Beat the Bookies: Week 25
By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 14/01/2011
LAST Week's Beat the Bookies returned to winning ways after Altrincham's impressive win at Rushden, when they managed to come from behind as well. It meant Beat the Bookies won over 70 quid to ensure we stay well in profit for the season - unlike The Monkey!

And don't forget our second bet - Leeds to beat Arsenal. How close we came!
Beat the Bookies's methodology is usually to spot low frequency events, but which are more likely than the implied probability of the best price on offer at all the bookies. Keep betting on these underestimated prices, and though you will lose most of the time, overall you will make a profit - and we do - usually!
