IT'S been a slow start for our junior football tipsters who have failed to land a winning treble.
William Hill's Owen Scott takes on McBookie's Paul Petrie and while you can put the bets online with McBookie you can only do them in William Hill shops.
The dynamic duo are hoping to get off the mark this weekend.
Owen writes: It doesn't seem to be getting any better this season as I seek my first treble of the season. This would be the ideal time to get it as I spent last weekend in Blackpool and my bank balance took a bit of a hammering so here goes once again.
The first round of the Scottish Junior Cup takes place and there are lots of short-priced options that I could take to ensure I'm on a winner but I'll avoid the 1-10 and 1-20 shots for another week or two.
I'm going to start my treble in the East Region and take Dundonald at 8-13 to beat Arniston. This won't be an easy match as both teams are in form but I reckon the leaders will get the win.
In the Scottish Cup I'm looking at a clash where both sides are in the same division and I can only see one winner here. Shettleston 1-2 play host to Ardeer and although the Ayrshire side sit above the Glasgow men I reckon it's a home win as they look to embark on a decent cup run.
It's another Central v Ayrshire clash I'm completing my treble with and I'm on Ardrossan at 10-11 as they travel to St Anthony's. The Ants have had a poor start to the season and the experience of the Ayrshire side will see them return home with their name in the second-round draw.

Paul writes: I always like taking on the North Region in the Scottish Cup against the lower teams in the East and the West Regions and it normally throws up some decent prices
First up I am on Annbank to beat Stoneywood at 20-23. I know Owen has them priced up at 11-4 and hopefully we have called this right.
Next I am going for Forth to beat Dufftown at 21-20. Forth have actually been well backed to win their league but have made an awful start. They had a good cup run last year so hopefully that will drive them on.
Finally, I am on Roysth to beat Parkvale at 8-15. Both are actually sitting in third in their respective leagues so have started the season well. Again I just hope the better standard in the East will be enough for a win.
