Beat the Bookies: Week 4

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 02/09/2011

LAST Week three out of five of our tips won to ensure the record of making a profit every week was maintained. Two of them were odds on but winners all count even if the return is small!

Home > 2011-2012 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 4

League One Tip

Stevenage v Rochdale - home win (1.95, Hills). Rochdale had a good year last season but the signs are they are going to struggle this season without Keith Hill at the helm. Stevenage are solid at home and should pick up three points.

League Two Tip

Crawley v Bristol Rovers - away win (5.0, Victor Chandler). Crawley have lost their last three games, is the bubble starting to burst? Rovers don't often lose and could well pick up at least a point.

Blue Square Premier Tip

Southport v AFC Telford - away win (2.62, Bet365). Southport, who should by rights have been relegated last year, look like struggling again this campaign. AFC Telford have beaten Newport and York recently so you'd expect them to win this.

Previous Fixed Odds Bets (1 or 2 bets, around £10 per week each of Rob's own money)
