Beware - great odds ahead


Today and tomorrow's matches bring us three matches which odds for a draw result are surprisingly high. Just make sure you make reasonable bets and not falling for those high odds, as a draw is a tricky result to predict…

Arsenal and Everton meet at the Emirates with Everton looking for at least a draw to cement their place in the 5th place. Arsenal, on the other hand, are only fighting for their pride, as they have no real chance of reaching the 2nd place. There is a consensus amongst BetUknow community: 61% bet on Arsenal to win the match, including both teams’ top predictors. Still, with Everton still fighting for the UEFA cup spot and odds of 11\4 for a draw, you probably think this is a chance to win some quid… This is possibility, but be cautious, as most of the community bag the differ.

The next encounter is between Liverpool and Manchester City. The Citizens lost any chance of taking place in next year’s UEFA Cup, while Liverpool “lost” the chance of losing the fourth place. 14/5 for a draw look very tempting and this is probably the reason for both teams’ top predictors to put their money on it to happen.
Despite this, the community actually sees Liverpool as clear favorites to win the match, so it will be interesting to see who is wrong.


Tomorrow's match is the most important one. Even though is seems unlikely for Manchester United to lose points next week, Chelsea just have to win in order to keep their dream alive for yet another week. The community is separated evenly by their thoughts and the top predictors suggest the draw is in order. Considering the odds for the draw are as high as 3/1, this looks like a good pick. Do you really think Newcastle are capable of holding Chelsea at bay, or is it just another issue of the herd going for the tempting odds?

The real tip for the next days is: Beware, as the good odds might bring you down.
