$20 - DRAW-MAN UNITED ($6.00) = $120 - $40 profit
$20 - TOTTENHAM-DRAW ($6.85) = $137 - $57 profit
$20 - DRAW-DRAW ($10) = $200 - $120 profit
this way I cover my bets and basically can't lose. Everton has very poor record against Tottenham. They lost 1-0 at home to them and haven't won at White Hart Lane since 1986. Man U are in great form (if you can believe) so I don't think they'll lose to Middlesbrough.

Mate I was just looking at some sportstab odds and I think there is better value in taking their multi options:
Tottenham $2.25 x Man U $2.15 = $4.83 x $20.00 = $96.60 Profit $16.60
Draw $3.25 x Man U $2.15 = $6.98 x $20.00 = $139.60 Profit $59.60
Tottenham $2.25 x Draw $3.25 = $7.31 x $20.00 = $146.20 Profit $66.20
Draw $3.25 x Draw $3.25 = $10.56 x $20.00 = $211.20 Profit $131.20
Based on that I don't see your double option as a good investment when you could get a profit from even the most obvious of selections of Tottenham and Man U winning.
Good luck with it though!
