Premiership Football Betting Opportunity - 05-09-07
May 09 - There is a meaningless Premier League football game later tonight when Chelsea host newly crowned Premiership champions Manchester United. But it isn't meaningless from a betting point of view. Quite the opposite in fact because there is a huge opportunity to take advantage of the odds here and make a lot of money in the process.

Chelsea will give Manchester United a guard of honour as they take the field, and United will then field a team of second-stringers. They're resting all their stars in preparation of Sunday's game against West Ham, where they need to give the impression that they're trying, and for the FA Cup final ten days from now.
West Ham need the points to avoid relegation and Ferguson and Curbishley are very chummy, so if United fields a weak team and West Ham gets any points there would be the usual outcry that it was controversial. But there will be no outcry tonight when Manchester United fields a team that is way below their best.
Chelsea on the other hand have tremendous depth in their squad. Their second-stringers are far better than those of United. They are also at home, plus they will play hard because they have to give United that guard of honour and bow down before them as the new champions.
It all leads inexorably to a Chelsea home win and you need to bet on that right now because the odds are heavily in our favour. Chelsea are 6/5 at Ladbrokes to win, a ridiculous price considering the context of the match.
Our Premiership football pick is to bet on Chelsea tonight for the win.
