Powers to pay out €200,000 on Arsenal bets

BOOKMAKERS Paddy Power are to pay out on Arsenal winning the Premiership.

The company are paying out over €200,000 in winnings, over two months before the end of the season.

“We are taking a risk here, but this is what betting should be all about. The punters take a chance every time they place some money so why shouldn’t the bookies be taking risks too.

“Even though eternally optimistic Geordies and Mancunians think the race is not yet run, we all know that the Gunners have shot themselves into a winning lead.

“Our customers won’t have to wait to get their winnings, and that’s exactly as it should be, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if they all reinvest at the 2/9 currently available about Arsenal.

“2/9 shots do get beaten, but not this one!” spokesman Paddy Power said yesterday.
