LADBROKES TAKING BETS

From The Guardian:

‘Ladbrokes have reopened their book on this year's Premiership following demand from punters.


The bookmaker paid out on Chelsea nearly three months ago but has reconsidered after Manchester United's victory at Bolton and Chelsea's goalless draw at Birmingham.


"They started coming on for United on Friday afternoon and the trickle became a flood after the two results, so we decided to re-open," said a spokesman. However, the champions are still 16-1 on to retain their title with United 7-1 to overhaul their seven-point lead.'
