A bumper night for Betfair punters!
Chelsea's Premier League campaign looks as good as finished following their shock 1-0 defeat away to Wolves.
A Jose Boswinga own goal in the fifth minute was enough to give Mick McCarthy's men all three points and leave Chelsea trailing league leaders Manchester United by nine points having played a game more.
Betfair punters backing Chelsea to lose 1-0 against Wolves were rewarded with a huge £190 pay out - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission - while those betting on the same outcome with Ladbrokes only received £90 for their stake.
Things were even better if you had the luck to back Blackburn to win 3-1 against Liverpool. A Martin Olsson strike and a Benjani brace secured the three points for Rovers and made Roy Hodgson's position as Liverpool manager even more precarious.
A £10 bet on a 3-1 final score would have returned a very nice £250 with Ladbrokes, but the same punt with Betfair would have landed a absolutely enormous £465.50 - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission.
You were also better off backing the slightly more predictable goalless draw between Arsenal and Manchester City at the Emirates with Betfair. A tenner bet on the game finishing 0-0 won you £128.25 with Betfair, but only £90 with Ladbrokes.
Don't take our word for it though, why not test Betfair yourself using Betchecker?
