few interesting bets to be had, and we suggest that you make World Cup hopefuls Croatia (2/5) and Spain (1/2) the starting point for your weekend accas. They should beat Iran and Russia respectively, while Denmark (4/5) can also be fancied to beat Paraguay, who'll be mindful of picking up injuries ahead of the World Cup. Uruguay are no slouches (as England found out in March), but their opponents Serbia (5/6) are no mugs either and can edge this game. The France v Mexico game could be tight with neither side giving away too much, so the draw looks attractive at 12/5 and completes the acca, giving us a return of £471.24 for a £20 stake.

Staying with the 'beautiful' game, this weekend will also see new recruits decided for both the Championship and League One, and we reckon both Play-Off finals will be won 'ugly' in extra time (or even after penalties!). So, for Swansea (7/5) v Barnsley (15/8) and Grimsby (7/5) v Cheltenham (15/8), we'll be having a crafty tenner on the 'draw' double (11/5 for both games), which pays out at just over £100!

The 'Royal' meeting may be some weeks away, but horse racing returns this weekend to the new-look Ascot, and the Michael Stoute-trained Mountain High should be able to follow-up his win at Newmarket in the Listed Festival Stakes (2.40). That race is one of eight shown live on Channel 4, which means that Hatters Bet customers clever enough to back a winner at 4/1 or over in any of these races can take advantage of a free bet on the next live Channel 4 race. More details in the 'News & Offers' section on our homepage.

England (10/11 pre-match) will surely win the 2nd Test against Sri Lanka, which gets under way at Edgbaston on Thursday (live In-Play betting available), providing they can take more catches than they did in the 1st Test! However, there are no catches to worry about with Hatters Bet's £100 Free Bet basket, which is available to all new customers who sign up and place a bet. To start off with, we'll match your opening bet up to £25, with up to another £75 in free bets to come.
