Bet on Chelsea - get refunded if they lose!
As mentioned elsewhere on Betfair Football this morning, Chelsea's trip to Blackpool has taken on new significance after a weekend in which both Manchester United and Arsenal dropped points, as victory for the Blues could thrust them right back into the title reckoning.
There's a quite incredible amount of faith being shown in Carlo Ancelotti's side by Betfair punters too following successive triumphs over FC Copenhagen and Manchester United, as the reigning champions are priced at [1.34] to win at Bloomfield Road and close within nine points of the summit.
Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £25 on this match and have your stake refunded if your punt proves unsuccessful.
Chelsea have been impressive on their travels in recent weeks, sticking four past both Bolton and Sunderland before earning a respectable west London derby point at Craven Cottage, a ground Fulham have lost only one of their last eight encounters at.
Blackpool slumped to a 4-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge at the start of the season, falling behind in only the second minute, and as the Seasiders have the joint lowest home points haul in the division, it's easy to see why Chelsea are so widely fancied.
There is certainly a case for backing the hosts though, as Ian Holloway's team have shown their ability to raise their game against big clubs by conquering Liverpool and Tottenham in front of their own fans and almost seeing off Manchester United.
If you think they can deliver their most shocking result yet, you can have a loss-proof bet on them at [11.5], but don't underestimate the significance of Charlie Adam and DJ Campbell's suspension-enforced absences.
