Roy Hodgson was staring at a second home loss to Wolves this season but a last-gasp goal by Carlos Vela ensured that his debut in the West Brom dugout didn't end in a disastrous derby defeat, and the equaliser was also great news for a fair few Betfair punters.

Anyone that staked £10 on Wolves leading at half-time at The Hawthorns before eventually being forced to settle for a point won back a massive £152 on Betfair - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission - whereas Bwin customers only earned £110 for the same wager.

There was big money to be made betting against other people on Middlesbrough's impressive 3-2 victory away to play-off hopefuls Millwall in the Championship in a match marred with controversy. A tenner on the scoreline was turned into £655.50 on Betfair, compared to £290 with BetClic.

Overseas, one of the biggest shocks of an eventful day in Italy was struggling Lecce's 2-0 lunchtime win over the mighty Juventus, just a week after the Bianconeri had recorded a 1-0 Derby d'Italia triumph over champions Inter Milan.

Their 2-0 reverse at the Stadio Via del Mare provided shrewd Betfair correct score backers with a tasty £427.50 profit, a huge improvement on the £190 received by anyone that placed their bet with BetClic.

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