Beat the Bookies: Week 30

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 19/02/2011 (Last updated: 13/03/2011)

LAST week did not turn out to be too successful with Luton losing at home, and Mansfield failing to topple Newport. The best way to bounce back though is as always to have another bet!

Home > 2010-2011 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 30

  • Fleetwood Town v GRIMSBY (3.6 Victor Chandler) - Fleetwood's recent form is poor, and for Town it's something of a last chance saloon to make or break their season.
  • BARROW (2.88 Victor Chandler) v Mansfield - Mansfield don't seem to be doing very well at the moment, and Barrow is a difficult place to win at.
  • Cambridge Utd v KIDDERMINSTER (2.5 Bet Fred) - Cambridge were lucky to get something against Grimsby so their price could be overinflated.

  • West Brom v WOLVERHAMPTON (4.6 Victor Chandler) - West Brom cannot win even when they are 3-0 up at half time! Wolves had a superb result against Man Utd. They are not so hot away from home but WBA is almost home!

  • Torquay v SOUTHEND (3.7 Bet365) - Southend are on a great run at the moment and could win this battle of the resorts
  • Wycombe v ACCRINGTON STANLEY (5.0 Sky Bet) - Stanley have caused a few upsets this season and could grab another at Wycombe.
  • Cheltenham v BARNET (4.33 Victor Chandler) - Both these clubs are short of form, but Barnet could spring a surprise.
  • Northampton v ALDERSHOT (4.0 Bet365) - The Shots are totally unpredictable, but this is the sort of tie they have a habit of winning

  • Monkey's bet: Grimsby to win 3-1 (19.0, Bet365)

    Selected Bets

  • Grimsby to beat Fleetwood, 3.6 Victor Chandler
  • Wolves to beat WBA, 4.6 Victor Chandler
