ARSENE WENGER meets his nemesis tonight (8pm) but that won't stop me backing Arsenal to beat Chelsea in what could be a pre-Christmas cracker.
The Frenchman has faced Jose Mourinho nine times – and never won (five defeats, four draws).
A 2-0 Capital One Cup defeat back in October continued the hoodoo but the Blues put out a stronger side than Wenger that night.
Arsenal have suffered back-to-back defeats at Napoli and Man City but will be encouraged by the number of goals Chelsea are leaking.
Eight have been shipped to Stoke and Sunderland in recent weeks and even Crystal Palace netted at Stamford Bridge last week.
With the Gunners missing centre-half Laurent Koscielny, as well as Jack Wilshere, there could be goals at either end with Chelsea cracking 12 in their last five although Mourinho says he'll be concentrate on sorting out the defence.
Thomas Vermaelen and Per Mertesacker haven't looked happy together at the back and if he starts Fernando Torres is worth a look at 11-4 with 888sport to score.
Juan Mata has netted in each of his four starts against Arsenal in all competitions for Chelsea and is 5-1 at Betfred to make it five on the bounce.
Theo Walcott scored his first Gunners goal against Chelsea in the 2007 Carling Cup Final and has since netted in three Premier League games against the Blues.
Walcott netted a double in that 6-3 defeat at the Etihad and should start. He is 13-5 with Paddy Power to score.
At the other end Olivier Giroud will test the Blues defence and he is 7-1 at Coral to break the deadlock and it's worth a look.
Arsenal are a biggest 7-5 with the likes of Paddy Power and William Hill to win while Chelsea are 9-4 at bet365 with the draw 12-5 at Betfred and bet365.
Another good bet could be over 2.5 goals when you check out Chelsea's last five scores away – 1-3, 2-0, 0-3, 3-4 and 3-2.
Over 2.5 goals pays 4-5 at McBookie while both to score is 8-13 at McBookie and others.
While I fancy Arsenal, Mourinho's not daft and knows his side have to defend better and close the Gunners down in midfield. He's likely to put out a more cautious line-up and the overs and btts bets may have to go on hold until line-ups are revealed.
Remember bet365 have a £50 in-play offer on the game. Use it wisely and check the terms and conditions.

Any advice on how best to use the Bet365 free in-play bet?
Back £50 over 0.5 goals at 1-20 with 365 on alternative goals market and £3.50 on 0-0/no goalscorer at 13-1 betfair for small loss guaranteed ££52 return which frees up a £50 bet.
What do you mean “even palace netted” Mr F
phil72, are Palace the most prolific away scorers in the Premier League? No, so the fact “even” Palace netted at Stamford Bridge and made a right fist of it is worth a mention.
A palace fan might take offence to that! :-)

As for the free bet this is what i was looking at doing to try and get profit.
Place before K.O
Arsenal to win £50
Chelsea win £23
In Play
Draw £50.
Total Stake £123
Returns
Arsenal Win £120 plus £50 free inplay Total £170
Draw £170
Chelsea win £73 plus £50 free inplay total £123.
So if I have calculated this right a win or draw would see a £50 rise in your balance a Chelsea win would return original stake. If I have done this wrong please point this out to me and good luck.

Bet365 – be careful with the in-play bet. If you read terms and conditions carefully they don’t like bets that guarantee returns. I.e. if you back Arsenal, Draw, Chelsea all through Bet365 you may be breaking the T&Cs. Obviously you can place the third bet elsewhere ;)
Dave, this in-play bet is put up often by bet365 and there have been warnings before about abusing it. As you say their t&cs make it clear what you can and can’t do. Anyone who fully covers their original bet to guarantee a profit with bet365 could have the bets voided. It’s down to their discretion. As I said yesterday I’ll have a normal bet then try to back something at a big price and try to make it pay off. But that’s just me.
Yes Dave, that’s why you need to put your Chelsea bet on with another bookmaker. Just use Bet365 to put on the Arsenal to win before the game and the draw in-play.
christmas mayhem;
3-3 @66/1
^4.5g @21/5
^5.5g @9/1
all @ladbrokes
happy crimbo.
