Lawro vs The Bookies: 9/9/11
The Premier League returns after the international break, as does hypothetical Lawro.
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 zero correct scores and finished -£10.
