Beat the Bookies: Week 24
By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 06/01/2011
LAST Week's theory that there were going to be lots of upsets in the Blue Square League almost came true, but there were more on the Bank Holiday than on New Year's Day itself. Nevertheless upsets are the name of the game at the moment in all divisions, so keep backing them!
This week it's the FA Cup Third Round, traditionally the weekend of the greatest upsets of them all. In the previous round Beat the Bookies tipped two bets at 6/1 and 10/1 that both came in! Plus we have a near full set of Blue Square fixtures to choose from if the FA Cup is not enough for you.
