This bet has as much a chance as anything else.
I really hope we bet around £250 this week...giving a nice return...and no big deal if we lose.

Many posters and OLBG members seem to be fixated on beating the Bookies and need to lighten up....this has been a fun excercise and thankfully, i`m not looking to put my head in the oven when a bet goes pear-shaped (as it often will).
No-one should gamble if they can`t take losing......it`s not a matter of life or death..so bet sensibly and accept the result with a smile...win or lose....and remember...gambling is not an exact art....just make sure it enhances your life.

Bet is on 450 @ approx 6.12

So we'll either have 811.75 or 3,570.25

Sorry to be negative, but a correct score bet is a mugs bet.

In my humble opinion, of course.

Your right but being negative after the decision is terrible teamwork

I wish OLBG all the best - I just don't understand how that bet got the most votes. I'll shut up now. Hope it come in for you lads.

we have a very good chance worth the gamble as i pointed out in my stats some stats really wanted to go 2-0 but vote to nil chelsea but if we want to give it a go 2-0 is ok chelsea have scored 9 goals in there last 6 games and only conceded 2.. they have had= 10 out of =18 matches finishing to nil at home and boltons away form they have had 8 loses to nil out 18 away games boltons last 6 games they have scored 7 and conceded 8....a slight worry their...... chelsea last 6 games they have won 4 of them to nil another good pointer vote to nil chelsea 2-0 Very Happy

Best of luck everyone. The perfect day would be Chelsea to win 2-0 and United to win 3-0 with a hattrick from Ronaldo, now that would be something to celebrate Win

It may not be the shrewdest punt, but shrewdness has already had its chance and blown it! However, I don't think this is the daftest bet we have placed this season either.

I have no doubt that at some stage of the game on Sunday, it will indeed be 2-0 to Chelsea
Whether we are hoping they won't score more after 20 minutes, or hoping they will at 1-0 in the 87th minute, I think we will get a good run with this punt.

For the first and hopefully last time in my life - Come on Chelsea! (but only a litle bit!)
