Liverpool - Chelsea

[knowledge]

My bets...

Under 2.5 goals - $1.70
Chelsea - $2.15

I know I said draw option appeals to me and it does but after analysing Chelsea's recent form I couldn't resist this great price on them.

Please tell me your approach to this match. We can also discuss the match in play here.

This is one of my best multi's of the weekend.

Chelsea + 0.5 - $1.31
x
Bolton - $1.63
x
Arsenal + 0.5 - $1.10
x
Tottenham + 0.5 - $1.37
x
Portsmouth - $1.67
x
Man City + 0.5 - $1.15
x
Man U + 0.5 - $1.33

= $8.21 (fingers crossed)

I am watching the 1st half then I am setting the VCR for the 2nd half as I have to get up early tomorrow before I head off to the cricket.

[Jack Daniels]

Liverpool are playing well.

Draw Chelsea would have been good at $4.50
Draw Liverpool not out of the question either at $7.00

[knowledge]

that's a good multi, Jack. $8.21 is amazing to me since most of those outcomes look nailed on. my only worry for you is Bolton, they've been absolutely crap as of late. They are definitely on my 'no bet' list. Then again Norwich are pathetic too.

This game has been good so far. I can't remember a first half going by this quickly before.

I'm still very confident that Chelsea can win and I will maintain that confidence until the 80th minute (or further, if they score before then obviously). They always start off softly but in 2nd half they turn it on.

This is a great match, both teams have been a joy to watch.

[Jack Daniels]

I agree Norwich have been Pathetic but they are playing Portsmouth.
Bolton are playing West Brom who have been pathetic also.

Agreed on the fact that this has been a good game. I may forego the vcr and just watch the 2nd half. Damn I gotta get up early though.

Reason I've gone all the starts +0.5 is I am sick of getting done by draws, so I have a little buffer on most of the games. Well I hope so anyway.

It reduces the odds but it is worth it if it comes in.

oh yeah, lol :p
I get those two mixed up.

I'm a fan of the +0.5 handicaps. Bets like Arsenal +0.5, at albeit only 1.10, seem like free money.

[Jack Daniels]

Free money I like the sound of that.

I am off mate vcr to do the job.

I really gotta get up early.

ENJOY.

[Spirited]

i've gone with the draw, with portsmouth and newcastle,
@ $10.27 i thought it was worth a few bob ,
i've also got a bet on liverpool to win 1-0 along with newcastle & portsmouth @ 23.69

aswell as a small bet on chelsea

back to the coffee machine !!

oh what about Lampard the thug ! breaking ankles! didn't look much in it though .

[knowledge]

sounds good Spirited.

I think my under 2.5 goals bet is safe by now. I still think Chelsea can win this one.

Here's my hypothesis...

Liverpool don't score.
Chelsea score between 75-85 (79' my random choice for some instinctive reason) and win 1-0.

Otherwise... it ends 0-0 which I don't think will happen.

On 3rd of October last year (:D) Chelsea won 1-0 with a goal in the 64th minute from Joe Cole.

:)

Good night.

[knowledge]

oh my f*ing goodness...

79th minute.
Joe Cole.
Chelsea 1-0.

I TOLD YOU SO.

:D

quite unbelievable really.

[Spirited]

oh my f*ing goodness...

79th minute.
Joe Cole.
Chelsea 1-0.

I TOLD YOU SO.

:D

quite unbelievable really.

if only you had money on that !

[sparkus8]

Man you gotta feel sorry for Liverpool, they definitely deserved to get something out of that game.

Anyways I just want Palace to win. Don't have any money on them, but I am a massive fan and they need a win to get some breathing space fom the the bottom 3.

I don't know about you guys but I thought Portsmouth were specials tonight and now that Chelsea have won I think I might have a dig at Arsenal because they can't afford to lose.

[Spirited]

Yea liverpool were unlucky alright!
i agree that portsmouth look the goods , i also like newcastle with Shearer back in ,and arsenal can't afford to drop points,not sure about Palace though lets hope popa can guide them to victory!

[knowledge]

sparkus I agree that Arsenal will know 3 points is imperative against Charlton and have backed them as well...with my profits from Chelsea.

oh sh*t. Portsmouth and Bolton both went 1-0 down. f*king idiots!!!! better come back.

Norwich are down to 10 men, by the way. I'm sure you're sleeping right now though so I hope you wake up to see 2-1 wins to both teams (or better). It's important to remain optimistic.

[sparkus8]

So much for all the talk from Portsmouth about treating Norwich like any other opponent!! If they cant win this game they are kidding themselves.

[knowledge]

i'm so sick and f*cking tired of these small clubs pulling upsets.

oh and look, all of a sudden man city can win. Couldn't do it last week!!

[sparkus8]

The only small club I want to spring upsets is Palace!!

Just heard on radio that the ref made Yakubu take his penalty 3 times - wonder what that was about it. They also said that Portsmouth are piling on the pressure now, so hopefully there will be a late winner

At least Arsenal are going to win.

[knowledge]

i'm beginning to really hate 1-1 scorelines

[sparkus8]

That makes two of us mate!! From what I could tell Portsmouth were all over Norwich at the end of the match and couldn't get the winner.

Not a good result for me and not a good result for Palace as they now drop back into the relegation zone.

[Jack Daniels]

Arrggghhhh stupid Bolton not beating West Brom and Portsmouth against a ten man Norwich side wtf????

You get that with multi's though, they are long shots even at the shorter prices. I did however pickup on Chelsea $2.15, Arsenal $1.50, Tottenham $2.25 and Man U $2.15 all at good prices away and Tottenham at home. I was a little bemused by the price on offer for Tottenham.
I would have loved to have the balls to have a huge plunge on that multi alone, those 4 at $15.60. Still it was my only profitable multi from the weekend, so all was not lost.

Back to the drawing board for today, lots on offer.

And, Ohhhh boy it was a big day at the cricket yesterday, ended up getting home about 12.30am with dinner and drinks down in Chinatown after the game. :)

Yeah, after years of looking at the EPL results, I reckon you just can't trust most of teams to win when they're supposed to. That's why I hardly even consider betting on anybody but the big 3 teams.
