Southend.... 11/1 (Ladbrokes, totesport, Victor Chandler, William Hill)
Draw...........11/2 (SkyBet)
Chelsea........2/7 (Coral)

My tip for an outside punt if you have a quid spare:

3-3 after 90 minutes with Barrett first to score: 800/1 with William Hill

I tend to steer clear of the obvious bets.

Why be so conservative? I reckon you double your odds going with 3-0.

The odds on us do seem to be drifting a bit but then the odds on >3 goals for either team has also drifted. Not sure those two should drift simultaneously but presumably there's some revaluation going on.

Backed us at 14/1 on Betfair... and 33/1 to win 1-0!!!

If you are looking at correct scores/scorecasts in our favour should probably look at Blue Square - they are trying to keep Chelsea on side.

Forgive my ignorance of betting, but doens't that just mean that no-one is betting on us, and the bookies are just trying to make us more attractive? i.e. isn't this just demand and supply?

Pretty much - no-one is backing us, so the bookmakers are increasing the odds on Southend in the hope of balancing the book.

Me and my 2 sons backed Clarke at 50/1 to score first or last at the bridge. As for wednesday night im going for Christoffe to score at any time in the match. 10/1 with Ladbrokes.

 

[Southchurch Steve]

tbf, 2/7 on Chelski is a brilliant bet.

Not that I'd back against us though.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

What odds could I get for Dougie or Barney scoring at any time in a 1-1 draw ?

Both players are 100/1 to score first in a 1-1 draw. Will have a dig around for some anytime scorer prices as well.

Just put a tenner on us at 13-1 on Betfair :stunned:

Probably throwing money away but I found it underneath my bed yesterday (I live in a student house) so what the hell!

 

[sufcintheprem]

The Finktank has Chelsea as massive value at that price. Should be 1.18 according to that. That said, apparently they should have been 1.06 at home.

Bettin 0-0 at half time wouldn't be the worst idea. We're actually quite a good first half team.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Racing Post recommend backing us +1.75 on the Asian Handicap. Essentially, you win if we win, draw or lose by one goal.

Totally unbiased promo piece on the front page of Ladbrokes.com too. I make no apologies for this.

 

[ShrimperChris]

Just put £3 on us to win (9/1) and £2 on us to win 1-0 (14/1) both with Ladbrokes.

Not much I know, but should I get lucky, that £60 odd quid will be very useful for a student...

Jus spent £23 betting on this game.

 

[Lavender Blue]

I got £5 on southend to win at 10/1 and £4 on draw at half time southend win full time 25/1

 

[Uncle Leo]

If I had to have a bet on the game - and I won't - I'd bet on draw half-time/Chelsea full-time, which is 4/1 with Victor Chandler and 7/2 with most high street bookies.

I'm also going to write one more horribly biased highlight on ladbrokes.com before I head off.

You was robbed, Uxbridge's Badblokes i presume, at least Dick Turpin wore a mask. 14.5/1 AND 29/1 respectively with Betfair!
