Big prize for 2-1 Chelsea backers on Betfair
We recommended backing Chelsea to beat Manchester United 2-1 in Tuesday night's high-stakes Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge. Did you listen? If you did, you'll be a lot better off this morning as the best price available anywhere on that outcome was provided on Betfair.
Anyone who stuck £10 on the scoreline received a £90.25 profit - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission - whereas Stan James and Ladbrokes customers had to settle for just £70.
There was also more money to be made betting against other people on Betfair on the big shock in the FA Cup as Everton's fourth round elimination of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge proved to be worth nothing as they fell to a 1-0 home defeat against Championship side Reading.
A £10 wager on the Royals upsetting the odds for the second successive season on Merseyside returned £228 on Betfair, which was more than double the £90 that Ladbrokes punters were given.
There was an equally surprising result in League One as Southampton's promotion charge was halted by struggling Walsall, who recorded a 1-0 victory over the Saints on home soil to earn anyone who had staked £10 on the margin on Betfair a delicious £175.75, compared to only £80 with Stan James and Ladbrokes.
Don't take our word for it though, why not test Betfair yourself using Betchecker?
