Beat the Bookies: Week 33

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 10/03/2011 (Last updated: 13/03/2011)

BEAT the Bookies is on a losing streak and we have been so unlucky recently! Woking conceded a last minute equaliser in the derby game with Farnborough last weekend, and then Villa also conceded fairly late against Bolton. What looked like two winners was now two losers!

Home > 2010-2011 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 33

  • Man City v READING (9.0) - you'd have to be very brave to bet on Reading to win, but they did it at Everton and they won at Anfield last year!

  • Hereford v BARNET - Barnet (4.15) are fighting for their lives and need a win a lot more than the Bulls.
  • Northampton v MACCLESFIELD (4.2) - Macclesfield are having a purple patch at the moment, the Cobblers just the opposite.
  • Cheltenham v ALDERSHOT (3.1) - The Shots have drawn a lot of games recently, but the home side are out of form and Aldershot could go one better.
  • Wycombe v STEVENAGE (3.8) - Wycombe have slipped up at home once or twice recently to lesser sides and Stevenage are capable of beating anyone of their day

  • Wrexham v RUSHDEN (4.1) - Rushden have stepped up a bit recently and are one the outside bets to make the play-offs.
  • Newport County v ALTRINCHAM (5.0) - Newport have slipped completely away from the top few sides and could suffer the humiliation of a defeat by the part timers,

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