With my history on betting, I shouldn't really be giving tips but...
Conference Premier -  Dover Athletic to be promoted.  I am a little biased because I've watched them since I was small.
Chris Kinnear is currently in charge and led us in our most successful period during the 90's.
The season started really poorly as promotion seemed quite a leap.  After 11 games only Telford were below us and we had a record of P11 W2 D1 L9.
Since then, things have really turned around.  The record for the last 16 games stand at W8 D7 L1.  A couple of those draws were points lost though, including letting in an injury time equaliser to Altrincham, and letting a 2 goal lead slip away to top of the table Barnet on Sunday.
We're now just 6 points off a playoff place, which to me makes 150/1 look massive.

Tomorrow we play those northern gits Welling who we dispatched 4-0 on Boxing Day. 

One thing to watch out for are the cups though.  Dover play Palace on Saturday and then have the FA Trophy the following week.  Any decent cup runs in this league can lead to a major fixture backlog.

Good luck if you're in.  I've put a massive £10 on at 200/1 which was available till only a couple of days ago (sorry, busy with Christmas!)

Come on you whites!

Fair shout, matey!

Good luck with it.
Report cricketnut2 December 30, 2014 9:42 AM GMT
Best of luck, with that, but your team draws, too many games and 3 draws, only equals 1 win.
Report tonycottee December 30, 2014 9:56 AM GMT
Thanks raspberrybottom.

cricketnut2 -  3 out of 4 of the teams in the playoffs have drawn more than Dover.  Bristol Rovers have drawn over a 1/3 of their games this season.  I think (or hope) that this league will be close this season.

Win, lose or draw,  I think that's a great shout tc. Can only get £20 on but worth it IMO! Best of luck....

Personally I haven't even looked at the league, so I suppose, they could go up, but only in the play offs. So yes worth a small bet
Report Can't Catch Me December 30, 2014 10:11 AM GMT
Seems a rick to me. I follow this league pretty closely and the top couple aside, everyone still beats everyone. 6 points from the play off places is nothing and I think they should be 50's, maybe 66's tops...
Report tonycottee December 30, 2014 10:12 AM GMT
Thanks guys.  I only looked last week expecting around 30/1. I remember a couple of years ago somebody tipping Kidderminster which almost came in.  Makes the league more interesting if nothing else.
Good luck all!

Report tonycottee December 30, 2014 3:10 PM GMT
I would leave the Welling game jon b.  We're still not winning enough away and Welling are very solid at home.  Plus it's sort of a derby - you don't get Kent teams playing each other often!
And finally the Palace game is in 4 days so I'm not sure what side Kinnear will be putting out.  There will be over 6000 at Crabble on Saturday as opposed to the usual 1000, so he's going to try and put out his strongest side for that game.

if/when they make the play offs is it just the same as the championship where as a semi and then a final and then they are promoted or do they have to play the bottom team from league 2.  also do dover meet the requirements to be able to be promoted in to the league.  the price doesnt match the other teams around it, somethings not right

Could be just a point off the play-off positions tomorrow, 66/1 probably still a bit of value when you compare the price to others around them.

A very tough run of games left, would have to beat most of the teams above they have to play to catch up. A big ask but price looks more than fair for their chances of making it.

Good luck though and hope you collect.
