Weekend Football - 28th and 29th January

As usual, we're down in the lower leagues where the ratings have pointed us towards a few games sharing a common theme. The ratings suggest that the leagues are much more competitve than I believe the odds reflect. So we are taking on some of the leading teams from the two divisions:


Bristol City to beat Swansea 5pts at 13/8 (still trying to get said price on exchanges)

Bury to beat Northampton 5pts at 2/1

Peterborough to beat Grimsby 5pts at 10/3

Macclesfield to beat Carlisle 5pts at 2/1


The Cup does throw up three fixtures of the type I like - high-flying lower league sides at home to failing higher division sides but I probably won't play. The sides are Brentford, Reading and Colchester.



Running total for blog:
Total points bet: 197
Total points returned: 230.6
% returns: 117%
Points running on incl above: 65
