Betfred have officially paid out on Liverpool to win the league with 11 games left
With 11 games still yet to be played in the Premier League, bookmaker Betfred have now paid out on Liverpool to win the title with an 11-point gap built between them and Arsenal in the table.
Betfred have revealed that they have paid out more than £1m on Liverpool win the league despite three months left of the season after the Reds lead at the top of the table grew after a massive weekend.
Arne Slot's side comfortably beat Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad on Super Sunday just 24 hours after Arsenal were defeated 1-0 by West Ham at the Emirates.
This move by Betfred is the 10th time that they have paid out early on the Premier League winners with seven of those being the right decision and two going on to lose in the title race so far.
The most famous occasion came in 1998 when Fred Done paid out on Manchester United to win the league after being 12 points clear before they bottled the lead to lose to Arsenal by a point.
What the expert says...
Jake Ashton - Football Betting Expert - OLBG.com
Betfred boss Fred Done is famously a massive Manchester United fan but he has paid out on their rivals Liverpool to win the Premier League before February has even wrapped up.
Done said, “As a lifelong Manchester United fan, it pains me having to pay out on Liverpool winning the Premier League title for a second time."
"After this weekend’s results, I believe the writing is on the wall and Liverpool will win the league this season in convincing fashion. To anybody who’s backed them to win the title with us, go and collect your money.”
Arsenal are still 9/1 to win the league despite the 11 point gap at the top of the table
Despite paying out on Liverpool to win the Premier League this season, Betfred are still offering odds on Arsenal winning the Premier League this season.
The latest betting market puts the Gunners at 9/1 second favourites for the title with those odds suggesting a 10% chance that they can win the league.
Mikel Arteta himself declared "over my dead body" when he was asked if he had given up on his team's title hopes this season earlier on Tuesday.
