Champions League Online Betting
19th May, 2009
Online betting sites's around the world are preparing themselves for a betting frenzy in the 7 days leading up to the Champions League final.
Barcelona play newly crown Premiership champions Manchester United in Rome, for what is likely to be the biggest football game of the year, with no international tournament's taking place this summer.
Online bookies will be looking forward to the millions of bets being place in the lead up to the game. Barcelona are slight favourites with online betting specialist Bet365 priced at 13/8.
After United won the league at the weekend bookies have shortened the odds on them retaining the Champions League, now priced at a equal 13/8 with Bet 365. However other bookies price the Red's at a longer 6/4.
The number of betting punters in the UK is growing at a rapid rate, with more wagering money online than ever before. Time constraints and the increasing ease of internet betting has allowed consumers to bet from the comfort of their own home.
Bet 365 offer their users a 'bet in play' service where customers can place money on who will win the next corner, foul, throw in as well as several different markets.
