"As it was the second straight game involving Liverpool to end 4-4 we were apprehensive that we might take a big hit but we can find just 18 bets in our 2200-plus shops, online and telephone businesses, which successfully predicted that scoreline. One, a Lark Lane, Liverpool betting shop customer, staked £40 and is £4000 better off, while the others ranged from 30p to £10 but in total, we have paid out under £10,000 on that outcome and made a profit of getting on for half a million on the game." said William Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "By and large, football backers dislike backing draws as they are never quite sure which team they are supporting at any given moment and fortunately for us, they certainly don't like high scoring draws. We'd be delighted to see a string of 4-4 draws during the remainder of the football season." The bookies offer odds of 33/1 about Liverpool being involved in any more 4-4 draws this season. |
