Beat the Bookies: Week 31

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 09/03/2012

WOKING'S shock defeat at home to Maidenhead was not expected, but Beat the Bookies tipped it! Though the rest of our tips all failed for one reason for another, one of the longest odds winners of the season ensured that the coffers are showing a healthy profit.

Home > 2011-2012 Season > Beat the Bookies > Week 31

Championship Tip

Bristol City v Cardiff - home win (3.3, Marathon). Cardiff are definitely wobbling at the moment . City are a yo-yo team who are brilliant on their day and can beat anyone, but have quite a few off days as well. Let's hope that Bristol come up with the goods - they certainly need the points.

League One Tip

Brentford v Sheffield Utd - home win (2.9, Ladbrokes). Brentford's home record is excellent and they could go all the well against United - another top side whose recent form leaves a lot to be desired.

League Two Tip

Macclesfield v Crawley Town - home win (Draw No Bet) (3.75, Sky Bet). Both these sides are draw specialists at the moment, but Macclesfield are a decent price to shade it with the stake returned if it is a draw.

Blue Square Premier Tip

Lincoln City v Alfreton Town - away win (3.6, Corals). City's form seems to have nosedived again.

Blue Square South Tip

Havant & Waterlooville v Maidenhead - home win (4.75, Marathon). Woking once again have players out for the trip south to Havant. With Dartford creeping up on them in the table, could it be another case of the jitters?
