Ashley Young delivers 439-1 early Christmas miracle Visit Betfair Save For Later Posted by Ian Noble 8 Dec 2008 Tweet Related Articles See all Betfair news Share it Pin It Aston Villa were matched at odds of 440 (439-1) on Betfair to beat Everton in what must surely go down as one of the most hectic two minutes of inplay football betting ever on Betfair, not to mention the history of the Premiership. With less than a minute of stoppage time left, Aston Villa were trading at odds of 1.04 (1-25), with the draw trading at a high of 26 (25-1). Everton defender Joleon Lescott, a childhood Villa fan, scored his second of the match to level the scores but with just enough time to re-start the match, Villa’s Ashley Young found a gap in Everton’s defence to run through and score a last-gasp winner. After Everton’s equaliser, Villa had drifted to odds of 440 (439-1) and £14 was traded on the away side at this price. With a share of the spoils looking a certainty, over £124,000 was traded on the draw at Betfair’s minimum price of 1.01 (1-100). Betfair Spokesman James Pacheco said: “Villa’s short-priced backers must have been tearing their hair out as Lescott equalised so late on for Everton but Ashley Young bailed them out in the end. With less than a minute on the clock, Villa had drifted to odds of 440 (439-1) on Betfair and the former Watford man delivered an early Christmas miracle for those who believed.” Betfair summary of the last two minutes Villa lead 2-1, one minute of stoppage time to go: · Villa trade at 1.04 (1-25) · Draw trades at 26 (25-1) Everton equalise and there’s less than a minute of stoppage time to go: · Draw trades at 1.01 (1-100) for over £124,000 · £14 is traded on Villa at odds of 440 (439-1) Ashley Young scores last-gasp goal Read our Betfair review £20 risk-free bet plus £1000 cashback Like Like Post to wall 379 Reads All Betfair News Recent Betfair Articles Betfair iPad app launched01 May 2012Betfair has released the latest version of its iPad app, with a host of new features including the Befair new Bet In-Play platform launched10 Mar 2011Befair is launching its new Bet In-Play platform with a range of enhanced features to make it a mor Olympiacos Arsenal Betfair tips08 Dec 2009Zico's pragmatism may just be enough to frustrate Wenger's idealism.
