Bookmaker Paddy Power is already crediting money to people who bet Chelsea to win the English Premier League. Now keep in mind that the season is 7 GAMES OLD!!!!! Chelsea is 7-0-0 and looking good, but there are still 31 games left in the season!!! Amazing!!! What happens if Chelsea blows the lead? Anyone out there who can see why they'd do this so early into the season when so much could change?
I agree that Chelsea will probably hold on. But the season is only 20% over. If Cech goes down that team could be in trouble. Or if Makelele goes down they could be in trouble as well. That Chelsea backfield did not impress me against Liverpool. They can be burnt with speed on the edges and a tall player can win the aerial game in the middle. Against Liverpool, they didn't know what to do when Hyppia and Crouch came into the middle.
Mr Hines,
This is an old bookmaking ploy to suck in greenhorn punters to think " Wow, what a great book", in reality the liability is next to nothing, especially when you add in advertising costs. That said, PP are a good book which I have never had a problem with and are 100% safe.
Gezzz, its hard running around all these sites, best o luck this weekend Mr Hines, keep on the winning path, dont forget the studying.

Yea Winbet, I just wonder to myself, what happens if Chelsea do lose the Premiership. What does the book do then? Try to reclaim the Chelsea money? I've seen books do this before, but never this early, I just hope Tottenham Hotspur can be the team to give Chelsea a run.

They're good as in safe but a bit behind times and don't seem to care about opportunites to get some international money (their odds only display in fractions). Their juice is better than it used to be though, perhaps a result of UK gaming law reforms. Nice move by them on the Chelsea bets they need all the loyalty they can get with all the competition out there.
