Part Two

League One

The lower divisions has so much better value normally, especially when, as a Brentford supporter, you've kind of lived your life there. Maybe the odds-compilers are just lazy. Good, I like lazy, I'm one myself.

First of all, I've backed Brentford, Corals offered 14/1 for promotion, I can't turn that down, we've got more strikers than Arthur Scargill and i think we're better than the 9th we finished last season in a weaker division. Southampton should walk the division with Rickie Lambert banging in 25-30 goals. There is little else to say. On the handicaps Brentford probably offer the best value, but were tipped by the RP
so are now 10/1 (from 18/1) with Bet365. Coral's larger handicaps are a pain, but they aren't too far off in this division tbh and that is probably the best of the rest.

I've backed Yeovil, but wish I hadn't as they are unlikely to improve to much on last year, although they should be safe from promotion. The team that interests me is Walsall (+36, Bet365). I haven't backed them yet, they've lost some players in the summer but I still think Bet365 are wrong with it, I maybe wrong (heaven forbid) and will have to delve into their new signings brfore commiting more money to a 9 month portfolio.

League Two

This looks completely open with 3 favourites depending where you bet.
Morecambe are 20/1 (Stan James), they'll be disappointed with both their start to last season and their play-off performance, but in between they were one of the form sides and I expect them to be there or there abouts again. They are +14 with Betfred.


Torquay finished the season strongly but have now been pounced upon.... they are now 8/1 with Bet365 in the handicap market, I can't recommend them now. Burton Albion looked at home in theri debut season and in Sean Harrad they have a good young striker. I've backed both (obviously in handicap/top scorer markets, doh).


The best match bets I found to combine into multiples were at Ladbrokes nad Bet365

Ladbrokes
