Bet Smart: Week 14 - 16

My betting situation is now equivalent to a car crash. A whirlwind of crazy bets leave me with nearly 50% of the original pot. The exact amount is not known as my refusal to face up to reality might change my luck somwhat. Ok it is around $50. Enough. Let's analyze this weekend's games.

With hardly much cash to spare, $5 bets are the way to go. $5 on a Chelsea 3-0 win (6.70) over Wigan may seem ridiculous. But given Chelsea's clean sheets recently and Wigan's poor form, 3 goals shouldn't be a problem. Some might point to the fact that Wigan has only conceded 5-7 goals away all season. But this is Stamford Bridge and Wigan will be spanked. And Dave Whelan should stop calling for salary caps for players. Who cares about your rugby crap. Who cares what you think. Sucka.

My other bet would be on a Bolton 2-1 win against Aston Villa. Villa should have the strikers back for this game. Philips and Baros are excellent goal poachers. But Villa has a lack of squad depth, and with Bolton on a high after beating Wenger's Arsenal last weekend, Allardyce should have no problems against Aston Villa.
