Probably Back us -1 when the handicap is released, might even go for over 3.5 and perhaps over 4.5 depending on the odds. I can't see past us scoring at least 3, and blackpool are more than capable of scoring too.
Stan James have our handicap -1 @ 100/30 very generous imho

Currently got £10 on Vidima Rakovski away at Cherno More at 19.5/1
Currently 1-0 up and trading at £55 on betfair, not sure whether to take it or be greedy

Waiting for the handicap betting to become available on Paddy. Had a play around and a West Ham 3-1 & Chelsea double pays £1400 from a £20 stake.

Chelsea don't have many defenders so attack is the best form of defence :D
They will either win comfortably or get totally smashed
But for £100 the double returns just under £4500 not a bad outside bet for the weekend

Am I missing something here shouldn't it be -1.5? If chelsea win by 1 do you still lose your money as it is a draw on the handicap?

Well, if you're betting for Chelsea to win and they draw, then you don't win :lol:

You make one slight mistake and it bloody lives with you forever :lol:

What I meant was if you back chelsea -1 and chelsea win by 1 goal then on the handicap is that a draw and you lose your money? If so then to win your bet chelsea have to win by 2 goals.

Surely -1.5 is better as it takes the draw out of it and will be a slightly better price.

Yeah, that's exactly it... You back -1, you need Chelsea to win by 2 goals. If they win by 1 goal, it's a draw, as per normal.

It's why the bookies keep it that way; it not only adds a little confusion (to some :lol: ), but keeps the price in favour.

My confusion (thanks by the way) is that bet365 offer the -1.5 so reading this thread I have always wondered why anyone would take the -1. Maybe they are just confused :wink:

For example
Bayern Munich -1 pays 2.350
Bayern Munich -1.5 pays 3.10

Why would anyone take the 1st bet?

3.10 Fontwell - Sire Collonges. Class above the field, should not lose. 6/4.

Duke of York Stakes, 3.00 York - Mayson. Running very well and jockey described him as "vastly mproved" from his 3 year old form. Northern trainer loves a winner at York. 7/2.
