Mintys Tips - Week 26: 2008/9 - Sherlock Holmes

You are here: Football England > Football Betting Tips > Week 26: 2008-9 Season

You can always trust a Victorian sleuth. That's what I said last week ,and sherlock Holmes didn't let us down with a £5.46 return last week.

He now gets a third week in charge of puntery - a feat only previously achieved by Jimi Hendrix & Gary Coleman, high praise indeed.

Come on Holmesey, give us another winning week, and hopefully you can keep the bumbling Watson away from the sports pages.

Bet 1 : The Canary Lady
5 Homes - £1 Accy & 5x£0.20 Trebles (£3)
Norwich vs Bristol City - Norwich @ 5/4
Plymouth vs Derby - Plymouth @13/10
Blackburn vs Aston Villa - Blackburn @2/1
West Brom vs Newcastle - West Brom @6/5
Portsmouth vs Liverpool - Portsmouth @4/1

Holmes: "As homage to the lovely Rachel, I predict delight for the Canaries. Also, in my day, these bets would be cast iron certainties."

Watson: "Hmmmmm Raaaaachellllllllll......"

Bet 2 : The Creeper
4 Aways - £0.20 Rachel Yankee (£2.10)
Gillingham vs Bradford - Bradford @2/1
Bournemouth vs Shrewsbury - Shrewsbury @8/5
Bury vs Dagenham & Redbridge - Dagenham & Redbridge @12/5
Hartlepool vs Walsall - Walsall @11/4

Watson: "I don't understand Holmes, why have you called this selection the Rachel Yankee?".

Holmes: "Simplicity Itself, dear chum. The Yankee is all the combinations of double, trebles and accumulator, sponsored by English football's own hero Rachel. Not the bint who plays on the wing for Arsenal."

Bet 3 : The Hound of the Baskervilles
5 Homes - £1 Accy & 5x£0.20 Trebles (£3)
Grimsby vs Exeter - Grimsby 3 - 2 25/1
Tranmere vs Leyton Orient - Tranmere 4 - 1 22/1
Blackpool vs Doncaster - Blackpool 4 - 1 33/1
Norwich vs Bristol City - Norwich 3 - 1 18/1
Swansea vs Ipswich - Swansea 4 - 2 50/1

Holmes: " Before you ask Watson... This is an elementary piece of Holmesian deduction.Ted Baskerville, the custodian at Grimsby tipped me the wink. And, The lovely Rachel is surely going to be moistened by the fact the Canaries are romping home 3-1 whilst the evil Tractor boys take a pummelling."

Watson: "The tractor has not yet been invented Holmes."

Bet 4 : Moriarty
3 First Goalscorers £0.50 Patent (£2)
Everton vs Bolton - Lescott @ 16/1
Blackburn vs Villa - Roberts @ 8/1
Norwich vs Bristol City - Russell @ 8/1

Holmes: "The evil Moriarty (Mr Ladbroke) will be shitting himself now that we have Rachel onside."

Watson: "Very well old fellow."
