Birmingham have been skilled since promotion at holding the Premier League's elite to draws at St Andrew's but they finally managed to go one better at the weekend with a 1-0 victory over champions Chelsea that saw them exit the relegation zone and blow the title race wide open.

But it wasn't just fans in Birmingham and Manchester celebrating the shock success, as it was a great result for correct score bettors on Betfair. A tenner outlay on the 1-0 margin paid out £161.50, even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission, while Ladbroke and Victor Chandler dished out only £90.

Over in the Championship, it was Bristol City who provided Betfair customers with the most joy as £10 on them overcoming Leicester 2-0 at Ashton Gate delivered a profit of £190, whereas Ladbrokes returned just £80 for the same wager.

There was money to be made overseas too, especially in the Bundesliga where Koln's 1-0 triumph away to improving Stuttgart was brilliant news for Betfair score backers. A £10 stake on that outcome was worth £266, almost three times the £90 that Ladbrokes and Stan James punters settled for.

Don't take our word for it though, why not test Betfair yourself using Betchecker?
