Paddy Power Payout Early
23rd February, 2009
Paddy Power the well known bookmaker has started paying out early, to the tune of £1 million.
The bookmaker is so confident that Manchester United will win the domestic treble it is already paying out on bets placed.
Manchester United went 7 points clear at the top of the Premier League table this weekend after a win against Blackburn on Saturday, and rivals Liverpool failed to beat Manchester City yesterday.
The bookmaker has paid out early before on Manchester United to win the premiership title. However it has never paid out early on a team winning the domestic treble early.
“We’re confident that we won't be left with egg on our faces by paying up early," said Power.
Manchester United play Tottenham Hotspurs in the Carling Cup in March, then Swansea or Fulham six days later in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Most bookies price United as favourites to complete the treble, with 3/1 being the popular odd, but none are as confident as Paddy Power, who firmly believes this year’s premiership title challenge is already over.
