So you reckon it'll be a draw then Badder? >_>

So you reckon it'll be a draw then Badder? >_>

Yeah.

I obviously want United to win, and I know we can if we play near or at our best. But Chelsea hardly ever lose at the Bridge, so a draw is probably most likely, with Chelsea-United games always being pretty tight.

That table would look so much different if Chelsea didn't get that penalty...

And of course if Sunderland hadn't won it in the last minute. Sorry FD.

[Baddar]

It would, it would.

I would've moved into 3rd or 4th if Chelsea didn't score. If memory serves I had 5 on a draw and 5 on 1-1.

[Liam]

Bah, my computer packed in just before the weekend, so not able to bet.

I'd have been backing Chelsea for definite as wel >_>

[Baddar]

Despite spending most of my time playing GTA, I've got a spare few minutes to put this weekend's betting up.

Bet 1

Bolton vs. Sunderland - Bolton 8/13, Draw 11/5, Sunderland 7/2

Bet 2

Fulham vs. Birmingham - Fulham 11/10, Draw 9/4, Birmingham 2/1

Bet 3

Middlesbrough vs. Portsmouth - Middlesbrough EVS, Draw 9/4, Portsmouth 9/4

Bet 4

Reading vs. Tottenham - Reading 11/10, Draw 9/4, Tottenham 2/1

Bet 5

First goalscorer in any of SATURDAY's Premier League games.

Something tells me we might not get a full compliment of betting.

Just so you all know, there will be one more set of Premier League betting after this, followed by betting for the FA Cup, Uefa Cup and Champions League Finals. The EWB Bookie will end after those matches, and a winner for this season will be confirmed.

[supergrass]

Bet 1 - 5 on Sunderland

Bet 2 - 5 on Birmingham

Bet 4 - 5 on draw (Reading/Tottenham)

Bet 5 - 5 on Robbie Keane to score first

[Liam]

10 on Tottenham

10 on Sunderland

[Pesci]

20 on Spurs. Let's go boys.

[Guest Kou]

20 on Sunderland. Need to pick up points.

[Slogger]

20 on Sunderland, Need to turn things around.

[Scott McFly]

Bet 3 - 6 on Portsmouth to win.

Bet 4 - 6 on Reading/Tottenham draw.

Bet 5 - 4 on John Carew to score first.

Bet 5 - 4 on Carlos Tevez to score first.

I think for the last couple of weeks I might have to join the dark side and put all 20 on one bet if it's still tight at the top.

[supergrass]

Starting to wish I hadn't backed Reading to get a draw considering two of their key players are now dropped. Still, such is my lack of faith in Tottenham that some hope remains.

[brenchill]

Bet 4

Reading vs. Tottenham - Reading 11/10, Draw 9/4, Tottenham 2/1

20 On Reading
