Best odds on Betfair as Man Utd win again
Manchester United warmed up for Sunday's Premier League title decider against Chelsea in the best way imaginable, by booking their spot in the Champions League Final with what was incredibly their 15th successive home victory in all competitions against Schalke.
It was the first time that Sir Alex Ferguson's side had beaten a Bundesliga club over two legs since the competition was rebranded and they will surely never again enjoy such straight-forward passage through a semi-final, following their 2-0 triumph in Gelsenkirchen with a 4-1 romp at Old Trafford.
Anderson was one of the night's biggest winners after doubling his Red Devils tally with two strikes in the space of five second-half minutes, but Betfair punters who backed them to progress in such dominant fashion will also have been delighted by the evening's events.
Anyone that stuck £10 on the Premier League leaders thumping Schalke 4-1 were rewarded with a monster payout of £370.50 - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission - whereas Ladbrokes customers received £160, less than half of that figure.
There was also a significantly bigger sum up for grabs on Betfair for wagers on the three-time European champions being ahead at both half-time and full-time, with a £20 flutter returning £29.26, compared to just £21 with Sporting Bet.
Correct score backers in the fifth and final Clasico of the season were also better off betting against other people on Betfair on a 1-1 draw at the Camp Nou as those that placed £10 on such an outcome won back £85.50, while Stan James and Ladbrokes users were forced to settle for only £60.
Don't take our word for it though, why not test Betfair yourself using Betchecker?
