By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 16/04/2011

LAST week Grimsby were the villains, conceding a fairly late goal to Kidderminster. The less said about the other prediction the better!

Home > 2010-2011 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 38

  • BIRMINGHAM (2.2) v Sunderland - Sunderland in a slump!

  • Shrewsbury v STOCKPORT (7.5) - always back the bottom teams at this time of year, no matter how unlikely
  • Bury v BARNET - always back the bottom teams at this time of year, no matter how unlikely
  • Wycombe v NORTHAMPTON - we keep telling you, always back the bottom teams at this time of year, no matter how unlikely
  • Chesterfield v MACCLESFIELD - might as well stick on the upset theme
  • Rotherham v HEREFORD - another upset!
  • Burton Albion v CHELTENHAM - Burton have played so many games recently it's starting to tell

  • Fleetwood Town v ALTRINCHAM - the usual upset strategy
  • EASTBOURNE BORO v Kidderminster - the usual upset strategy
  • GRIMSBY v Bath City - Town are due a win!

    Selected Bets

  • Stockport/Barnet/Northampton/Macclesfield/Hereford, 10 x £2 trebles, Totesport
