Beat the Bookies: Week 30
By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 05/03/2009
ALL bets lost last week on a very depressing day for the Mariners. Still at least Barnet and Bournemouth failed to win, although they made up for it in midweek.

Grimsby v Lincoln. Grimsby have not done well in recent games, but they have mainly been against sides near the top, and luck has not been in their favour. Grimsby are back to near full strength, and they face a Lincoln side who need to win to stay in touch win lingering hopes of the play-offs. City have won their last three away games. The best value of the three possible results is the draw, especially if you think it's going to be a low scoring game (in which case a draw is more likely). The draw is available at 12/5. Selection: Draw
Barnet v Chester. Barnet are on a roll at the moment, and another win will probably see them safe, especially if is at the expense of Chester. The Bees looked good against Grimsby, and subsequent results have shown their loan players have fitted in well. The Londoners can be backed at 5/6. Selection: Barnet
Dagenham v Morecambe Daggers have really slumped in form recently and have nosedived right out of the promotion places. Morecambe have been heading in the opposite direction and are on fire right now. Morecambe can be backed with Ladbrokes at 13/5. Selection: Morecambe
Wycombe v Chesterfield Wycombe have been far from convincing all year and find it so difficult to score goals. Chesterfield with Jack Lester in their team rarely have that problem, and could put another dent in Wycombe's promotion campaign. The Spirites can be backed at 7/2. Selection: Chesterfield
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. Morecambe to beat Dagenham. (13/5, Ladbrokes)
- 2. Barnet to beat Chester. (4/5, Bet365)
Recommended Spread Bet
- Rochdale v Grimsby - buy Grimsby Mini Performance (16) at www.igsport.com
The Monkey's Bet
- Grimsby to win 3-1, 80/1 Bet365
