What is going on with the Champions League? £400 on betfair yesterday against AC Milan qualifying would have won you £10,000. Or putting it another way, people were prepared to risk a pound for the possibility, which they obviously considered to be a very high probability, of winning 4 pence. That is what you call an odds–on favourite. Just goes to show that there’s no such thing as a sure thing. (Or that all sport is now fixed by Malaysian betting syndicates).
