William Hill Reports Massive Betting on Big Match
It turned out to be a good day for the bookies as well, with Chelsea, the league leaders and marginal favourites, coming out on the wrong side of a one-nil defeat. It must have been a bitter pill to swallow for the two people who made the biggest bets of £38,000 ($66,200) and £17000 ($29,600) on a Chelsea win.
“William Hill alone took around £1.5 million ($2.6 million) on the game,” said a company spokesman, “which made United’s victory a great result for us.” The biggest bets made on a Manchester United victory were decidedly smaller, peaking at £6,500 ($11,300).
Nevertheless, the defeat has not changed Chelsea’s position as the overwhelming favourites for the league title. You won’t get much return on your money with the odds currently at 1/12!
