Beat the Bookies: Week 29

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 10/02/2011

Home > 2010-2011 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 29

  • SUNDERLAND (2.88, Sky Bet) v Tottenham. Sunderland have a good record at home, and Spurs do not always travel well.

  • Cheltenham v HEREFORD (3.4, Bet365) - Hereford have been scoring a lot of goals recently
  • Lincoln v MORECAMBE (3.3, William Hill). Lincoln are so inconsistent it's just like them to lose at home this week.
  • Accrington Stanley v SOUTHEND (3.1, Victor Chandler). Southend are doing very well at the moment.

  • MANSFIELD (2.25, Sky Bet) v Newport County - Newport haven't won for ages
  • LUTON (1.62, Sky Bet) v Fleetwood Town - Luton are on a real roll, and Fleetwood seem to be doing just the opposite.
  • KIDDERMINSTER (1.53, Totesport) v Altrincham - Harries have had a lot of off field problems and sometimes that seems to galvanise a team

  • Monkey's bet: Grimsby to win 3-1 (15.0, Bet365)

    Selected Bets

  • Luton to beat Fleetwood, 1.62, Sky Bet
  • Mansfield to beat Newport, 2.25, Sky Bet
