Chelsea 1-0 Bolton
Liverpool 0-1 Wolves
Wigan 2-2 Arsenal
It is safe to say that this was the firstly genuinely awful night of tipping since the creation of this blog. The only one of the favourites to win last night were Chelsea, who scored a lone second half goal to beat Bolton - while 'no bet' may still have been a sensible tip it is still jarring to see the Blues as the only short-priced victors on the night.
As for Liverpool, who were tipped outright at 1/3 and on the handicap to beat Wolves, Roy Hodgson must be a nervous man this morning. The weeks without football clearly upset the Reds rhythm, and their constant attempts at a quick passing game were nearly always thwarted by a very effective Wolves defensive performance. In the end, Wolves were value not only for their 1-0 win, but for a good deal more.
As for Arsenal, who were tipped for the half-time/full-time double result, they got half of their work done. After falling behind to an early penalty, the Gunners were 2-1 ahead at the break and on course to make good the bet at 29/20. However, despite the home team being reduced to ten men, Arsenal were unable to hold on and conceded an equaliser with just 9 minutes to play. Better to lose money on an Arsenal win at 29/20 than 8/15 I suppose, but a loss nonetheless on a very poor evening for the blog.
Overall, now 1/4 (25%) on the blog this week.
