I'll get my selections up early this week.....

Accrington v Bury - 2/1 bet365

Bury are class, accrington are shit

[leecrowe007]

Now to my own selections..... ive gone for a trixie in these next 3 games thinkatleast 2 should win

Chesterfield v Notts County - 1.83 centrebet

I know the season is over for both teams but i just think chesterfield will be too good in this game. Obviously i dont know any team news but i think they will have a pretty strong team out. Notts County in my opinion will have relaxed now they are safe from relegation and wont be fighting as hard as usual. They have also lost their last 3 aways, and not won away for 6, hardly a confidence booster. On the other hand chestefield have won 4 of their last 6 homes, and got 7 points from a possible 9, so should feel confident of finsihing their season with a comfortable 3 points. Home win

[leecrowe007]

Lincoln v Wrexham - 8/11 william hill

Lincoln are finishing the season on a high with 3 wins out of their last 3, and i feel they are nailed on to make it 4 out of 4 here. In fact if they had to pick an easier fixture i dont think they could at the moment. Wrexham after showing some signs on encouragement finished the season with a whimper and their only win in their last 10 was a scrappy 1-0 win over notts county. They are now finally doomed to relegation and brian little seems to be planning for next season playing a lot of inexperienced youth players in their defeat to hereford, and they were outclassed by accrington at home 3-1 last time out. Therefore the home win looks good value at 8/11, i would go 8/13 atleast so im having a bit of this. Home win

[leecrowe007]

Rochdale v Shrewsbury - 4/5 bet365

This is way way too short odds for this game. The fact is that rochdale have won their last 7 homes, and their overall record from their last 9 games reads 7-2-0. They will want to continue this form into the playoffs so will not ease up here i dont think. Shrewsbury on the other hand have only got 4 points (all draws) from their last 11 away games which is shocking to bew fair. Quite how the bookies can price rochdale with 7 consecutive home wins under their belt as short as 4/5 astounds me to be honest so i'll definitely be on rochdale here. Home win

[shakeel]

i think wycombe can be a home win considering this

Yeah beat me to it mate. Heard this today and although Wycombe did me over last week got to be fancied this week especially with the 11/10 on offer at bet365.

[Posh Punter]

Won't be betting to much on this division. All the promotion, relegation & play off places already sorted. Only the play off places can alter the top 3 & bottom 2 will finish where they are.

Everyone else is just seeing out the season.

[ainsworth_21]

Dag & Red straight win, priced at 11/10 stanjames looks nice to me. They're playing an already relegated Mansfield, who to put it lightly are not in the best of spirits.

Mansfield may, as the bbc reports, be without top scorer michael boulding, who has scored the majority of their goals.

I think dag & red might want to finish their season on a high after coming so close to relegation. Of course there's always the DNB priced 1/2, in case of the stalemate; but i just can't see mansfield winning.

im going for the straight win for the daggers.

Accrington v Bury - 2/1 bet365

This isnt one of my selections, however ive received a text from someone who is usually reliable this morning saying that accrington are, ALLEDGEDLY of course, throwing this game. Shoot me down in flames if you like, but im just the messenger. The lad who sent me this text was also the one who first notified me (when the odds were still good) of the sligo rovers fixed game in ireland last season so ive got no reason not to beleive him.
It might be a load of cobblers, but i have taken some of the 2/1 on offer and he reckons lump on while you can as it will get backed down. Im not putting my house on it, but its worth a bet imo. Ive also gone for bury ht/ft at 9/2 with the same firm because you'd think if the game was fixed they'd be winning at half time wouldnt you? Or you could go for the safer option draw no bet at 6/5. As i say this is only me passing the message on just what i heard, but if youre going to follow, do it asap.

I did have a bit of a reluctant view on whether this could happen especially a game involving my home town, but at William Hill today in Newcastle a message on the screens appeared that if people back £100 or more on Bury, it needed to be notified. Normally when these notifications come through it is when one of the big premier league team etc. has been heavily backed to lead to a price change, not a League Two game. Anyway, i think there may actually be something in this post and decided to have a bit on Bury at ht/ft for draw/Bury and Bury/Bury as it is better odds than outright better.

I think there might be some truth to this as willhill online doesnt seem to be offering anything on this match and has it removed completely..also vcbet who seems to be doing the same... may be its just something temporary.. but just letting ya guys know..

[ainsworth_21]

this is really strange, the odds on bury are now 11/10 bet365, while stanjames are not even offering odds at the moment, when they were earlier.

so the bookies must be wise to something happening. hmmmm. or are they just being cautious?

[dj purry]

all the teams r safe in the plyoff position, i think they wil put some resv players ,but they will also playgood football 2 find a spot in the first 11.off there team so still i want 2 fancy , hereford, lincoln, rochdale, stockport 2 win , am i wrong about this ? tell me please.

[boyd]

I'm just amazed that currently out of around £74,000 being backed on the Accrington game that around £67,000 has been put on Bury considering Bury are only just above Accrington and are away from home. I think the bookies are just being cautious, they will accept bets but just want to know how much people are putting on. The bookies will just back Bury to cover any losses that they may lose to punters.

[leecrowe007]

Bury are now best priced 8/5 with bet1128, and that above quote wasnt from me.............

[steve1966]

Must admit I would find it hard to beleiev anyteam throwing a game. Surely the football league and the betting companies will take a close look at this game to see if anything dodgy does happen.

[leecrowe007]

You'd have thought so mate, but worth watching for

[addick4life]

can i just say mate from experience (and it would be better you'll see) if any news on "fixed games" could be given at an hour before kick off as a few days prior will put the heat on anybody involved in it.

[Scooby Snacks]

Would it really be a shock if Bury won though?

Accrington have one of the worst home records in the division and have lost 6 of their last 8 games. Bury, however, have only lost 1 of their last 6 games, winning 4 of these. I think Bury would win anyway.

My thoughts exactly mate.
