Beat the Bookies: Week 38

By: Rob Sedgwick
Date: 25/04/2013 (Last updated: 02/05/2013)

RANGERS losing at home to Peterhead at the weekend covered for the losses of previous weeks, romping home at 10/1! The profits for the season are back up to nearly £600 - a profit of over 30% - a very healthy returns. And there's still a couple of weeks of the season to go before we can finally bid it goodbye,

Newport are slight favourites to win the second leg of the play-offs which is likely to be a very tight affair. The league match there ended 0-0 so don't be surprised to see another low scoring game. Under 2.5 goals is available at 1.92 with Bet Victor and looks to be the best value of the standard bets on offer for this game.

Premier League

  • Man City v West Ham - away win (12.00, Marathon). Man City's season is now definitely over in the league. The main focus is the FA Cup, as the defeat to Spurs showed this week. Not only that West Ham are in fine form and unbeaten in 5 games.

    League One

  • Brentford v Doncaster - away win (4.20, Bet Victor). This looks a long price for the second placed team to win away. Granted Brentford have got very good home form, but they haven't won any of their last four away games. It's not rational that they can be so much better at home!

    League Two

  • Rotherham v Aldershot - away win (10.0, WBX). This is obviously a long shot but Aldershot need to win, and win heavily as well probably to stand any chance of avoiding the drop. Normally they'd be happy with a draw, but they'll be playing with the desperation of condemned men. Rotherham are also very fragile at home - they have lost eight times already this season at home!

    Scottish Division 1

  • Morton v Hamilton - away win (4.5, Marathon). Hamilton have won five and drawn one of last six - terrific form in any division! Morton have lost half of their last six games as well, this looks a cracking price!