Gmaclaza is absolutely correct about how best to use the offer. I’ll be doing that and putting 50 inplay on either 2-1 Arsenal or Walcott fgs
I like the look of arsenal 1-0 half time final score Arsenal 2-Chelsea1
25/1
play a draw 4 sure
£50 on over 0.5 goals returns £52
Put around £3 on 0-0 full time score = £52
£50 free bet on a longshot like Walcott to score next or mertesacker anytime and most you’ll be down is £1 with big profit potential
£3 on a 0-0 full time (13/1) is a return of £39?

£3 on £135 back! did have dundee utd on it but they won 1-0
merry christmas footie fans!!! on walcott a/t arsenal 3-1
Chef N you don’t have to do all bets through bet365 you could do Chelsea to win through any other betting site, then bet365 would be none the wiser. Nonetheless I prefer the method K gave, over 0.5 goals before the watch, bet around £3 on 0-0 (through a different site to make sure you don’t break the terms of bet365) then put the in play bet on Walcot to score anytime or first if you’re feeling lucky, he’s been on good form lately and I beleive he’ll score today
I have contacted bet365 through the chat servive on line and have it confirmed that you can bet on all 3 outcomes and I have of course taken proof of this conversation.
I know this is probably a stupid question but what does ‘1Pt’ and ‘2Pts’ mean?
Josh, in general terms it’s a low-stakes warning. 1pt depends if you have a staking plan and how you calculate 1pt. For example if you £1000 then 1pt could be a tenner. If you have £20 then 1pt could be £2. It’s up to you how you work out what you can afford. My own staking plan is 100pts and I’m thinking of starting a 100pt low-risk staking plan on New Year’s Day and see if I can build it up mostly betting on odds-on shots.
Break your betting balanace into 100 points and that is the recommended bet
Fun bet on Ashley cole to score anytime #roughcrowd
Robando, not sure if Cole will start – so best waiting for line-ups.
I see there’s a few mention Walcott for first/anytime goalscorer. I’ve just done him for FGS on Paddy Power @ a huge 9/1, and they’ll refund all losing bets on this market should the game end in a draw.
Alan, that’s a good offer because draw definitely has a chance. If there were more games Arsenal wouldn’t be my Super Single so that’s got to be in my thinking.
Anyone know why sivasppor in Turkish league are such good odds 17/10 and thank you mr f for the tips had a good win yesterday
Lee, probably because they were rubbish last week – I didn’t back them but did notice they were 1-5 and drew (possibly a cup-tie).
Real Madrid last night -1 for £232 sickening isn’t the word. Barca -1 juventus fiortina the others.
Here’s how to use the 365 free bet. Stake £50 arsenal pre match. Put your free £50 on arsenal in play, job done. Basically getting £50 on arsenal at 3/1 instead of 6/4.
Mr.F. That Coral bet you were on about btts in match is for new customers online and is 5/2.
alva, fair enough. It’s worth a look for anyone who fancies it.
365 free bet on game you must place a pre match bet. Then a in play bet once that is a loser you get a free bet that is how I read it anyway if I’m wrong let me know
A bank builder series of bets would be a great idea Mr F.
Hughie Place a per match bet then a in play bet to the same stake. If the in play bet loses u get it credited back to your account to withdraw
Successful Sunday for me with Juventus Everton and Real landing a nice treble, also had singles on Barkley anytime and Everton 2-1! Get in, on to Monday and I really fancy Chelsea to hurt the gunners, but will be waiting for team news before placing bets, merry Christmas everyone hope we all drain the bookies dry
but if u do it the way K said then does that not mean bet365 could give u a £3 or watever the stake on no goals as a free bet instead of the £50 u put on 0.5 goals??because it says place a pre match bet but you would be placing two bets and the might give u the lower stake as a free bet..
25 points on Wenger to be pitchside more than Mourinho.
20 points on both coaches to approach fourth official and complain during match.
20 points on one team captain to approach referee at full time and tell him he got one or more decisions wrong.
