Betfair Trading: 349-1 Trapattoni gets the job Visit Betfair Save For Later Posted by James Cameron 13 Feb 2008 Tweet Related Articles See all Betfair news Share it Pin It After an 112-day search and a Betfair market that eventually saw over €6.4M traded, Giovanni Trapattoni was finally unveiled as the new Republic of Ireland manager this evening. Trapattoni, who was only added to Betfair’s market three weeks ago, traded at a top price of 349-1 en route to his appointment today. In an extraordinary betting market that saw 10 individuals trade as favourite on Betfair – four of whom traded at odds-on prices - Trapattoni’s appointment tonight on a two-year contract finally ends months of speculation and frenzied betting. Betfair’s Eoin Ryan commented: “Trapattoni will be celebrating tonight and I dare say there are plenty of Betfair customers who will be raising a glass as well. “With 10 individual favourites though, four of whom traded at odds-on prices, there are sure to have been some fingers badly burnt along the way.’’ Highs and Lows Giovanni Trapattoni: 349-1 en route to landing the Rep. of Ireland job today.
