"Most people believe that this year was a one-off and that the chances of another non Big 4 winner next season are unlikely." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "And we hope they prove correct as, from a turnover point of view, it seems that the 'Cinderella Final' did not capture the punting public's imagination quite as much as we had hoped - turnover did not match last season's Final - so we are now looking for a big performance from the Champions League Final which, we predict, could produce a £15m bets turnover." Portsmouth's win hit bookies for seven. "Punters got behind Harry Redknapp's team and inflicted a seven figure hammering on bookies with some hefty bets struck on a Pompey win." said William Hill's spokesman. Portsmouth were 1/ 3 favourites to lift the trophy with Hills who made Cardiff 12/5 outsiders. William Hill make Portsmouth 33/1 to retain the FA Cup next season, 40/1 to win the UEFA Cup and offer 1/3 that Harry Redknapp will still be their manager on the last day of next season, with 9/4 that he will not. |