10 points on first goal scorer to pull club crest on strip and kiss it.
10 points on anytime goalscorer to repeat above.
Mr f…. Why don’t you go through a- turn a tenner into a grand through January.
charlieDes, anyone who wants can try that – but tell me this what happens if the first bet goes down?
LOL RALJAACA , I agree on all accounts ha, hope to see some horses up on Boxing Day ‘mate, AGREE WITH ALAN & MR F Walcott fgs is a decent shout and at 9/1 with draw as insurance that’s steady, yday saw bags of goals galore and over 2.5 goals all over Europe don’t see why this can’t be the same, got to favour 2-1 either say possibly score draw
Everyone is predicting btts tonight, I think it’s one of those games that could end up 0-0 or 4-4
Pete it states if your In play bet loses they will refund up to the largest pre match bet.
JON OBI MIKEL TO SCORE AT ANYTIME 25/1.
PER MERTESACKER TO SCORE AT ANYTIME 12/1.
Chelsea will play to contain Arsenal and counter attack. The Blues record against Arsenal is very good and although Torres and Eto’o could be considered for first goal scorers at 8/1 or Ramsay at 14/1 I see Obi Mikel at 25/1 to score at anytime as well worth a gamble and Per Mertesacker at 12/1 as likewise.
John Obi Mikel at 25/1 who manages a league goal every 192 games…..worth backing at 125/1 maybe. He gets a nosebleed every time he leaves his own half (in a chelsea shirt anyway) and cant imagine him having the license to enter into a position worth having a attempt on goal from.
Worth a couple of £’s but obviously no chance as Hank the expert points out. Give us a decent priced tip then?
Team Line-ups dependant of course but John Terry with an average of a goal every 11 league games is surely a better value each-way shout at 25/1 or Ivanovic with the same goals to games ratio at 28/1…in fact anyone but John Obi Mikel.
No need to get ratty, just merely pointing out that Mikel is possibly the most negative footballing midfielder to have ever played premier league….
Apologies Hank but hope you will hail me if Mikel nets a hat trick!!!
Done couple of shillings on the 2 you mentioned, thanks.
I will absolutely hail you if Mikel nets tonight. Good luck.
Good luck to you too mate, he is playing so its a start!!
John Terry at 17/2 anytime looks a good shout for the free in play bet. What you think
Can anyone tell me if my free inplay bet is a winner e.g £50 on @ 1/1 will I return the whole 100 or just the 50 profit? Thanks in advance
Here is what I’ve gone for
£5 arsenal draw no bet 4/5
£4 draw and under 2.5 7/2 skybet
If arsenal win I’m evens a draw below 2-2 I’m £28 up if Chelsea win….. You no the rest
I feal hurt by your.comments mr b sure you did.not.mean if
phil 72, you’re a Palace fan so should have a thicker skin. I’m a Clydebank fan so I know how you feel. I’d reckon we’d beat you if we played just now. Last time we played Chelsea it was 2-2 – and you didn’t quite manage that.
Expecting a tight match, First Half Under 1.5 goals, Total goals 2-3. I think that the result is 1-1, but one can score 1 more. So possible results 1-1 , 1-2 or 2-1
Michael will be 50 u don’t get stake back.
Arsenal Win and Over 12 Corners and Under 4 cards @ 18/1
william Hill
Had a fiver on 0-0 at 8/1 never know!
Never do 0-0, always do no goalscorer instead. If you do no goalscorer and the game finishes 1-0 with an own goal scored then your bet is still a winner. If you do 0-0 then your bet is a loser.
I’ve got my free £5 to use with SkyBet so am I right in saying I can do the £50 on over 0.5 goals with 365, stick my £5 free bet on 0-0 with SkyBet and that’ll mean I’ve got a risk free £50 bet in play with 365 given I’ll have covered my losses with the first two?
So can use the £50 free bet on a goalscorer or such?
Dave, as far as I know the free bet can be used on any inplay market.
Want a 1-1 draw so the mighty reds will be top on xmas day!!! Good luck guys and a merry xmas to all.!!!!!
