Beat the Bookies: Week 37

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 08/04/2011

MORECAMBE'S win last week took Beat the Bookies's profits for the year to over £120. Sadly our tip for Sunderland to beat Man City was not one of our best!

Home > 2010-2011 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 37

  • SUNDERLAND (2.27) v West Brom - Sunderland's recent form is not great, they'll want to bounce back from last week.
  • Aston Villa v NEWCASTLE (4.5) - Villa's recent form is poor
  • MAN UTD (1.5) v Fulham - 50% return on your money seems good odds for United

  • Port Vale v SOUTHEND (4.33) - there doesn;'t look much between these two to justify the long away price
  • STOCKPORT (4) v Stevenage - County will be desperate to win this
  • ALDERSHOT (2.75) v Shrewsbury - Shots to spoil the party

  • EASTBOURNE (4) v Fleetwood Town - Eastbourne need to win, and teams at the bottom are good bets at this time of year
  • GRIMSBY (2.75) v Kidderminster - Town have lots of players coming back, Harriers have a few out
  • DARLINGTON (1.83) v Bath City - Darlo's home form is good

    Selected Bets

  • Grimsby to beat Kidderminster , 2.75, William Hill
  • Eastbourne to beat Fleetwood, 4.0, William Hill

  • Monkey's bet: Grimsby to win 3-1, 21.0, Bet365
