Beat the Bookies: Week 29

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 14/02/2007

LAST weekend Beat the Bookies looked certain for another win when Bristol Rovers went 2-0 up. Thankfully Town's revival meant it wasn't to be a winning week, but 3 points more than made up for it!

This weekend Grimsby take on Mansfield, and the Mariners will be backed by a noisy away contingent, probably the largest of the season so far to follow Town on their travels. The bookies make the Stags favourites at Evens, but Town will be buoyed by their last two wins when the goals have flowed. Although Grimsby are still defensively suspect, the players will be up for it, and Town are worth backing to win at 12/5.

Elsewhere in League Two Hartlepool are on an unstoppable run win of 8 wins and 2 draws out of their last 10 games. They face bottom club Torquay away and yet somehow are still Evens to win. If there is one game that must be on your coupon this week it is Hartlepool to win at Torquay.

Wrexham are the opposite of Hartlepool, a team that just cannot win - just three draws from 10 games have seen the Dragons move into a relegation place. This week they take on Chester at home, a team poised just below the play-offs, whose form is respectable. Once again the bookies seem to be showing generous odds for an away win, offering 2/1 for a Chester win.

So this week there are two outstanding away win bets with Hartlepool and Chester. Next best is the Mariners to pick up another 3 points at Mansfield.

Recommended Bets

  • 1. Hartlepool to beat Torquay (Evens).
  • 2. Chester to beat Wrexham (2/1).