Arsenal v Chelsea
Reference offer
I have noticed if you were to stake £50 on arsenal draw no bet currently 4/6 you would win £83.33. Then in play place your £50 on Chelsea to win currently 21/10 winning you £155, so far you have staked £100 if your inplay bet loses you get the stake refunded, so if Chelsea win you are up £55 if the game ends in a draw your original stake is refunded and your in play is refunded so you neither lose or gain anything and if arsenal win you are up £33.33 as your inplay stake is refunded, so basically you cannot lose from the offer. Happy Christmas
Think I will bet over 5(AH) first half corners on the Arse/Chel match then in running bet Giroud 1st goalscorer for the free bet.
Ok cheers Leon
Chelsea win & Both teams to score…9/2 On it like a car bonnet!!!!!!!!
so in order to claim the free bet u need to place a pre-match bet…then bet a losing bet in-play???
Yes. if your in play bet loses you get your stake back
Wenger against Morinho played 9 Chelsea 5 wins 4 draws..Arsenal have lost past 3 games against chelsea…..
Lets not lie here its 3 points back to north London arsenal 3-0 Theo 1st goal
£50 placed on over 0.5 gls 1/25
12/5 on the draw will be cut to 11/5 within seconds of ko as that’s what happened last time but gotta be quick to get on. Put my fiver from skybet on 2-2 at 12/1 to so looking forward to 7.45 :) #prayfortheSCOREdraw
Thanks foe yesterday tips
Michael you WILL get your stake back as its just a normal bet. Bet £50, max stake, prematch and win or lose you place another £50 in play if it wins at evens you get your £100 win. Paul, think you need to put a new thread explaining as people are being misled by this. It’s just betting as normal and they’ll refund in play bet if it loses
Craig, all people need to do is check terms and conditions on bet365 website or look at full page ad in Racing Post. It’s been explained 100 times in the past year. It’s a not a new offer as you know.
So u guys actually think Arsenal will win? The best result they can get is a draw which is unlikely.Chelsea will win 1-2. My money on chelsea.
ola, you might be right but you can’t say Chelsea will win.
Any tips on FGS? Maybe Giroud or Ramsey?
Alty, I’ve tipped Giroud, could as easily be Ramsey at a decent price.
Thanks mr f, think il have a fiver on both
thanks leon that sorts that out,im gna go with the way a few of use are doing it an go over 0.5 then cover with 0-0,then i might have my free bet on walcott anytime at 9/4 or just an arsenal win.
i assume u can use ur inplay bet as soon as k.o has happened im right in saying this?just want to make sure before i place bet
Yes, Pete you can
…don’t be surprised if the site goes down temporarily though!
I have went for £50 on over 0.5 goals and went elsewhere for a few pounds on the 0-0 draw.
Mr f I have gone with arsenal over 1.5 team goals at evens 40 on is this a valid bet I presume it is cheers in advance
arsenal too fast – all over the pitch for old chelsea, £273 half time /full time gunners for £1259 pick up
arsenal 3 chelsea 0
tommo cheers mate,one more thing,stupid question i know but if i placed £49.58 instead of say £40 £50 will they still give u the £49.58 in a free inplay bet?(seems to good to be true)
Dave black I am doing what you are doing. Skybet free fiver on 0-0 and £50 on bet365 pre match over 0.5 goals.
Then £50 in play on what I like
You basically have to have double the amount of your pre match bet in your account! So you would have to have a balance of £99.16.
Pre match bet of £49.58
In play bet of £49.58
If your in play bet loses it will be refunded normally about two hours after the game.
tommo,its aswell i read that,ive only £49.58 in account so really i would have to split that in half in order to take part in this?,i thought once u placed the bet for 49.58 they give u a free bet straight away to use inplay. i would need to have a good read at t&c’s
pete, you need to use your own cash. Everyone looking at this bet should check the terms and conditions.
Iif the weather has its way in the arsenal vs chelsea game ..it could be wise to go for goals and my take would be over 3.5 goals ….
