Best odds on Betfair for 1-1 Everton draw
Everton's bid to end a disappointing season on an unexpected high by securing a Europa League spot suffered a blow on Wednesday night as they were held by struggling Birmingham at Goodison Park.
But while David Moyes' side started the match as inexplicably short odds-on favourites, we were confident that the two clubs would prove inseparable and recommended backing the 1-1 draw, and any punters that followed our advice were handsomely rewarded.
A £10 bet on that scoreline returned £76 on Betfair - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission - whereas the same wager earned Ladbrokes and Blue Square customers only £55. Bets on the draw were also worth more, with a £10 stake delivering a £31.35 profit, compared to £26 with SportingBet.
There was also more money to be made betting against other people on Betfair as Schalke booked a place in the Champions League quarter-finals for the second time in four years with a 3-1 victory over two-time finalists Valencia in Gelsenkirchen.
Anyone who stuck £10 on that margin of success won back a massive £275.50, a huge increase on the £180 that Ladbrokes bettors received. Betfair was also the place to be for straight-up flutters on the hosts, as £20 on Felix Magath's team provided a £33.06 payout, while SportingBet users were forced to settle for £28.
Don't take our word for it though, why not test Betfair yourself using Betchecker?
