There was more joy for Sporting Life readers as This Week's Acca made it back-to-back winning weekends with five teams landing the bet at 18/1.
The team ended a long wait for glory with a 12/1 fivefold last Saturday and did it again seven days later, although the early signs of a repeat weren't positive.
Coventry found themselves trailing to Watford, while Carlisle took a shock lead against Charlton and MK Dons were also behind in their home encounter with Salford - all of that happening within the first 20 minutes.

There were no such worries with Southampton who were 2-0 up at the break, while Peterborough were goalless in their contest with Burton.
And yet at half-time, Milton Keynes had scored three, while the other two found levellers.
The second-half nerves reappeared when Sunderland made it 2-2 at St. Mary's, with the scores also level for Charlton and Peterborough.
The former found the lead as their game entered the final 15 minutes, as had Coventry thanks to Haji Wright's strike, meaning all eyes were on Darren Ferguson's Peterborough in League One.
Step forward Josh Knight as the centre-back found the net in the 88th minute to secure the win for Posh, with Jonson Clarke-Harris adding another deep into injury time to rubber-stamp another winning weekend.

Tom Carnduff, Jake Osgathorpe, Jimmy 'The Punt' Cantrill and Joe Townsend are no different, so thought they may as well turn it into a podcast.
