Good news for Paddy Power punters! The number crunchers in the Paddy Power trading room this morning have agreed to pay out on United to win the Premier League!.
With four fixtures remaining, a five point cushion and a certain Mr Ronaldo in their team, the team at PaddyPower.com sportsbook thinks it’s pretty obvious who will be lifting the Premier League trophy this season.
This cannie Irish bookie has paid out early on Man United to lift the title. As well as this, they’ve also paid out on Ronaldo to be top Premier League Goalscorer.
Here’s a quote from their onsite blog:
Let’s be honest, they are home and hosed at this stage and it would take a minor miracle for Chelsea to catch them. Having said that, we did end up paying out on both Arsenal and United to win the title a few years ago, so you never know. Whatever happens, we reckon that the money might as well be in the punter’s pocket at this stage.
And that’s just the start of it. Paddy Power are also paying out on Cristiano Ronaldo to finish the season as top Premier League goal scorer. Again, he’s well clear, and whatever you think of him, there’s no denying his quality. He has lit up the Premier League this season and to celebrate that fact, we’re not just paying out, we’re also adding a 10% bonus to the winnings of everyone who backed him.
Enjoy your winnings!
But wait… there’s more!
Paddy Power has also decided to payout early on the following bets:
– Real Madrid to win La Liga
– Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga
– Leinster to win the Magners League
– Liverpool in the Premiership w/o Big 3 market!
