Explain this to me!

This I totally do not understand:
On 3 January Watford was playing against Chelsea at home and the closing price in Macau was
0.975 Chelsea 1.5 Watford 0.875.
Yesterday Watford was playing away and the match closed
0.8 Chelsea 1.5/2 Watford 1.05

Can't I select two options ? If I could, then I'm on the 3rd and on the last one, acw.
I was checking out Pointbet odds, then suddenly wtf ?? a minute ago it was 2.125 on Chelsea -2 and now it's 2.125 on Chelsea -1.75 !! A mistake ? Having read enough on ethics here on the Rx, my concience called me to let them know, however sooner than I could react and predictable enough the line begins drifting to close at Chelsea -1.75 @ 1.93 or something.

"0.975 Chelsea 1.5 Watford 0.875.
Yesterday Watford was playing away and the match closed
0.8 Chelsea 1.5/2 Watford 1.05"

I can't see any discrepancy in these odds, the way you described this scenario. The -goals for chelsea increased and their odds decreased, since they are now playing at home, what's the problem with that? You obviously think that the goal difference should have been set higher, but that's just an (informed) opinion. I might be missing something here, i don't think i am, but i might, but these odds seem just right for me. If i were the bookmaker my rationale would be: Chelsea only have to win with one goal difference to qualify and will possibly aim for a couple of goals to safeguard their victory during game time, i don't see any extra incentive here, it's not even a league game, so i can't see any reason for a 2 goal difference, better set it at 1.5/2 and lower the odds for chelsea.

i don't see any extra incentive here
I know what you are saying, but still it is not even a 1/2 goal difference. Another factor is that Chelsea and Watford are close to each other, so not that much of a home team advantage.

Anything you like the weekend?

Sorry for my late reply, but I have been rather busy with a new bet that has recently been introduced by the Hong Kong Jockey Club in which one has to find the correct FTHT for 6 matches:

After the first weekend nobody won it, so there is already a nice jackpot:
