Beat the Bookies: Week 26

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 20/01/2011

LINCOLN'S defeat at home to Wycombe ensured that Beat the Bookies made a small profit last week. The big gambles on Chelsea and Man City losing didn't pay off but City looked like losing at one stage,

Home > 2010-2011 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 26

  • BLACKBURN (2.3 Victor Chandler) v West Brom - West Brom's recent form is terrible. Blackburn is never an easy place to go.
  • WOLVERHAMPTON (3.4 Victor Chandler) v Liverpool. Wolves are definitely the form horse here.
  • NEWCASTLE (3.25 Victor Chandler) v Tottenham. Both teams are doing well, but the Geordies to shade it at home.
  • Everton v WEST HAM (7.5 Victor Chandler). Avram Grant to get another stay of execution. Stockport v LINCOLN (3.0, Stan James). Stockport's recent form is even worse than Lincoln's.
  • Stevenage v MORECAMBE (4.2, Bet365). Morecambe's recent form is vastly better than Stevenage's.
  • Port Vale v CHELTENHAM (3.0, Bet365). Vale have lot 4 of the last 6 league games. GRIMSBY (3.5 Blue Square) v Crawley Town. Grimsby will get a boost from their new signing, plus they'll raise their game as it's Crawley.
  • Newport County v RUSHDEN (4.33 Blue Square). Both sides are struggling at the moment but Rushden will have got a boost by their terrific midweek draw.
  • ALTRINCHAM (2.5 Victor Chandler) v Bath City. Altrincham have really improved in recent weeks.

  • Monkey's bet: Grimsby to win 3-1 (26.0, Bet365)

    Selected Bets

  • West Ham to beat Everton, 7.5, Victor Chandler
