The former Football Conference had a new sponsor in season 2007/8 and Aldershot rose to the challenge by finishing a full fifteen points ahead of their nearest competitors. Yet again, this was an example of an unfashionable team winning this division at a big price at the expense of the so-called bigger clubs. Last season proved that betting on non-league football is becoming increasingly popular. There's money to be made for the 'shrewdies' out there prepared to do their homework.
 
From the Premier League right down to the Blue Square Premier, firms make a habit of installing the better-known clubs as favourites. Besides laziness on their part, there is another reason for this - laziness on the punter's part! Many customers having a bet on the BSP, whether it form part of their antepost accumulator or otherwise, will plump for the likes of Oxford or Wrexham rather than a Ebbsfleet, Histon or Forest Green. Therefore, the bookies incur liabilities and adjust their book accordingly, meaning the rest of us can grab some value as a result.

Many will remember Burton Albion's recent FA Cup heroics against Man United and it's certainly worth keeping tabs on the non-league teams who fare well in the FA Cup. This is because it's practically impossible for them to stay focused on the bread-and-butter of domestic competition when the game of the career is on the horizon!
