Bookies Dodge 2,500-1 Bullet !!
Irish bookie Paddy Power dodged a 2500-1 bullet on Tuesday night when Arsenal thrashed Liverpool in thier Carling Cup quarter final at Anfield.
The 6-3 scoreline to Arsenal was available at a whopping 2,500/1 before kick off on Monday night, the biggest ever correct score odds in living memory according to the bookmakers.
Not surprisingly – the bookie reports not having taken a single winning bet on the correct score prediction.
Paddy Power said, “Liverpool were hot favourites to win, boy did we get it wrong! I know it’s a funny old game and all that, but nine goals at Anfield?
“It’s the most unlikely ever correct score that I can remember and if anyone had been lucky enough, or crazy enough to back it, they’d have got tasty odds of 2,500/1!”

Chelsea remain hot favourites at 8/15 to go on and win the Carling Cup ahead of their match with outsiders Wycombe on Wednesday night while Arsenal are now 3/1 second favourites.
