Right then, let’s get stuck into this one. York City absolutely hammered FC Halifax Town 4-1, and fair play, the TopB1ns Edge was bang on the money with the outright win for the home side at decent odds of 2.10. We also called Both Teams To Score ‘Yes’ at 1.62, and that came in with plenty to spare.

On the Over/Under front, it was a bit of a mixed bag, but mostly good. The Edge nailed Over 0.5, Over 1.5, and Over 2.5, which were all pretty short prices, but it’s the Over 3.5 and Over 4.5 calls that really stood out. York were flying and bagged four, so those came in too, even though the bookies weren’t so keen on the higher numbers. The only slight wobble was the Over 3.5 and Over 4.5 predictions, which the Edge had as ‘Under’, but let’s be honest, York were on fire and just blew past those lines. All in all, a cracking result and a solid performance from the TopB1ns Edge. Top stuff!
