English Conference betting 6th - 10th Sept

Agree with Punter on Barnet; it would have to be something unusual for them not to win and I've backed them.

I've also gone for under 2.5 in Torquay v Nuneaton. I don't like betting on total goals because I usually read these bets wrong, but Torquay can be a bit blunt up front and Nuneaton's three away games so far have only yielded three goals in total so I think Laddies' 17/20 is too long.

In the south, I'm going to risk opposing my home town club, Bath, despite their first win of the season last week. Whitehawk are doing well and are among the promotion favourites, and I've had some of Ladbrokes' 27/20

Alfreton 1-0 up. Maybe they haven't been as bad as recent results suggested

Nope, they are shit. 2-1 down now.

Me and Punter probably rode our luck with Barnet; needed a red card and injury time winner for my biggest match bet of the season to come in. Whitehawk were easy winners, but my unders at Torquay was blown by half time so a modest profit on the day.

Forgot to give Punter a for Torquay. A profit for you too?

I'm not likely to get involved midweek as I'm struggling for time to look at the fixtures, but the one I'd be most interested in is Wrexham, who look a tad long at a side who haven't really adjusted to the Conference.

Before backing us I'd want to know the teams - our first eleven is decent enough, but we've picked up a few knocks in recent weeks and I'm not sure our backup is good enough to justify the price if we have to call on them. But, with luck the injuries will clear up for Tuesday. I think you're right in avoiding the draw though as it's a derby.

And Halifax have done well against what's been put in front of them, but they've not yet played any of the current top half sides. Of course, they've got points on the board but it'll be interesting to see if they've got what it takes against the better sides. 9/1 might be about right.
