We drifted out to 20/1 after the Huddersfield game in some bookies. 50/1 after Blackburn, 250/1+ after Stoke.
It was after the Huddersfield game when the switch of owners was suddenly made without announcement.
The odds in Asia likely to be highly and much less regulation, these are no fools, they could easily run a number of smaller stake bets to combine into a much bigger one.
The fact the administrators were told to wait one week, after two more games, allowed the odds to push out further increasing the pot of winnings without the need to put on huge stakes.
A £70k stake after the Stoke game alone nets you a return of £17.5m but more likely in the Asian market in excess of £20m.
There are bigger stakes often placed by individuals at the Grand National, Cheltenham etc. Someone whacked on £100k on one horse at Cheltenham in 2017!
A coordinated betting scheme across a region isn't as far fetched as you would think.
