Bookies Dodge Bullet Following Norwich Victory

William Hill dodged a large seven figure bullet as Arsenal’s inept performance against Norwich prevented a monster payout. After seven favourites in seven Premier League matches all won, Arsenal had the chance to become number seven.

“We obviously had large payouts as the three o’clock matches finished, but the Arsenal match was the big one,” said William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly. “The number of accas that were running onto the Gunners was ridiculous and while we have still come out of today losing, we have not been hit as hard as we could have been.”

Following their impressive victory, Norwich are 8/11 for relegation, while Arsenal’s price f winning the title has drifted from 10/1 to 12/1.
