Beat the Bookies: Week 36

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 01/04/2011

LAST week Beat the Bookies had another winner thanks to two late goals by Southport to beat Luton. With nearly £100 profit for the season from a £10 unit stake another profitable year now looks a formality. Sadly the Monkey's counter strategy of doing no research and picking the same result every week has left him £360 out of pocket!

Home > 2010-2011 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 36

  • West Brom v LIVERPOOL (2.4) - Liverpool having a golden patch
  • NEWCASTLE (2.05) v Wolverhampton - Wolves ate rubbish away from home
  • Man City v SUNDERLAND (7.5) - Daft odds, City are very inconsistent
  • Everton v ASTON VILLA (4.6) - Villa have more to play for

  • Wycombe v STOCKPORT (7) - Always go for the clubs at the bottom at this time of year
  • Burton Albion v BARNET (3.75) - Always go for the clubs at the bottom at this time of year
  • Rotherham v MORECAMBE (4.5) - The Millers recent form has been poor
