Beat the Bookies: Week 11

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 21/10/2011

THERE was only one winner last week (Plymouth) but the long odds ensured the weekend was profitable from that one result alone. It also meant Beat the Bookies is back in profit for the season, the £50 losing weekend a few weeks ago a distant memory.

Premier League Tip

Bolton v Sunderland - away win (3.5, Bet365). Both sides are having up and down seasons, but it seems to be a more event contest than the odds would suggest as Sunderland have gone quite close to getting something in the games they have lost recently.

Championship Tip

Middlesbrough v Derby - away win (5.4, Victor Chandler). Boro are still third despite the fact that they have not won in the last six games. Derby rarely lose and should be good for at least a point.

League Two Tip

Bradford v Northampton - away win (3.3, Victor Chandler). Perennial underachievers Bradford are down at the bottom again. They've only won out of the last six. Northampton seem to be improving after a poor start to the season.

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