S.P.Read Esq: Chelsea v Stoke
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the Premier League game at 5.30pm on Saturday between CHELSEA v STOKE and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
Good result last night with the buy of goals on Star Spreads in the Derby v Watford game which ended 2-2.
The Premier returns today and at 5.30pm Chelsea have the chance to pull clear on the turn for home when they welcome Stoke to Stamford Bridge.
I called Trevor Harris on the Star Sports fixed odds trading desk at lunchtime to ask for the prices on this one – but before getting the price – I played a little game.
I guessed what the price was on Chelsea.
I said 2/9 and it was 2/7, so better than I thought.
There is a little moral to this story…. and that is TAKE A VIEW yourself. How many punters get the prices FIRST and THEN try and work out where the value is ???
If you don’t already – do it the other way round. Work out what prices you think a team/player/horse should be and then bet accordingly when you get the actual prices. It’s much more fun and puts the skill back into sports betting.
And it’s exactly the same for spread betting as it is for fixed odds.
I can’t see anything other than a Chelsea win – Stoke have lost all six of their previous Premier League trips to Chelsea.
