Will Online Bookies payout big on Manchester United
16th April, 2009
After last night’s 1-0 win over Porto FC, Manchester United’s hopes of winning the quintuple are still very much alive
Whilst fans will be delighted with Manchester United’s latest performance, bookmakers are said to be less than pleased with the situation- as it means bookmakers may be forced to pay out large sums of money.
In fact, some online bookies have already started cutting odds to just 11/2 for a United win. It is said that the only team capable of standing in United’s way is Barcelona which is favourite to win the Champions League this year.
Skybet make Barcelona 15/8 favourite with United close behind at 2/1.
Helen Jacob, the spokesperson for SkyBet said, This has been a really popular market, and with victory at the Estadio do Dragao having been such a big ask, a rival Champions League team has been very well supported to end United’s quintuple dream. Nobody has backed an FA Cup team to scupper the five-timer so we’re hoping that Everton can do the business on Saturday. If United come unstuck at the hands of the Toffees, we’ll be celebrating well into next week, given the huge liabilities we have on Fergie’s side lifting all five trophies.”
Manchester United is favourite to win on Saturday against Everton with SkyBet putting Manchester United 4/5 favourite and Everton 4/1 underdog.
