West Ham travel across London to the cauldron of Stamford Bridge today and have little chance of defying their 12/1 odds to beat Chelsea. Since West Ham’s re-promotion to the top flight in 2005/06, Chelsea have won all six league meetings between the sides and are 1/4 with BetUK to win again today.
Visit Betuk.com for more details.
With just four goals in six away games under former Chelsea player turned West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola, coupled with Chelsea’s defensive record against non-big four sides, and the chances of a home shut out look likely.
Chelsea to win to 1-0 or 2-0 at 6/1 and 5/1 respectively are therefore tempting scorelines to bet on with BetUK.
It is also important to recognise the importance of Didier Drogba to the Chelsea team at home. His physical presence is crucial in breaking down sides who congest their back line to counter the Blues fluid passing, and after bagging one from off the bench in mid-week, the Ivorian is good value at 7/2 to bag the first goal with BetUK.
There could be value in betting on West Ham to score first in tonight’s game against Spurs at Upton Park. Tottenham have conceded first in six of their seven away trips and five of eight games at White Hart Lane this season - one of the worst records in the Premier League.
By contrast, West Ham are far better at scoring first, having done so in four of seven home matches. Those stats indicate a touch of value about the even money price on the hosts scoring the first goal of the game with BetUK.

As the news spread, punters made a dash for their computers to get their bets in with their online sports books. Word was out that the financially troubled Weymouth Football Club was going to field their youth team against Rushden & Diamonds.
It’s being reported that more than £1 million was paid out after heavy betting action came in on Weymouth losing this match…and lose it they did. The rumour was in fact true and the home side cashed big tickets in one of the largest non-league football betting coups.
It all started when the entire team made the decision to go on strike due to not being paid so far this season and that there wouldn’t be any medical insurance for the match. That resulted in the club being forced to start the Weymouth teenage team.
Bookmakers didn’t know what to make of the sudden spike in volume for what would normally be a relatively obscure betting event. They immediately were forced to cut the odds as the money poured in and some even suspended the betting entirely.
Punters were said to be racing from one bookmaker to another and getting all they could down at their online bookmakers as word of the strike leaked out.
The obvious thought was that a team of 17 year olds would have no chance. And that proved to be right as they were drubbed 9-0 and all those who wagered against Weymouth cashed their tickets.
One bookmaker said “Normally £30,000 to £40,000 would be paid out on a match like this across the whole industry. But we paid out in the region of £100,000 and we are 20 per cent of the industry.”
Steve Palmer, deputy sports editor at the Racing Post, said that the match had become “the centre of the betting universe” before the game.
“Nonleague football is one of the few sports where punters can get an edge on the bookmakers,” he said. “They can have superior knowledge and the bookmakers can get caught with their trousers down.”
