Beat the Bookies: Week 9

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 07/10/2011

LAST week Beat the Bookies lost fifty quid as all five tips failed, some of them quite miserably. Enough said! This week it is an international weekend so there are limited opportunities to fleece the bookies, unless you can pick out a winner from the Euro qualifiers

League Two Tip

Morecambe v AFC Wimbledon - away win (3.75, Bet365). The big match in League Two seems a battle between two sides who not so recently were non-league sides and now both look likely to be promotion contenders to League One. The Dons are on a roll though with 10 points from 4 games, whereas Morecambe have not won for four matches.

Blue Square Premier Tip

Kidderminster v Luton - away win (2.25, Victor Chandler). A similar match in the Conference sees two top sides battle it out at Kidderminster. We reckon 2.25 is a good price for the Hatters to win.
