Beat the Bookies: Week 26

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 03/02/2012

IF only we'd bet on Crawley to win at Hull last week! Instead we backed the draw or away win, which only paid out at Evens! The rest of the tips all lost so it was a losing week.

FA Cup Tip

Man City v Fulham - away win (14.0, Betfair)
. Man City v Fulham - draw or away win (3.8, Marathon)
Man City have definitely shown they are beatable in the last few weeks, Fulham have improved of late. It could be another upset. We recommend splitting your bet to cover the draw and the away win.

Championship Tip

West Ham v Millwall - away win (6.7, Pinnacle). West Ham were dreadful in midweek. Millwall have been in decent form of late so expect a tough game for the Hammers in this local derby.

League Two Tip

Cheltenham v AFC Wimbledon - away win (5.25, Stan James). Wimbledon lost last week but their recent form has been excellent otherwise and their away form especially has made them a very profitable side to back on their travels this season.

Oxford Utd v Barnet - away win (5.0, Corals). Barnet are doing their usual late season escape act. This time of year any sort of bet on the Bees should be compulsory - the more unlikely the tip the better!

FA Trophy Tip

York v Ebbsfleet United - away win (6.0, Blue Square). The FA trophy has thrown up a few surprises this season. Both these sides are in good form but 5/1 looks a good value bet for the away win
