Back to profit last week with four out of six correct predictions led by McIlroy's win and Westwood's third place finish at the US Open golf.
These results mean that the blog has moved back into positive territory with a £2.50 profit!
This week I'm back to 10 predictions led by the F1 GP in Valencia and the Moto GP in Assen. Other sports this week include Wimbledon women's tennis, International T20 cricket and Superleague Rugby League.
The Moto GP circus has moved to Assen in The Netherlands this weekend and Simoncelli has bagged pole and I'm backing him for a podium position with run away leader Casey Stoner to win the race. F1 is back in Spain for the second time this season and whilst I don't expect as exciting or long a race as we had in Montreal it should be close. Lewis Hamilton hasn't had his greatest two races lately but he is my prediction to win with Mark Webber's Red Bull to make the podium.
After completing a Test series win against Sri Lanka, England have a one-off T20 match against them today being led by Stuart Broad for the first time and I'm predicting a home win.
Wimbledon is close to it's half-way stage and predictably only Andy Murray from the Brits will feature in the second week of the tournament. My predictions today are both from the women's singles third round matches with defending champion Serena Williams to beat Kirilenko and current world number one and top seed Wozniacki to Gajdosova.
My final set of predictions this weekend are in the Engage Superleague and for Harlequins to continue their upturn in fortunes last weekend by beating Hull KR, Wigan who are putting up a robust defence of their title to defeat Huddersfield and the Catalan Dragons to beat Castleford.
In summary the predictions are as follows:
Assen Moto GP
Stoner to win at 5/4
Simoncelli to podium at 4/11
European F1 GP in Valencia
Hamilton to win at 17/4
Webber to podium at 6/4
T20 Cricket
England to beat Sri Lanka at 8/11
Wimbledon Tennis
Williams to beat Kirilenko at 2/9
Wozniacki to beat Gajdosova at 3/14
Engage Superleague Rugby
Harlequins to beat Hull KR at 13/8
Wigan to beat Huddersfield at 6/19
Catalan Dragons to beat Castleford at 3/10

Bits and Pieces
Apologies for no posts for a couple of weeks due to other commitments but I have a few predictions for this week.
My last set of predictions has resulted me ending up with a small loss on the blog as the current balance is down to -50p as there was only 5 correct forecasts last time out!
The main sporting highlight of this weekend is the US Open which is currently being dominated by Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy and he is my prediction to hold his nerve and go on to win the tournament tomorrow. Lee Westwood improved in the second round and I'm forecasting this improvement to continue and for him to make the top 4.
Rugby League's Engage Superleague continues over the weekend and my two predictions for this are Harlequins to end their losing streak and beat Wakefield at The Stoop and then I'm going for another home win with Huddersfield to beat the Catalan Dragons.
England are half way through their final test match against Sri Lanka at the Rose Bowl and I'm predicting a home win, which may be slightly unwise considering the recent weather! The final prediction is from the world of Superbikes and I'm forecasting current championship leader Carlos Checa to win race 1 in Spain thereby keeping up his recent winning streak.
In summary the predictions for this week are:
US Open Golf
McIlroy to win at 41/100
Westwood to finish top 4 at 10/3
Engage Superleague Rugby League
Harlequins to beat Wakefield at 9/11
Huddersfield to beat Catalan Dragons at 4/9
Test Match Cricket
England to beat Sri Lanka at the Rose Bowl at 11/8
Superbikes in Spain
Checa to win race 1 at 4/5
