I think Chelsea will win 2-0 - at 6.0.

For me a correct score bet with 261.75 on it is the way forward.
1000 in the bank if we lose - approx 2500+ in the bank if we win

I think we can all just about agree that Chelsea will win their last home game, and possibly without reply.

My suggestion is to find the correct score with odds starting at 5-1 - If we could agree on one....?
I've kicked it off - what do you chaps think?

I can't see Bolton getting anything out of this game. Chelsea looks likely to win it but there would not be any value in backing them so I went for Chelsea to win to nil.

Best 1X2 bet:Chelsea
Best AH bet :Chelsea
Best Under/Over bet:Under 2.5
Best Other bet :Chelsea to win to nil.

This is interesting as a contest and title race is wide open as i would rather have this fixture than Utd,s would do CHELSEA ht/ft with a small wager on 1 - 0

CHELSEA HT/FT
CHELSEA 1 - 0

I`m going to second `bottomlesspit` idea of going for a score on the last day of the season.....why not...we`ve tried everything else (and lost!)

2-0 sounds about right to me....put on all money available over the £1000 bank......and hope for lady luck to be smiling on us...for once.

BEST BET....2-0..CHELSEA

I agree that the 2-0 scoreline looks most likely.Chelsea are always good to back to win either 1-0 or 2-0.(won 2-0 ten times this season)They have to keep the pressure on United who have the tougher game away at Wigan.Bolton will obviously be fighting but i really cant see them getting even a goal here as Chelsea look solid at the back.Bolton havnt been conceding too many since losing 4-0 at Villa so i dont think it will be a walk over but Chelsea 2-0 looks a good bet.Anelka could get a start against his old team and we all know how often players score against their old teams so anytime scorer on him might be worth considering.I think the 2-0 is worth a bet though for our last bet of the week.

Best 1X2 bet:-
Best AH bet :Chelsea
Best Under/Over bet:-
Best Other bet : Correct Score: 2-0 Chelsea

dont think anelka is allowed to play against former team KP...

tend to agree with all of you on the correct score..chelsea have to win so will..despite bolton being apain to play against...can see 2-0 chelsea being enough...unless they decide to try and prove a point and storm to a 6-0 win...

more sensible is going for decent odds on a score that is slightly over-priced to me bearing in mind how often chelsea win 2-0 etc

Agree with the calls for a correct score bet, and Chelsea 2-0 sounds logical. Can't see anything other than a Chelsea win, but maybe a 1:0 Man U might be more likely.

Chelsea v Bolton has in the past thrown up an odd run of scores - 2:2, 5:1, 2:2, 1:2, 1:0, 5:1.

However Bolton are a different outfit now compared to recent seasons.

12X - home win 1.14 no value
AH - Chelsea -1.75 at 1.75 still no value
goals - over 2.5 1.65 def no value (esp if you think 2:0)
other - 2:0 home - can go with that

Sorry, best bet 2:0 home
