Huge prize for Arsenal backers on Betfair!
Bloomfield Road, where Liverpool and Tottenham had already come unstuck and Manchester United nearly did too, threatened to be the ground where Arsenal's title bid was killed off once and for all, but a 3-1 win ensured that the Gunners are still just about in contention, seven points off the pace.
It was their first victory in six and those that backed them to triumph by that scoreline on Betfair were generously rewarded, landing £118.75 for a £10 wager - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission - whereas Stan James customers only claimed £80.
There was also more money to be made betting against other people on Betfair as Bolton recorded what was incredibly their eighth successive win over West Ham, who have never claimed a Premier League point at the Reebok Stadium.
Anyone who staked £10 on the FA Cup semi-finalists beating the relegation battlers 3-0 made a massive profit of £294.50, which was more than double the £140 that was dished out to those that had the exact same flutter with Ladbrokes.
Another 3-0 defeat for a struggling side that helped several shrewd Betfair punters significantly bolster their accounts was Wolves' shock thumping at the hands of Everton, who now top the Premier League form table after four triumphs and two draws in six fixtures.
£10 on Mick McCarthy's team being shown up at Molineux by that hefty margin returned £465.50, while Ladbrokes users were forced to settle for just £250.
Don't take our word for it though, why not test Betfair yourself using Betchecker?
