Best odds on Betfair as Norwich strike late
Norwich remain in pole position to finish second in the Championship and confirm a spot in the Premier League after a wild Easter Monday in the Football League in which they left it agonisingly late - not for the first time this season - to celebrate a 3-2 victory over Derby.
It was a result which prompted comical scenes at Loftus Road, where QPR fans had already invaded the pitch believing that the match at Carrow Road had finished 2-2, a result that would have booked them a place in the Premier League, and Simeon Jackson's hat-trick also helped Betfair correct score backers win big.
Anyone who had £10 on the Canaries edging Derby out in a five-goal affair was rewarded with a return of £294.50 - even accounting for the maximum five per cent commission - whereas Coral customers made just £200 for the same outlay.
There was even more money to be made betting against other people on Betfair on the most shocking 3-2 triumph in the Championship on Monday as Sheffield United maintained the slimmest imaginable chance of surviving by fighting back from 2-0 down against a Reading side in fine form.
Those that stuck £10 on the Blades keeping the prospect of avoiding a reunion with neighbours Sheffield Wednesday alive by winning in such a way gained £893, which was close to double the £450 that Coral and UniBet users landed.
They look likely to join Preston in League One, as Phil Brown's team finally fell to a relegation that they fought valiantly to avoid after a 1-0 home defeat to promotion-chasing Cardiff. £10 on the Bluebirds paid out £90.25, while BetClic punters had to settle for only a £55 profit.
Don't take our word for it though, why not test Betfair yourself using Betchecker?
