Arsenal - Hull 1-2, big bets before the match

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Hull won today against Arsenal right on Emirates Stadium.

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.

Arsenal - Hull - Betfair Graphic

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?
