BTTS at 1.80 on Bet365 is a steal I think.

I play for money rather than for fun though so I rarely leave the 1.70-2.20 range but even then I think you could get more value out of the X.

X + BTTS would give you 4.0 (on Bet365, maybe small difference on Betfair).

X + BTTS + above 2 cards = 6.0 on Bet365.

Pretty good value as the only real worry is the X but if you get it you'll likely enable the others as I dont think 0-0 will happen. And 2+ cards seems very likely as well considering the importance.

Personally dont dare to go for a result bet. Think 1.8 on BTTS is a good value bet, putting 4/5 units on it. And a fun little 1/5 unit bet on BTTS + 4 cards or more + 8 corners or more at 7.56. Certainly not the worst "fun bet" I've made even though 4+ cards are really rare in PL.
You might as well have written that in Swedish !

I have no idea what any of it means lol.

Really looking forward to this.

I'd prefer Watford to win to set up a Villa - West Ham winner takes all.

I have a sneaky feeling that Lucky Eddie the Smug is going to get his usual luck this year.

I'm glad it isn't only me ! Whatever happened to good old 5/1 for a Watford win type odd ?

As for the match - Watford win for me. Would love to see West Ham relegated - would be justice for the stadium con.

I cannot see WHU wanting a draw when they have the lottery of playing Villa in the last game.

I really do want to see Bournemouth and Villa get relegated but have the same concern as Mayonaise re Smug and Plucky

I can't see Muff beating Southampton, but I can see them getting something at Everton on the last day. On this basis a draw would be nice.

No chance of playing out for a draw , a win will seal one of the teams survival . I’d prefer a Watford win, I really want a winner takes all game between villa West Ham on the last day of the season

Now that would be good, somehow though I expect the current bottom three to be in the same position by close of play on Sunday week.

I can now look forward to the Albion playing without fear, and hopefully with panache, against Newcastle and Burnley. 43 points on the board would certainly be something to savour at the end of the season.

It took me a moment too! BTTS is Both Teams To Score and the X means a win. How he’s shown the odds does confuse me though.

If West Ham win tonight then I think Watford could be down. Can't see them getting any points from their last 2 games, and I can see one of Villa or Bournemouth doing enough to overtake them. Bournemouth look a different team now.

Agree. A Watford defeat tonight will see them right in the shite. Only 3 points ahead of plucky and Villa, with City and Arsenal to play, with a gd advantage over plucky of only 4 which could easily disappear with those two matches to play. I think for Watford tonight, this is the very definition of a MUST WIN game.

Will be cheering on Watford. Would love that Villa-West Ham game on the last day of the season to be a relegation play-off.

Think Plucky going down would be great. We always do rubbish against them and i'm not sure they're actually that bad - some injuries and period where they were sleepwalking has killed them. If they stay up they'll be better next year. Contrast to Villa who are IMO generally a very poor side

Very much so, and yet a Watford win is the least likely outcome according to the betting. You can get matched at 3.65 on Betfair, cracking bet imo.

I would say more likely a nailed on Both Score bet.

Both will be desperate to win, neither will be playing for a draw.

At last a relegation game that I can relax and not really care that much about, I’d prefer a Watford win although a draw would also be ok

My biggest problem is my wife’s restlessness at the amount of football I am watching :smile:
