This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network.

When I'm a walking down the street street. Welcome to the sound of the start of the new Skybet EFL season and the Not the Top 20 podcast betting show brought to you by Skybet. Now from now until the end of the season, me, Ali Maxwell,, Georgelic, will meet each week to try and find value and win bets across all three divisions. On the betting show,

we'll be using Skybet prices and markets and offers. And this week and next week, we'll be

mainly focusing on outright markets and season long bets, but we'll also be making a few

selections ahead of the first weekend of the season that starts on Friday for League 1 and League 2. And then from Thursday the 14th of August onwards, the betting show will be the show that you guys know and hopefully love. Coming to you every single Thursday afternoon, the sound of the start of your weekend. And for those of you new to the show, George and I are old friends and we like to bet on the EFL. We like to talk to each other about the bets that we're having and show each other

our reasoning as well. And that's what this show is and will be all season. Betting is for over

18s only and can come with risks. Head to gamblerware.org to learn about those risks. We understand

the risks that come with gambling.

Crucially, we never bet more than we can afford to lose. We never chase our losses. We're

sensible. We're disciplined with our staking. These are really important aspects of responsible

gambling and important aspects of the NTT20 betting show.

So straight into outright picks for League 1 and League 2, straight into the title winner market.

And George, like, we are our own people.

We have our own minds.

We have our own opinions.

And quite often at this part of the show, we'll put up competing selections.

But both of us have landed upon a team in each league here that we think is tremendous each way of value.

Yeah, and crucially with Skybet, because Skybet are the only firm paying four places.

So rather than a quarter of the three, you're getting a fifth of four when you back a team each way in the EFL this season. And for outright betting, that's massive because that fourth place could be huge. And, you know, we've done that one to 24s. Some people, I wouldn't give any spoilers in case people haven't watched them yet, but people might think we'd just put our first place selections up for this. But obviously, Price plays a big part in this. And even though Luton are the seven to two favourites, which is top price in at time of recording you know in terms of the best bet you're looking for their best value and i am so surprised that stockport are a double figure price to win the league at 11 to 1 they're 11 to 1 now you know that's at time of recording prices a subject to change and that might change in the time that takes between us recording this and this going out but at the current moment they are 11 to 1 which is best price anywhere

a fifth to 4 with sky bet last season they finished 3rd it was their first season back in league 1

and promotion out of league 2 there cannot be many more progressive football teams in the country

that wrecks them are clearly won and they managed to in promotion out of league one last season. But stock ports march up the table. Might be a bit slower than Rexims, but it's still a very obvious upward trend. And if they were to have been promotion this season coming, it would follow in the same pattern as their brush out of league two, where they were arguably one of the best teams in the league, or certainly one of the teams maybe the best team in the league and they were beaten in the playoffs in the final that time last season they were one of the best teams in the league they ended up finishing third behind rexham got in the playoffs and didn't quite get over the line dave challoner has their manager has an incredible record like he's you know even though success for for him is so consistent the bad seasons are
