Beat the Bookies: Week 37

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 18/04/2013

LAST week the losing sequence came to an end, but the one win exactly cancelled out the four losses. There's just one weekend of the full regular season left to place your bets, so make the most of it!

Grimsby and Newport have both finished the season strongly, they've both rested players in the build-up and doubtless they will do again. It's easy to forget before the three successes away that Town have actually been quite poor at Blundell Park. With that in mind the best value is probably the away win at 2.63.

Championship

  • Watford v Blackburn - away win (4.60, Sky Bet). Blackburn have won their last two and are close to having avoided relegation. Watford have just won one from six.

    Blue Square Premier League

  • Mansfield v Wrexham - away win (7.50, Bet 365). This is a daft price. Yes Mansfield have been better in recent weeks but over the course of a long season there's not been that been much in it. Both teams need to win this game too - albeit Wrexham's desire to finish fourth isn't quite as powerful as Mansfield's to finish ahead of Kidderminster.

    Scottish Division 3

  • Rangers v Peterhead - away win (11.0, Marathon). Peterhead are the form team in the division with five straight wins. Rangers are already promoted with their minds on next season.
