Best odds on Betfair for Birmingham's win
Not for the first time this season, it was a dreadful weekend to be a West Ham fan as the three teams immediately surrounding them at the start of play all recorded victory while they suffered a costly 1-0 home defeat to relegation rivals Birmingham to return to the bottom of the table.
Birmingham looked to be content with a point but ended up with all three after Nikola Zigic headed in from a Sebastian Larsson free kick in the second half, and anyone who predicted that the Blues would earn their second Premier League travelling triumph of 2010-11 was rewarded on Betfair.
A £10 bet on the visitors winning 1-0 provided a profit of £133 on Betfair - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission - and that was almost double the £70 that Ladbrokes paid out for the exact same bet.
There was also more money to be made betting against other people on Betfair for two of the most significant Premier League results of matchday 25, as £10 on Wolves beating Manchester United 2-1 delivered £313.85 compared to only £180 with William Hill and Bet365.
Liverpool's shock 1-0 success at Stamford Bridge was also a brilliant scoreline to have backed on Betfair as incredible odds of [20.0] meant a return of £180.50 for a £10 stake, whereas Stan James customers had to settle for £80.
Don't take our word for it though, why not test Betfair yourself using Betchecker?
