Beat the Bookies: Week 30

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 02/03/2012

THREE winners last weekend helped restore Beat the Bookies to a healthy profit for the season. Yorkshire sides Rotherham and Sheff Wed romped home to put a smile on the face of anyone who follows our selections. Sadly York's win over Grimsby probably didn't!

Premier League Tip

Fulham v Wolverhampton (6.8, Marathon)
. Wolves are still fighting for their lives and have a new manager to propel them to safety. Fulham don't have that much to play for now this season, a couple more wins and they'll be safe.

League Two Tip

Hereford v AFC Wimbledon - away win (2.95, Dafabet). It's time to return to backing Wimbledon to win away, something we have done 8 times this season, (4 were right, 3 were wrong, and 1 was void). Neither side's form is great, but the Dons have not been losing much, and should beat struggling Hereford.

Blue Square Premier Tip

Grimsby v Braintree Town - away win (6.2, SMarkets). Town still have players missing and breaking up a settled side had an adverse effect last week. Braintree thrashed Grimsby at the start of the season, and they have the potential to be a bogey side if the Town crowd get restless.

Blue Square South Tip

Woking v Maidenhead - away win (8.75, Canbet). Woking have are flying at the top of the BSS but they haven't been firing on all cylinders and like Town with Braintree were thrashed by Maidenhead earlier this season. Could another upset be on the Cards (every pun intended)?
