Lawro vs The Bookies: 29/4/2011
It was one winning prediction and several close shaves for hypothetical Lawro. Will he get the breaks this weekend?
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 one correct score and finished £3.50 down.
