Betfair provide best odds on Arsenal upset
In our preview of Arsenal's Champions League trip to Sporting Braga, we questioned the Gunners status as odds-on favourites and mused that there was very little chance of them keeping a clean sheet.
If you were willing to go one or two steps further than us there were delicious rewards up for grabs on Betfair, because in addition to paying out 20 per cent more than Coral, BetClic and others on the Braga win, Betfair provided the best price on the 2-0 margin of victory.
Anyone who stuck a tenner on the scoreline on Betfair would have received back £313.50, even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission, and that was almost double the £160 that Victor Chandler customers won for the same wager.
There were plenty of big wins to be enjoyed elsewhere on Betfair last night, such as by backing Sheffield Wednesday to be three goals better than League One's bottom club Walsall. A £10 stake on the Owls triumphing 3-0 returned £137.75, compared to just £80 with Ladbrokes and BetClic.
Another 3-0 goal success that delivered a huge prize on Betfair was Marseille's impressive dismantling of Spartak Moscow in the Russian capital. A £10 outlay on the French side securing their last 16 spot in style paid out £408.50, whereas Bet365, Bwin and Victor Chandler punters had to settle for £250.
Don't take our word for it though, why not test Betfair yourself using Betchecker?
