Beat the Bookies: Week 22

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 06/01/2012

SCUNTHORPE'S last minute equaliser meant all four tips lost last weekend - what a sickener it was! It means Beat the Bookies now is only just in profit for the season - we need a winning weekend to stay in business. Was there never a more perfect time than the FA Cup?

Home > 2011-2012 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 22

League Two Tip

Burton Albion v Accrington Stanley - away win (3.2, Ladbrokes). Stanley are on a roll!

Blue Square Premier Tip

Alfreton v Grimsby - home win (2.94, Dafabet). Town have lost Panther and Wood, and Alfreton are on a good run themselves. Expect a few goals.

FA Cup Tips

West Brom v Cardiff - away win (4.85, Expekt). Cardiff's form is definitely better than West Brom's and the Baggies main concern is to stay in the top flight.
Reading v Stevenage - away win (7, Victor Chandler). Both teams are doing well in their division but Reading may rest a few players for this one.
Fleetwood v Blackpool - home win (4.5, Corals). Fleetwood are on target to "do a Crawley" this season in both league and cup.
Peterborough n Sunderland - away win (2.0, Betfred). Martin O'Neil can do no wrong at Sunderland, who now look a lot safer in the league and may well make this competition a priority.
