Beat the Bookies: Week 37

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 11/04/2006

GRIMSBY'S defeat at Carlisle netted Beat the Bookies a tenner, hardly sufficient compensation but one which probably guarantees a season of profitability. The Bookies are beatable after all it would seem!

Home > 2005-2006 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 37


This weekend Grimsby are at home, while the other four sides involved in the League Two promotion race are away. I'd expect Grimsby to beat Shrewsbury at 8/13, Carlisle to win away at out of form Bristol Rovers (13/10). Darlington (11/8) v Northampton and Mansfield (6/4) v Leyton Orient both could be home wins, as both the Quakers and the Stags have notched up some excellent results at home in recent weeks.

Elsewhere in League Two in-form Rushden should beat sorry Rochdale at Nene Park. The Dale are sinking faster than their Spotland pitch, and could yet be dragged into the relegation picture. bet365.com offer a surprisingly generous 6/5 for a Rushden win.

In the Premiership bet365.com offer 4/1 for Bolton to beat Chelsea at home. Chelsea have been dropping points away from home, and won't fancy a trip to Bolton, who have a good record at the Reebok.

RECOMMENDED BET OF THE WEEK:
Rushden to beat Rochdale (6/5)
