Haha..many people are saying United will lose with scores of 2-0 and 3-0....I still believe Manchester United will win...simple reason...if it is so obvious that Chelsea will win, and everyone puts their money on Chelsea, the bookies will be ble_eding. Everytime there is a popular notion, like "oh no Liverpool is dead, this will be their 5th loss in a row", what happens, all those who bet on United winning, just donated their money to the bookies.
Similarly, its extremely hard for human nature to not follow the herd instinct..".hey I am sure United will be beat, and by at least 2 goals, similar to at Anfield".Whenever there is a big game, the betting moneys increase and everytime there is an upset, the bookies make money, tons of it, while fans and punters are left discussing the things that turned the game around, the PK that was not awarded, the offside which ruled the goal out, etc, the weak defending, etc,etc.Pundits and journalists actually have a "duty" towards making people's minds up for them.
So be wary, stay out of bets, do not let them make money out of your hard earned income, just enjoy the game.
Well let's see if this theory is true by the end of 90 mins + injury time.
Did you expect an away draw by the Tykes at S_hitty yesterday?
I was lucky to place bets on total goals: 5 and 6, thinking that S_hitty was going to knock Burnley for 4 to 5, with a consolation goal from them.
When the score was 3-2 at the hour mark, I said ok just put one more in S_hitty, and I will get a higher pay off, but LMAO, it came courtesy of Burnley...haha, love you guys even though you beat us at Turf Moor.
