Football Betting: a 1187/1 winner, but little to celebrate
One lucky Belfast punter at bookmaker PaddyPower.com pulled off an unlikely accumulator bet on the weekend’s FA Cup play. The 1187/1 payout sounds impressive, but unfortunately the win while providing a great story at the pub paid out little in the way of cash – only ten pence was staked on the longshot!
A spokesman for Paddy Power, said: “Even at 1187/1 only one man was prepared to put his money where his mouth was. And you certainly won’t find us complaining, this weekend was our best ever for domestic football betting.”
Here’s the picks:
Portsmouth to beat Man Utd 8/1 (9.00)
Barnsley to beat Chelsea 8/1 (9.00)
Cardiff to beat Boro 5/1 (6.00)
West Brom to beat Bristol Rovers 10/11 (1.91)