Your bets will have to £24.79 then. No they refunded the bet if it loses. It is basically a no lose bet!
My tip is the opposite of what Andy Wyper will tip in the next hour. He is a jinx and a half that boy
i had a bet on 2-1 to the arsenal and a bet on ramsey to score anytime @5-1. seems a good price.
tommo,mr f,glad thats cleared up thanks for that,now on to what i going to pick for my inplay bet,decisions decisions,goodluck on what u all decide pick
Anytime Goalscorer – Arteta 6/1 william hill
If he starts he’ll be on penalties and with the weather like it is today that may be a good opportunity for anytime gl scorer, and a reliable pen taker at that.
First goal giroud 6/1 Arsenal & over 2.5 12/5
GUYS what do you all think about 50 on arsenal returns 125 and use I play 50 on draw returns 170 with bet365. Then use another site to bet on Chelsea ??
1-0 Chelsea it is then
My choice Eden Hazard to score first within 20 mins 20/1
Corals are offering an enhanced 5-2 on btts guys worth a shout!
Mr F do you reckon Mourinho has tightened up his defence? Or are we still go for Arsenal win? Small stakes of course.
Skegs are you posting as Andy Wyper too? If so then that’s a bit sad isn’t it?
MrF .. Recently you have produced a 50%+ strike rate on super singles about evens, I’m sure you could look into a few games to find short odds on and give advice for the general punter like me. If the first one goes down: we are gambling, we do not expect to win 100% of the time, it’s our own fault for putting our money down on losers. No-ones forcing us, just a suggestion.
Charles Mr F gives you a treble at shorter odds each one could be your SS. It’s your choice.
Over 2.5 goals it has to be
Frank to score 1st if he starts and Blues 2~1. 75/1.
I’m doing the Bet365 special, £50 on over 0.5, £3.50 on no first goalscorer (on the high street so as not to fall foul of any T&Cs, then using my £50 risk free bet on Ramsay anytime.
I am using Bet365 special, £50 Arsenal to win to nil @7/2 and will place £50 in play bet for Arsenal to win.
Small bet on Giroud 1st goal scorer @7/1 with Coral
Come on Arsenal 2-0, Giroud to score 1st and Ramsey to get the second for my Fantasy Football.. :))))
Can I do more than one in play bet or does it have to be the whole 40 I bet pre game bet in one go?
Penalty taker Lampard 14/1 with Lads. to score 1st. Chelsea forwards seldom score away from home in Premier! Worth a small interest???
Put my fiver on Serge Gnabry first goalscorer – he won’t play as he isn’t starting or on the bench so I’ll be guaranteed a void bet.
Then I’ll wait for about 10 minutes before placing in-play bet, but thinking Lampard or Terry anytime scorer.
Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Rosicky, Ramsey, Ozil, Walcott, Giroud
Chelsea XI: Cech; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Mikel, Lampard; Ramires, Willian, Hazard; Torres.
Tempest u don’t know Andy Wyper so u have know way of knowing how big an insult that is. I’ll let it slide this time and assure u we are 2 very different people but we do know each other well.
That’s my bet placed. £50 pre match bet on O 0.5 goals @ 1/25.
£3.50 on 0-0 with betfair @ 14/1 covers my £50 incase there’s no goals.
Still not decided who to go with yet. Wit the bad weather I’m thinking good chance of
A pen so frank Lampard @ 11/4 anytime goal or big JT anytime goal @ 17/2.
Would prefer JT with the price but think franks obviously got the better chance. What we think guys are we gonna beat the bookies tonight
Bets are on, taking Torres 13/2 first goal scorer inplay!
More Paddy Power patheticness tonight. Tried to stick £100 on Walcott first goal @ 9/1 and it wouldn’t allow me, tried £50 and it wouldn’t allow me so I phoned to stick the £50 on and was offered £10 @ 9/1 and the remaining £40 @ 7/1. No thanks I will take my business elsewhere as 9/1 available with other bookies. Only chose Paddy Power because of the money back special but they can shove it.
5pds torres 1st goal think he gt early goal
Will the free bet come up on the account once game starts??
