£2 Punter Wins Big On Hammers Hammering United
Although plenty of people would have been expecting Arsenal to triumph against Wigan tonight, not many people were expecting West Ham to win and even fewer predicted 4-0 – with the biggest bet placed being £2 at William Hill, with odds of 125/1. Hills are offering 5/2 that tonights victors meet each other in the final with Arsenal the 8/11 favourites to win the tournament and West Ham 9/2.
Upton Park was bouncing tonight, not least in the seat that housed the loyal Hammer who placed £2 at 125/1 on 4-0. There was not many people who risked even £1 on such an unlikely outcome, said Hills spokesman Joe Crilly.
Ipswich are the only non-Premier League side left but even that may not be able to save Roy Keanes job should they be humiliated tomorrow against West Brom. Hills are offering 4/1 that Keano leaves his job between the end of the West Brom game and the start of the Swansea game.
William Hill Carling Cup Odds:
Outright: 8/11 Arsenal; 9/2 West Ham; 13/2 Aston Villa; 9/1 West Brom; 9/1 Birmingham; 20/1 Ipswich
5/2 West Ham/Arsenal Final
4/1 Roy Keane leaves his job between the end of the West Brom game and the start of the Swansea game
