Tottenham vs Arsenal: Shop Around for Best Value

April 19th, 2007

Here’s an example of why we have accounts with multiple bookies – and why you should too if you’re serious about improving your betting profits.

Bet365’s top numbers man, Nigel Ridgeway had the following to say about Saturday’s Tottenham vs Arsenal game

SPURS TO NICK NORTH LONDON GOAL FEST!
We’re getting down to the business-end of the season, and Spurs are fancied to get the job done against Arsenal in Saturday’s north London derby at generous odds of 17/10 (2.70) with bet365, who are once again betting every Premiership game to 107%.

All the recent signs suggest that the two teams are closer in quality now than they have been at any time since Arsene Wenger’s arrival, and the time looks right for Spurs to beat their local rivals for the first time this millennium, but have a bigger bet on the ‘overs’ at bet365’s 4/7 (1.57). Spurs have scored in every league game this year, except against Chelsea and Man United, and the three previous encounters between these two this season have all gone ‘over’.

Home-Draw-Away (1X2)
Tottenham 17-10 (2.70)
Draw          9 – 4 (3.25)
Arsenal       6 – 4 (2.50)

The crew from Paddy Power, top Irish online bookie say the following… fairly lightheartedly – but compare the differences in odds between the 2 bookies for 1X2 pricing. Where will you place your bets?

STONE MAD!!
Apart from the 6 sides in involved in a relegation battle, with 48 goals conceded this season Tottenham have the worst defence in the Premiership. That’s why we were somewhat surprised that Spurs’ assistant manager was so fulsome with his praise for Michael Dawson. We agree with Chris Hughton when he says “Michael has been a real rock for us” but only in the sense that he doesn’t tend to move much and when he does, it can cause havoc for those around him! After much promise, this season has petered out for Spurs and they desperately need to beat Arsenal to have concrete hopes of getting into the UEFA Cup! (Sat 12.45pm Prem+)

Win-Draw-Win
Tottenham  8 – 5 (2.60)
Draw         11 – 5 (3.20)
Arsenal       8 – 5 (2.60)

When I posted this item the best price around on an Arsenal win was at Betsson – but don’t take my word on it, compare the latest live bookmaker odds here at bookielabrat.com
