Lawro vs The Bookies: 25/2/2011
We've bet our hypothetical pounds on Mark Lawrenson's correct score predictions. Watch out bookmakers!
Every Friday Mark Lawrenson attempts to predict the scores of the weekend’s Premier League or FA Cup games. But is he better than the bookmakers?
Each week we will be putting a hypothetical £1 on Lawrenson’s correct score predictions at the best available odds. The theory being that if he ends up in profit, he is better than bookmakers at predicting football results.
Last week he got no correct scores correct and finished at -£9.
