We don’t see Everton as strong enough to take out Chelsea, but realise that the draw is a real possibility between these two teams. The logical betting option is to place a stake on Chelsea and then wager half this amount on the draw to ensure a profit if the match ends in the Chelsea win or draw. Laying Everton is also an option, but comes with a stiff liability.
