LAST week's tips sadly all lost. If Rob Atkinson hadn't have been sent off of course it all might have been a different story at Bradford.

There's some very tight fixtures in League Two this weekend, starting with Grimsby v Exeter where all three outcomes seem equally likely - one to be avoided!
Rochdale v Morecambe Morecambe have pulled off some impressive results this season, and are more than capable of getting something from this local derby. Rochdale are obviously favourites after three wins on the bounce which have pushed them close to the top three, but at generous odds of 5/1 it's worth considering an upset. Selection: Morecambe
Chesterfield v Lincoln Lincoln have drawn four out of five, and won the fifth. They too have a short trip to Chesterfield. Both these sides are marginally better away than they are at home and City should be good for at least a point and why not 9/4 for all three? Selection: Lincoln
Macclesfield v Notts County Both these sides are inconsistent and that's why they are stuck in the middle of the table. There really doesn't look anything to pick between them, and Notts County are the draw specialists of League Two so why not go for another draw at 9/5? Selection: Draw
Bury v Dag & Red Although Bury are fourth they have lost four times at home already this season. Dagenham, as Town saw recently, do not lose many games, and are difficult to play against away from home where they set their stall out to not let the opposition settle. Daggers can be backed at 11/4 on Sky Bet. Selection: Dag & Red
Accrington Stanley v Luton Both sides have terrible form at the moment, and a defeat for the Hatters could well be the final nail in the coffin. Accrington on the other hand don't need many more points to avoid the drop for certain and they'll be desperate to pick up three points against a side with almost as bad form as they have. Stanley are worth backing at 7/5 Selection: Accrington
This season we will be trying out three different betting strategies:
- Fixed Odds - as per last year
- Spread Betting on the Mini Performance Index with IG Index (25 points for a win, 10 for a draw, 10 for a goal)
- The Monkey (betting on Town to win each game 3-1, i.e. the complete absence of any betting strategy).
Recommended Fixed Odds Bets
- 1. Dagenham to beat Bury . (11/4, Sky Bet),
- 2. Morecambe to beat Rochdale. (5/1, Bet365)
Recommended Spread Bet
- No bet this week.
The Monkey's Bet
- Grimsby to win 3-1, 20/1 Bet365
