Beat the Bookies: Week 23

WITH no football last week hardly, the only tip we could come up with (Sunderland to win at Old Trafford) proved well wide of the mark. At least it was long odds!
Home > 2010-2011 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 23
As there has been so little football of late in the lower leagues and it's New Year's Day, our only advice is to expect the unexpected. It's a bit pointless looking at form as it's all so long ago. Effectively it's like the season almost starting again.
Our advice this week therefore is to back every Blue Square Premier game to be an away win.
We don't normally recommend multiple bets, as they are poor value if all placed with the same bookmaker, However this week is exceptional, so we are making ad exception!
The total odds of all the matches coming in as away wins is over 11 million to 1 with Sky Bet! Therefore we recommend just betting on lesser perms, such as 4-folds or 5-folds.
We've chosen this week to do all 4-folds, 495 combinations at 5p each, a total bet of £24.75. The maximum possible win is over £14K!