Betvictor refunding if a red card and sure it was betbutler or boylesport refunding is 1 team doesn’t score
£50 arsenal win
. £50 in play on Ramires first scorer@ 20/1. Got to take advantage of the free bet by going for a high price. Looking at the correct score odds the bookies strongly fancy 1-1.
Where does the free bet come up on bet 365?
Andy its not a free bet just a returned stake on losing in play bets
£50 on the draw 11/5 as expected :)
Haha hands up who took the 15/8 right at the start of the game for their in play bet on chelsea, gotta love em bookies…
Lampard 11/4 anytime.
Anyone ken a good website to stream the arsenal game on my phone ?
Where’s my free bet how to find it on mobile ?
Greig I’d settle for the 1-1 just now
Michael, you have to place a bet as normal, from your balance. If the bet loses you get the stake back, hence the free bet
I placed 50 on arsenal before the game and have not had the free bet equivalent as yet
Michael, u need to place a new (in-play) bet with your own money (makes sense to do same stake as your pre match bet) and if this loses your in-play stake will be refunded into your account
Can u still cash out on ur bet before game an if bet loses in play will still get money back
James’s…no to cash out on original bet
You have got the same amount in play and it’s risk free
You have to place a bet of the same amount in play. If it wins its as normal. If it loses you get your in play bet stake back hence risk free
“@bet365: Remember the In-Play bet needs to be placed out of your own funds and we’ll refund qualifying losing bets within 2 hours of the game ending!”
Oh that’s crap i thought if u done a pre match bet I was entitled to same stake free inplay bet lol, I guess I wanted a bit too much!
Anyone get on chelsea race to 3 corners at 5/4 ?? Never had it myslef but far too big a price 4-2 chelsea atm
Poor game so far conditions not helping. Went for Walcott anytime 21/10 hopefully picks up in 2nd half
Any suggestions lads on inplay bet? I’m thinking no first goal at 10/3 the way this is looking
Thoughts on 1st half? Arsenal will have wind on their side 2nd half so I envisage Arsenal win to nil.
Went for lampard 2-1 chelsea scorecast, so close to first goal aswell, oh well prob not to be. Hopefully rain goes of make conditions slightly better for 2nd half
I’ve just my £50 in play bet on Torres @ 10/1
Chris, I did over 0.5 goals then in-play backed no goals after the way it started. Can’t see there being two or more.
Penalty awarded anyteam 9/2. Should have had one already. So proabably not gonna be my night

raaljaca, you need a quick goal or two and it doesn’t look likely.
Never betting with William Hill again. So I have done this bet (below) and they refuse to give http://t.co/QTGB8aHbaV
me any form of ‘cash in’ offer which they were happy to flash all over the bet to start with but haven’t offered me a penny. They were prepared to offer me a cash out yesterday when Madrid were level, is funny that aint it but there refusing on this 1. Typical that aint it. I am furious with them!
Brad, have you tried to speak to them?
Michael u need to place it with your own cash if it doesn’t win you get it back.
Yeah Just back everything then you can’t lose
Arsenal 2-1 was my inplay bet.looks grim but a goal cud open the game up.
Should have kept your 3 quid jaca
Do i cash out on my free inplay bet on the draw? Getting tight
13enno, it’s looked like a draw since the first minute. Don’t know if you can cash out.
Dunno bout free matched bets we should have got free bets for watching this tosh !!! Zzzzzzzzzz
William, it’s worse than any Scottish game I’ve watched this season – and there have been a few bad ones.
If u cash out free bet offer is INVALID don’t do it
Need a goal i covered the 0.0 with sky bet an hate using their site.at least im not losing anyhing,also means i can do win rush as bet365 dnt do that bet
Mr F I phoned them up twice and they said its a traders decision, in other words I won’t cough up anything but am happy to when Real Madrid are drawing. Embarrassing. I can see this ending as a draw!! :/
Brad, you could have simply covered it.
