Beat the Bookies: Week 28

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 07/02/2011 (Last updated: 10/02/2011)

WELL last week we can't blame bad luck as our tip Cambridge lost 4-0. In fact they played so badly the manager was sacked after the game. The other tip was postponed so we only lost half our money.

With Grimsby not playing this weekend there is more reason than ever to look elsewhere for the best prices.

  • NEWCASTLE (5.5 Bet Fred) v Arsenal. Arsenal do not always travel, especially to the North East.
  • WEST HAM (2.1, Boyle Sports) v Birmingham. West Ham seem on the way up, the Blues heading in the opposite direction.
  • Stoke v SUNDERLAND (4.0, Victor Chandler). Both teams are inconsistent but 3/1 looks a good price for the away win.
  • MAN CITY (1.44, Victor Chandler) v West Brom. Apart from Blackpool WBA have not won in ages.

  • Stevenage v ACCRINGTON STANLEY (4.5, Sky Bet)
  • Chesterfield v ALDERSHOT (5.0, Sky Bet)
  • Bury v BURTON ALBION (4.6, Victor Chandler)
  • Torquay v STOCKPORT (6.0, Victor Chandler)

  • Tamworth v HISTON (6.0, 888 Sport)

  • Monkey's bet: N/A

    Selected Bets

  • West Ham to beat Birmingham, 2.1, Boyle Sports
  • Accrington Stanley to beat Stevenage, 4.5, Sky Bet
