For the first time since Roman Abramovich arrived in west London in 2003, Manchester United triumphed over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and their long-awaited win their couldn't have come at a better time, putting them in pole position to progress through to the Champions League semi-finals.

Wayne Rooney was the hero after scoring his fourth goal in the capital in the space of five days and his first-half strike would have been celebrated wildly by Betfair customers that had backed the Red Devils to claim a 1-0 victory, as the best odds on the scoreline were offered on Betfair.

Those that stuck £10 on that result enjoyed a £95 profit - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission - whereas Ladbrokes, Victor Chandler and Sporting Bet users received only £70.

There was also more money to be made betting with other people on Betfair on Sir Alex Ferguson's side leading at half-time and full-time in the quarter-final first leg, as a £10 stake returned £64.60, compared to just £42 on Sporting Bet. That's a whopping 53 per cent difference in payout!

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