Paddy Power publish golf betting losses

In winning the Deutsche Bank Players Championship, Andrés Romero stung the pockets of the irish bookmaker Paddy Power. Paddy Power stood the biggest bet on the Argentinian, laying £4,000 at 28-1. That customer collected £112,000. Another irish bookie Boylesports took a string of three-figure bets, including one of €500 (£337) at 5-1 in-play. One Sporting Index client collected £6,600 after selling Romero’s finishing position at 34 for £200 a place.

Boylesports was also forced to pay a punter from Tallaght €7,000 (£4,716) after he wagered €1,000 (£674) at 7-1 about Jim Furyk winning the Canadian Open. It was worse for Victor Chandler, which lost £50,000 thanks to Furyk’s success at Angus Glen. Still, at least Nick Faldo did not win the Senior Open Championship - that result would have cost VC Bet a further £25,000.
India attracted plenty of interest to defeat England in the second Test, although most of the money came in-play. SkyBet reported a £20,000 punt at 1-2 (but got most of its money back when a client staked £16,000 at 5-6 that there would be fewer than 88 runs in the second session of day two). William Hill saw a £16,000 wager at 1-16 while Boyle’s stood multiple bets between €300 (£202) and €1,000 (£674). Paddy Power reported the draw best backed (one of £4,500 at 6-5) while England (£2,500 at 6-5) also saw support.

VC Bet laid the draw heavily, standing one bet of £12,000 at 4-6. A Sporting Index account holder bought India’s first-innings total at 300 for £50 per run, resulting in a £9,050 win.
