Championship Playoff Final Result: Happy Hammers back in the big time

West Ham are back in the Premier League after edging a highly competitive encounter with Blackpool in the Championship playoff final.

An 86th minute winner from fans' favourite Ricardo Vaz Te took the Londoners through after Thomas Ince had cancelled out Carlton Cole's opener.

West Ham were backed at an in-play high of 6.86/1, denying backers of the draw at 1.292/7, while the 2-1 final score was backed at 13.012/1.

After a season in which the Hammers were rarely out of the top spots, it's no surprise to see that they never traded above 3.6553/20 to be promoted from The Championship. Blackpool were backed at a low of 2.166/5m in the same market.

At the time of publishing the Hammers are 500.0499/1 to win the Premier League next year. Something tells us that'll be closer to 1000.0999/1 by the time the hangovers have faded at Upton Park.
