Beat the Bookies: Week 23

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 13/01/2012

THREE out of six of the tips last week, a handsome return which sees us well back in profit for the season. Pick of the selections was Stevenage's win at Reading - for which we got 6/1 with Victor Chandler.

Home > 2011-2012 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 23

Premier League Tip

Chelsea v Sunderland - away win (9.0, Victor Chandler). How far can the Martin O'Neil revolution go at Sunderland? Can they triumph at Chelsea, no longer the fortress it once was? Why not?

Championship Tip

Brighton v Bristol City - away win (3.25, Ladbrokes). Not long ago these teams were at opposite ends of the table. But Brighton have fallen back and Bristol City have improved a lot in recent weeks. There doesn't look much between them now.

League Two Tip

Port Vale v AFC Wimbledon - away win (4.0, Coral). Both teams are on losing streaks but Wimbledon have made some new signings this week so may get a boost from that.

FA Trophy Tips

Grimsby v Hornchurch - away win (7.5, Marathon). Town have a poor cup record and once again have key players missing. Hornchurch top their league so must be playing well.
