OLDHAM VS BURNLEY FRIENDLY MATCH LATEST ODDS
If you're suffering from serious World Cup withdrawal, you may find yourself turning in to some of the rather turbid pre-season friendly matches that will be unfolding over the next few weeks in the run-up to the 2010/11 season. One of the standouts from today is Oldham vs Burnley and the folks over at Ladbrokes have been kind enough to provide 6 whole betting markets for this pre-season fixture.
At the outset, Burnley are priced at 1.72 to win the match with Oldham available at a 4.0 price tag. The draw is trading at 3.4 and I'm always tempted to back draws in pre-season football as the incentive to win just isn't really there. If the sides look even slightly matched up you can do well to back draws on a consistent basis.
Giving further credence to my opinion is the fact that the lowest-priced correct score draw is a 1-1 result at a 6.5 price. A 1-0 or 2-0 result to Burnley is paying out at a 7.0 margin and I don't really see them winning by much more than that. Oldham could definitely score and you also have to wonder whethere Burnley will be giving any younger goalkeepers a run on the pitch for this one. Careful analysis of teamsheets is integral to getting payouts on pre-season matches.
Should Oldham pull off a 1-0 victory, you're looking at a 9.0 margin while a 2-0 victory is listed at 21.0. A 15.0 payout is the result of a 2-1 Oldham victory.
The Asian handicap/goal line is set at 2.5/30 with the over favoured at 1.88 and the under at a 1.96 price.
A quality payout awaits if you can back the winner in the half-time/full-time market where Burnley/Burnley are priced at 2.5 and draw/Burnley is available at 4.5. The big payout is Burnley/Oldham at a 26.0 margin.
