Beat the Bookies: Week 37
By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 23/04/2009
DARLINGTON'S win over Rochdale ensured Beat the Bookies will once again make a profit this season - with just two weekend's to go. At the moment our spread betting is also showing a small profit. In contrast The Monkey's approach of having the same bet every week is proving rather poor value!

Bournemouth v Grimsby. It's very hard to forecast what's going to happen in this game, as news from the other game at Aldershot may well influence what happens on the pitch. A win for either team means they are safe, a draw for either team means they both need to draw their last game. As it happens Town have the much better form going into the game, and Bournemouth still have rumbling off-field problems to distract them. Town have won or had a good chance of winning nearly every game recently so have to be good value at 3/1 Selection: Grimsby
Aldershot v Chester. Both sides go into this match with injury and motivation problems, reading between the lines. However Chester have got to be favourites with their very existence at stake. Chester started the week as favourites but the money must have been going on Aldershot, as the home side now shade it with the bookies. Overall though the value has to be with Chester at 8/5. Selection: Chester
Darlington v Brentford. Darlo are not going to make the play-offs due to their 10 point deduction but their form is excellent and they could well turn over a Brentford side still celebrating their promotion. The Bees lost at nearby Dagenham in midweek and may well do not much better in the North East. At 9/4 Darlington look a tempting price. Selection: Darlington
Luton v Rochdale. Luton's final home game is bound to be an emotional occasion against a Rochdale side whose form has collapsed at the worst possible time. With many Luton players leaving in the summer they will be desperate to send the home fans, who have been magnificent all season, off with a win. At 3/1 the Hatters look very good value. Selection: Luton
Bradford v Rotherham City's season has fallen apart and they've got a local derby to rub their noses in it a bit more if they lose. With the Bantam's recent form it's amazing to see Rotherham as long as 11/4 Selection: Rotherham
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).
