"Victory for Harry Redknapp's hot favourites will have cost bookies a seven figure sum nationwide." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "We took several five figure bets of up to £20,000 a time, a few four figure wagers and thousands of smaller bets for them to win the game, and will be subsidising many Pompey parties as a result. We are optimistic of winning most of the money back from this week's Champions League final, between Manchester United and Chelsea, which will attract of £10 million worth of bets." Portsmouth were 1/ 3 favourites to lift the trophy with William Hill 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 - 9/4 that he will not. |
