Best odds on Betfair as Arsenal fight back
Andrey Arshavin and Robin van Persie both struck in the final 21 minutes at The Hawthorns though to save Arsenal from a loss that looked certain when Manuel Almunia darted out of his box in the 58th minute to allow Peter Odemwingie to fire relegation-threatened West Brom into a 2-0 lead.
It wasn't just Gunners supporters that were left grateful to their front men however as their comeback in the Black Country was no doubt delightfully received by the shrewd Betfair punters that backed the Baggies to lead at half-time but be pegged back for a draw after the break.
A £10 wager on that half-time/full-time combination provided a profit of £175.75 - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission - whereas Coral customers received only £120 for the same bet.
There was also far more money to be made betting against other people on Betfair that West Ham would prevent Tottenham from scoring for the second time this season, having previously gone 14 months without keeping a clean sheet on their travels.
A £10 stake on the London rivals playing out a 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane paid out £156.75, which was almost double the £80 that Ladbrokes users gained, leaving plenty of punters to be thankful to Jermain Defoe and Carlton Cole for their wastefulness in front of goal, and Robert Green for another fine display.
It was also a great weekend for those that expected the division's other in-form relegation battlers, Wolves, to deliver again. Their 1-0 victory over crisis club Aston Villa won Betfair backers £142.50 for a £10 outlay, whereas those that flutter with Stan James and Ladbrokes were forced to settle for just £80.
Don't take our word for it though, why not test Betfair yourself using Betchecker?
