Wednesday Betting

The betting options this Wednesday (31st January) aren't as bad as I thought earlier in the week. A number of the "big boys" are at home tonight - Chelsea, Manchester United & Olympiakos.

I'm going to ignore Chelsea for now though. They seem to be missing John Terry at the back and Blackburn always provide tough opposition. Manchester United should beat bottom-placed Watford but I'm starting to worry that Manchester United's lead in the Premiership may make them feel complacent. As for Olympiakos, their odds are 1/12 which is really quite depressing.

However, I have found a bet for this evening. A quarter of the Paddy Power Pot (£46) is going on Linfield. Linfield are playing Limavady at Windsor Park and I believe they can go top of the league if they win. Mid-week matches in the Irish League can be dubious at times, but Linfield should win this one. Odds of 1/5 are "Bookie Beater" odds and the Paddy Power Pot should be hovering around the £200 mark this time tomorrow - if all goes according to plan.
