Two punters set to win over £20,000 if Arsenal win Premier League AND Europa League double
TWO Betfair punters are set to collect a colossal £10,650 each if Arsenal win the Premier League and Europa League!
Mikel Arteta’s side started the campaign at 425/1 to win an impressive double, which was backed by 30 punters at the time.
Two of those backing the Gunners, both placed £25 on the double, meaning they are set to win £10,650 each if Arsenal win both competitions.
As the season has progressed, the odds for Arsenal to win silverware have tumbled.
The double was 80/1 by the middle of August following their impressive start to the league campaign.
It’s now offered at 11/2 with the Gunners leading the division by five points and having secured qualification to the Round of 16 stage in the Europa League.
The punters will most likely be watching Arsenal in action tonight when they take on Sporting Lisbon at the Jose Alvalade Stadium in the first leg.
Should they advance, they could potentially book a clash with heavyweights Manchester United, Juventus, Union Berlin, Roma or Sevilla in the next round.
Betfair Spokesperson, Sam Rosbottom said: “Arsenal fans won’t want to shout it too loudly, but they are having an incredible season that looks set to end in long-awaited silverware.
“They are currently the odds-on favourites to win the Premier League title ahead of Manchester City, and they are well placed in the Europa League to go all the way and achieve European success.
“There are a number of Betfair punters who took a chance on them to have multiple trophy lifts at the end of the season.
“And 30 of them managed to back the Gunners at odds of 425/1 to do the Premier League and Europa League double, with two punters set to land over £10,000 each if Arteta’s side win both competitions.
“So far it’s looking good for them, and the odds are now as short as 11/2 for the double to land.”
