Stick with Betfair to win big on score bets!
The biggest shock in the Champions League last night was undoubtedly FC Basel's 3-1 victory over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico and if you had a fiver on that scoreline on Betfair, you would have won an incredible £304, even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission!
The same wager with William Hill paid out a comparatively paltry £165, meaning that Betfair's odds for that Group E clash were 84 per cent better.
That match wasn't the only one in which correct score backers would have been betting off betting on Betfair. A tenner on Bayern Munich beating CFR Cluj 3-2 in the other game in that group earned £351.50 on Betfair compared to £250 with bwin, which in that instance was 40 per cent more.
It wasn't only in fixtures with fairly unexpected outcomes that Betfair outshone their rivals though, as a tenner on Marseille defeating MSK Zilina 1-0 provided a return of £68.40 on Betfair, 36 per cent more than the £50 you'd have received for the same punt with Coral.
Betfair's bigger winnings weren't correct score exclusive either, as £20 on one of the many odds-on favourites in action yesterday, Sporting Braga against Partizan Belgrade, paid 11 per cent more on Betfair - £15.58 for a £20 stake than it did bwin - £14.
