I'd go for a total goals-based bet personally.
over 4.5 goals is 2/1 on bet365 and very realistic based on recent weeks
Barnet showing all the flair of Rupert-the-Bears trousers, but lots more style!

Can’t ever remember a team being 11-1 for the win.

Good luck - but I'm betting that most of you will lose money. The odds are carefully calculated to tempt you.

Denise Coates (boss of Bet365) paid herself £300m last year and "has received a total of about £1.3bn from the business in the past five years".

That’s the trouble with gamblers. You only remember the wins.

The magic of the FA Cup. It's back, folks, squeaky bum time. Giants v The Minnows.
Not that Barnet can be considered as a non-League Giant (if only), nor, indeed that Weston-Super-Mare can, on current form, be considered as a Minnow.
Anyway....

Bees win 4/6
Seagulls win 15/4
Draw 33/10

That's the first time this season that the bookies have had us as odds on favourites. The odds really don't excite me enough to lump on a Bees win. I would imagine WSM fans might have hoped for odds better than 15/4 as well.

If you are looking for decent odds on a cup upset how about....

Anstey Nomads 7/1 to beat Chesterfield
Blyth 22/1 to beat Wrexham
Beckenham Town 15/2 to beat Dagenham
Bury 8/1 to beat York

All of those minnows are at home.

Good luck all.

Wonder what the odds for a 7 - 5 scoreline was!

Thought you'd include St Ives to beat Halifax, shaymen have been horrific so far

Good call.
Odds of 24/5 for a St Ives win.

Our home game against the Magpies is a bit of a close call. Odds on all three possible outcomes are a tad mean so it might be worth exploring other options for this match.

Bees win 11/8 (just one bookie going 6/4)
Magpies win 17/10
Draw 5/2

So how about first goal scorer?
Nicke Kabamba 4/1
Rob Hall 11/2
Jamal Loza 11/2
Iris Kanu 7/1

Nicke Kabamba is 22/1 to score a hat trick, Hall and Loza both 40/1.

Correct score...35/2 Bees to win 3 1, 24/1 Bees to win 3 2, or how about 110/1 Bees to win 4 3?

Good luck all.

Both Teams to score in both halves might be worth a bunt given our recent results - 8/1 with sky

Hmmm.
Barnet two straight wins, Bromley 1 point from their last three games. And yet.....

Bromley win 4/7
Barnet win 9/2
Draw 17/5

That's tempting!!

Equally tempting...
Oldham (27/10) to win at Altrincham
Dorking (9/2) to win at Woking
Aldershot 11/4) to win at Yeovil

Good luck all.

I hope some of you guys got the 9/2 last Tuesday.

Tonight the bookies have the Bees as favourites to beat the Irons. Not really surprising when you see their away form. In the NL Played 7 Won 0 Drawn 3 Lost 4. Also an away defeat to South Shields in the FA Cup.
Having said all that Scunthorpe sit 9th in the Form Table, the Bees are 10th, both on 9 points from the last 6 games.

Bees win 11/10
Irons win 11/5
Draw 29/10

I might sit on the fence with this one, a small punt on the draw. I will, however, happily lose my stake if Nicke Kabamba scores a 96th minute winner.

Good luck all.

Given Southend's recent run of good form it's easy to see why the bookies have them as big favourites to win tonight. Sitting 2nd in the form table (Bees are 10th) the Shrimpers look like they have turned a corner and they must be confident of, at least, making the play offs this season.

Bees win 11/4 (tempting price for you optimists out there)
Shrimpers win Evens
Draw 27/10

If you fancy a bet on first goal scorer Nicke Kabamba is 11/2, Harry Pritchard is 11/1 and you just know that Wes Fonguck (12/1) will bite us on our bum tonight.

Very mean odds on both teams to score...11/17
Bees to win 3 2....30/1
Shrimpers to win 3 2....25/1
Draw 3 3....50/1

There's some to be getting on with. Let's hope the final score is Punters 1 0 Bookies.

Good luck all.

Despite our recent good run Bet 365 is offering 5/2 on a home win tonight v southend. Do they know something? Anyway I have backed the bees plus a larger bet on over 2 goals.