Thanks for the heads up. Fingers crossed for a draw, i do have Arsenal won covered though
But they advertised the cash in option on the bet, were prepared to offer me a return when Real were drawing on my last team on my five fold yesterday and today the refuse. It’s not on. Really poor marketing and I’m debating taking it further with them.
Brad, unfortunately with the csh-out, a relatively new feature, they can suspend whenever they like. Why didn’t you cash out yesterday?
Get in on the draw. Free inplay bet comes in, does this mean my orginal bet (Arsenal win) is refunded?
£60 profit cheers for early xmas pressie 365, same again next time this offer appears :) twice in a row it’s paid off
God, even the Iran Pro League tomorrow looks interesting after that poor excuse of a game. Roll on Boxing Day
Jose master plan once again- play for the 0-0! The last game v Man U with the offer even though I said draw I foolishly had 1-1 and 2-2 wasn’t about to make that mistake again! Had draw pre-match and in-play took giroud first goal, he had 2 good chances and I was willing it in! But a draw is a good result as Liverpool are top at Xmas :)
2 £5 singles on 4-1 & 4-2 Lewis in the darts 2/1 & 5/1 & £150 banked
Great night for the bookies I guess. Reminds me of the Uruguay v Jordan game where everybody lost out on goal scorer bets. Incredibly I made a profit thanks to the Bet365 offer!
Well what a rubbish game
Mr F they failed to offer me a cash out at any time on my 5 fold, all went in play and 4 came in, I needed 1 goal and got offered zilch. It’s appealing marketing on their behalf at William Hill and I’ll be avoiding them at all costs from now on. At no stage did they offer me a penny which isn’t on. No point having the system if they fail to respond to it. I’m gutted to be honest and I’ve spoken with them and they won’t do anything about it. If only Giroud could have been on it tonight lol! I’ve had a great weekends betting so I’m trying to not let it bother me but I think it’s a sham from them. Yesterday I chose not to cash out the offer they gave as I was about too and then Madrid scored and won my full bet for me. Just ironic that same situation today they offered me nothing at all.
I thought your bets would be voided if you picked 1st and anytime goal scorers in a 0-0 ??
As an arsenal fan really disappointed with them and wenger today. Expected Chelsea to play for the draw but arsenal at home?
Ramsey and rosicky were largely anonymous and Arteta seemed to only pass backwards but no substitutions made.
Against the more defensive teams we struggle to score the opening goal usually relying on brilliance or a mistake and I expect more of the same against west ham on Boxing Day :/
Dire Xmas treat. Worst game I’ve seen this season since Chelsea v utd. And as for giroud he isn’t good enough for team like arsenal.
Gutted I lost big money on the over 2.5 goals, but I thought Chelsea were excellent & countered well, though the gunners were poor.
But disagree with the comments saying it was a shit game.
Bazza, I’m sorry for me it was rotten. Give me Clydebank-Auchinleck anyday.
Bazza agree with you mate people saying poor game cuz there lost there money and it was good game chances but bad weather not best game but sure wasn’t the worst
gunner4life, you may have enjoyed it and are welcome to your opinion but as a neutral that was rubbish – terrible advert for English football. Everyone watching on the Record sports desk was bored to tears.
Bookmakers definitely recouped after yesterday’s antics! Glad I kept my stakes small and losses were at a minimal. Nonetheless have had some good fortunes elsewhere today, let’s hope for a good Boxing Day! Will be checking your tips then Mr F and co! Merry Xmas to everyone!!!
placeyourbets, I put out ample warnings, also commented early on to get on 0-0 if you had a free inplay bet. For those who thought it was a good game you’re easy pleased.
Did 0-0 in the arsenal game as tipped above. And had a 16/1 winner on the racing page. Good day. Everyone have a good Christmas!
People really need to read the terms and conditions. A free bet doesn’t appear in your account. You needed to make an in-play bet with your own money and that would be refunded if it loses. That is the ‘free bet’.
the worst game of football i have seen in a long time.well since saturdays celtic and hearts game.in all honesty i dont think the standard of the english premiership is all that great for the money thats been spent.for me the german and spanish leagues are far superior.
