What is this? A double overtime game so they double the markets?

I could live with the doubling up, but there are different prices on each line!

Very confusing. And the over-rounds were playing havoc with my brain.

Young managed to score the winner with only seconds left and Villa took all 3 points.

This match reminds me of the Turkey – Croatia match from this summers at the Euro.

Here are the betfair graphics for this match. One is the draw graphic and the other the Villa graphic

Above we have the Manchester United betfair graphic at half time.It clearly shows that United was quite the favorite, with some big bets on a United win.But despite the fact that United was the better team on the pitch they didn’t manage to score any goals and the scoreline was 0-0 at half time.

The second half begun and United continued to dominate, but still no goal.Ronaldo had to be changed and that didn’t help the United “backers” at all.So, the odds kept on going up and up and up.

And then, when you would think United has no chance, and Sunderland managed to get at least one point, Vidic scores.

During this midweek, Arsenal played Spurs and after the change of couch at Spurs, things seem to have gone back to the way they were.Spurs score and receive a lot of goals.But that not what i wanted to say.

Take a look at the betfair graphic up above.Spurs scored two late goal which turned the match upside down.There were matched bets at 1.01 1.02 1.03 before Spurs decided not to lose the match.If you look closely, one line on the graphic even reaches the 400 000 GBP barrier.

The graphic is for Manchester United just before the start of the match.Again, some really big bets.

Arsenal, as most of the matches played at home, was the team with the main initiative and dominated the match.They did have the lead 1-0 but failed to win.Why? Because experience is very important in football.But we are getting into another story here.Maybe in another post.

But what is interesting for me here is the betfair graphic on Arsenal, just before the start of the match.

Let’s take a look an see how there are some big bets placed on Arsenal.You can clearly see at least 5 major bets that bring the price down by one tick.Two of those bets pass, or at least reach the 200 000 GBP barrier.What i would really like to know is did those punters sell for a profit after the first goal, or did they stick to their bet to end up losing like Arsenal?
