Wink Football Query

Does anyone regularly bet/lay the score on football?

The reason I ask is because today's match between Bradford and Notts Co has the current Lay prices at;

Bradford - $2.80
Notts - $2.70
Draw - $3.60
0-0 score of $17.00

In comparison, the match between Charlton and Barnet has the current Lay prices at:

Charlton - $1.56
Barnet - $7.60
Draw - $4.60
0-0 score of $19.50.


By my reckoning the Bradford/Notts match has a much greater possibility of ending in a draw, even a 0-0 score, than the Charlton/Barnet match. However, the prices for a 0-0 result for both games are more or less the same ($17 as opposed to $19.50).

Does this mean that laying the 0-0 score on the Charlton/Barnet game represents good value, or is there more to it than that?
