Beat the Bookies: Week 40

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 04/05/2007

LAST week Accrington avoided relegation and Stockport's promotion push took a blow with their 0-0 draw at home to Bury, so it wasn't a good result for Beat the Bookies.

Home > 2006-2007 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 40


This weekend Grimsby travel to Shrewsbury intent on ruining the Shrews' promotion party and saying farewell to Gay Meadow for once and for all. Bet365.com are offering 6/1 for a Town win, the only bet worth considering on your coupon this week. Town's recent form is reasonable and they will be free to play their natural game against a nervy Shrewsbury side desperate for a win. There's nothing to choose between the recent form of the two teams and there are no way that those odds can be justified. As its such a good bet this week its the only recommendation at double the normal stake
