Chelsea v Manchester United - Champions League Final on Wed 21/5

[alexmac]

I have jumped out of my antepost Chelsea bet. Had 6/1 on them, have slung all potential winnings on Man Utd to win the trophy. Its an all or nothing match for me now - thought about hedging, but I really am confident that Utd will have too much going forward for Chelski...

Bring it on, and fingers crossed we get a cracker...

Im afraid that if A.Cole stays out from yesterdays injury the game should be baptised as "C.Ronaldo's party"..

[drawback05]

All Manchester United fans can now relax. The cup is theirs !!
and how do I know ?
well I have had three bets that's why
9/1 Ballack FG, 3/1 Ballack Anytime, 125/1 Chelsea 2-1 and Ballack FG double !!!
sorry Chelsea fans !

[josedias]

Manchester United is the best team in the world at the moment, so they gonna win. Cristiano Ronaldo gonna do a memorable match.

Chelsea to Win... 25£

[Hooloovoo]

I believe this will be a tight match.

4 scorecast bets for me:

Ronaldo, Drogba, Ballack, all 1-1

and finally Rooney 2-2 as a "fun bet", odd of 190 didn't hurt either

I'm on commentators first cliche being "first ever englsh final"!! Too close to call so silly fun bet on Paddy Power, seems to have been money for it as the odds are into 4's from 6's!!

Only fear is Tyldesley comes out with that comment before the whistle has been blown and i'm out of the game!!!

Chelsea to win 1-0 by Frank Lampard penalty.

[MartyMcG_1967]

Have opted for Chelsea to win this at 3.2 in the 90 with small bets at good odds on Chelsea in extra time at 13 and Chelsea to win on penalties at 10.5 which I think is a real possibility.

Some people have said take Drogba out of the equation and that is much of Chelsea's attacking threat, I don't think so, Ballack and Lampard are both outstanding goalscoring midfielders who in tight games can pop up in good positions to score from distance or with a header as Ballack showed at Stamford Bridge v Utd. I feel Chelsea's 3 in the middle have the edge over United in this department and I think the odds make the value lie with Chelsea as it should be 50/50 IMO and I just have a feeling having lost out on the league Chelsea could gain revenge here.

Will be a tight game and noticed on the Racing Post a lot of bookies said the draw at h/t at evens was a fantastic bet but I think I will just stick with fairly small stakes on Chelsea in the 90 and in et and pens and hopefully enjoy a good game.

In my personal opinion I think Man Utd are the better team in this one.

Wouldnt be surprised if Chelski edged it but I can see a typical defencive game, with either one nicking it late on or in extra time for me....

I believe Man U have more of a chance of winning it in the 90 minutes than Chelsea though

GL all

[hewie]

im a tad late, but nothing much has happened, iv put 50 on half time draw and 150 on man utd win the cup

[DJ]

Scholes getting booked landed me £100 profit on a £50 bet so I was pretty made up!! Whatever happens now for the rest of the game, it's a good game for me!

See my Glory Hunt thread and my tip in this thread for proof! :-)

[slipkid]

I also took Scholes to be booked first but Makelele was booked at the same time wasn't he? Until I'm paid out I'm not celebrating this one!

I bet on Scholes just getting carded, the odds were less but I felt it was a better bet. Makelele was booked first because Scholes was on the floor with blood pouring out of his face. So sadly I think that you're bet will not be a winner.

[slipkid]

Ahhh I misread your post DJ. I'll let you know! I already know really...

Booooooooooooooo!

[xodale]

paddypower seem to have marked scholes as a loss for first booking - i thought he got the first card -- but in any case since it was the same foul shouldn't it be a split bet with makelele??
