Beat the Bookies: Week 27

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 10/02/2012

MOST of last weeks tips were postponed. The two matches that did survive the weather both ended up with the wrong result however. So time to focus on another weekend!

Home > 2011-2012 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 27

Premier League Tip

Tottenham v Newcastle - away win (draw no bet) (6.0, Marathon)
. All focus will be on Spurs this weekend after the Harry Redknapp saga has turned him into a household name with the general public who weren't be familiar with him before. Spurs could react either way. However Newcastle are one of the form sides in the country at the moment. Marathon's draw no bet price for an away win is almost as good as most bookies's away win price, and has the added security of getting your money back if it ends up a draw. Fill your boots!

Championship Tip

Reading v Coventry - away win (8.0, Pinnacle). Regular readers of this column will know we often tip Reading to lose at home, and have made quite a bit from it. Coventry are desperate for points and at this time of year the bottom sides often raise their game. Expect a surprise.

League Two Tip

Port Vale v Crewe - away win (4.0, Sky Bet). Both teams are in reasonable form for this localish derby, but Crewe's is better with 4 wins out of 6.

Macclesfield v Plymouth - away win (3.25, Ladbrokes). One look at the recent form suggests one winner. Macclesfield have lost 5 straight games, Plymouth are desperate for the points as well.

Blue Square Premier Tip

Forest Green v Luton - away win (2.15, Blue Square). Luton seem to win virtually ever game. The fact that one bookies is prepared to offer such long odds against makes it a no brainer to back this as an way win.
